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:​

Lunevirtuelle,

@Plumereine comment est-ce qu'on fait ça ?

@Lunevirtuelle Je ne sais pas si vous (tu?) parlez anglais, mais voici le site web du projet : spotpassarchive.github.io

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 arcade game of Popeye, created for the 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:

New video dropped and he's a long boy! The seldom-told history of and the in Europe. https://youtu.be/wBXNsZOAsAw

@bill
I just want to add that if anyone is hesitant about watching an 81 minute video, don’t be!
I’ve been watching it in bits and pieces today due to health issues and I have to say, this is a must watch for anyone interested in the NES in Europe.

I’m quite knowledgeable myself on the topic, and yet I’ve learned some fascinating facts today.

Brilliant piece of work!

@bill one thing that threw me off at first was how Pal B game were not compatible with Pal A consoles.
I have several French games myself as well as some small box German releases and they all work.

But then I remembered that decades ago,I had my NES modded so I could play games from the US.
So that has to be it. 😅

The game had its moments, and probably not as memorable as hoped, but this theme song SLAPS!

@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.

Too bad it did not get the love it deserved.

@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 :(

Ok I know it’s not The Thousand Year Door on the Switch, but I’m still enjoying it!

It's retro game of the week time once again, and once again I'm playing Pinball -- in this case, Super Pinball: Behind The Mask for the SNES.

What lurks behind the mask is... not great.

@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.

It is so fucking tiring.

It's possible to run Ubuntu 24.04 on a Nintendo Switch thanks to open-source community efforts https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/05/ubuntu-24-04-nintendo-switch

@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.

@Ten The game was originally meant to be a The Terminator game, believe it or not. Makes the music make more sense.

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...
