This was actually my assumption for the mouse controller Nintendo showed.

The real feature is full pointer support! The built in mouse is a gimmick to introduce full pointer support.

Fred Couples, eh…?

It had never occurred to me that the two were related. Duh!

Wikipedia describes Merry Melodies as a spin-off from Looney Tunes!

The title of Looney Tunes was inspired by Walt Disney’s Silly Symphonies.

“This is my daughter Flu”

This is pretty obscure, but the Game Boy Advance remake of Mario Bros. (Not Super Mario Bros.) is more fun than the original.

You can run, for one thing, and the controls are more responsive in general.

It’s one of the games on Super Mario Advance, and one of the main reasons I originally wanted a GBA when it came out! I had the original Mario Bros. for the NES and thought it would be fun to have a portable version. I was right.

They did a great job updating the game!

The character art at the top of the Steam page is the right kind of unhinged for me!

So basically we could absolutely have a clearly recognizable city builder in the absence of a money system in-game

Not only can we, this is the main way I’ve been playing city builders for a long time! Ever since Sim City 2000, I’ve turned the money off or made it not matter.

I was playing a lot of Final Fantasy VII when it first came out around 1996, and used a paper strategy guide.

I got a one-handed controller (an ASCII Grip that was amazing for old JRPGs. I still miss having it for those kinds of chill games where I don’t feel like I need to be hunching over a controller.

I was always super jealous of this controller but I couldn’t afford it when it first came out!

I love ridiculous controllers.

I happened upon the original for $20 in Wal Mart in 1995 and I’ve been playing it on and off ever since!

One of the best games ever made.

Well you don’t look a day over 21…
