the giant wiimote and balance board games would be really fun on a date in an arcade

Apparently the game wasnât going to charge for new characters and instead release them for free like Suicide Squad. And I guess it would try to get continuous income through DLC skins, like Suicide Squad. Is Concord the Suicide Squad of FPSes.
it is because both of them are dead on arrival

wasnât that the Tecmo bemu with Kasoomee 
at least Suicide Squad understands that itâs always cool to punch enemies into the air and shoot them
I cannot imagine being the money man in 202X and going âyes, the extra money weâll spend acquiring CRTs for the floor, in storage for backup, the extra buildout for mounting or placing them on the floor and the extra power they require will outweigh the laypersonâs ability to perceive differences in look and feel on approved, tested modern displaysâ
hell, the Smithsonian didnât have CRTs for most of their playable games back when they did their game exhibit, those were on projectors (which Iâm going to go ahead and say that those are objectively worse than a best-in-class LCD w/r/t input latency), which is funny because that was hosted at the SAAM, where you could walk around a few minutes and see two different Nam June Pak pieces made up of 50+ CRTs apiece

iâm kind of nitpicking for the sake of nitpicking, but also because i think a videogame company that is building a videogame museum should be held to a higher standard than other institutions that have had game exhibits (iâm remembering many years ago when MoMA did its first game exhibit and it was just games running behind glass, completely non-interactive). i guess iâm thinking like, as someone who has some degree of experience in building out and conceptualizing experiential public game exhibitions, if i were the curator of the Nintendo Museum (is there even one? maybe not!), these are the details iâd be thinking about.
like i wouldnât say i have a James Turrell exhibit at my museum and then have people walk into a room to look at pictures of previous light exhibitions, etc. the installation and presentation of art matters, and mostly what iâm getting at is that the Nintendo Museum seems disingenuous to me and is just going to be another marketing tool for them rather than some sincere effort at preserving game history
however! iâll concede the little 80s & 90s Japanese room recreations thing was pretty neat and had sincere effort to it

I think half the museums Iâve been to over the last decade have had sweet ass CRTs and Iâm pretty sure awhile back Felix made a post about one of the companies theyâre sourced from.
Like the museum in my town has a whole mess of them. Nintendo should have them!!

Love to imagine that itâs Miyamoto and he has all those great ideas, and some middle-aged Salaryman from Nintendo HQ Accounting Team going
and thatâs that for giant wiimotes being the lower end of fun ideas

I hope youâre sitting down if youâre reading this but Gamescom Geoff show has been pretty uneventful so far. A few fighting game characters, but these shows are all feeling increasingly like the lengthy E3 PC Gaming shows due to how many random Steam indies and DLC announcements are here.

I thought that did look pretty good. Iâve not played any Life is Strange but maybe the time is now.

first two episodes of the first game are essential for design research. deliberately pushing the telltale model until it breaks
i love all of them, though, iâm just trying to be objective because i just finished listening to the audiobook of the second true colors novel
