I am covering EVERY First Person Shooter EVER made in Japan.

From 1985 to 2025, that's over 40 years and 70 games of gaming history.

This was without a doubt the most ambitious video I've ever made.

It’s ageing backwards! I much prefer the look over Echoes of Wisdom for example!

Thanks to @sharkabytes.bsky.social reminding me this game existed a while back, I finally got it running on my Pal wii!

So excited to see how it compares to Excite Truck, one of my fave games on the system!

Saw my dad earlier, he said he's happy I showed off the CRT he got for me, said he's looking forward to the episode about stretch marks.....

...

... He meant Scanlines

Power Gloves! Would make moving CRT’s around much easier 😂

He’s ready to give them a 2 hour lecture on the intricacies of Kirby Air Riders mechanics 😂

Thought I’d lost this box for my Vita! So glad I managed to find it, because it’s got insanely expensive over the years 😮

YOU NEED TO PLAY CRISIS CORE!! Also it’s weird I loved Revenant Wings but I’ve never played 12 :O Need to change that, I think 12 looks really good!

I haven’t played all the mainline entries, so my FF tastes may be a little strange…

Working on a Project Diva retrospective!

The 10th anniversary edition of Future Tone DX comes with a Blu-ray with PV’s from all the previous games! The PSP ones are low quality but everything else is HD.

It’s a cool way to watch your favourite PV’s outside the games!

10th anniversary edition of Future Tone DX for PS4

The only Future Tone DX video on there, “39”

Discs 2 & 3 (containing videos from F & F2nd, and X HD and Future Tone)
