control all 3 Links at once, you had to constantly switch between them individually using the touch screen and it made things way more awkward.
Great multiplayer adventure, a little disappointing if you played alone

In 2015 The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes released on 3DS!

This entry saw 3 Links co-operate in a multiplayer focused adventure where you cleared puzzles and levels by working together
The single player aspect was the let down as rather than implement Four Swords Adventures formations to

Luigi's Mansion is coming to Nintendo Classics next week!
This means the entire series (not including the arcade one) will be playable on Switch 2!
The first entry still has the most memorable and charming ghosts and is a short and sweet adventure

Finally, 2011 saw SpeedThru: Potzol's Puzzle release on the 3DS eshop
This title was a puzzle game where you guide blocks through holes in the wall. It was a pretty fun eshop title and I enjoyed my time with it

effort release and an excuse not to put it up on Virtual Console to avoid pricing it the same as other SNES titles

2010 saw Super Mario All-Stars - 25th Anniversary Edition release on Wii
If you think Mario Anniversaries are bad these days then you missed them slapping an SNES ROM onto a Wii disc and calling it a day. All-Stars is a fantastic compilation of the first 4 Mario titles but this really was a low

plays a bit better and smoother than Goldeneye even though it lives in its shadow
Also cool to see this on here as it points to Nintendo handling publishing for the original which helps with me making sure my lists are up to date

2000 saw Perfect Dark release on N64!
Kinda funny seeing the EU release date being earlier for a change
This was Rare's follow up to Goldeneye using an original IP and building are world following Joanna Dark, an agent tasked to stop an extraterrestrial conspiracy from a rival company. It actually

1998 saw Tetris DX release on the Game Boy!
This is an enhanced "DX" release that plays on both GB and GBC but features full colour on the GBC. There're a couple of new modes iirc but otherwise it's mostly Tetris in colour

1998 had Wario Land II on the Game Boy!
This is where Wario Land really brought out its own identity with Wario being invincible and getting different wacky power ups from things he collides with. It's a 2D platformer with more an exploration feel to it and it's great

1992 had Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins on Game Boy!
This takes more of a Mario World approach with its world map and I absolutely adore its world themes like the Toy Zone and Space Zone. Really good and unique feeling 2D Mario

An absolutely packed day in Nintendo releases through the years today!
1986 had Pro Wrestling on the NES
I haven't played much of it unfortunately. I think I just tested if my cartridge worked, had no idea how it worked and put it into the collection

Still, nice to finally get another Metroid soundtrack on there and that's my least favourite out the way so it's all up from here!

It's Nintendo Music Tuesday!
This week sees Metroid II: Return of Samus added to the service

Aside from the main SR388 Theme and the credits music... I'm not a huge fan of this soundtrack. It is pretty ambitious at trying to do an atmospheric soundtrack on the Game Boy but a lot of the soundfonts

Y’all have GOT to stop uncritically sharing Stealth’s posts without checking your sources!

I can’t find a source for when and where Miyamoto supposedly said this or who translated it ANYWHERE and yet my timeline is flooded with takes on it.

believe any differently now that they've jumped onto the false information

will 💙💚 @wiill64.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah this type of stuff is really frustrating.
Nobody tries to figure out if the information is true or not anymore, they just jump onto something if it fits their confirmation bias and use it to bash things with. It just makes engaging in any conversation feel pointless because people won't

Joe Merrick @joemerrick.bsky.social · 2d

We know now this is utter nonsense but this is indicative of the massive problem that exists in regards to Pokémon, and Nintendo in general.

People post without context and/or knowledge and it spreads, and spreads and people just assume. This has 127k likes...

This is wrong.

Lucina, Melia, and shared struggles.

Is this something.

#XenoEmblem #Xenoblade #FireEmblem #art

Lucina (ルキナ) from the Fire Emblem series is hugging Melia Antiqua (メリア・エンシェント) from the Xenoblade Chronicles series. There is a tear streaming down her face as she rests her head on Melia's shoulder, while Melia has one hand on the back of Lucina's head. There is a purple-to-orange gradient in the background.

In 2023 Super Mario Bros. Wonder released on Switch
A welcome and fresh return to 2D Mario after the "New" era where Wonder Seeds alter levels in fascinating ways. So many new and fun ideas were incorporated into this to make it the best 2D Mario in a long time, though the boss battles were a bit

2016 saw Mario Party: Star Rush release on 3DS
I'll be honest, this was the point where they were chucking Mario Parties onto the 3DS at random and I don't remember playing much of this one at all
