   The Nintendo Museum opened up yesterday, and tickets are randomly picked lottery style. I honestly can't tell if they did this out of greed or they knew that this place would be extremely crowded as there are no plans for one outside of Japan.

   Honestly, other than being in a former Nintendo factory, this place doesn't seem special at all. It's no different to a Video Game Museum in Texas that I've been to. In fact, I think they copied the whole "play retro games with giant controllers" from the giant Pong console in that museum.

     @berkberkman I always loved wood-paneled wall basements. I wish I had one growing up. Technically, I did, but they walls have always been painted over.

     I went to that museum back in 2016. It was nice, but it was filled with information I already knew. The only souvenir I bought from there was a shitty, USB, NES gamepad because it was the only thing I could afford and I thought I could use it for gamedev, but the D-pad is registered as an analog stick on most devices, for whatever reason, which makes it extremely difficult to use or program for.

     @xianc78 I went to that Video Game Museum in Frisco a while ago, and I'd say it was worth a look. It might've been homely for some parts, but at least I was able to see several classic games running like the Vectrex and Atari 2600 in person. My personal favorite thing about the museum was the fact they have a recreation of a room that represented the 80s. There was also one for the 70s. I'm glad that was preserved, as I'm somebody who has hardly seen stuff like that when I was a kid.

     @beardalaxy I don't think companies should be obligated to re-release everything. Sure, it would be nice if they did, especially if the consoles or physical media they are on are rapidly dying or were on some obscure service like the Satellaview, but those are cases were most people agree that piracy is morally acceptable for those cases.

     Even Nintendo doesn't seem to go after people who redistribute Satellaview ROMs. They probably realize that it is extremely unlikely that those games will ever be officially rereleased, so they turn a blind eye to them.

     @xianc78 oh yeah i don't think companies should be obligated to rerelease everything either. i just think that if a certain amount of time has gone by without the company selling them, it shouldn't be illegal for them to be distributed freely. wishful thinking.
