It's time for me to celebrate the release of the 100th Journal Page by talking about one of the most important games in my gaming journey, Mother 3, and my complicated relationship with it! Why is it so special to me? Let’s find out! Disponibile anche in 🇮🇹
Would this be an acceptable place to discuss 3DS Homebrew and Modding? I know that the subreddit was previously against it, so I don't want to go against the wishes of the Mods of this Nintendo Instance. Thanks!

cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/28549378 > **(MAJOR UPDATE: ONLY 10 HRS REMAIN BEFORE SHUT DOWN AT TIME OF WRITING THIS UPDATE)** > > Hello everyone. For everyone who owns a 3DS, 2DS, or even a Wii U, I'm sharing this out to as many places I can think of, where the awareness can make an impact. Please read if you own a 3DS or Wii U at all, or know anybody who does: > > The SpotPass servers by Nintendo will be shutting down on April 8th, 2024 (4PM PDT). [The SpotPass Archival Project](https://spotpassarchive.github.io/) has been created by the 3DS and Wii U Homebrew modding community, to make sure as much SpotPass data as humanly possible is preserved for the foreseeable future and not lost forever in the coming few days. A huge amount of SpotPass content is essentially free DLC for various games and apps, and they could have been installed without your knowledge. They are not required for most games to play, but without their archival, many games will lose DLC content permanently and some features may no longer work. This archival project can only be made possible by the donations of any individuals owning a 3DS or Wii U (not a donation of money, but rather a donation of SpotPass data stored on your system) > > This data can *only* be collected ***before*** April 8th. Any and all dumps made or sent after the end-date will be *useless* due to the nature of how the archive process works. The dump ***does not*** require you to have a modded or Homebrewed console, and can be done completely unmodded. All you need extra as an unmodded user, is a PC or laptop. There is also zero risk of having your console banned; so rest assured. The guides can be found here: https://spotpassarchive.github.io/#guides. > > *Update: For those who can't recall the difference, what we're archiving here is *Spot*Pass, not *Street*Pass. The difference between the two are: > *StreetPass:* Is a 3DS exclusive *offline* wireless tech which connects your 3DS to other systems and shares various bits of data with random people you pass on the street (in the real world). For example, in the game StreetPass Mii Plaza, the data sent to random passers are your Mii, along with your most recently played game, and your Mii can be played with in the various minigames that StreetPass Mii Plaza offers, and vice versa. > *SpotPass:* Is an *online* wireless tech available on both the 3DS *and* Wii U. Unlike StreetPass, it does not connect to other 3DS systems directly, but rather connects to Nintendo's SpotPass servers online. The data sent could be anything from notifications, to in-game content. This is what we're archiving; *not* *Street*Pass data. Streetpass is not an online service, and thus does not lose content after April 8th; but SpotPass data *will* be lost after the 8th if it's not archived. [Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpotPass_and_StreetPass).* > > Even if you make the dump *before* April 8, and send it to them afterwards, the dump will be useless regardless, this is why we are frantically trying to spread the word about the project as quickly as possible, as there is a lot of data that is still going to go away permanently regardless of the efforts of this project. The data is stored offline locally on your 3DS and Wii U, so you may be confused as to why you can't just make the dump after the date. For a better explanation, [here is a Discord message from the official Discord server which explains things](https://imgur.com/DBgHgTN). I am not a developer of the project, I'm just someone who is passionate about gaming and technology preservation, and wants to get this out there, and the 3DS was a wonderful part of my late childhood. > > The data is going to be used by the developers to put towards developing a replacement for the SpotPass network, similar to what was done by the Homebrew community who created the [Nintendo Network replacement, dubbed "Pretendo Network"](https://pretendo.network/). > > Even if you don't think you have much data on your system, *please* help dump it towards the archive as soon as possible (within the next couple of days), because you likely have some things you don't know about. The process does not require a modded console at all, and the official site [here](https://spotpassarchive.github.io/), has instructions for both users of modded consoles, and users of unmodded consoles. You can ask for help in the official Discord server of the project [here](https://discord.gg/2ddmRKpt) and people will be very willing to help. > > There are also many many niche, lesser known games, which have absolutely no data archived for them still to this day, so any help archiving them is vital. Thanks for reading, and I ask you to also share this out to as many people as you possibly can. Even if you don't own a 3DS or Wii U, please share this out to anyone you know who owns one, or even those whom you suspect might have one. > > ***Edit: added some extra information, removed some no longer relevant information, fixed some typos, improved some wording slightly.***

