True, but I'd bet a lot of those games require a Day 1 patch to get them to a usable state. I think are putting the cart before the horse with the clock battery issue. Sony could always EOL patch out the clock battery requirement or custom firmware hacks could be created.

I think it's easier to think of NFTs in terms of trading cards. If you own a 1-out-of-10 foil card of Pikachu, you don't own the image or have any rights to the IP, but you do own a physical object bearing the image that happens to be limited to 10 copies. NFTs are basically digital trading cards that can encapsulate other digital media. How many NFTs exist for a digital object is up to the person creating and selling them.

Happy Birthday @Pendragonx!

Nope, you don't get the trademark or copyright to the digital item. All you essentially own is the code in a blockchain, but not the actual contents. Really all it serves is a proof of authenticity. An artist could create a unique NFT of digital art, right-click copy the artwork, and spread exact copies of the image all over the Internet. In theory, that NFT of the digital art still has worth because it's "authentic".

I stumbled upon this Twitter thread this morning; a sharp-eared listener noticed buried within a 90 minute interview with Adam Conover (Adam Ruins Everything), he briefly discusses an anecdote of how Nintendo abruptly cancelled the live-action Legend of Zelda Netflix series as well as a Claymation Star Fox series in development by CollegeHumor due to someone at Netflix leaking news about development of the Zelda series. Amazing how deals like this can fall apart so easily. The world was denied (or spared depending on your POV) a live-action Zelda series because someone at Netflix jumped

A few months ago, a SNES modder by the handle of Gizaha discovered while reverse-engineering the game's source code a convoluted sequence of steps that would unlock a playable version of Shin Akuma. The steps you need to take are: Beat arcade mode on any difficulty and earn enough points to score at the top of the leaderboard Enter the initials KAJ When you return back to the title screen, choose Arcade or Versus mode while holding down L+X+Y+Start on the player 2 controller until the character select screen appears Highlight Akuma at the character select screen, hold d

IIRC, Gamestop started selling homebrew and multi-cart games about a year ago.

No word yet that I'm aware of, however I'd expect it by the fall to coincide with holiday shopping.

Walmart is selling a Switch Pro Controller + Digital Download of Super Mario Odyssey for $70: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Nintendo-Switch-Pro-Controller-with-Super-Mario-Odyssey-Full-Game-Download-Code/925436036?irgwc=1&sourceid=imp_zz03HFUJWxyOTIWwUx0Mo38TUkEwaRTVUwOUSs0&veh=aff&wmlspartner=imp_312361&clickid=zz03HFUJWxyOTIWwUx0Mo38TUkEwaRTVUwOUSs0&sharedid=&ad_id=612734&campaign_id=9383

Man I was really hoping Nintendo would learn from the Amiibo and NES Mini fiascos and provide consumers with a normal pre-order process. Instead I was rushing onto Best Buy's website to secure a unit as soon as I woke up this morning. All the while my mood towards Nintendo was pretty much this:

Pretty damn awesome that they're reprinting two of the expansions along with the base game.

Did you skim over my post? Because I never said Top Player's Golf was Big Tournament Golf and I provided the most likely reason why Neo Turf Masters isn't included on this mini-cab.

Augusta National Golf Club objected to the name, as they own the "Masters" trademark. That's why the Hamster port of Neo Turf Masters on the Switch was patched to use the Japanese arcade title. https://www.resetera.com/threads/what-the-heck-is-going-on-with-neo-turf-masters.135837/#post-23730420 I guess they didn't want to put in the time/effort patching the english rom to update the arcade title.

Multiple outlets in the gaming industry are reporting that Nintendo is planning on releasing HD ports of Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Galaxy, & Mario 3D World are getting the Switch HD port treatment. These re-releases are to drum up hype for a new entry in the Paper Mario series.

Yeah, I've been doing similar things. I guess there is a video going around Facebook that has been spreading mis-information about food safety wrt Coronavirus. I came across this Twitter thread by a food microbiologist debunking the assertions made in the video with his own recommendations. If you don't want to read the whole thread, his main recommendations are: Minimize the time you spend in supermarkets Practice social distancing while there Wash/Sanitize your hands after handling groceries/before you eat So not too much more over the standard food cleanliness/preparat
