Personal growth is hard when you leave no room (time) for it.

. @clover and I tried playing Kirby and the Amazing Mirror on GBA a while back, but the OEM Game Link Cable wasn't great at not coming unplugged and the third-party wireless equivalent we found didn't really work. :(

Today, we tried playing it on Nintendo Switch Online with two Switches set up for local multiplayer. It was so laggy! Not only was the input lag bad, but the network lag caused the game to lock up for a split second every several seconds. :/

Especially when a pair of Raspberry Pis configured to emulate the same setup would run far better.

They should remake The Legend of #Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages. :3c #Nintendo

What is the best #Nintendo #3DS flashcart? Looking to get one so I can play homebrew games, etc.

I'm not sure about flashcarts for the 3DS - I've never looked into them. If you jailbreak your 3DS using the guide at https://3ds.hacks.guide, you can run homebrew directly from an SD card.

If you decide to go the flashcart route, please post your impressions here, I'm curious to hear how they work.

I still think it's weird how people who use on these free services are surprised when the companies running them shut them down. These companies exist to make money and free services don't do that.

It'd be really cool if #Nintendo would figure out how to port DS and 3DS games to the Switch, and released said ports.

Watching the #Nintendo Direct with @clover . Pretty cool stuff so far.

Who remembers when #Nintendo came out with a proprietary floppy drive for the Nintendo 64?

The chunky 3-D graphics of the 3DS still appeal to me today. #Nintendo
