Nintendo's 135-year history will soon be brought to life inside the walls of a new purpose-built Nintendo Museum in Kyoto, Japan - and ahead of its opening on 2nd October, legendary designer Shigeru Miyamoto has revealed some of its intriguing exhibits in a new video tour.

The Nintendo Museum has been built on the site of the factory where Nintendo originally made its Hanafuda cards, and which was later used for quality checks during the Famicom era. That building and its unremarkable carpark are no longer standing, however, now replaced by a shiny two-floor monument to Nintendo's history and a Mario-themed plaza.

Miyamoto's 13-minute tour begins on the second floor of the museum, where several huge curved glass displays - containing many of the products Nintendo has released since its founding in 1889 - can be found. This whole area is intended to chart the evolution of Nintendo's approach to entertainment, from its earlier non-video game products - including copy machines, baby strollers, RC cars, and pitching machines - into more familiar territory, beginning with 1977's early video game forays, the Color TV-Game 6 and Color TV-Game 15.

The spirit of Buster Keaton flies again in World of Goo 2

6. Srpen 2024 v 11:49

I'm not sure how funny Buster Keaton movies are these days - I assume there are moments that still work as pure gags. But these films of his remain wonderful, because Keaton was kind of the Tom Cruise of his age - or rather Cruise, who namechecks Keaton often in interviews - is the closest thing we have to the original. Keaton's gags were almost always stunts, dangerous, brilliant, clearly visual stunts that moved the action forward while giving audiences something to gasp at. There's nothing on the surface to make me think of the World of Goo games, and yet I think of Keaton constantly when I play.

Keaton's world moves. I think that's it. Its physics are dependable - and predictable, which is important for gags and for games - but the ground itself cannot be trusted. If Keaton's sat on a steamboat's wheel and he thinks he's safe, we know that wheel's going to start turning. If he's climbing a ladder, we know that the ladder itself will start sinking into the mud. What then? Keaton has to vamp - to make the moment work. He has to over-engineer things to create a sense of new stability. That's where you get the gag, where you get the fun.

This is everywhere in World of Goo. At the heart of the first game, which helped usher in the Indie era, and at the heart of the second, which has just arrived, bringing with it both new ideas and a lot of fond memories - at the heart of both you're dealing with treacherous foundations. These games are bridge builders at their simplest. (Granted, they never stay simple for very long.) You have a pile of black goo lumps, and you can extend the lumps outwards to create rudimentary frames. The goal for each level is a pipe you have to reach, which will suck in any remaining goo balls. So build upwards in a tower to a pipe that's lurking above you! Build outward as a bridge across a nasty gap.

REVIEW – Kudzu

13. Květen 2024 v 12:00

Embark on a nostalgic journey reminiscent of classic top-down action adventures with Kudzu, a recent release for the Nintendo Switch that harkens back to the golden era of The Legend of Zelda games. In this non-linear adventure, players assume the role of Max, an apprentice gardener on a mission to save his mentor from the clutches of a world-eating plant. While Kudzu captures the essence of its retro inspirations, it falls short in some key areas, resulting in a mixed gameplay experience.

At its core, Kudzu offers simple controls reminiscent of its Game Boy predecessors. Movement is limited to four directions, with only two action buttons for interacting with people/objects and engaging in combat. While the streamlined control scheme stays true to its roots, the absence of diagonal movement may feel restrictive to some players.

One notable departure from traditional action-adventure games is the lack of a defensive option. Unlike in Zelda games, players must rely on quick reflexes and evasive maneuvers to avoid enemy attacks, as there is no shield mechanic. While most enemies are easily avoidable, projectile-firing foes like spiders add an element of unpredictability and frustration to encounters.

The initial stages of Kudzu offer a promising experience, with engaging gameplay and a captivating soundtrack that perfectly complements the game’s nostalgic aesthetic. The graphics strike a delicate balance between classic and contemporary, breathing new life into the familiar top-down perspective.

However, as the game progresses, several issues begin to emerge. Backtracking becomes a common occurrence as players grind for mushrooms (the in-game currency) to purchase essential items like maps and a compass. While reminiscent of old-school game design, the repetitive nature of this process can become tedious and detract from the overall enjoyment.

