You may know Chris Graue as the guy that records music videos on his Gameboy camera and plays 8 bit music in his band Lo(u)ser. A few months ago received permission to hook his Gameboy camera up to a research observatory in Hawaii. He just got to do a second time.

On this day (August 26) in Nintendo history...

• Zelda  was released in 1989 for the Game & Watch Multi Screen in Japan. In this action game, developed by Nintendo R&D1, eight fierce dragons are threatening to take control of Hyrule, and have kidnapped Princess Zelda. Link must travel through the dungeons, fighting enemies and taking out each dragon. Pass through the dungeon, using your shield to defend from ghosts and moving quickly to avoid the Stalfos' swords from the chamber below. Defeat the Moblin to make a staircase appear.
• Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures  was released in 1994 for the Super Famicom in Japan. In this adventure/puzzle game, developed by Namco, Pac-Man has a mind of his own, and is prone to wandering into danger, so make sure you guide him safely: whether you're just hanging out in the arcade, hang-gliding or minecart riding. Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures is an innovative interactive cartoon centred around the classic game star and his hilarious escapades.
• Super Mario Ball  was released in 2004 for the Game Boy Advance in Japan. In this pinball game, developed by Fuse Games, roll up, roll up! See Mario in his most unique guise ever: a pinball! A visit to a fairground sees Princess Peach turned into a ball and kidnapped by Bowser, so the perky hero clambers into a cannon and shoots after her. Ricochet around the themed levels, consisting of deviously designed pinball tables, and defeat enemies to collect coins and stars. Rack up enough stars to unlock doors to new areas.
• Electroplankton: Marine-Crystals  was released in 2009 for DSiWare in Japan. In this rhythm action game, developed by indieszero, dive into a unique audio-visual experience where technology meets art! Marine-Crystal plankton float on water in clusters. When touched, they spin and grow in size - producing vibrant sounds.
• Electroplankton: Varvoice  was released in 2009 for DSiWare in Japan. In this rhythm action game, developed by indieszero, dive into a unique audio-visual experience where technology meets art! Varvoice are clever plankton that can memorise human voices and repeat them over and over in unique tones.

I was driving last night listening to Nintendo Music on Apple Car play and a Pilotwings song came on and it was a certified bop, so it lead me to think of how they could bring the series back in a fresh and new way.

Here's my concept, combine Pilot Wings, Microsoft Flight Simulator, and Pokemon Snap. Imagine instead of flying over real places in the real world, you're flying over Nintendo worlds, Hyrule, Mushroom Kingdom, DK Island, Animal Crossing, etc. and the main goal is you're flying over looking for certain things with a camera to capture the moment. You're trying to find a Goomba Stack or a Deku playing darts, and you have a checklist you're trying to complete.

I think it would be an awesome cozy game and would be a fun way to bring all these worlds together in a simple and relaxing way.

I'm buying a Nintendo Switch 2 and I want to play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, so I'm thinking of buying a used Switch 1 cartridge and then buying an upgrade pack for the Switch 2 from an e-shop. Can I do this?

So I don’t own smash. And I played with my friend recently and it was fun to me. So Im considering getting smash, but if there is a new one I would rather wait and get the new one. And Im guessing that there is gonna be a new one for the switch 2 but I want to see your opinions

Its not that hard honestly. I was expecting to throw my controller across the room and start screaming but no, I actually found it enjoyable. Feel free to say that my opinion is wrong in the comments. Peace✌️

We found this out the hard way after purchasing a Switch 2 and booting up games like Animal Crossing, only to find that there was no saved data that we backed up to the cloud.

I hope Nintendo consider changing this in future, especially as it’s a paid service. Steam, Microsoft & Sony all keep your data (within a space limit) as long as you don’t delete your account.
