In case the scale renderings weren't illustrative, this is just how small the GC Nano is https://www.reddit.com/r/Gamecube/comments/13u8km5/worlds_sm...
Seems... large? I was expecting something substantially smaller than a flip foldable phone.

One factor (surprisingly I've seen this mentioned by a video game guy on youtube few years ago) is the disbelief made by non game visual art. Game boxes, booklets, they bootstraped the imagination. Handmade art was 100x more detailed than 8bit games yet we didn't care having a low res 8bit characters because we were already mentally in the world displayed on paper. I do sincerly miss the limited rendering aspect of o…

It's actually a golden age for fun video games, because we are swimming in new beautiful, engaging, original titles every year. Some things really take you by surprise as well. I never saw Inscryption, Disco Eliseum or Hades coming, and I think nobody did. And even oldish games still have great value. I still play LoL or Isaac, and they are as good as they were on day 1. Plus, you get the Switch then the Deck refresh…
Inscryption is a must play.
But it's such a weird combination of aesthetic, story telling and gameplay I have to assume it prevents a huge part of the gaming population from enjoying it.
If anybody read those comments, DO NOT LOOK THE GAME UP if you plan to play it. Go blind.

Using the word "nintendo" on something intended to play any kind of games is trademark infringement. The Kawaii devs likely don't intend to confuse people, but if a consumer saw this product for sale they'd rightly assume it's a Nintendo product. Using a brand name like this just makes things easier when Nintendo attorneys barely have to roll out of bed when sending a cease and desist order. Just call it Kawaii and s…
Some of these console mods only really get sold as kits or products on places like Aliexpress. Needless to say, they are pretty safe from Nintendo. If these guys aren't selling the schematics, and posting them for free, Nintendo has a lot less of a leg to stand on.
And they will use the logo as a way in.

Using Nintendo’s branding in the box seems ill-advised. That’s giving Nintendo more fodder for the eventual lawsuit.
I wonder if there’s a reusable Nintendo logo they could extract from the Wii enclosure? It’s incredible how upcyclable the Wii is.
It's not called the Kawii?

Not even close. That would be the Play Station or the Play Station 2.
For pirating games: PS1, PS2, Dreamcast, for sure For straight up modding: definitely the Xbox. The 007 and Mechwarrior bugs blew everything wide open, and the fact that it was just a PC with real (upgradeable!) storage spawned projects like XBMC, now known as Kodi: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kodi_(software) And also piracy was rampant, but not the Swapmagic or Modchip kind. You could just upgrade the drive, _back…

It might not work without the Nintendo logo.
very funny :)

Playstation2 used something similar. ( https://github.com/mlafeldt/ps2logo )
I suppose it gave companies in question additional legal leverage - they could not distribute copies of games without violating the trademark laws.

I assume you mean the suspension of disbelief? I.e. immersion. Suspension is a key word there, as in, your disbelief is halted, allowing you to be immersed.