Furthermore, the inconsistency of enemy respawn rates and drop rates for mushrooms exacerbates the grinding process, hindering progression and impeding the player’s ability to quickly unlock new content.

Unfortunately, Kudzu struggles to maintain its initial allure. The menu is a bit clunky, as it takes time to load and move between selections. And there are serious issues with the hit-box. Sometimes I am nowhere near an enemy and still take damage. But other times, I can walk right into an enemy and walk away scott-free.

Despite its flaws, the game showcases ambition and potential, offering players a nostalgic trip down memory lane at a very affordable price point. While it may not yet reach the lofty heights of its inspirations, it serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of classic action-adventure gameplay.

In conclusion, Kudzu is a promising yet flawed adventure that demonstrates the developer’s passion for the genre. With some fine-tuning and adjustments, it has the potential to evolve into a standout title for fans of retro-inspired gaming. At its current price point, it’s worth considering for those seeking a budget-friendly trip down memory lane, but be prepared for some rough patches along the way.

Wonder Boy, Bust a Move, New Zealand Story today⊟

Hey y'all, it’s been a while, as evidenced by my trying to spell “Tumblr” with an O while logging in. Tomblr. Tumblor. Toumblro.

Anyway I’m back with more old games on Switch. It’s becoming my brand and I’m ok with that. Today’s Nintendo Download includes a whole entire Wonder Boy Collection (also on PS4/PS5), with multiple versions of each game including Master System, Game Gear, arcade, and Genesis (not all for every game of course!) and multiple regional versions. I don’t know developer Bliss Brain, and I didn’t play their previous game, the Princess Maker remake. So I can’t speak to the quality of the ports. But as long as they’re not totally busted that’s such a cool collection!

Also on eShop today: Puzzle Bobble™2X/BUST-A-MOVE™2 Arcade Edition & Puzzle Bobble™3/BUST-A-MOVE™3 S-Tribute, a collection of Saturn ports. More importantly, it’s just a king’s ransom of moves to bust and puzzles to bobble. “Enjoy ports of the arcade games Puzzle Bobble 2X and Puzzle Bobble 3, as well as four home console versions released in Japan and abroad, with added original modes.”

Finally, there’s an Arcade Archives port of another Taito classic, The New Zealand Story. I might be doing some shopping as long as my house continues to have electricity!

Keep it locked for infrequent updates about ports of old games onto Switch. I’m… I’m doing my best you guys.

RECENZE: Niceboy X330 Cubix – Hodně parády za málo peněz

Ať už se jedná o kvalitní mikrofon pro komunikaci se spoluhráči, nebo hluboké a působivé zvukové efekty, ten správný headset může být klíčovým prvkem pro intenzivní herní zážitek. V této recenzi se podíváme na funkci a výkon herních sluchátek Oryx X330 Cubix značky Niceboy, která se zároveň řadí mezi cenově dostupné výrobce.

Design

Po vizuální stránce jsou sluchátka Niceboy X330 Cubix robustnějšího vzezření s moderním designem, doprovázeným pevným, ale lehkým rámem, který je pohodlný i při delším hraní. Náušníky jsou vyrobené z kvalitní PU kůže, která se přizpůsobí vaším uším a poskytuje vynikající pohodlí a izolaci hluku, i když sluchátka jako taková aktivní potlačení hluku nenabízí. Nastavitelný náhlavní most zajišťuje přiléhavé uchycení k hlavě. Nejužší nastavení je relativně dost široké, je tedy třeba počítat s tím, že sluchátka budou pravděpodobně padat dětem, nebo všeobecně lidem s velmi malou hlavou. Přívodový kabel sluchátek má 2,2 metry a není opletený. Věřím, že to nijak neovlivní jeho životnost.SL3

Kompatibilita

Sluchátka Niceboy ORYX X330 Cubix jsou kompatibilní s každým zařízením, které má USB port s podporou zvukového vstupu a výstupu. Já konkrétně jsem je testovala primárně na PS5 a na PC. Hlasitost zvukového výstupu si můžete upravovat kolečkem umístěným přímo na sluchátcích.

