Munkyfun’s Cory Bloyd knows his video game hardware. He’s a longtime programmer who has been involved with hardware introduced nearly two decades ago, up through consoles we’re playing today.
Some of Bloyd’s experience includes the N64 and GameCube, though he didn’t work with the latter system too much. In any case, you can take a look at his comments below, which include lots of technical talk – just as you’d expect!

A new, limited edition Kid Icarus: Uprising AR card is available in Japan. Nintendo is distributing the special card (pictured above) between July 31 and August 31.
The image takes inspiration from the Kid Icarus float that was a part of the Tachi Neputa Festival last year.
Fans can pick up the card at Panasonic Center’s Nintendo GameFront area in Tokyo.
