Nintendo Patent Looks Like A Giant Shitpost
25.5.2021
On June 5, 1997, Nintendo filed a patent titled “Video game system and method with enhanced three-dimensional character and background control due to environmental conditions.” I can’t even begin to parse what the heck that means on a technical level, but what I do know is that the document’s...

Half-Life: Alyx Almost Had Enemies Who Reacted When You Flipped Them Off
21.5.2021
Hands. You wouldn’t have human civilization without them, meaning you wouldn’t have video games, either. Or, like, houses. But even though hands are front and center in many games, we don’t talk about them all that often. On this week’s episode of Splitscreen, we stop keeping hands at arm’s length....
What Gaming Was Like The Last Time Cicadas Emerged, 17 Years Ago
21.5.2021
You may know them as Brood X, or Brood 10, or the Great Eastern Brood. To most people, they’re periodical cicadas—insatiable insects that emerge from subterranean slumber every 17 years for the sole purpose of fucking each other to smithereens.

New Zelda Amiibo Has An Unfair Special Power
19.5.2021
Amiibo granting special powers in a Nintendo game is nothing new, it’s half the point of the things existing, but normally those powers are fairly tame, or simply shower the player in gifts. This new Skyward Sword HD one though is very disappointing, because it bestows an ability that all players...

I’d pay to watch real golfers do that.Read...

These Famicom Detective Club Games Have Aged Surprisingly Well
14.5.2021
There’s nothing about the art, animation, voice work, or music of Nintendo’s new Famicom Detective Club games that betray their origin as a pair of Japan-exclusive Family Computer Disk System adventures from the late 1980s. The dated gameplay, however, is a dead giveaway. Read more
