"Featuring Sparkster!" Who's Sparkster? The guy on the box, dummy! What, you've never heard of Sparkster!?
God I adore this game. That "Featuring Sparkster" thing always made me feel like I was missing out on a previous game though.

I only just realised what a weird joke, or design oversight, this description is.
Ice Shriek Bats exist in one room in all of Metroid Prime. After collecting a certain upgrade, they vanish completely.
That upgrade? THE THERMAL VISOR.
They're deleted from the game when you're able to see them!

There was definitely a moment when "That weird foreign animation style" went from this to something like Ninja Scroll. It was like spending your life watching He Man and skipping straight to Alien.

That's where my mind went. 2022 we were still doing "Shrek meets Conan"
I feel that's not enough to get usable concept art from.

I, personally, prefer it to look a bit more subtle. Ghost of Tsushima has marks on cliffs but they look like scuff marks from other people who already climbed it.
They stand out while looking natural.
But the option for something brighter as accessibility is a fine idea.

Freakin love Ice Planet.
I remember the Christmas where my mum *insisted* I open presents in a certain order, much to my frustration. But it made sense, because each Lego set was bigger than the last culminating in this bad boy.

There's a museum in Legends ZA in the North East. You should check it out.

Mable in Pokemon Legends ZA reminded me of someone and I couldn't figure out who for a bit.
And then I did. And I wish I didn't.

And yet even then they were betrayed.
Because 2 inches of fabric was added to some outfits, so it succumbed to wokeness 😢

I'm baffled when this happened.
I remember getting Pandemonium 2 and wondering why they decided to ruin Niki like that. These days it feels like it would be seen as an improvement, I guess.

And finished! Such attention to detail. The volume and contrast dials work, the power switch feels right, the little cart stand has a place to put the spare screens. The carts even slot in right with some friction as the clips grip it.

I didn't realise the screens were lenticular.
1 bag to go. Think it's the standard for the system.

More progress.
The design is really cool, the buttons and d-pad work, they move.
Also big props for them using printed pieces instead of stickers.
