  • Nintendo usually doesn’t do the right thing, but they kept the wii shop working for around 15 years after the console released, which seems reasonable enough, though for how much hosting costs they should still be offering downloads. IIRC you could store downloaded games on an SD cars so you could make a backup. Now the WiiU and 3DS, their online stuff shuttered too early. If I had bought Mariokart 8 digitally for my WiiU and wanted to redownload it, I would be unable, yet Nindendo still sells the same game on their newer switch store. The only Nintendo games I can say I own are the ones decrypted on my NAS that work with FOSS emulators.



















  • They could have made a VR version of the engine that runs in all the same places but shows the editor using OpenXR. It would work with fully open source setups like Monado, but also on compliant android headsets and steamVR.

    EDIT: After reading the article, I realized that this is better replicated by something like wlx-overlay and is replicating desktop style VR development on a mobile platform. Would have liked to see it work on HTC and Pico headsets as well though.
