Genuinely disappointed Perfect Dark was cancelled.
It’s such a shame a game can get so far into development and end up being canned.

Another extra long Mega Man analysis coming up.
Mega Man 7 had so many mechanic shifts, I couldn't resist. Hopefully this will be ready sometime tomorrow!

Finished another Mega Man Analysis video, wrapping up the NES games with 6.

That’s nearly 13 hours of game design.

Polygon too?
Another rough day for gaming outlets. It’s a shame, there’s so much talent flowing through these sites. I know the internet loves to dunk on “games media” - but it’s no different from your favorite YouTuber.
I wish everyone at Giant Bomb and Polygon the best.

Nintendo has cancelled the Switch 2 in response to preorder frenzy.
"Your vulgar appetites betray you," said company president Furukawa, "That you are a people without grace. We will await a new era."
At press time, Nintendo's headquarters in Kyoto and Redmond had vanished from the face of earth.

Lots of thoughts and a breakdown on some of the mechanics that had to change to make the charge shot viable for Mega Man 4.
