Blimey, GBAtemp's been going for 44 years!? ..Oh wait, I just felt 70 years old rolling out of bed this morning, wish I still had a 26 year olds hangover! Yup, 48 years old at this moment - old fart! But not the oldest on here!
Advice of the day...
I feel like the later New Soup games felt like level packs for a pre-established Mario engine, and if you go into them with that kind of outlook they're generally quite enjoyable. New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe was my favourite 2D Mario game prior...
I watched some youtuber or other show the floaty mechanics of the New SMB games compared to Super Mario World - letting go of the pad while running right at the same speeds (ish) in both games: Mario stops dead in World almost instantly, but...
Good grief, you're running your Wii in 50hz?! Get that shit sorted, root around for a better HDMI converter or something.. can you not use component? Even unofficial cables would do the job...

Phil Spencer...
A good theory, no doubt about it. But a better theory is Gamefreak simply isn't big enough to pull of a game the size of Pokemon, with current gen scope/expectations, in 1-2 years. Current gen games require upwards of 5 years to make. It boggles...
@Veho, Sounds and smells like bullshit. They don't give you cancer, and California should know that. I don't get why they stick labels that say "may or may not cause reproductive harm or cancer".
I swear like 99% of arcade games wouldn't even exist these days outside of MAME the arcade machines are old and busted very few ever saw any sort of home conversion
I mean if a company could use AI to do the work of a home conversion for essentially free why not? The rights for some games are completely lost though
