After almost 28 years, Super Mario 64 has been beaten without using the A button in c/[email protected]

Pannenkoek does have a few videos documenting stars that can be beaten with No Joystick Allowed strats (these are old and there are more on the secondary UncommentatedPannen channel but I don't see a playlist compiling them). A full run is definitely not possible, but at least some stars are doable.

Many still are, but 70 star offers a lot of flexibility in routing to just pick the stars that are RTA-able.

I'm curious what the A count for RTA 120 could be. TAS is 13x, but humans will need more.

I really miss the keyboard on my old Motorola Droid 2. Still wasn't any good for gaming honestly, but it's way better for typing than a touchscreen.

Gamecube doesn't have enough RAM to preload everything at startup like that, you have to go through the menus and pick a game mode and map to load.

Surely if it needed that startup load anyway, then Sakurai wouldn't be saying he turned the license down in order to get players in the game faster. I'm going to trust Sakurai's word here!

Bear in mind that Kirby Air Ride came out in 2003, on a console that's only meant to be hooked up to CRTs. How many users back then do you think would've had access to this feature in the first place? Or would still be playing this game if/when they upgrade later?

Which game series had the worst anniversary celebration? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

Puyo Puyo. The three best games in the series were Puyo Puyo 15th Anniversary, Puyo Puyo 20th Anniversary, and Puyo Puyo Chronicle (25th in all but name). None of these games ever got released outside of Japan, but after the crossover did well overseas there were high hopes in the community we'd get a similar mainline game for the series' 30th anniversary.

I wrote a very long essay about how that didn't happen, and the state of the series ever since. And a more recent followup video on Sega's newest blunder.

Refusing to treat people with the barest minimum of respect is not a "personal opinion", it's behavior that no space should tolerate.

Yeah, the online being fake is appalling. Sega knew in advance that this game would be completely dead online, meaning no one's playing it. They knew what would happen and they took this deal anyway.
