Hi, Tw*tter refugees and new people!

I'm Stu. I mostly post about Nintendo, but I play a lot of older games for multiple consoles going back as far as the 80s.
I also seem to be a big fan of sequels going by some of my favourite games listed below. Always looking for others to chat and game with 🎮

Piranha Plants in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door are the sleepiest creatures in the game, with some of their subtypes being up to 110% sleepy. This may be a reference to the famously sleepy Piranha Plants from Super Mario 64.

I'm doing more dex completion on Omega Ruby and wondered why the camera zoomed in on. Nurse Joy. Turns out my starter caught Pokérus! I've only caught it natively a couple of times over the years so this was an unexpected surprise 😊

"Fresh", sealed copies of Super Mario RPG actually have a unique title screen. This screen is lost permanently on that cartridge after playing and saving just once, and can not be restored without tinkering with the cartridge or waiting decades for the save battery to run out.

It only took 11 years, but I finally used Pokémon Bank for the first time! I never gave my copy of Omega Ruby a huge amount of love, so earlier I used Bank to transfer everything from my Pokémon X file across. I'm not a million miles away from completing the Pokédex and getting the shiny charm ✨️

I just completed what appears to be the penultimate stage in Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure. There was some clever puzzle design but I had to do it about 8 times because it was very unforgiving if you didn't do things in exactly the right way, and there was a lot to do.

26) F-Zero X
F-Zero GX improved on this in every way, but this is still a very tight racer that'll really test your reaction times and control. It feels very daunting at first, but once you realise how to conserve your momentum you suddenly start zipping past opponents. Addictive and still holds up.

All good 🤗

Preach 🙌 Arguably my favourite game of all time. I'm hoping it still holds up as well when my copy arrives.

I played a couple more stages on Zack and Wiki. It's nice when you find the little Capcom collectibles in the stages 😊

You can be 35, wake up, make a bowl of coco pops, get right back into bed and watch The Office while eating coco pops.

Don't let anyone tell you that can't do that 😤

I'm getting surprisingly excited about Mario Galaxy 2 releasing this week. I could play it right now on my Wii, but playing one of my favourite games of all time in 4k and the option to play in handheld mode is just awesome 😊

They're all really nice shinies 😊 I've seen so many Dunsparce this week that one eventually had to be shiny ✨️

Stu @banjokastuey.bsky.social · 28d

Yeah, I found May in particular to be quite annoying and mansplainy. Dr Hakim more than made up for the protagonists though 📕🌹

Stu @banjokastuey.bsky.social · 28d

Today was a good day for shinies ✨️✨️✨️ #PokemonGo
