"Besides being a beautiful website". I think my beauty standards are terribly outdated since the last thing I would say about that website is that it is beautiful. Let me list my concerns: 1. It plays sound in the background 2. It is horrible cluttered, the only missing thing are those '90 animated torches and blinking text (but those moving blocks are even more annoying, what is an achievement in itself) 3. It is to…
If you open the menu you can switch to the boring straightline view.
This goes beyond cute pixel art.
Reading text without straining your neck muscles and pinching nerves is boring now?

#123Besides 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 sc…
As a non-native who has lived in Japan for many years, but then moved to another country in Asia... I disagree with the regular stream of negative English language news about Japan. It is still a wonderful culture, people, and country.
And ignore the "GDP" stuff. You will read the same about Italy in English language newspapers. And (South) Korea. Both are also beautiful countries with great food and very high quality of life.
I look at overall GDP less than GDP-per capita. The best metric in my mind is historical median salary. This gives a great idea of how middle class people live. As long as it holds steady and inflation is zero, then quality of life does not decline. The truth is that Japan has microscopic growth (~1% per year) combined with annual population decline of ~0.5% per year. Those two together should mean quality of life is still increasing a little bit each year. And, yes, each year that I return to Tokyo, I feel it is still improving.

It's the Japanese version of "changing the world with disruptive incredible journeys".

#125Attention: 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 hogs my latest Firefox into being almost totally unresponsive. It takes minutes after closing a tab to recover.
Worked amazing on Firefox for Android.

It's so rare to hear about Japanese startups - either becoming successful within Japan or outside. Are other mature East Asian countries going through a similar phase?
Are you unfamiliar with Rakuten? It's like Amazon for Japan. Some people might also consider Softbank (the mobile phone division) and SBI Securities (its securities division, under 'Strategic Business Innovator Group'). How about Line? It's the biggest mobile chat app in Japan.
Other people can comment more on this one: The number of small start-up game studios must be astonishing. Japan seems to have an endless appetite for video games! For publishing, they will team-up with a major, like Sony.

#127Not sure about anyone of you but in my case the experience is terrible. Initial load 3.7 secs, then additional assets were downloaded +7secs. And this all just to show the button "Enter" which was unresponsive. After waiting for a couple more seconds background appeared. At this point I've spent 10 seconds on a site. FYI I'm on 16'mbp so there is more than enough processing power. Maybe it is because of 11MB the webs…
I'm on Android running the latest beta of Firefox and after an initial black screen for a second or two, the website operates quite smoothly. I have seen quite a few comments from people on Macbooks that have a terrible experience with the website, though, so maybe the problem is related to that? It could be that the GPU isn't great at rendering the specific code path this website hits, or that the network card hits…
I also had a good user experience on Android and Firefox.

Genuinely curious: How did you figure it out?

But isn’t it the strict control of brand and image that make those characters so enjoyed. If you let anyone do anything they can change/misrepresent the brand in an irreversible way... just like Pepe...
I have no issue with companies shutting down content that could be seen as harming their image. But the vast majority of fan content is complimentary. For example, do you think a Twitch stream of a retro game is somehow harming or misrepresenting Nintendo's brand?
Nintendo is historically HUGE on being family-friendly and controlling their image.
Streamers telling raunchy jokes, dressing sexily and/or swearing while playing a Mario game probably does hurt Nintendo's brand, at least in their eyes.
There's a reason Smash Brothers Ultimate's online mode only has voice chat in private rooms through a smartphone app.

Woah, you are right! I just checked my Chrome task manager (Shift+Esc on Linux). It is never less than 50% CPU at top of page in 3D mode. If I scroll, it jumps to > 100% CPU! The tab is using 250MB of RAM. And to think I am working on a ridiculously over-powered workstation w/ 3.8 GHz cores & 4K screens!