Zvuk

Kvalita zvuku je u každého herního headsetu prvořadá a tento model ve své cenové relaci v porovnání s ostatními headsety nezklame. Sluchátka nabízí 7.1 prostorový zvuk, standardní rozsah hertzů 20-20000 s citlivostí 112. Já, jakožto hráčka jak FPS, tak příběhových her jsem se sluchátky neměla žádné problémy lokalizovat nepřátele, ani si jednoduše užít hudbu.SL1

Mikrofon

Komunikace je při hraní multiplayerových her klíčová, mikrofon  Niceboy ORYX X330 Cubix zajišťuje, že vás půjde slyšet hlasitě a jasně. Mikrofon s potlačením šumu filtruje zvuk na pozadí. Zrovna tuto funkci jsem v tomto horkém období, kdy je na mě větrák natočen 24/7 uvítala. Funkci zaručeně využijí i majitelé hlučných PS4. S mikrofonem se dá manipulovat, nicméně není plně odnímatelný.

Software

Stejně, jako většina dalších výrobků značky Niceboy mají i sluchátka ORYX X330 Cubix vlastní software. Díky tomuto speciálnímu softwaru si můžete  nastavit jak zvuk, tak mikrofon dle vlastní libosti, případně využít přednastavených módů. Díky možnosti upravit si basy, výšky, vyvážení kanálů a dalších parametrů si každý může přizpůsobit zvukový profil tak, aby dokonale odpovídal jeho hernímu stylu a poskytoval nezapomenutelný zážitek z hraní. Mezi další funkce patří RGB osvětlení na mušlích v červené barvě.SL4

Na závěr

Niceboy ORYX X330 Cubix headset vyniká mimořádnou kvalitou zvuku, pohodlným designem a nastavitelnými funkcemi. Všestrannost sluchátek je doplněna kvalitním mikrofonem. Kompatibilnost s různými platformami zaručí opravdu univerzální využití.  Jedná se o sluchátka, která jsou cenově dostupná a zároveň kvalitní.

Sluchátka nyní můžete zakoupit za 889,- zde

World Of Goo 2 review: an inventive return to goo with some flies in the ointment

The first World Of Goo was a cheerful parade of goopy engineering with a sense of never-ending novelty (well, never-ending for about four hours). Every level would introduce a new goo type or a twist on the basic bridge-building puzzle that challenged you to get a gaggle of gurgling balls to the nearest pipe. World Of Goo 2 pursues that sense of novelty with just as much twitchy eagerness as its predecessor, throwing new toys and goos at the player in an effort to keep you on your sludge-coated toes. That pursuit doesn't always result in pleasing new levels, though. There is a "hit and miss" feeling to things this time around. But those hits are hits. For anyone who has spent the last 16 years yearning for more sticky structure-building: I hope you like comically unpredictable fluids.

Last week, chip manufacturer Zilog announced that after 48 years on the market, its line of standalone DIP (dual inline package) Z80 CPUs is coming to an end, ceasing sales on June 14, 2024. The 8-bit architecture debuted in 1976 and powered a small-business-PC revolution in conjunction with CP/M, also serving as the heart of the Nintendo Game Boy, Sinclair ZX Spectrum, the Radio Shack TRS-80, the Pac-Man arcade game, and the TI-83 graphing calculator.

In a letter to customers dated April 15, 2024, Zilog wrote, "Please be advised that our Wafer Foundry Manufacturer will be discontinuing support for the Z80 product and other product lines. Refer to the attached list of the Z84C00 Z80 products affected."

Designers typically use the Z84C00 chips because of familiarity with the Z80 architecture or to allow legacy system upgrades without needing significant system redesigns. And while many other embedded chip architectures have superseded these Z80 chips in speed, processing power, and capability, they remained go-to solutions for decades in products that didn't need any extra horsepower.

2024's release schedule just got a lot brighter, starting with Pepper Grinder and Snufkin in March
