This is already all that remains of Piranha Plant Pipeline as it will never return to the rotation in Mario Kart Tour and isn't playable in any other Mario Kart game.

It's amazing how Fire Emblem continues to be less appealing to me with every release.

Miyamoto: Do you remember that old Mac game where you'd shoot cannons at each other in a windy area? You'd adjust nothing but the launch angle and power to hit the enemy artillery hiding behind rocks. …
But you just can't make a game like that when you have to worry about justifying a 9,800 yen price tag [for N64 cartridge manufacturing]. People look at a casual game like that and assume it can be made on a low budget, or that a rookie can handle it, or that if it's that simple, it could just be distributed via the Satellaview. Everything gets manufactured based entirely on price. Instead of opening up a playground for people to try out new ideas, everything has just become a conversation about cost.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2e7f2uvcguv4d5qxqnyjmk32/bafkreiddx56dmshzxkijb76qwikdbjblrhmj4jxqelihdhf4xgiduwsdue)

The Famicom launched 43 years ago today in Japan! To celebrate, we wanted to share this incredible Kirby’s Adventure commercial that was used to promote the game. While it’s believed that this ad heavily influenced Epic Yarn, there has never been a direct confirmation! 🧶
Love how Mario fans keep getting punished for buying Mario games when they release.
A new patent application shows Nintendo’s R&D in improving the D-pad pivoting. This is achieved by affixing a spherical ball (#33 in images below) below the directional pad (#31); the ball goes through a “restricting portion” (#64) that regulates pivoting, and sits on a concave support (#54). 1/
