Pour ceux qui d'entre vous ont une wiiU /3ds, il est grand temps de dumper vos données spotpass sur le spotpass archival project parce que les serveurs sont en trains d'être effacé. C'est la dernière limite maintenant :sadblob: #nintendo
Toutes les démarches y sont inscrites :blobcat_happy: car en fonction de l'appareil, la procédure pour télécharger et publier les données ne sont pas les mêmes.
Après, si besoin d'aide il y a aussi leur discord et si jamais je peux aider au cas où :blob_bolb:
Popie is a clone of the #Nintendo arcade game of Popeye, created for the #ZXSpectrum in 1984 and discovered on an old tape at Ocean Software by @MarkRJones1970. It was preserved by Mark in 2015, so you can play and check out the game for yourself:
@OutofPrintArchive Thanks so much! Glad you found it interesting. It's definitely an interesting topic and this was a passion project to explore it myself as much as anything else. 🙂
@OutofPrintArchive Yep! If it's region-free then it's region-free and it's a pretty simple mod to do. The quick-and-dirty way just requires bending one PIN. My PAL-A NES doesn't play PAL-B games but my French NES I bought recently plays both and I suspect a previous owner has done that mod. At least until all the French NES owners comment to tell me their NES was always region-free and that's why they don't say "European Version" on the cartridge flap and I have to issue a correction. 😛
@heyfluxay , still one if my favourite Nintendo games and fighters in general. Super easy to pick up, but the skill ceiling esp. competitive online is very high.
@hook the online lobby system was a blast too with friends, i definitely grinded my way up thru the online mode a bit, but then splatoon 2 came out and ate this games lunch a bit :(
@renwillis IIRC this character was always to some degree gender ambiguous, much like Birdo. That's kinda what gets my goose about these moral panics, this wasn’t an issue 20 years ago when the game came out, but because of culture war nonsense we have to deal with people getting upset that a minor character in a remake of a 20 year old spin off Mario game is explicitly made trans, who was never cis to begin with.
@konstantinosd I think what really helped killing it was all the safety guards added that made it non portable, a bit like the Wii U was limited to being tethered to something, and Switch solved that issue. The screen wasn't good but I think it would have done better if not for the other thing.
Back during the Wii, 3DS, and Wii U eras, Nintendo fans were constantly complaining about how Nintendo were selling old games on the VC individually and saying that they need to do a subscription service instead.
But now that they're doing that on the Switch, they're complaining about the subscription service and saying they should sell these old games individually again.
What do you even fucking want Nintendo fans, or do you just wanna complain?
@princessviola there were people asking for them to move to a subscription service??
that's just backwards af. Much of what I saw was that maybe prices could be better, but not so much of a push for a subscription service. In the long run that's gonna cost you more than paying for what you want once after all...
I have it on good authority that #Nintendo "Switch 2" (named the "Swipe") is a card-based console with a card reader built into the unit. The cards, once swiped, unlock access to: full games, wallpapers, avatars, DLC, and even apps like Hulu, YouTube, and Netflix. The Swipe will be released by the end of Q2 2025, alongside over 200 cards purchased separately in booster packs.
One of the neat things about this is that, if you still have old e-Reader cards, you can swipe them for fun extras.
For once the Nintendo store's "register your interest" thing worked for me as I've been able to preorder a copy of the Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition Deluxe Set that comes with all those cool extras and a physical version of the game of course.
Had so many instances in the past where I had registered my interest but then never got the follow up email and missed out on their limited editions. It's nice to have it finally work. #Nintendo
@SimonSays oh wow. I had no idea.
Just heard that the GameCenter CX game won’t be getting a western release as it’s way too niche to sell here. So I orders a Japanese copy.
Just watch another publisher pick it up any day now. 👀
#Nintendo has pulled out of #Twitter (or as Space Karen calls it, #X). Reasons are likely due to price hikes on the content-posting API, and the fact that the site is a political hellhole, or as this article describes... "Nazi-curious"
"With Nintendo’s departure, all three major console makers have pulled the plug on native screen-sharing to X."
(I am going to start using the understating euphemism "Nazi-Curious" now)
