Being able to clearly see where you have already visited in a large level Neat Game Design

On top of an icy mountain, you can see the trail towards the top of the mountain is covered in the players blue ink - showing where you have visited

Pretty nasty Microsoft carefully orchestrated how their layoffs were perceived, minimizing backlash for destroying half a dozen studios Already washed their hands of Double Fine’s fate, this might being forced to lay off a third of a company less than a month from independence

Update 7/28/2026 3:19 p.m. ET: An Xbox spokesperson has shared the following statement with Kotaku: "Double Fine fully
returned to independent management earlier this week, with their IP, catalog, and runway for their next games. As they begin their next chapter as an independent studio, we look forward to seeing what they create next."

Nintendo keeps making games about trying to get out of generational debt Is this a cry for help

The town plunges into that surpassing 60, billion G

*The festival and massive donations briefly boosted the economy, but it is once again in trouble.
"
"Excitement over the surplus may have prematurely loosened purse strings.

INTEL: The Great Fox is the name given to the high-performance command cruiser used as a mobile base of operations by independent paramilitary team Star Fox. Team founder James
McCloud spared no expense in commissioning the warship from Space Dynamics, taking out an 80-year loan to pay for it. The significant debt he incurred is one that Star Fox continues to carry today.

People love to get mad at Miyamoto quotes But this is pretty stellar and topical www.videogameschronicle.com/news/miyamot...

"So, the reason Nintendo enjoys such strong global support is simply that we don't start by asking: 'What's trending right now?' Instead, we focus on who we're actually doing this for.
Who is it that's putting up the money? I really dislike terms like
'depreciation' or 'recouping costs.' The people funding these projects are doing it to make a fortune, so why celebrate things like 'we recouped our investment' or short-term profits?
To me, if you've burned through the talents of so many people just to achieve that, that feels like a massive failure.
We've always focused on creating the best possible product to match the 'fun gameplay' we envision. I think that's the only real difference. I might sound a bit arrogant saying this [laughs], but if you make things while constantly asking 'will this make money right away?' you can't create anything truly unique or with broad appeal.
After all, the most 'local' things - like an individual's personal hobbies - are often the ones that resonate globally.
Conversely, if you try to base your work on things that only seem to have broad appeal, you end up with something generic - something where you can't tell who actually made it and that kind of thing actually lacks global strength.

Part of the Miyamoto interview confirms the long running fan theory that remakes directly lead into new games We’ve seen it before (Samus returns->dread | links awakening -> echoes of wisdom) but this is the first official confirmation that this is an active initiative they’re perusing

Letting people know the original games
also leads to future developments, so we've been actively pursuing that
recently."

Cartridge Games@cartridgegames· 22d

Don’t know if the translation is wrong, but this implies the opposite

Sometimes things get decided after
we've discussed them. We started
working on the first Mario movie (The
Super Mario Bros. Movie) and Princess
Peach Showtime around the same time,
and we talked about things like, 'If we
have this game, shouldn't Peach be
more energetic in the movie too?' It was
decided early on that Yoshi would
appear in The Super Mario Galaxy
Movie, so we decided to make a Yoshi
game, and that's how development of
Yoshi and the Mysterious Book began.
It's a case-by-case situation, but I think we'll continue to maintain a good
relationship between games and other
developments."

Interesting to read their insight on why they decided to make the environment more drab and unsettling Apparently felt bad to fight the salmonids in such a happy place Tonal mismatch

Tamura: Even when it came to the background music, when we were creating it based on the resort-like concept art, it had an adventurous and friendly vibe.
That only added to the feeling that we were going out of our way to attack these cute, innocent creatures. We started to doubt if we were heading in the right direction, and the motive for progressing through the game became unclear.

An early development screenshot of Splatoon Raiders showing a more colorful environment They tried to litter with negative imagery.

It just made it look like a dirty beach instead of an outlandish environment so they had to go back to the drawing board

Jakks had the Nintendo master license for a whole decade, feels like Quality started pretty rough, but they did good work in recent years Guessing Hasbro has more live action figure experience for the movie

Is Zelda and a link figure based on breath of the wild

A comic with the captions:
Why are you eating ice cream?

I always eat ice cream when I’m having a bad day.

But you eat ice cream every day

The final panel shows a character looking gloom with ice cream in a spoon melting

The old briefing scenes are so funny after the remake

Cartridge Games@cartridgegames· Jul 8

Square Enix finishing their remake of FF7 on mobile and then delisting it a month later it’s pretty funny Imagine they’ll try to bring it to consoles without the gacha I believe it contains a pretty faithful remake of the PS1 version and uses remake assets for battles

Screenshots of ever crisis Final Fantasy seven

The characters have the proportions of the original PlayStation one game, but with new higher, Fidelity models
