In WarioWare: Twisted, Jimmy's boss microgame can be won instantly if the console is tilted 720° in less than half a second. In practice, this is achieved by literally physically throwing the console.

My latest deep dive diversion is wrapped up! Not only does it shed light on this fun low-poly roguelike Action-RPG, it's resulted in a huge English language guide for anyone who thinks this looks like something they might want to play. Check it out!

Most of the footage of the famous 2000 "Super Mario 128" tech demo was recorded with handheld cameras by the audience, with the presenter drowning out the game sound. Only 10 seconds of direct feed footage exist, which reveal that the sound was a cacophony of Marios screaming.
In Mario Party 3, the message debug mode features Peach walking in a white void while messages are displayed, except all portraits are replaced by Boo. This creates the impression of a bizarre scenario where Boo is showing off his wide repertoire of character impressions to Peach.
In other news, I've added a long-requested feature to our archive, the ability to sort interviews by the date we translated them. The front page highlights our most recent ~2 months worth of work, but if you're wanting to catch up further this is a convenient tool. shmuplations.com/archive/
When a Spiny Shell is about to hit a racer in Mario Kart World, it aims for the center of their model before exploding. For small racers, e.g. Goomba, this results in a single frame where it fully envelops them, giving off the appearance of the shell itself driving the vehicle.
Hey uh... SO I MADE A NEW VIDEO! This is a topic I have rarely seen covered. There are truly lost Nintendo games out there and they are all from a program called the Nintendo Game Seminar.
I spent so much time and effort on this so it would mean the world if you could share!

Asterix: Mega Madness (2001)
The most elaborate (and not at all stereotyping) language select screen I've ever seen!

makes sense, from start to end of my teenage years I played Final Fantasies 7, 8, 9 and 10 as they came out. that kind of thing is gonna warp you into being dependably nostalgic if nothing else. if the only contemporary FF I got to play was 15? that couldn't warp me, I'd be normal and well adjusted.
A valentine of the ChuChu Rocket start screen, except it says "I ChuChu Choose You!"
I made a print version this year ...
Here's a clip
I didn't expect to get it first try, I usually either aim the second shot a little off or take it to the face
Feel free to widely share this curated easy to understand #Satellaview knowledge that I just posted on my blog.
I didn't want to overscope it but I spent a lot of time explaining a curated list of games for those who have no idea what the Satellaview is.

As seen on the other site, the Yokosuka Tourism Office offers official Shenmue tourism maps, in English, upon request and even updates them every few years

Shiren the Wanderer is good for many reasons and one is because you can fuse an edible dried fish weapon with a sword, passing on the edibility trait, so when you eat THAT, Shiren just downs that blade like a champ. 😎
And that's how I survived 10 harrowing floors straight with no onigiri drops. 💀
There's no memory card icon but the newly released prototype of the long-lost Beavis and Butt-Head Do Hollywood does at least have an in-game memory card sighting!

A very tall image. it's got 7-8 different quotes on it, an image of Satomi Asakawa, and screenshots of various games that influenced her early in her life and career.

A very tall image. It's got 2 different quotes on it, and a big collage of art of characters that Asakawa's team designed for Twilight Princess. It also has some photos of her, including some from Twilight Princess development and one from a few years after she retired from Nintendo.
Trying something new today!

Not only does Extra Bright feature 10 memory card icons - quite an offering for a simple action game - it's the only title I've found so far that has an in-game menu where you pick which icon you want to use

In Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Polterguys are Shy Guys that turn into blocks. Due to the game's camera using massive amounts of foreshortening, they must compensate for it. To appear perfectly cubical, they are actually immensely long.
Y’all, the Castlevania: Awakening In The Moonlight musical by Takarazuka Revue is available legally on VOD with subtitles starting today until the end of March, this is a great adaptation and the women in this show are so good, PLUS this is a rare experiment globally
Please see it if you’re curious
Beautiful use of the icons!
Ultrakill takes it a somewhat-unnecessary-but-definitely-cool step further and has a whole ass museum dedicated to everyone, what they did, a blurb for them, and more. 110% the most effort put into credits I've seen to date. Also chess is there for some reason.
Credits for Brent Porter (3D art lead) and Catherine Menabde (2D art lead) are shown here. There's a lengthy description of what they did, with a pastiche of various Demonschool characters underneath, messing around with a computer.
We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.
