I started thinking while I was looking through those old commercials. NoA used to use the old slogan "Now you're playing with power!" And when the Game Boy and SNES came out, they used "Now you're playing with portable power!" and "Now you're playing with super power!" And in the Power Pad commercial, they even use "Now you're playing with body power!" I started to wonder what the slogan would've been like if Nintendo continued to use it for their later game systems. Here's what I came up with:

Now you're playing with...
Virtual Boy: virtual power!
N64: ultra power!
Game Boy Color: ???
GBA: advanced power!
Gamecube: ???
DS: dual power!
Wii: ??? (Certainly not Wii power)

What other ways do you think to slogan could be used? How would they use it for different peripherals or games?

In glorious TechniPOWER! GC: Now you're playing with Power³. Wii: Now you're playing with Power. Motion Power.

nocturnal YL: I also still haven't touched Fatal Frame 5 and Atelier Marie Remake, but I'm going to group them up for an even lengthier Gust marathon in the future. Oct 16, 2024 14:06:20 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: On the topic of WarioWare, I'm glad to finally see a new entry that doesn't have unnecessarily difficult boss games. The motion control does take a lot of getting used to, though. It's less intuitive than Smooth Moves, which remains my favourite WarioWare. Oct 16, 2024 14:10:40 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: I think I'm getting near the end of the Ys X demo (I'm starting chapter 3). I'm enjoying the story, but I've been having a hard time getting a handle on the combat. Oct 18, 2024 11:22:36 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: That's still quite early. The combat should feel better once you fill up all skill slots. Oct 18, 2024 21:42:54 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: I took a look at my past Switch games and found that more than 40% of the games I played contain some kind of fishing. Oct 21, 2024 11:36:02 GMT -5 *

nocturnal YL: A bit late, but I started Aiyoku no Eustia. I have nothing to say about the story yet because the demo lasted 6 hours and I haven't got past that. There's no save data transfer feature, fast-forwarding takes a while, and I stopped to read at some points. Nov 3, 2024 6:47:31 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: It has the best file management feature I've seen. 60 normal save slots, 6 autosaves, and 12 more slots automatically saved at decision points. And the save data can be moved, deleted and given comments. It's the most flexible I've seen on console. Nov 3, 2024 6:50:03 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: I think I've gotten a better handle on the combat in Ys X, but I still don't think it feels quite as good as in Ys VIII and IX. Nov 9, 2024 15:18:51 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: Interesting; that's the opposite of what I think. Which part are you in now, by the way? Nov 10, 2024 5:44:57 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: I'm just at the beginning of chapter 7. I've seen very divided opinions on the combat among Ys fans. I don't dislike it, but maybe I'm just used to Ys games having faster combat. Nov 10, 2024 8:38:57 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: Aiyoku no Eustia is quite something. I thought I've somewhat hardened myself having gone through dark stories like Fire Emblem (Jugdral, Hoshido/Nohr, Fódlan) and Surge Concerto, but I'm still stunned. (Still doesn't beat real life, though.) Nov 10, 2024 15:17:23 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: Aiyoku no Eustia has branched endings, and I've reached two. I'm surprised to see three familiar names in the credits: Ceui (OP vocal in Atelier Lydie & Suelle), Yoshino Nanjo (voice of Kiria in TMS♯FE), Yuu Asakawa (Megurine Luka's voice provider). Nov 14, 2024 14:42:30 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: It'll be quite a while until I'm done with this game. Each individual arc takes at least 6 hours, and there are extra stories. I recall reading somewhere that this game takes 60 hours to finish. Nov 14, 2024 15:02:04 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: Quick update: I'm starting chapter 9 in Ys X. Overall, I've been enjoying the game quite a bit. Nov 15, 2024 9:12:40 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: Ah, almost there! Nov 15, 2024 9:33:20 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: I will go offline for a few days. My family is travelling to South Korea. I should be back around next Friday (22 Nov). Nov 16, 2024 4:32:51 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: I haven't been to Korea for more than two decades, so I look forward to it. Nov 16, 2024 4:36:43 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: Have a nice trip! Nov 16, 2024 8:41:09 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: Just finished Ys X. I'll write up my thoughts when I get a chance. Nov 21, 2024 15:49:57 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: Looking back over my previous Ys rankings, it's funny how most of the numbered entries are ranked in descending order: VI > Seven > VIII > IX. So, does Ys X buck the trend?? 🤔 Nov 21, 2024 15:55:24 GMT -5
