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

Yeah, IIRC Cuomo's COVID update yesterday produced a statistic that the stay at home order in NYC is starting to have an effect. The expected growth of hospitalizations went from doubling every 2 days on Sunday to every 4.7 days by Tuesday.

Playboy Magazine is another victim of logistics disruptions caused by the Coronavirus. The print magazine is shutting down for the rest of 2020: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/03/playboy-magazine-is-closing-down-probably-for-good.html

Who was that guy on NA who posted pics with his N64 copy of Shadow Man? Is he here on VGS? I'm sure he'll be happy with this news: https://www.ign.com/articles/n64-favorite-shadow-man-remaster-announced-for-pc-ps4-xbox-one-and-nintendo-switch

Tom Hanks & his wife announced they contracted CoronaVirus. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/11/business/media/tom-hanks-coronavirus.html

It's growing increasingly likely E3 will be cancelled this year. With big devs gradually moving away from E3, this might be the death knell for the expo:
