Launching the same day asā¦ the Switch port of Miitopia? Huh!
This blue Switch Lite is not a light blue Switch Lite. That already exists. This Switch Lite is darker blue. Hopefully youāll be able to order it online or just point at it in the store.

Tomorrow, April 7, Nintendo will launch this Nintendo Switch Online-exclusive game, which is Tetris 99/Mario 35/etc. but Pac-Man. It looks fun? Because Pac-Man is fun?
But, uh, yikes. Coming so soon after the removal of Super Mario 35, I feel like this little game is going to take a lot of flak from people Mad Online. āThat Mario game I didnāt like that much died for this???ā
Anyway, this is also an anniversary game! Much like myself, Pac-Man is celebrating his 40th year of life.

The Nijigen no Mori theme park on Japanās Awaji Island is hosting a Dragon Quest-themed attraction. In addition to being the place where you can zipline into a googly-eyed 1:1 scale Godzilla head (ā¦ā¦post-vaccine travel goals), Awaji Island is known for its onions, hence: onion slime.
Itāll be on sale at the Square Enix online shop on April 10, so maybe itāll be possible to get one of these without planning and executing a trip to Japan now, while travel into Japan from the United States is still banned. Although that seems less fun. Via miki800.

Whether you prefer a symmetrical or asymmetrical layout, or want to change the position of the d-pad for each different game, or if you like those Total eSports Trigger Things, or if you like losing parts of things, the Cyber Gyro Controller Pro has something for you. With its various augments and mods, it is the most cyber of gadgets.
Not that Iām a high spec gamer or anything, nor do I have around 70 dollars to drop on a controller, but with all the features and the ability to record macros, Iām definitely curious about this thing. Iād probably end up fidgeting with all my controller doodads instead of playing gamesā¦

What a wonderfully fun, fulfilling job it must be to pick weird niche things for your phenomenally successful niche publishing operation. ~Sigh~ā¦
LRG is publishing, I guess, a console? Basically? The Sega Astro City Mini, available March 26 at 10am Eastern, is a mini arcade cabinet (with HDMI out) containing a bunch of Sega arcade classics. LRG is also selling the compellingly cute Astro City Mini Gamepad and a āStyle Kitā to make it look more like an authentic arcade cabinet for extremely small gamers.
I loved this thing but dared not make the impractical purchase when it was released in Japan. But nowā¦ now itās being presented to me again, with a waggling eyebrow and an āEh? Ehhhh?ā

Slime Speaker Stand adapted to fit more devices, planet successfully hacked ā
3D printing has finally passed the novelty stage and become a technology with real-life benefits that will improve the way of life for all of us, now that MyFairJulie has designed a universal device cradle for the Hori Slime Speaker Stand.
Iāve tried to jam several devices into the stock SSS, and most non-DS items just kind of wobble on top of the stand. So this is really the way to go if youāre trying to make practical use of this very necessary and excellent multimedia system.

I was a big El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron booster before and during its original release on PS3 and Xbox 360. It combined simple but nice-feeling brawling with platforming, oddly idiosyncratic characters, and constantly changing abstract visuals that, to my mind, still havenāt been matched. Also itās in the Bible Cinematic Universe. And it had official jeans.
Finally, ten years after its release (and the dissolution of its publisher) El Shaddai will be released on Steam āsoon,ā producer Sawaki Takeyasu announced. I canāt imagine how wild itās going to look on PC, and just how spectacular the jeans fidelity will be.

Itās sort of one of those āout today!ā Nintendo Direct things, but itās also something we knew was coming out this month. But anyway, just download the Capcom Arcade Stadium app thing from eShop! You get free 1943 and a free download of Ghosts ān Goblins (until February 25 when that new Ghosts 'n Goblins game comes out!)
Iām pretty excited to spend some of my Forced Winter Double Quarantine Snow Break playing old Capcom games with my kids. Iām pretty excited in general to have things to think about other than being at home in a freak unprecedented weather emergency during a pandemic. But at least I have power with which to play games and post about them! For right now.

Heyyyyy Iām sure youāre paying attention to many, many other Switch announcements right now, but I went to the eShop to get the demos for all that stuff and I saw this Neo Geo Pocket Color classic on the front page, and: pretty cool. I must admit that seeing one handheld system on the screen of another is very My Brand as well.
Important note on the product page: ā*Modes other than VS that require DC/KOF LINK are not enabled.ā So I guess donāt try to connect your Switch to your Dreamcast, and if you do, donāt expect too much.

The jacket… is a lot better than a jacket based on a fake airline populated by cute extinct birds should be. The shirt is a clean graphic on a nice color. The hat… is also there. Why is the Nintendo Store’s Dodo Airlines collection so good?

Thingiverse user and 3D modeler TheJeffChen posted two very cool, very impractical, very cool because they’re very impractical designs for GameCube stands.
Both the “Logo Dunk” stand and the “Triforce” stand hold the console up from one corner, showing a shocking and flagrant lack of respect for the stability inherent in the cube shape. They are also designed to be reminiscent of the GameCube logo animation!
Of course, the Thingiverse page for both of these suggest extreme caution when using wired controllers.

Finally, after SO many years, the Animal Crossing/Sanrio collab Amiibo cards will see an official US release, on March 26 exclusively at Target. The package contains all 6 cards, originally released in Japan for New Leaf (and as far as I know, still compatible!) and now sold as a New Horizons accessory.
These things go for impossibly high prices on auction sites, but at Target, six dollars.
