Thanks to Nintendo Labo, I already have a Virtual Boy compatible cardboard version, but I'm looking forward to getting the new VB system from Nintendo too!
Usually R.O.B. uses this one anyhow.

40 years ago today, Super Mario Bros. released on the Famicom in Japan.

It's not easy finding articles on the original Super Mario Bros. as there weren't a lot of magazines around at this time, but I did find a nice one.

Well folks, YouTube's mighty algorithm has decided that it's not going to recommend my last video to anyone for some reason. If you haven't seen it yet (and the numbers say most of you haven't!) please give it a look and recommend it to soem friends! Or enemies! Whatever! Reposting would be great, too!

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:
