Metroid Prime 4: Beyond delivers the series' trademark gameplay - but one very annoying addition might derail the whole thing:

So the biggest Nintendo news for me this week didn't come from the Nintendo Direct - it came from a recommended video on Youtube posted by @kevinhainline.bsky.social finally putting closure to the whole Chris Houlihan debacle in LttP 🤯

Is it just me, or does the hold music for so many call centers sound like a lost @davidwise.bsky.social DKC track? 🍌

Great vid on one of my favorite overlooked Gameboy games. Come for the thoughtful analysis, stay for the hole jokes 🕳️ 🕳️ 🕳️
It's been two years but I finally made a new youtube video! it starts as a review of game boy cult classic Mole Mania and spins out into an examination of how fandom discourse shapes the way we understand video game history (it also contains a lot of "hole" jokes)

Did Koji Kondo accidentally compose the same melody twice? Or was he inspired by a city pop track from 1982? Or were they both doing a riff on Chopin?
Was the Zelda Fairy Fountain Music Inspired by a Track From Super Mario Bros. 3? — Thrilling Tales of Old Video Games
You too can learn about cultural inspiration, homage and imitation through the history of a Koji Kondo composition.

FINALLY beat Wario Land on Virtual Boy 😤 The final boss was very annoying and took many attempts 😮💨

On a similar note, you don't have to 💯 every game. So many friends I know have a bldt playing a game until they hit lategame sidequests or trophies and it sucks all the fun and joy out of the experience. Saved before the final dungeon/last boss? Go get that sucker and let the credits roll 😎
my advice to you is that if you're not enjoying playing a video game, stop playing it!
it's so surreal how people talk about games that they hate as if they had a compulsion to see that game to the finish line like it was holding them at gunpoint or something
you can just stop playing it!

I was talking to my friend who also played FF7 at launch about the pronunciation of Cait Sith and the controversy surrounding it with FF7R, and after hearing the correct pronunciation, he says, "So it's pronounced cat 💩?!" and now I can't unhear it. 🤡

I am very happy to report that @retrofrog.bsky.social inline USB-C power switch solves a major issue with the #AnaloguePocket dock, specifically the "always on" nature of the dock that keeps HDMI powered on and confuses HDMI autoswitches
Switched USB-C to USB-C for MiSTer Pi (Taki Udon Retro Remake)
This is a USB-C to USB-C adapter for the MiSTer Pi console with built in switch. This is specifically for the RetroRemake MiSTer Pi as it requires USB-C power. This isn't for the original DE10-nano or QMTech boards as they take 5v barrel power. See my other listing for adapters for those. I have designed this adapter

I adore FFVII but FFVI is the game that really got me into RPG's and one of my favorite games of all time. I'd love to see this done, if handled well! (Just no FFIV: The After Years, please! 😅)

Is there anyone in the #MiSTerFPGA community that could add a @rumbleminze.bsky.social / infidelity updater script that keeps all those beautiful NES-to-SNES conversations up-to-date with the latest version? Would love to see it! 😍 🙏

I would love to see @jon.gvg.io revisit Labo VR and all the games that supported it, since it likely won't be supported on Switch 2 and we may never get a Labo VR2. Or seeing the @gvg.io gang revisit Labo in general!
That message about not everything being backwards compatible is probably very very very minor
