I'm just crossing my fingers that they offer a new docking station that gives the switch some extra juice. I know that's not more than wishful thinking, because in the history of console gaming I'm really hard-pressed to think of an example a hardware upgrade add-on was anything but a failure.

N64 expansion pack?

The Sega CD wouldn't have failed if Sega had made more FMV games. I still want Sewer Shark 2, dammit! Nyaa

[eurogamer.net]Microsoft's Buyout of Zenimax/Bethesda Approved in EU and US But what about Australia?

Nobody cares about Australia.

On an unrelated note, we are currently watching Snowpiercer, a series about a perpetually running train that holds the last 3000 survivors of mankind after the earth is turned into a frozen wasteland.  In the first episode they're discussing their future and this one block decries "I'm the last Australian!"  That cracked me up.  Being the last surviving member of something and being aware of that must take its toll.

Maybe. I don't really know what the attach rate was for it. I remember it being bundled with donkey Kong 64, and you needed it for Majora's Mask and perfect dark, so it probably moved a couple million units.

Oh my god the Astrazenaca vaccine, knocked me out last night. Had chills and such bad muscle pain the night was a living nightmare. Now I have all the side effects on the leaflet. It feels like getting covid again. I have a fever, I'm coughing up green shit. My heart rate is insane and every part of my body aches. I hope its worth it.

Majora's Mask's sales figures translate to an attach rate of 10%.  As the game required the expansion pack, it's attach rate is at least equal to that.

Why are you taking the vaccine so soon after you've had the virus itself? You should be immune from infection for awhile yet. Uneasy

I hope you improve soon, though.

Well you can officially add one person above that 10% attach rate. I got one of those expansion packs but never purchased Majora’s Mask. I can’t really recall where I got it. I want to say Perfect Dark as I never got Donkey Kong 64 either.

Okay so if the N64 is all around 35 million units, we can assume maybe 4 to 5 million expansion paks?? Not bad I guess. Not exactly a homerun though.

Sounds about right. It was a pack in with DK64 as well. I ended up with three of them.

I think they'll have them work on their own IP's first, with some being full exclusives.  Just to rub it in.

Okay, I have sort of found a hardware accessory that was successful. The Motion Plus adapter for the Wii. It's all over a million units during the first month it was out. And while I can't exactly track down reliable sales data, Wii Sports Resort sold 33 million copies and required motion plus. I know eventually the technology was built into later wimotes, but I think we can assume at least half of those sport resort purchases used the adapter. And I'm sure some households got more than one. So we can maybe estimate 15 to 20 million?

anyway, that I'll literally means nothing since it's pure speculation, but it gives me a tiny bit more hope that there may be an adapter for the current docking station.

I am so excited for the TMNT game! I wish the art was better, the OG arcade looked better but I'll take more. I though Streets of Rage 4 was one of the best games of last year, can't wait to see what they do with TMNT.

So very happy to see a new TMNT game coming. Great to see it going with the original ‘87 cartoon aesthetic as that has been my favourite. Really dig the pixelated artwork look. The Arcade Game and Turtles in Time are my two favourites in the franchise so I’m happy to see them going that route. Hope that the music can deliver the goods, those other two games had some kick ass tracks. Going to play The Arcade Game to celebrate this news.

It's from the same publisher, not the same developer.

Took 24 hours for the symptoms to subside. Now I just have tender biceps wtf. And coughing, higher than usual temperature.

Makes sense money wise as well. Lets hope this turns out more like Mojang and less like Rare.
