I love stories like this is. I like to know the why of things.
The GameCube controller did a great job of sorting a lot of this. A for Action and is central and bigger and coloured green for go. B for back in menus and is red for stop.
My favourite recent story like this is Shigeru Miyamoto playing around with Donkey Kong Bonanza in development and deciding that A should be jump because B needed to be smash down, Y needed to be smash and X needed to be smash up. Absolutely the right call, too.
There is an arcade quite near me in Bridgwater England called Timewarp Arcade. They charge:
Ages 12 and Over = £11.50 Per Person;
Ages 4-11 = £8.00 Per Person.
This is for a wrist band day pass where you have unlimited entry for that day.
Pretty good idea but Bridgwater is quite a small town. Maybe the 50 minute pricing in this Southampton arcade is needed to get more people in and out in a day.

People love the Anlogue Pocket. This could be very good as well.

Wow. Cool story. I do love seeing the inside story of a company I love as much as Nintendo.

Sounds alright. Take my money. 😊

Incredible run.
Re: Simpatico Is A New Super Mario World Hack That Took "Nearly Three Years" To Make
Looks great. I immediately sent it to YouTuber and Twitch streamer NinjaLifestyle in case he would like to stream it live.
Re: Someone Has Just Beaten Super Mario 64 Without Pressing The A Button
Why didn’t they just remap the A button to B? 😊
Re: Nintendo Just Filed Multiple Trademarks For The GameCube Controller
Put the GameCube mini inside the controller, please. No separate console necessary.
I think they will have an ideal opportunity to do this with the Wii U controller mini console but they might be able to fit it into the GameCube one.
