Hey just saw that Rodrigo just posted an update to his website with a in depth breakdown of the PS3's architecture. I think you guys will find it really interesting here's a link. https://www.copetti.org/writings/consoles/playstation-3/ He's also got articles posted on that site about a lot of other consoles from the third to seventh generation.
From what I've heard regarding Paper Mario: the first is great, the second is better, the third is okay and then the franchise goes right down the toilet. Only ever played the original but I really liked it.
Interesting that the Virtual Console materializes earlier here.

Looking good so far! Also, that DS in this timeline is impressive!
Ok, show me what you got! Maybe a mix between OTL’s Puyo Puyo Fever 2 and Puyo Puyo! 15th Anniversay?
Fixed for ya mate, SPM was how a platformer Mario would have worked as an Arpg and was very hilarious and unique, would have worked very well as a traditional 2D Mario too. Sticker star was like trying to keep that original style and failing to deliver it
You've to change this, SDHC hadn't even be fully standardized yet, meaning were using the old SD with a maximum of 2GB like OTL wii
Good catch. Though you're only half right about the OTL Wii. The Wii initially only supported SD Cards but the Wii's 4.0 update allows support for SDHC.
This is an easy fix.
I thought that was via hardware but seems did works via software too, nice catch and find too
^^^^So the third one is like a traditional 2D Mario game, you say? Might have to look into it then...
Nice to see a different version of the DS ITTL. Makes me wonder if I'd be more comfortable with the circlepad since when I got my 3DS I preferred to use the D pad for some reason. This would change later on but ITTL with the original DS having the circle pad this universe's version of me would probably be more comfertable.
If Anything that reduce the need for a DSi unless Nintendo pull a new3ds and launch a DSi with more ram and newer CPU so could download games faster and could play game directly downloaded from the eshop.
Oh boy a Nintendo DS that debuted with much better online functionality and a analog stick to boot would definitely change up the lifespan and games that eere developed for it. By the time of TTL’s DS’s successor would get announced, I wonder what it would look like? Who knows if it’ll still be called a 3DS depending on if Nintendo is still obsessed with 3D ITTL.
Quick question, but for Puyo Puyo Fever DS, are there unlockable skins based on Kirby's Avalanche and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine?

Starting development almost immediately after development of Puyo Puyo Fever finished. Originally a simple sequel to Fever, when Yuji Naka suggested the game be a pack-in title for the DS the team expanded and went into overdrive to make sure the game not only made launch day but to make Puyo Puyo Fever DS one of the best Puyo Puyo games yet. Expanding the roster to include the original Puyo Puyo cast and adding a number of gameplay modes. Kirby and Dr. Eggman appear as special guest fighters due to older Puyo Puyo games being reskinned to their series in the past. Dr. Mario also appears because Miyamoto “Thought it would be funny for Dr. Mario to pop Puyos like he pops pills”. The end result is one of the most memorable Puyo Puyo titles to date. Including the game with the Nintendo DS helped push the Puyo Puyo series to fame outside of Japan and becoming what Nintendo consideres a “Major Franchise”.
Puyo Puyo Fever DS is one of the best-selling Puyo Puyo games. Including bundled copies Puyo Puyo Fever DS has sold over 120 million copies, making it the best-selling game of all time until being dethroned by Grand Theft Auto V and Minecraft. As of 2020 Puyo Puyo Fever DS is 3rd Best Selling Game of all time.
Gameplay
The game’s menu is a map of Primp Town which divides the various gameplay modes by buildings.
Town Hall: The location of the Player Ranking, Minigames, and Options.
Magic School: Story Mode is located here. Amitie, Raffina, Sig, Arle, Schezo, and Draco all have their own unique story. Amitie, Raffina, and Sig also have a short tutorial story where they all battle each other with their semifinal opponent being Feli and their last opponent being Klug.
Nohoho’s Shop: You can buy items for use in single player matches here. There are also purchasable Puyo skins and backgrounds. Nohoho, as the name implies, runs the store.
Museum: The museum is where you can listen to the game’s soundtrack, watch Story Mode’s cutscenes, and read books in the library that give lore.
Playground: The spot for all multiplayer modes both local wireless and online. DS Download Play is also supported. The multiplayer modes are.
Fever Battle: All characters have unique dropsets and build up a Fever Meter to enter Fever Rush.
Classic Battle: The classic Puyo Puyo Tsu ruleset, all characters have the same dropsets.
Mission Battle: Players are given various tasks to complete. Whoever completes the most tasks wins.
Trap Battle: This mode plays the same as Fever Mode, but instead of Fever Rush having large chains, the chains are very small. This reverses the value of Fever Rush as the player is unable to create large chains and is unable to offset the larger chains outside of Fever Rush essentially turning the Fever Rush into a trap.
Tower: The location of single-player challenge modes, including.
Endless Fever: An endless Fever Rush.
Endless Mission: An endless single player version of Mission Battle.
Endless Classic: An endless single player version of Classic Battle.
Endless Battle: The player goes up against opponents without stopping.
Plot Synopsis
A senior student of Primp Magic School named Lemres comes back from an errand that Ms. Accord sent him on (Explaining the new character’s absence in the previous Puyo Puyo Game). Lemres has 3 magic items to deliver to Ms. Accord, the Stone of Moon, the Lantern of Star, and the Bookmark of Sun. But something goes wrong when Lemres encounters Klug. When Klug takes one the Bookmark of Sun in order to increase his books magical potential, the bookmark violently reacts when Klug puts it in his book resulting in an explosion of magical energy. Klug begins acting “Strange” after the magical explosion and flees off to parts unknown.
Meanwhile Schezo and Draco find themselves teleported to another world. They quickly find Arle who has been stuck in the Fever world for a while now. Arle says that she saw a huge burst of magical energy and suggests they split up to figure out what’s happening.
Amitie Route
Amitie searches for Klug but ends up coming across Dark Prince who brags that Primp Town is the perfect honeymoon spot for him and Arle and the burst of magical energy caused by the incident with Klug allowed him to travel here in pursuit of Arle, though he mentions the spell “worked a bit too well” as it brought the rest of the Original Puyo cast along with him. Amitie calls him a weirdo and fights him, believing he’s the cause for Klug acting strangely. After defeating Dark Prince, Amitie finds Klug (Having been freed earlier from Possessed Kulg’s encounter with Draco) who relents that he never should’ve taken that bookmark. They both decide to go back to the school, having a good laugh while doing so.

