With how effective Denuvo is as a deterrent against PC cracking and Nintendo’s long-standing issue with Switch emulation, why isn’t Denuvo simply on every single game? It’s there sometimes but it’s not as used as PC publishers.

A post I made a while back was talking about how I think galaxy was the best Mario game. And while I do think it’s the best 3-D one my opinion has shifted. I had an urge to play some 2D Mario and I realized I hadn’t played Mario wonder since it first came out three years ago, and I remembered loving it. I just picked it up again and all those memories came flooding back and I’m remembering how peak this game truly is. The controls are perfected. They’re not too sensitive like Mario world but they’re not too stiff like three. The personality is off the charts and the power ups are incredible. You also have the most playable characters in a Mario game by far which each one has unique little animations. Plus the badges make the game extremely customizable and you can absolutely make some insane plays with them. The only problem is the bosses but frankly, I think they’re overhated. I don’t play Mario games for the bosses anyways. I told myself a while back. That I was going to try and get every first party switch 2 game. And while I think I didn’t do the greatest on that front I think I have most of them, though I never got Bellabelle Park. After this play through I’m probably going to get it because this game is so peak.

What is going on with this? It’s been years at this point. Has there been anything at all said about this?

It’s ridiculous that they still to this day don’t have the same roster of games from the Wii U virtual console eshop. Where’s Ogre Battle 64? Donkey Kong 64? Diddy Kong racing? There’s so many games missing to this day.

The only things I'm missing is a handful of the post-game costumes and Rank 50 on Luigi's Balloon World, but to prevent burnout, I'm probably just gonna chip away at that from time to time. It's not REQUIRED for 100% completion anyway.

Otherwise, I have everything else.

I had replayed Mario Odyssey a few times in the past, but it was mainly just speedruns and that was it. This time, however, I took my time and played the base game at my own pace, picking any Power Moons or Regional Coins I found along the way.

After this replay, this game has cemented itself as one of my favorite games of all time, if not my favorite. With all the negativity in the gaming bubble online right now, [especially on the Nintendo front] this game reminded why I love Mario. It reminded me why I love Nintendo. It reminded how much I love the GAMING INDUSTRY.

Call it corny, but I damn near teared up during the final cutscene.

Expect this app to send your facial data to Nintendo servers and add you to a database.

I trust no company playfully asking you to turn on your camera and point it at your loved ones.

Remember, Pokemon Go was just a vessel for tracking your every movement so Niantic could sell that information to advertisers.

A nice retrospective from Nintendo Life about the first New Super Mario Bros game on Nintendo DS. I can't believe it's already been 20 years since then...

On this day (May 19) in Nintendo history...
