I know, right? It’s honestly freaking cool! I do remember seeing the Lakitu but never went past that with my thoughts, lmfao. Good one Miyamoto, wow.

Yeah, I always thought it was just a goofy Miyamoto/Nintendo thing that was used to explain the switching of viewpoints.

I’ll always be a Nintendo lad, and a large part of it is because of Miyamoto.

Side note: I was one of those “weird” kids who used all his allowance money to buy Sega and Nintendo consoles. I think I still have every Nintendo, Sega, Sony, and Xbox console ever made - minus the PS5, and my original NES. Yes, I even have two Vitas (absolutely loved the OLED models - perfection, barring the memory card).

I was the same. I couldn’t afford the Sega 32x and CD at the time, but I did save up for the Saturn. I think the only console I didn’t buy post Atari 2600 was the Atari Jaguar. That thing had death written all over it. I was fortunate enough to be gifted a TurboGraphix-16 though, which still remains one of my favorites.

I think this is why I don’t get so bent out of shape about Console war stuff. To me, everything is going to be fine, so I refuse to worry about it.

Edit: I obviously couldn’t afford the Philips CDi , NeoGeo and the 3DO at the time either. It was probably for the best though. :smile:

Want to share some good news. I had a call with anti-smoking consultation today, we did an initial assessment and they told me it should be easier for a relapse of this kind, and gave me an appointment in a week’s time to start a hopefully lite program to quit. Wish me luck.

FFXIV has a keynote tonight at 8 pm. We can expect Xbox version to be discussed now that we’re in a new year.

I liked the part where he discussed Nintendo making a mobile app to play Gameboy games.

They would never do it but it would make a absolute fortune. Imagine downloading a Gameboy ‘app’ where you can buy all the games or a subscription (Nintendo online) containing them all.
