Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators.

Iwata on why programmers shouldn't just say "I can't", 1999.

#IwataQuote

www.notion.so/5dbdc86b5f16...
PEOPLE: - Satoru Iwata, age 39. President of HAL Laboratory. Later: President of Nintendo. QUOTE: Iwata: The moment a programmer says, “I can’t,” that idea dies. That’s why I say if you’re going to tell someone that something isn’t possible instead of just saying, “I can’t,” say, “If we do this, then we could do it” or “If we can get further with X, it would be possible.” I think that’s a principle that applies equally to any work actually. The people who actually think up the ideas for games—designers—often don’t understand programming very well, and it can be easy for programmers to use “we can’t do that” as a convenient excuse.

Osada on how echoes and reverb are driven in Tears of the Kingdom, 2024.

PEOPLE: - Junya Osada. Sound Programmer for Tears of the Kingdom. QUOTE: Osada: Whether it's the inside of a house or within a rock cave, you can represent the characteristics of that space with sound by correctly setting how the sounds reverberate or how long their echoes last. [In Tears of the Kingdom] we made it so the reverb parameters would be automatically calculated. Information such as room capacity based on the direction and distance of nearby walls, and sound absorption rate based on the material of the walls, is collected and used to calculate parameters using a formula called Eyring’s reverberation time equation.

As someone who values gameplay innovation above all, Donkey Kong Bananza is now my clear cut game of the year, over my previous Death Stranding 2 and the beautiful Expedition 33. What a great year for games regardless.

Review | ‘Donkey Kong Bananza’ is a smashing grab bag of classic Nintendo ideas
The Switch 2′s technology grants “Donkey Kong Bananza” destructible environments, in a perfect crystallization of Nintendo’s game design philosophy.

De l'importance des parcs ; avec le réchauffement climatique, les canicules seront non seulement plus fréquentes, mais plus longues. Les parcs ont déjà un rôle capital dans les villes - l'évasion et le liant social -, mais ils sont des lieux refuge, des îlots de fraîcheur dont on ne peut se passer.

[Switch 2]

Pre-orders will start in the US and Canada on Apr 24.

The price of the console and games will not be changing, but Nintendo will increase the price of accessories (US only). Prices may still change in the future.

Miyamoto on expending effort on the Zelda timeline, but not wanting to, 2011.

www.notion.so/95b5a4ce641c...
PEOPLE: - Shigeru Miyamoto, age 58. Creator of Zelda, Mario, & more. QUOTE: Miyamoto: The stories in The Legend of Zelda may not match up as the series progresses. We actually expend a lot of time trying to make them match up, though. It would make things a lot easier if the players said, ‘Oh, that doesn't really matter.’ [laughs] … Sometimes people ask whether Yoshi is a boy or a girl. If I answer, ‘Probably a boy,’ then they say, ‘So a boy is laying eggs?’ [laughs] … But the moment I say Yoshi lays eggs so Yoshi must be a girl, they'll say, ‘Then Yoshi's voice needs to sound more like a girl's!’ But I want to make video games without having to worry about such background info.

Okay lets game this out: You are a Nintendo employee given unlimited funds and authority to move Switch 2 production to the US. No new factories, that's going to take way too long, you need to work with existing American Contract Manufacturing capacity. How fast can you do it?
