    Someone 3D printed a tripod for the Super Nintendo so you can webcam.

    The Super Tripod comes from Chris Graue and Drew Van Oort — it lets you angle a Game Boy Camera plugged into a Super Game Boy plugged into a Super Nintendo (yes!) plugged into a capture card, all so you can pipe Game Boy video to your PC.

    Does this mean trolling your co-workers on calls? Yes! Filming bespoke music videos for your band? Also yes and it’s SO fun! Find the STL at Printables.

    Love how it uses an ordinary 1/4”-20 nut (no heat-set inserts required) and puts no friction on the SNES itself!

    The Lenovo Legion Go just added custom fan curves and integrated driver updates.

    I had to download patches manually from Lenovo’s website just last week. Looking forward to never doing that again! I’m not sure what else is in Legion Space 1.2.7, as the company hasn’t issued a changelog yet, but previous updates brought joystick deadzone and sensitivity adjustments for example. There was a new graphics driver in December.

    Go read how Bowser’s life is hard after his Nintendo crimes.

    Gary Bowser, that is — the man who was caught selling modchips for the Switch among other consoles, spent two years in prison, and will be paying Nintendo back for the rest of his life.

    Former Kotaku EIC Patricia Hernandez caught up with him in this story for The Guardian, and it’s a humanizing read. It’s easy to joke about Bowser stealing from Nintendo; it’s harder to hear about his current plight.

    The Mario vs. Donkey Kong demo just hit Nintendo Switch.

    Guess I know what my kids and I are playing tonight! Looks just our speed.

    (They sure as heck aren’t playing Sony’s stealth-dropped free Silent Hill.)

    PHYSINT is the working title of Hideo Kojima’s new not-a-Metal-Gear game.

    In case you missed the tease at the end of Sony’s State of Play, Kojima revealed he’s got a “next-generation action espionage” game in development — and then the entire livestream ended by zooming out to show the “PHYSINT” logo you see below. We checked, and it’s not trademarked, despite the TM sign you see. Thankfully, we didn’t have to wait long to find out what it means.

    The Asus ROG Ally is getting AMD’s Fluid Motion Frames — the Lenovo Legion Go might too.

    The tech works on DX11 and DX12 games and adds fake frames. It is not a silver bullet for low-perf handhelds: it can add so much lag AMD only suggests it for games running 60fps or better.

    But this Filterless video shows it’s more nuanced than that. In the right games, you could save considerable battery or add noticeable smoothness. The ROG Ally will get it “as soon as possible”; Lenovo is “looking at how to properly implement” it.
