I played Arrow Flash via the SEGA Channel when I was a kid, and I've barely read/heard a word about it since. Super excited to watch this one!

Kero Kero Cowboy is still one of my favorite games I've played this year, and I was all to happy to grab up a physical cart to put in my collection right beside the games that inspired it.

Thank you for making it! I hope the rest of 2025 & 2026 are good to you.

Apropos of nothing—I listened to this song & bought this album because of you. Glad I did. Have a good Friday. :)

I'd put Air Riders down for a few weeks to focus on my myriad of new/old Nintendo 64 games, but I went back for this eveNT AND MY GOD I LOVE AIR RIDERS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!

In terms of "Nintendo-published games that aren't celebrated much", I love Kirby's Star Stacker & Block Ball, The Frog for Whom the Bell Tolls, Balloon Kid, Mole Mania that I saw in your replies, and Tetris Attack.

I've often thought of just using a randomizer to pick my next title to try soon.

Popeye 2, Felix the Cat, the Adventure Island ports (2&3), Catrap, Adventures of Lolo (like double the levels for the PAL version), Tiny Toons: Babs' Big Break, Bomberman GB 3, Mega Man IV & V....hm.

I think that's everything not first party that comes to mind IMMEDIATELY, but. I'll discover more.

When I got Banjo-Kazooie as a belated birthday gift in 1998, I called it my "ticket to paradise", haha. I worked so hard, trying to 100% everything. But I eventually gave up, unable to get all 100 Notes in Click Clock Wood despite hours of trying.

Almost 30 years later, childhood me is VINDICATED.

I threw an apple between them, sewing chaos in the world of Pokémon.

Rather than post about beating Pokémon Snap on cartridge (for probably the 100th time over the years), here are my four highest scoring photos.

I love this game immensely, and I’m so glad it finally has a worthy sequel on Nintendo Switch.

DS and 3DS games are different. The specific kind of flash memory that 3DS games use are the same as the Wii U console—NAND. Look up the "Wii U NAND issue" if you haven't yet.

You will keep your 3DS games (and Wii U) alive, provided you check on 'em every now and then.

Run all your carts today and see what happens. If they're intact today, they'll be intact in June!

...or not! The flash memory on the cartridge is dead, lol. I've done a lot of science to try to save it, but I think I'm out of luck. Save data doesn't exist & cannot be written. We've thoroughly cleaned the contacts. I tried replacing what's on the cart with an emulator save using Joey64. No dice!

Physical 3DS cards work like the Wii U. As long as you boot them up once every six months or so, they should last a long time. It’s when you go years without touching them that they risk corruption.
