This is another post about programming, which I almost never write about. Click here to jump straight to trying this thing out for yourself. In my previous post on Threads, I made an offhand comparison: Threads are just emulator save states, coupled with a condition upon which they will be resumed.

Over the past month, I have lost myself in multiple Nintendo worlds. I explored Super Nintendo World inside Epic Universe, the new theme park in Orlando. I was immersed in the new games arriving for the Nintendo Switch 2. I even watched the Super Mario Bros. movie on the Apple Vision Pro in 3D. Nintendo feels like it's crossing between worlds itself lately. The cool Power-Up Bands visitors wear in the new theme park also work as Amiibo -- Nintendo's toys that unlock gameplay -- on the Switch. T

The upcoming Switch 2 launch title Mario Kart World was originally intended for the OG Switch console, according to an interview with the game's developers . This was the goal until the dev team realized that the console couldn't handle it. "It was difficult for us to incorporate everything we wanted, so we were always conscious of what we were giving up in return,” said programming director Kenta Sato. A big sticking point seemed to be that the original Switch would have had to run the game at

Nintendo’s latest entry in its “ask the developer” interview series has some fun new details about the Switch 2 launch title Mario Kart World. Among the many things discussed is an explanation for why the game isn’t called Mario Kart 9, despite being a sequel to the best-selling Mario Kart 8 — and it has to do with the game’s approach to open-world design. “If the idea had just been to add more courses, then I think we would’ve called it Mario Kart 9,“ explained producer Kosuke Yabuki. “But, th

Once a project using the DotnetSnes.Core library is compiled, the resulting DLL is transpiled to C using the Dotnet To C transpiler (dntc).

I've been called a masochist at times, and it's probably true. About 9 months ago I had an idea that the Nim language is able to get pretty wide hardware/OS support for "free" by compiling the language to C, and then letting standard C compilers take it from there. I theorized that the same could be done for .net, allowing .net code to be run on platforms without having to build native runtimes, interpretors, or AOT for each one individually.

The Nintendo Switch 2’s high price point came as a surprise, and not a pleasant one, when it was revealed after the console’s Direct. The console itself is going to cost $450 at launch, $500 if it comes bundled with launch title Mario Kart World. It also revealed that World will cost $80. This seemed like a huge jump up in price from Nintendo’s previous titles, and potentially one that players couldn’t afford. Is this going to be the norm going forward?

A new Mario Kart is usually built around some kind of notable feature. Double Dash added co-op play, while the DS iteration let you play other people online. With Mario Kart 8, it was gravity-defying tracks and, later, the idea of expanding the game through DLC courses. With Mario Kart World, perhaps the biggest launch title for the Nintendo Switch 2, there isn’t one single innovation that sets it apart.
