Might be a hot take but even if Nintendo releases N64, GCN, and Wii games in a legally playable state, I'd still recommend instead just modding the original games using game-altering codes.
They give such a breath of fresh air to these games; even if you disregard the crazier codes out there, some codes are really QoL changes that can seem small but really do make older games more enjoyable.
For instance Mario Party 4-7 have codes that increase speeds of each turn, skip the intros, alter the minigames you play, enable widescreen display. They also enable plenty of granular options that Nintendo wouldn't ever put in their games such as turning off the music, changing the coins blue and red spaces give/deduct or even reverse the behavior, enabling handicaps for certain players, change star prices, change minigame rewards, and so on. Some may be cheats but others are just options to toy around but really do increase the replay value of these games so much more.
I consider "LeftyGreenMario" now a former name. Please call me "LeftyGemsMagpie" now, but you can still call me "Lefty" or "LGM" for short but starting today, please slowly try to wean off the original words behind "LGM".
One thing I noticed growing up: Why are kids in school textbooks always photographed smiling while doing class activities??? It doesn't make me want to smile or do classwork more.
I do wonder how southern hemisphere residents feel that they certainly "the other" on the internet when all seasonal promotions are pretty much the opposite of what they're actually experiencing outside. Or the equator folks where there are no seasons.
I try to come up with Mario & Luigi game nicknames
"Mario & Luigi: Coop d'État" where it's about the two bros joining a chicken uprising against the Bowser Farm company. The wordplay is on "coup" but also the chicken coop and the fact Mario and Luigi cooperate and help the chickens replace Bowser's Koupa Co with a cooperative. There is a hawk character named 'Cooper' who works for Bowser. Looks suspiciously like an accipiter. There may or may not be a chicken named Ginger. Also "Koopa" kinda sounds like coop.
For them to live through their short life span of 10-20 years, you just need space for a 28+ gallon tank (bigger is better) that's at least 4 feet long so the fish can grow to its proper length at over 1 foot long and the tank has been already cycled for several weeks with a strong filter to deal with the high ammonia and help oxygenate the water, and the temperatures are kept low. Extra fish will be just 10 extra gallons, some goldfish can get lonely.
Don't put them in bowls, that's just putting a baby in a portapotty for life.
