It’s also possible to fake Pal Park. Pkhex can import a gen3 Pokémon into a gen 4 file, and any 3DS can back up, restore, and edit NDS Pokémon saves.

Every method of communication known to man short of identity verified adult-only channels is a potential direct route of communication from a child to a pedophile. No, I don’t think that Lemmy, Discord, Reddit, Xbox Live, PSN, Steam, Twitter, Tumblr, XMPP, Signal, 4chan, Whatsapp, Snapchat, Messenger, SMS, Neopets, Geocities, Kik, Club Penguin, or IRC should be shut down because of that potential abuse case, and I don’t think that Nintendo should avoid a decent friending/communication infrastructure because of it. And I’ve been using some of those services since i was a child. And no, I don’t think that wholesale banning kids from communicating online so that companies get to distance themselves from abuse is the right answer either. But just not having a communication system because maybe someone will use it for child abuse or drug deals or media piracy or coordinating the assassination of the President?

When the game’s level design is set up to comfortably accommodate four players (which NSMBU is), those accommodations don’t necessarily make the game better when played solo. NSMBU has a lot of “extra” space and a really wide camera zoom compared to traditional 2D marios like World or Bros 3, and very few jumps require any degree of precision or P-speed (because if they did, it’d be really hard for four players to do them at the same time due to collision and camera shift).

Wonder has really tight level design, which makes the 2-4p feel cramped and necessitates the removal of player collision. But those changes make it a much better single player experience.

The correct response to pedos or whatever on your social service is moderating your social service. Every service has pedos and nazis until they’re sufficiently discouraged by being banned and reported to authorities often enough.

Nintendo’s response was “welp, we tried. Guess there’s no way at all to let people meet each other and socialize through our games, because any form of communication can also be used for exposing children to sexual predators”

Been playing it for a week. It’s got heaps of replay value. Think SMW-style alternate exits and secret zones!

It’s more or less a stage in Smash Bros Brawl for some reason.

Here’s hoping that reusing the architecture means even the new games can’t escape being preserved by that bootROM level exploit!

There are some programs where this isn’t true thanks to Apple’s M1 chip design not being compatible natively with x64/x86 applications. But most emulator projects support the M1.

On Intel Macs this is always true.

You can still run all the emulators in developer mode. you just have to switch back to the walled-garden mode if you want to play actual xbox games.

You don’t need the steam store to play games on the steam deck, it’s a PC. they even have EmuDeck to make it seamless with your steam library.
