Some recent Nintendo news I find interesting (in the article ):


  • Bandai Namco announced a new dev studio (Bandai Namco Studio 2 & Studio S) for commissioned projects. Notably, this particular portion of Bandai Namco staff have mostly been involved with development of numerous major Nintendo titles, including the Super Smash Bros. franchise, Mario Kart 8, ARMS, and many more.

  • Coinciding with the above news, Bandai Namco Studio 2 & Studio S seem to be the team working on a remaster/remake of a 3D action game for Nintendo that was revealed early last year by a job listing calling for someone experienced with HD remastering of 3D backgrounds. Another job listing for the studio mentions "construction of stage specifications," "level designs," and "side-view action games" also commissioned by Nintendo, but it's unknown as to whether this is related to the same exact project.

  • At the very end of a video released yesterday by the creator of the Super Smash Bros. games—most recently Super Smash Bros. Ultimate—(and more), Masahiro Sakurai, it was confirmed that he is "still creating games." It is currently unknown what role he is taking this time around. Sakurai has famously sacrificed his own health on many past occasions for the sake of meticulous direct involvement in each of his game's development cycles, so hopefully this pattern is not being repeated yet again. Remember, y'all, rest when you need to.

Very toxic, invasive, and the plant is covered with thorns, but even so, I'm always excited to see these horse nettle berries. The colour is so nice.

Big thank you to my top ten supporters, and everyone who sends charged stickers my way—it means a lot.

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

Wanted to try my hand at making a playful minimalist floral pattern, specifically with wallpaper in mind. Probably one of the easiest things I've ever made, but I think the effect is fun.
