I received a package from Japan and it included these freebie bonus Pokeyman cards thrown into the packaging!
I don't know anything about these cards, but it's still really cool that they tossed these in!

I recently had the good fortune to interview the two developers who have made a #Nintendo emulator work on the #Playdate console - 'CrankBoy'

If you'd like to read my feature article I wrote, and then had the further good fortune on sharing on my friend @gardiner_bryant site, then please follow the link and tell me what you think!

I love the Playdate, it's one of the true oddities of #gaming in that it is so, so unique

Took a #Wii home from mom's house as they were clearing out a bunch of old stuff.
The Wii powered on, and while Wii Fit was the only disc I had, it did load it fine.

Unfortunately, a video cable wasn't in the bag of Wii stuff, and while I tried four new AA batteries in both of the balance boards I have, neither of them lit up when I hit the power button, which tells me they were stored with old AAs that leaked and corroded (a bit of powder/cruft in the battery compartment confirms this).

The Wiimote seems to be working, though (quick LED flash when I hit the center button).

This hardware has been sitting in the garage for no less than a decade.

Oh bother. I really don't want to pay $60 for a used balance board on fleabay, or $30 a pop for used discs.

Anybody know a good cheap source for Wii stuff? :D

littlejem has shared her competed King of Red Lions ship - and while it doesn't technically 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘭 (it motors!), its beautiful

#Zelda projects and builds are always happening, but this one is something special. Naturally there's a billion jokes about the #Nintendo ninjas creeping up on her

These things are my fave in #gaming - made with love!

Here's a link to the full build video by her on YouTube:

Funny seeing #Nintendo with their new patents filed for this odd #Switch 'crank' that just makes me think of the cute yellow #Playdate console!

"In the first embodiment, the crank features a rotary disc (#803), which is tracked by the mouse sensor (172) through a window (807). Two magnets (511 & 512) secure the attachment."

Interesting to see, at least

So, I visited Ankha and she told me that she was thinking about her "secret guilty pleasure!"

So, here's a Question of the Day: What is Ankha's "Secret Guilty Pleasure?"

Right answers, obviously wrong answers, all welcome!

Nintendo will raise the price of its original Switch console in the U.S. beginning Sunday, the company said Friday in a statement posted to its website. Nintendo attributed the changes to "market conditions.” https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/08/02/tech/nintendo-us-pricing-original-switch-hardware/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #nintendo #us #trade #tariffs #switch #videogames

Nintendo sold more than 6 million units of its Switch 2 console over its first seven weeks on sale, but kept its full-year forecast unchanged. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/08/01/companies/nintendo-switch-2-forecast-unchanged/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #nintendo #videogames

Yo! Today's #BandcampFriday. I don't have anything new, but try something you haven't heard from my #bandcamp, it sure would mean a lot!

(BTW, I'm moving part of @bloopmuseum to its new spot today, where I have more room to work on new #music!)

Since Mario Paint is back in the zeitgeist thanks to the Switch 2, I decided to boot up my old copy and see what I had saved on it.
Sadly it's blank, I'll have to replace the battery in this cart like I did the others 🥲
