Will start a little series here about me browsing this Club Nintendo issue from July 1995 (Nintendo Power in the US). 📖

I explicitly bought this one recently because I have so fond childhood memories. It must have been one of the few I owned and therefore read endless times. I still remember so much of the content and now I'm excited to refresh these memories.

The cover shows Asterix & Obelix, a PAL exclusive game series. 🐗

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

I have it on good authority that "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.

Decided to make this post as it might help people out when hunting for Nintendo carts and steer them clear from pirated ones.

The general rule of thumb is that every western Nintendo cart from the NES up to the N64 and GBA have 2 clear things to look out for.

An indented number in the label, either on the front or the back.
As well as an F(ront) or B(ack) in the plastic at the connectors.

A NES cart for example:

Details in the pictures.

the same rule applies for the front which will have an F, alongside a number.
On the back label of a NES cart you will find an number imprinted into the label.

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.

Random, uninformed thoughts on the Switch successor memory storage.

I think it would be cool if the handheld system had 256gb of storage. (Potentially pretty small for 4k games...)

But the DOCK had memory/memory expansion options too...

You could take select games with you on the go, have them all when you're home...and here's the kicker:

Someone singing the praise of Elevator Action, Pin.Bot and Gyruss deserves a heck of a lot more subscribers than he has right now. 😁

Was so excited to finally see a Lego Zelda set! Then I saw the price 😔 Put it right with the Mario block and Bowser set though. Hard for me to justify getting this!!

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore… BEAT! - Fun game! Campy af, but the combat is a blast! Goofy story, and the game had some minor annoyances, but it didn’t overstay its welcome.

Ultimately, a wonderful palette cleanser from Octopath Traveler 2 AND a perfect prep game for Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance next Friday.

Final score: B-

It took them a very long time, but Limited Run finally got both the regular Game Boy as well as the newly done Game Boy Color version of Trip World to me.

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