See, this is why the Global TAYkeover attempts always fall apart. No follow-through on any of the good plans.

I’m still looking forward to the official confirmation that FFVII Remake is going to call her “Aerith”. The internet is going to explode that day, and it will be glorious.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Listen. I’m not admitting that I’m deliberately sabotaging TAY’s plans for global domination strictly for my own amusement. But isn’t it really more about the journey than the destination anyway?

Hi ʓ! Having fun taking over the asylum for the weekend?

Horse God manages to be both hilarious and super creepy all at the same time. Although I think that the final Great Fairy armor upgrade animation actually takes the cake on this one.

I grew up loving Smart Ball. It was one of those games I rented from Blockbuster countless times, but never owned (until I stumbled across a used copy as an adult). At some point I learned that it was made by Game Freak, and it kind of blew my mind. Looking back, you can totally see it in some of the character designs…

Sure it would. Zelda 1 only has a handful of maps, where each map file is defined as a grid of 16 x 8 screens. The dungeons fit together because multiple dungeons all occupy the same map, and they wanted to use up as much space as possible with the limited map space they had (which, as explained in the article, was…

I’ve beaten the first quest countless times, but never finished the second. Maybe it’s time I changed that.

Also, something cool about Zelda 1 dungeon design- the dungeons fit together like puzzle pieces. There are a few gaps, but when you put them together the borders pretty much line up. It really gives you an idea…

Everybody was waifu fighting

I played ARMS at PAX South, and I agree with this 100%. The motion controls felt precise, and after just a few minutes I was not only finding the controls reliable but I began to realize that ARMS is a very technical game. The more I played the better I did, and I really felt like I was starting to get a feel for a…

There was a Mario game in the works, yes. There aren’t a lot of details beyond that known, though. Really, a lot of the info on the NPS is still a mystery, because neither company will talk about it.

Just for photos, it was on a table & plugged in for the presentation itself.

Fun story: I got to see the NPS in person earlier this week. They had it at a local gaming convention (Super BitCon in Oklahoma City), and mentioned the issue with running CD games. I got the impression that they were optimistic, but not that it was close to being solved. So it’s really cool that they’ve got it…

Not a bad idea, but if I’m going to be dressing like a Dragon Ball character there’s really only one outfit worth wearing.

The developers have even acknowledged that the game is full of little cheats and breaks. Using the physics engine to break certain puzzles is something they deliberately allow because it makes for a fun experience. There were a handful of shrines that I never really knew if I was completing the “right” way or if I had…

Was Start even part of the code? I’m pretty sure Start is just there to start the game. I guess it depends on whether or not pressing any other buttons resets the code (which I assume it doesn’t, since you can press Select after entering it). Making the code simply UUDDLRLRBA.

Look, I’m not saying you’re wrong. 2 is definitely the better game. But you can’t just include 2 on its own. The assumption is that a lot of kids are going to be playing these games for the first time, and as good as EQ2 is it also by nature of being a sequel spoils a lot of EQ1's ending (which is something everyone…
