And not just plain old niche uses, for that matter - as by then, several very controversial cartoons with the character will be PD, which will likely lead to indie artists using the Disney cast for VERY insensitive materials.

What's going to be worse for Disney? The score of NSFW cartoons that semi-creative people will generate with those AI tools, or seeing the American public domain of 2029, which will contain enough Mickey cartoons to open the door for all kinds of niche stuff being done with his cast of characters?

I wouldn't call Wizard of Oz a reevaluated flop, it was a pretty big box office success that was nominated for five Academy Awards and won three of those. It was just expensive to make and Hollywood in those days used creative accounting where under representing profit was in their interest.

Out of the hundreds of potential names your team came out with, you definitely made the right choice in selecting "DARK WING (DUCK)" as the character's final, official name.

And of course, these four new channels are accompanied by all of the legacy channels from the original NES, which are relegated here to playing new backup or accompaniment layers/melodies.
So, the NPCES has nine sound channels in total. Hence its sound being twice as rich as its counterpart's.

For the later Japanese games which used the DPCM for music originally (Super Mario Bros. 3, Konami's and Tecmo's games), a single ADPCM audio channel (working identically to those on the SNES) is activated and used for percussion tracks in those games.

Basslines are played on a 4-bit PCM wave sample channel, which is carried over from the original Game Boy and works identically to how it does on that handheld; and the DPCM sample channel from the original NES is now always used for percussion throughout nearly every soundtrack.

Well, since you brought up the sound chip, I might as well tell you my ideas for the NPCES concerning its audio processing unit.
On the NPCES, all lead melodies in games' music are played on two new high-fidelity FM synthesis channels, for which audio is provided by the Yamaha F262 chip.

Looks like the "home stretch" of this event is in sight...

I would rather have it be a live-action/animation hybrid, with the animated Wario attacking the live-action environment and Toad, also animated, chasing him around the scene to save the people from torture, while also fending off the various minions of Wario's that he encounters in the game.

Then just avoid their backlash like the plague!

One of the most important final battles in video games... recreated as a LEGO battleground. Very interesting!

Stupid or not, they WILL cast her to a celebrity anyway. Let's just hope it's one who fits her character.

Not the time, mister. The kids who visited Chuck E. Cheese's restaurants during his early years aren't even seniors themselves as of yet!

The crazy part is, in some cases you can't tell if the thumbnail is indeed AI-generated!

Or just edit the colors of the digital master to be authentic to the intended colors as seen in the original prints.

Excluding the absence of the chimes at the start, I don't hear any real difference between this and the more familiar version of the fanfare.
