The Crow Country reversible cover art is sick af. Hell yea (love the black spine with custom text!)

Also pictured: the reversible cover for Bye Sweet Carole (both Switch)

This is how you do reversible covers, people!
reversible covers for Crow Country and Bye Sweet Carole on Switch Crow Country shows a murky white background with 85% of the cover taken up by a close-up of a crow from the game looking right at you with the logo on its "chest". it's all overlaid by a fuzz filter indicating grainy video footage. also the spine is black which is hella cool. Bye Sweet Carole features different artwork from the main cover too and is mostly blue with the main character falling down some swirly hole made up of clock imagery and eery looking rabbits with glowy eyes and other creatures like an owl or a tentacle. also one random cute birb. the villain is looking down into the swirl from above. there's also what looks like a friendly npc character with an umbrella in there with her - clearly also a fantasy creature: lanky arms and legs with a marshmallow face.

okay who at Square Enix Europe was reading this thread because ....

it just went on sale in the EU eShop for the first time ever!?!? The timing is BIZARRELY comical.
screenshot from the Nintendo of Europe web-eShop showing the THE LAST REMNANT REMASTERED game page having a 60% off sale, reducing the 19.99EUR game to 7.99EUR until the 17th of November.

Congrats on your new CEO, Nintendo of America. Absolute legend.
iconic photo of Satoru Shibata, former president of Nintendo of Europe, from a 3DS-era Nintendo Direct hosted by NOE. He is imitating the classic Ace Attorney "Objection!" pose, including the slicked back hair. Absolute legend.

I'm literally scanning my hard drive right now in hopes past me was a genius but all I get is this :(

the internet has suffered a great loss.

an Idle Thumbs classic (discussed on the pod, referencing this video from a unknown player)
the classic "there's a problem with the toilet" video from Hitman (2016) in which Agent 47 kept calling hotel staff to check out a faulty toilet with the epic reveal of the entire bathroom filled with corpses has apparently been privated on an abandoned account.

Has anyone talked about Koei Tecmo finally/sadly/smartly killing off the Project Zero brand name for "Zero" (JP name)/ "Fatal Frame" (North American name) in EU/former PAL-territories? They're going all-in on unifying the franchise as "Fatal Frame" in the West now. RIP Project Zero.

And then Tanabe-san said "Make me a marble statue of my son, Sylux. Make him strike a pose of strength, wisdom, courage, and passion. Make it show the love his father has for him so that no one shall dare doubt our bond".
a close-up of the product shot of the Sylux amiibo from Metroid Prime 4, striking the classic "power flowing through me"-type villain pose, gaze to the heavens, 90° arms with clenched fists similarly poking skyward, legs in a power stance picture of Kensuke Tanabe from Nintendo's 2013 E3 booth in a brown shirt, sporting a DK tie with a Madonna headset and glasses, 90° arms with open hands poking skyward, gaze to the off-camera horizon ...essentially matching his son, Sylux.

wild way to kick off marketing for a DKC3 remake.
a screenshot from Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble (1996) showing Dixie Kong and Kiddie Kong having entered the log-cabin styled NPC shop of the - wait for it - Brothers Bear (old Barnacle in this case, white mustache and fisherman's cap and knitted sweater and to make Chris Evans jealous)! In the background is a cage holding a banana bird captive.

While on the topic of physical releases with cool art stuff: I love it when someone responsible for package design decides to care and include a version of the cover without any age ratings logos, such as The Thing and Soul Reaver from their respective EU CEs (Bakeru is a reversible cover in EU).
Switch boxes for The Thing: Remastered, Bakeru, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered with clean artwork and no age rating logos in sight.

I know today is all about bananas but I also got my copy of The Thing Remastered in and I'm just pumped about clever use of the usually lazily left blank inside of the cover sheet with at best some legalese on there. But this is sick. A silhouette shot of the outpost from the film's opening.
inside shot of the Switch game case of The Thing Remastered showing the inside of the cover sheet which is white with some legal disclaimers on the right (as is often the case) but the whole width at the bottom is a silhouette of Outpost 31 from the opening shots of the film. They didn't have to do this but someone cared. the corresponding shot of Outpost 31 from the actual film's opening.

This one is the 2nd. to last one where he is taking up the whole frame in a blurry super close-up, clearly being very excited.

anyone wanna reheat the yellow paint discourse again over the Nightreign cum rags?

First time the new DK design, first introduced in the Mario Movie, has appeared in a game. Miyamoto quote/pic from: www.gamesradar.com/super-mario-...
blurry zoomed in shot from the Switch 2 reveal video which had some footage of a new Mario Kart, here showing a close-up of DK looking like the Mario Movie design. Burly and with the bigger emphasis on the dark outline around the eyes. new DK model still from the Mario Movie reveal trailer where Miyamoto introduces the new design at the end article snapshot from the Mario Movie trailer reveal after which Miyamoto explains the DK redesign: ""It's been over 40 years since the release of the original Donkey Kong game, which was also my debut title. We've also changed his design for the first time since he became a 3D model in the original Donkey Kong Country game," said Miyamoto. "Some of you may have noticed, but for this movie, we've seized the opportunity to give him a comical personality and design reminiscent of the original character.""
