Good news, all the P switch icons are on the map now in Mario Kart World. It does show which ones you've done vs those you haven't.

You can also immediately warp to any P switch to do the challenge.

Felix the Cat NES game seems to be fairly popular with some speed runners. Arcus on Twitch and YT has done a number of speed runs on it.

Interesting. I wonder if more people are playing it today than when it was originally released.

I never knew about it back in the day, but I've seen it come up occasionally in hidden gems lists and Let's Plays over the last 10 years or so. I'm sure YT and forums have helped to increase its popularity like Little Samson.

Edit: typos.

I'm rubbish at wall riding.

Wish there was a normal jump button instead of a charge jump.

Also, need a button to deploy glide mode at any time. Would be epic.

Yeah, not too good at that myself either. Really need to get better at it.

Can anything be done about Switch online retro games frames and backgrounds?

I can't play a lot of the games because of the dotted effect sidecars and button prompt bar permanently stuck at the bottom of the screen.

The button prompts can be disabled in each NSO retro app. Sidebars can't be disabled, though, unfortunately.

Yeah, wish you do something about those sidebars. Hoping they’ll maybe allow for that in some future update but not going to hold my breath on it.

Hitman World of Assassination is coming today. It was like 45% off as a GKC.

Nintendo plans to strengthen their game development capabilities by expanding facilities and acquiring other developers as subsidiaries

https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2025/251105e.pdf

Which developers should they buy? I say Saber Interactive, very prolific developer and versatile with different genres. Also great at porting games.

So Nintendo has sold over ten million Switch 2 consoles since launch. Could it reach 15 million by the end of the year?

Watching Aliens for the first time.  The makers of Halo, Half Life and Metroid should each send a $1 billion check to the writers and director of this franchise. Valve, MS and Nintendo wanto to bitch about piracy?

Fuck off you filthy disgusting intellectual proeprty thieves. You are no better than people making rip off Gucchi bags.
