So I got Dreams, its still in beta but its basically the full game minus the campaign. So far most of the user made content is just weird shit. One level was this strange museum with weird naked statues. another game you are a cook and you throw shit at armies of chocolate bars. Animation is mostly awful, it all feels like bad string puppets. It will improve as I played one level where you conrtol a little Pug that moves like mario with wall jump, butt stomp and the ability to swim. Not floaty at all. The potential is there.
I am going through tutorials of which there are a million, its a full game editor, its insane.
Yeah. LBP taught me that I don't really like making my own games and rarely enjoy other fan made games. Mario Maker largely reinforced that, despite being far easier to use. That said, I'm happy the concept is continuing to evolve for the people who do like it. God knows my kid will be over the moon once it comes out.
I'm currently babysitting my 3 nephews I brought the wii u and Mario 3d world. This is hilarious. Seeing how games can make kids so happy and insane. Kinda magical and hilarious too as they are mostly terrible yet the game doesn't penalise them that much. Nintendo. Really great how games like this can bring people together. I may have to get some more joycons for 4 player Mario kart.
Seeing these three geniuses All trying to get yellow exclamation squares on the circus level 😂
the youngest kept pressing the jump button continuously so they couldn't get the tiles all the same colour. They kept stealing the Royal crown you get when you finish the last level first. Then one cried when he missed the bell and couldn't be the cat. The one playing as rosalina got a fire flower and her dress turned red. He was happy with the new costume, then when I told him he could throw fireballs... He made this noise and his face looked like he just wanted to BURN everything 😂 none of them know how to even run yet. The eldest runs ahead and the other two turn into bubbles and they can't work out how to pop them. There was a point where a bomb partially blew up a wall. They thought it was a secret area when I knew there was just a stamp there. These geniuses all piled in behind the wall and yelled SECRET AREA!!! Then sat there like plums for 2 minutes behind a wall with nothing happening.
I've got a HDD for my wii u and I've been downloading a couple of my old games like 101. What the hell is going on with switch and wii u when you have external storage? On switch my SD card is full but I've still got 20 gig free on the actual console but then it won't download any more games because it says that the SD card is full. It won't let me just choose where to actually download the game onto. On way wii u it wouldn't let me specify that I wanted the games downloaded onto the hard drive. So had to Move games from the Wii U onto the external hard drive and then download the new games onto the Wii U directly and then shift them across to the hard drive later. Massive pain in the ass.
Lets all take a moment to think about all the great and weird gizmo's this lineage has provided us with.
I think my favorites would be the magnifying glass/lamp accessory that allowed you to play the original Gameboy in the dark. I also had some kind of beefed up speakers you could slot over the bottom end and required extra batteries.
Other notable 'innovations': The rumble cart on the Gameboy Colour game Pokémon Pinball, and that weird game about beating vampires that required you to actually play it outside in the sun, where the screen wouldn't be able to cope with all the light and you couldn't make anything out.
Also: original GBA screen being darker than originally promised to developers, making it so that all release games were so dark you could hardly see any detail.
Ahhh the good ole Gameboy. The very first system I actually saved up in purchased with my own money.
When I actually purchased it, I had been doing kind of poorly in school and my parents started limiting how much I could play video games. With the gameboy, that was really easy for them. My mom kept it in a cabinet where she kept a ton of potpourri scented things for the holidays. I would get to use it on occasion, but for the most part it stayed in that cabinet for about 2 months.
When summer came around and I finally got it back, it pretty much had that same clove in spice smell attached to it. That smell lingered on the Gameboy for the next two years.
Forget gameboy I remember trying the Atari lynx at a friend's house. The screen was so tiny compared to this giant device. I think the batteries ran out after 2 hours or something 😅

I owned a Lynx (smaller model 2) back in the day, and loved it. So many great arcade ports like Stun Runner, Toki, Rampart, Ms Pac-man, Qix, etc.

Speaking of fan made creations
The official Nintendo Switch app is packed with penises thanks to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate stage creators
Mushroom kingdom.
Why? Because Nintendo just released a stage maker for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and of course people are drawing dicks on them
Wonder why?
That’s some really good wholesome family fun right there. 😂
The magic of Nintendo bringing people together, or the magic of Nintendo bringing penises together?
A father's no shield
for his child.
We are like a lot of wild
spiders crying together,
but without tears.

Metroid 2 on Gameboy was great. I also had TMNT, Tetris (of course), a bunch of Mario’s and a tough Castlevania game.
