Proposed New Logos


Ladies and gentlemen, Neo Retro Union is about to unveil its official logo. Here are just three proposed designs that I came up with for the Neo Retro Union logo. Keep in mind that these new logos are just interim designs for the time being.

Which of these three logos should be the official logo? The choice is yours.

More things that are better than Internet Censorship


Author's Note: Once again, I give you another comic about things that are better than Internet Censorship. Only this time, it's about Nintendo-related products that I would rather be than to be someone who censors the Internet for any reason whatsoever.

The Game Boy Micro may have been a commercial failure, but it was the very definition of the super compact handheld console.

The Game Boy Light was basically a Game Boy Pocket with an electroluminescent backlight. Despite being confined to the Japanese market, this handheld console paved the way for the backlight version of the Game Boy Advance SP.

The mediocre sales of the GameCube meant this Nintendo console got almost no love from video game history. However, it managed to sell more units than the Sega Dreamcast. Even the Wii U's sales figures do not go anywhere near the GameCube.

Famicom consoles (Both the original and the redesign) are definitely something I would rather be not because they do not censor the Internet at all, but they have never failed to capture our imagination, even if you have never owned one before.

As the main controllers for the Wii, Wiimotes are definitely good, that's for sure.

Of course I would be better off being a Four-Ball Tee from Animal Crossing. In fact, it became one of Villager's alternate costumes in the Super Smash Bros series.

Pyra's Tiny Shorts are actually very comfy, and they would go well with a pantyhose.

Rare Gems from the Bargain Bin


Author's Note: All copyrights for the items featured in this comic go to their respective owners.

While Dragon's Lair was ported to multiple platforms, it was also available as an interactive game for the DVD Player. Yet, almost nobody who owns a DVD Player bothers to get the game, which would make this item a good find if you can find one in a bargain bin, that is.

The Su Chi Pai OVA was originally below average at best when it first came out, but the passage of time has its way of vindicating history, by having Jaleco fans search for a DVD copy of the Su Chi Pai OVA. The Tekken Motion Picture from 1998 was actually good, and it was better than the live action Tekken Movie. And for those who are looking for DVDs of both OVAs, you might find them as rare items in a bargain bin.

Recently, Wii Party and Wii Party U have been getting a nostalgic resurgence through multiple videos posted on YouTube. The Wii Party series was not destined to be the next Mario Party, but it was better than Mario Party in several ways almost no one took note of. It's a huge shame that Wii Party's lifetime sales are less than Nintendo Switch Sports sales figures as at May 2023. Wii Party U's sales figures ended up doing worse than Wii Music, which was a huge shame. No wonder Nintendo started relegating Miis to the sidelines. Maybe they should stop disrespecting their loyal customers if they want to survive...

If you think Soldam was an Arcade exclusive title, then you have not heard of the Game Boy port of Soldam. This Game Boy game would be very hard to find inside the bargain bin, and even if you find one copy, it would be a very expensive item, even if its price tag has a 90% discount on it.

F-Zero GP Legend has to be the last F-Zero game in the series before F-Zero 99, if you do not count the Japan-only F-Zero Climax. Of course the Game Boy Advance F-Zero GP Legend is a game worth getting for any GameCube owner who still has the GameCube's Game Boy Player.

A Farewell to the eShops


Today is the day the 3DS and Wii U eShops close their doors for good, meaning the Virtual Console service and its emulation of Nintendo's past hardware is officially discontinued. However, the Nintendo Switch Online's Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance emulators are already up and running, with DS and GameCube emulation being considered. To say that Nintendo dislikes emulators is not true. They just do not like unlicensed emulators competing with their official ones.
