Nintendo Entertainment System / The NES Gets Its Own OS
Last post by Æon - Oct 02, 2022, 03:31 PM

QuoteUntil recently, most video game systems didn't need their own operating systems in order to play games. Especially in the cartridge era — the games themselves simply ran directly on the hardware and didn't require the middleman of an operating system for any of the functionality of the consoles. There were exceptions for computers that doubled as home computers such as the Commodore, but systems like the NES never had their own dedicated OS. At least, until [Inkbox] designed and built the NES-OS...

Nintendo clarifies that it's "tears" as in crying, as opposed to "tears" as in something that is torn up.

Last post by Æon - Sep 13, 2022, 11:07 PM

Originally a Japan-exclusive for the Wii, Nintendo fans in the west can finally enjoy this game and now remastered in HD!

QuoteWhat is 「FATAL FRAME/Project Zero: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse」
「FATAL FRAME/Project Zero: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse」was released in 2008 for Wii as the fourth title in the series of 「FATAL FRAME/Project Zero.」 Following the remasterization of 「FATAL FRAME/Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water」, the masterpiece of the 「FATAL FRAME/Project Zero」series will be brought to life again with upgraded graphics.

About the Game
When the protagonists were children they visited the isolated island of "Rōgetsu Island." In the midst of a festival, they disappeared mysteriously. The title begins when the girls decide to go back and visit the island again in search of the lost memories of that day.
Attempt to repel encroaching ghosts, relying only on a faint glow from a flashlight and a camera with the ability to photograph unimaginable things, the Camera Obscura.

Camera Obscura
An old camera with the ability to repel vengeful ghosts and seal away their power by photographing them.
Equip stronger lenses and change out different films to capture even more powerful photos.
Reveal "things that cannot be seen" to find clues that will help in discovery of lost things.

Exploring Rōgetsu Island
Explore the dimly lit Western-style mansions and abandoned hospitals on the island by relying on the moonlight and the faint light of a flashlight.

The story progresses by "touching" places that may call your attention.
From past newspaper articles and notes, you will discover about the past in which abominable incidents happened and unravel the lost memories of the protagonist, and find the truth.

Coming "early 2023"

Switch Hardware / Will the Nintendo Switch ever ...
Last post by Æon - Sep 07, 2022, 01:06 PM

QuoteIn a recent interview with Nikkei Asia, Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa said the company has no plans "at this point" to increase the price of the Switch. Despite "rising production and shipping costs" for the system, Furukawa said Nintendo wants to "avoid pricing people out" of its console ecosystem (a worry apparently not shared by Meta, which recently raised the asking price of its Quest 2 VR headset).

While some are overreading the "at this point" phrasing as suggestive of a future Switch price increase, all this talk has us focused on some different questions. Namely, why haven't we seen a price drop for the Nintendo Switch in the last five-plus years? And can we ever expect Nintendo to offer the system for less than its launch price?
