"We have no intention of expanding" - Miyamoto
Feels like a missed opportunity, since Nintendo is loved all around the world, a museum in USA / CAN / UK / AUS / etc. would always be packed with fans.
Kyoto is already overrun by tourists as it is. It would probably make sense if Japan finds a way to spread tourism out over more locations instead of just the Kansai region (Osaka, Kyoto) and Tokyo, to both alleviate the burden of tourism on those two area, while bringing more interest and thus tourism money to other areas.
Of course, that’s not something Nintendo needs to concern itself with right now, and it makes sense that they stick with 1 museum for the time-being, and in their home-city of Kyoto.
I’m also not sure how big the appeal for a Nintendo museum would be elsewhere in the world. Many tourists flock to Japan BECAUSE of the (pop-) culture, so they are interested in anime, videogames, etc. So Pokemon Centers and Nintendo Stores are very popular, always bustling with tourists who spend a lot of money there, and obviously a Nintendo museum in Kyoto then makes perfect sense.
But generally speaking, folks don’t visit a Paris or New York for it’s pop-culture, so a Nintendo museum would make less sense. Not saying a video-games museum wouldn’t/couldn’t work, I believe it could, but I think in the west it would make more sense to open a museum with a broader spectrum of videogame-exhibits, so not ‘just’ a Nintendo museum, but something much wider in terms of scope …
Recently Skewed and Reviewed spoke with Ali (½ of Boxed Ape) about the music for The Casting of Frank Stone.

Wow... that DQ III HD 2D remake is what Id love to see done to the Lunar collection remaster.
@obscured: “Let´s Go”
I agree let’s go stop spinning the wheels in place.
I’ll watch it when I get home and properly comment on it till then good lock with that.
@baba: “ Down votes for being excited?? 😂😂”
No no no no way it’s for been a hardcore militant Xbox fan that keeps making new accounts to troll PlayStation games and be offensive to the max
Anyway I just finished watching it and it was a decent show catered to the Japanese PC and fire stick market 🤦🏿 they even said you don’t need a console to play their games on GP😱
Oh well RIP XBOX next console 😢 you been setup to fail HARD before your time to shine.
I'm sure we will see the same recycled rumour from xbox bloggers pop up again next TGS or gamescom till they finally get it right.
I would assume that the game is locked to PS5 console for at least a Year and maybe two like Forspoken... btw, that may be coming to Xbox soon as the deal should be expiring in about 5 months.
They have a deal with Sony on that one plus it would take a lot of work to port to the series consoles. The game hardly hits 60 fps on the base PS5 in performance mode. They would have to figure something out to work on the series S.
There is nothing to figure out, the S would run in its graphics mode... no performance mode option. Having two modes is not required between S & X.
Threads of Time looked amazing! At least SOMEONE is giving Chrono Trigger love. Square-Enix obviously couldn't care any less about that series these days.
Also, people that were complaining about MGS Delta's The Boss' face design. I think she looked fantastic in this new trailer. Curious if these new shots have changed the way any of those people felt about it. I do still think Snake's face is a little off. I don't know how to put it, it just feels a little too wide or something. Either way, better believe I'm getting it day one! I've put off the urge to go back through Snake Eater recently in anticipation of this.
At this rate, if The Last Guardian releases with any bugs whatsoever, it's going to be scrutinized for it. I want to believe this will be a great game like Shadow of the Colossus, but I'm losing confidence more and more with each delay. I understand that "delays are a good thing" but at some point, even that excuse runs dry.
