Pretty, but 10 seconds of scrolling turned my phone into a space heater.

#22Within a few seconds of loading, Safari gave me a warning: “This webpage is using significant memory. Closing it may improve the responsiveness of your Mac.” Cool site still.
And yet it worked perfectly on my iPad Pro. Can’t wait to get an M1 Mac.
40-45% of one core on my M1 MBP, 20-40% GPU.

#23Reminds me of the type of websites I and a lot of people used to create in flash in the early 2000.
Except this website actually works and sound is default off and you can switch to a more accesible view :)
Still, I kinda miss the creativity of the early web.

#24That’s interesting, my 2015 MbP had glitchy sound, stutter and fans spun right up while my iPhone 7 deals just fine with it.

#25This is the level of creativity I needed this morning.
Unfortunately at the great expenses of usability.

#28Attention: It nearly flipping fried my CPU. But awesome site. Tested On both Safari and Chrome on macOS. 100% CPU usage when scrolling. Edit: On WOW, from the comments I decide to try it on my iPhone 11. Ultra Smooth Rendering with Music ( which wasn't even playing on my Mac ). And my phone isn't even warm after a minutes of playing around. Amazing Which makes me wonder. Why?
It’s kinda ridiculous that this happens. It’s not like it’s graphic intensive. Why would it warm up any GPU of this decade?

#29Wow! New home page. OMG. When will they make this a minecraft plug-in viewer.

#30Besides being a beautiful website, I was rather touched by their call to action:
"Seeking stability only clouds your soul. Fear of failing only kills the seeds of innovation. We must create a more exciting future where people feel free to dream and leap into a world of possibilities. We must create a freer future where people are eager to truly live."
It's hard not to love Nintendo.
Also TLDR for those that didn't scroll through the whole thing, this family wants to use their wealth to fund business ventures in Japan. For those unfamiliar, Japan has had a so-called "Great Stagnation" since the 90s. Population has declined, GDP growth is slow and puttering, and some are saying that Japan has lost the edge it had in the 80s.
This sounds like the Yamauchi family's attempt to bootstrap and create an ecosystem of ventures to reinvigorate entrepreneurship in Japan and their way of giving back.
