I am a fan of both Nintendo and some old Maxis games. I never played SimTunes, the cool little game where you make music by letting things wobble around the screen, but check out this!
"SimTunes: Originally a Super Nintendo game called Sound Fantasy. It was completely finished and almost ready to ship when Nintendo pulled the plug on the project. It is a music game that is a successor to Mario Paint. A nice tool for "painting" music. You program lots of bugs that make music as they move and interact."
How did Maxis buy this one?
SimTunes was released in 1996.
Weird.

It's true... Nintendo actually had the completed game ready, but decided against publishing it at the last second. Maybe Mario Paint didn't do that well after all? Who knows.

So the game was snatched up by Maxis for SimTunes, simple.

And now the guy who developed Sound Fantasy has developed Electroplankton, and Nintendo has finally published him. Whooooo!

Nester the Lark: Also, I know YL isn't into speedruns, but he might be interested to know that RPG Limit Break is having a Gust marathon all weekend, including several Atelier games. Sept 25, 2020 22:01:18 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: Ah… Bad timing. I didn't read this until now, when it's almost over. Sept 27, 2020 12:59:22 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: Well, if you're still interested, they'll be uploading the replays to their YouTube channel later this week. Sept 27, 2020 17:58:41 GMT -5

Shrikeswind: I like that Mayles put her back in her kneepads. What's the last game they were in? One of the Kongas? It was a good look for her, albeit very 90's. Oct 4, 2020 19:37:15 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: I bet Nintendo will be having another interesting discussion, this time with Mr. Sakurai. Oct 14, 2020 17:41:12 GMT -5

Shrikeswind: The jokes call to me, their siren song a temptation I can hardly bear, yet I must stay my tongue. Confound my dirty sense of humor. Oct 16, 2020 13:05:51 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: The replies I see to anything Nintendo posts on Twitter are probably an indication as to why they abandoned Miiverse and decided that social media should be someone else's responsibility. Oct 20, 2020 16:48:02 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: Boo! Oct 30, 2020 15:59:14 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: As mentioned in Twitter, I'm currently playing Atelier Meruru DX. I'm thinking about writing reviews for the Arland series afterwards, as well as making a second Nintendo Switch review video after I finish either this or my next game. Nov 7, 2020 8:46:05 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: ^ I would be interested in seeing your reviews of the Arland games. Nov 7, 2020 10:56:31 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: So, there's been Hyrule Warriors and Fire Emblem Warriors. But guys, how about this: Punch-out Warriors! It's like Punch-out, but you fight all of your opponents at once! Nov 12, 2020 12:12:00 GMT -5

Shrikeswind: Sounds punchy, but unless it's a real knock-out I don't think it'd be a hit. Nov 15, 2020 16:11:31 GMT -5

Shrikeswind: You know, you'd figure eventually I'd get a hang of the whole "personal tradition" thing. You'd figure. Dec 2, 2020 11:03:35 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: Steve Mayles has created another new Donkey Kong Country 2 artwork to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the game. Dec 4, 2020 11:55:47 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: Did you ever spend a lot of time writing a big forum post, and then not post it because you felt like you were just rambling about nothing? Dec 15, 2020 16:03:14 GMT -5

Shrikeswind: That's practically a daily occurrence for me. And not just forum posts, but YouTube and Imgur comments, Reddit posts, Discord messages... Dec 16, 2020 22:53:58 GMT -5

Shrikeswind: BTW, updated the Christmas thread with the 2016 and 2018 playlists. Dec 16, 2020 22:54:45 GMT -5

Boo Destroyer: Suck it, Half-Life 3. Dec 21, 2020 11:54:59 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: January 17 is the 1-year anniversary of Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE Encore, so I'll just take this opportunity to say that I like Tsubasa's cover of "Reincarnation" better than Kiria's original. Jan 16, 2021 11:54:58 GMT -5 *