Wonder, Nintendo confirmed on Friday. Afghani replaces actor Charles Martinet, who provided Mario’s chipper wahoos and it’s-a-mes for more than 25 years. > >Afghani announced his involvement in Super Mario Bros. Wonder on X, formerly known as Twitter, tweeting, “Incredibly proud to have voiced Mario and Luigi in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Thanks to Nintendo for inviting me into the Flower Kingdom!” Nintendo confirmed the role in an email to Polygon. > >On his social media and personal website, Afghani describes himself as a “voice actor and big nerd.” He said he “decided to become a voice actor for a single reason; my absolute love for animation and video games. They are some of the most genuinely exciting forms of art that I have ever seen. Characters that exist only within the context of their media allow this art to transform into a beautifully immersive experience like no other. Whether that experience is fun, bubbly, dark, or moving, this art form is truly amazing and I absolutely had to become a part of it.” > >Afghani’s IMDB credits include voice work on Genshin Impact (as Arnold) and in animated shorts for the YouTube channel Mashed. In other words, he’s a relative newcomer to the business of video game voice acting, despite his major new gig. > >Nintendo announced in August that Martinet would no longer serve as the identifiable voice of Mario beginning with Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Martinet will still work with Nintendo in the role of “Mario Ambassador,” in which he will continue to “travel the world sharing the joy of Mario,” Nintendo said in a statement at the time. > >Mario fans first noticed a change to the voices of Mario (and Wario) in trailers for Super Mario Bros. Wonder and WarioWare: Move It! released this summer. Martinet, 67, had been the exaggerated Italian-flavored voice behind Mario since 1991, when he first started performing for Nintendo at trade shows. He went on to record the character’s voice, for the first time in a Nintendo game, in Super Mario 64, released in 1996. Since then, Martinet has been the voice of Mario in dozens of games, expanding his vocal range to include voices for Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, Baby Luigi, and Baby Mario. > >Earlier this year, actor Chris Pratt voiced Mario in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, with Charlie Day providing the voice of his twin brother Luigi. Martinet cameoed in the Mario movie as Mario and Luigi’s father, and as an original character named Giuseppe.
Now here’s a [#toot](https://mstdn.social/tags/toot) worth [#tooting](https://mstdn.social/tags/tooting) about: [#TromboneChamp](https://mstdn.social/tags/TromboneChamp) now on [#NintendoSwitch](https://mstdn.social/tags/NintendoSwitch) [https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/trombone-champ-switch/](https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/trombone-champ-switch/) [@nintendo](https://lemmy.ml/c/nintendo)
So.. I used to own a DS lite back in the day.. but it broke in my backpack back in my 20’s. I still own my old Pokémon games (heart gold and leaf green) and was hoping to get back into them. DS lite went for $129 in the US back when they came out in 2006.. adjusted for inflation that’s about $195.  I guess I’m wondering if anyone has any experience buying any of these refurbs I’m seeing online. Are these 20 year old consuls worth $160 ? I already tried asking this question on the Nintendo sub Reddit, and no one cared…

It just launched on Steam a moment ago. So it should be available here very soon!

This is going to be an absolute banger for lovers of the series, and 2 months earlier than expected, too! It's a welcome surprise in an era of release delays.

Luigi's voice has actually changed a lot over the last 30 years, and there's a very unexpected reason why!
That The Legend Of Zelda saga has inspired many creatives around the world is not something that should surprise us. After all, the premiere on the Nintendo Entertainment System opened up a collection of games where history played a bigger role, and freedom was a valuable quality that had only the best.

For many, it was a disappointment and for others the best game of all The Legend Of Zelda. The importance of Skyward Sword is so great in the saga, that it is essential to play it if you are a Link fan.
