Así se vio el último vuelo de la aerolínea Estadounidense de bajo costo Spirit Airlines. Sus últimas 6 horas luego de casi 34 años de operaciones. Cesó sus operaciones por problemas financieros.

Hello, everyone overseas.
This time, I’m going to introduce the development materials for the NES game *Metal Slider Glory*.
These are the actual tools used during development, and with just this single disk, you can create everything from pixel art to animations.

I'm one of the creators of the initial trilogy.
30 years have passed — it feels both long and short.
Those early works have become classics.
Yet a work isn't finished when completed; it keeps growing within the people who receive it.
They've grown in their own ways. Thank you! 😊

Shigeru Miyamoto told the story of how Donald Glover became Yoshi!

He said Donald Glover really wanted to be in the Mario Movie and said he’ll even play Yoshi. They responded “You know Yoshi only says ‘Yoshi’, right”. Donald Glover said something like “I can do 20 different types of ‘Yoshi’”.

He said there isn’t a Japanese VA for Yoshi as they decided that Donald Glover can be Yoshi in all versions of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie around the world.

Uniracers is a technical marvel, maintaining its speed when most other SNES games would start chugging.
It's also a fascinating story.
In 1994 shortly after the game launched, Pixar of all companies sued DMA Design, claiming the Unicycles ripped off their 1987 short Red's Dream.

Pixar ultimately won (or the publisher, Nintendo settled) and the game was ordered to cease production after only 300,000 copies were made. Pixar had a point, the Unicycles looked similar. They're also unicycles. Once you animate those, there's not many differences that will happen.

Interestingly enough, this whole legal debacle was a shift in direction for the Lemmings developer. Uniracers was their pitch and Nintendo loved it. If Pixar hadn't pulled the rug out from under them, they would have their own pillar under Nintendo's flag.

Without Uniracers, DMA had to start over without their family-friendly franchise. Nintendo wanted them on the Ultra 64, but it soon became clear to both companies that only one of them was interested in making a cute N64 mascot.
Body Harvest is a little tale on its own, but the funniest part of the story is how DMA Design started working on this small PC game called Race n' Chase at the same time.

DMA Design released Grand Theft Auto in 1997, rebranding into Rockstar North after releasing GTA 3.

If Pixar hadn't done a Disney, we might be Uniracing in Mario Kart World right now.
Meanwhile #GrandTheftAuto might be nothing more than a spark in David Jones' eye.
Probably not, but it's fascinating speculation.

Also this game is dope.

Random, silly post. But I just realized something…..

Taco Bell predicted the Galaxy Movie in 1997! LOL!! 🌮🤣🦊

Ann thinks Mario looks like a young Randy, whoever that is!

Digital Foundry says the Link's Awakening Remake and Echoes of Wisdom are like free remasters on Switch 2.

- Locked 60 frames per second
- Resolution increases from 720p up to 1620p
- One of the most impressive upgrades moving from Switch 1 to Switch 2

You won't be able to transfer Switch to Switch 2 without a factory reset if you skip the option during setup https://t.co/KQuSHU0pmS

Just learned that Drew Struzan can no longer paint anymore, as his Alzheimer's has progressed. What an incredible legacy that captured every generation...

Apparently one GameStop store used a stapler to attach receipts to Switch 2 boxes and the staple ruined the screen...another person commented their unit and others were affected at the same store https://t.co/3eMGSUVnT6

The nostalgia hits hard.

Good memories.

Recently realized I no longer own Minecraft because I didn't merge my Mojang account to my Microsoft account.

Bought it 15 years ago, and they un-purchased it from me. I don't understand how this kinda thing is even legal.

It's Monday 10am in Japan where Japanese game stocks currently react to these insultingly dumb tariffs like so:

Nintendo -7.35%
Sony -10.16%
Bandai Namco -7.03%
Konami -3.93%
Sega -6.57%
Koei Tecmo -5.83%
Capcom -7.13%
Square Enix -5.23%

The mobile game companies do even worse.