Raffina Route
After Klug disappears Lemres asks Raffina to help him find the 3 magical items. Raffina is completely disinterested, telling him to go find them himself. He convinces her to help one of the magical items the Stone of the Moon by inserting the fact that it is said to improve one's complexion, upon hearing this Raffina immediately leaves to go find it. She eventually comes across Dark Prince who has the Stone of the Moon. When Raffina demands he hand it over Dark Prince refuses, saying it’s a honeymoon gift for Arle. After beating Dark Prince and taking the Stone of the Moon she returns to Lemres and says she got the stone, but that it doesn’t seem to work. Lemres compliments her complexion and that the stone definitely worked. Raffina rejoices as Lemres heads back to Feli, revealing to Feli that the Stone of the Moon doesn’t actually do anything for one’s complexion and he just lied to get her to retrieve it. Feli chastises Lemres for lying but he rebuttals by saying that a great magician is an expert at trickery.

Ms. Accord gives him a note on how to help Klug return to himself and sends him off to find her. Along the way he comes across Prince Salde, the Ocean Prince in his human form. Wanting to return to his fish form Salde bribes Sig with free meals and naps in order to have him help find the Lantern of Star, which he needs to transform back into a fish again. Sig isn’t tempted by Saldes offer but he agrees since he needed to get the Lantern of Star anyway. Sig ends up coming across Dark Prince, who has the Lantern of Star. Dark Prince claims to have found it after losing his previous honeymoon gift (The Stone of Moon) for Arle. After Sig defeats Dark Prince he takes the Lantern of Star. Salde grabs the lantern, turning back into the Ocean Prince. Though Sig still needs to find Arle and give her Ms. Accord’s note. Amitie and Klug just happen to show up, Sig tells Amitie that he has a note from Ms. Accord to give her but “It’s pointless now.” and throws away the note. Amitie, Sig, and Klug all watch as the Ocean Prince returns to the ocean only for the Ocean Prince to be eaten by a whale.

Yes. Also, I didn't expect Dr. Mario to also be in the game, which was a nice bonus.
Plus, the fact that Kirby and Eggman are actually playable in this game was even better than I thought.
Very telling, means it wasn't even debundled, counting out some speciality bundles
Skins for the Puyos don't seem to be a thing yet. So I straight up included Kirby and Eggman as playable characters with Dr. Mario as a bonus.
It's like Wii Sports in that regard.
And if you want to compare numbers. From what I can gather, ITTL Puyo Puyo Fever DS on it's own has outsold the Entire OTL Puyo Puyo Series 5 times over.
In that case, I hope the three of them retain their playable status when skins become a thing. Heck, I actually want to see Lip from Panel de Pon as the next guest character.
So, Arle Nadja for Smash?
