My cherished personal gaming feat: GBA Astro Boy: Tetsuwan Atom Omega Factor Hard Mode CLEAR! It was worth facing so many deaths in achieving that feat especially. It remains a personal GBA favorite and one of my favorite Treasure games. A neat gateway into checking out Tezuka Osamu’s other works!

Wikis: Taito invented Body Sonic when they made Darius in 1986
AI: The term Body Sonic refers to a haptic feedback system developed by the Japanese video game company Taito
Reality: Body Sonic was released by Pioneer in 1980 & Namco had deluxe Pole Position 2's using it in 1982

with so many games from the 8-bit era, I think “knowing what I know now, this would have a been a cool time to be around for game dev.” (yes, caveats, etc)
I wonder if 40 years from now folks will same the same about the last decade? Not for me to know, of course, but an interesting exercise.

My favourite stupid thing about AI is how DESPERATE it comes across.
Every new AI feature tech bros add to programs that make it worse? They make the icons for it all rainbows and glitter to draw your eye like “PLEASE USE ME AND PAY FOR A SUBSCRIPTION WE’RE LOSING SO MUCH MONEY”

Bit off topic but did this enemy ever appear in SOTN? It's not Gaibon & the room is where you fight Legion
The pic's from a 1995 preview, so a couple of years before the finished game. I don't remember him but I'm no expert & haven't played the game in years

I am excited to hear Sektori is good, and that it handles it's Rogue and RNG elements very well. And plan to dive into it one day
But I can't help but wish this sort of "roguelite (but secretly very arcadey)" was not the only channel Arcade games are allowed to exist in

crazy how literal MS paint doodles over an image can fool thousands of people still. Why are they spending all this money on realistic looking AI videos when this fools a lot of my friends with a fraction of the power?

Ok, genuinely good for Yoann. I was worried when it was revealed he was at Platinum; I'm sure he'll do great at SEGA.

Gonna make a combined HD and original commercials edit of Pee-Wee's Christmas Special, and that means adding things back in to the wonderful HD copy that the OB had.

They literally re-did EarthBound's marketing like twenty years after.
Propping up the fucking fart yokai for funny ad gags, NoA marketers from that era should be tried at the Hague

I think the American Yo-kai Watch marketing campaign should be in museums and university curriculums as one of the greatest disasters of all time but that would require anyone to actually remember Yo-kai Watch

2025 was a very good year for shmups imo. There were quite a number of notable releases (in particular order), but here are the 6 that I enjoyed the most:
1) Varyznex is actually a remake of Vastynex which is a Thunder Force homage and if anyone knows me, they know I LOVE Thunder Force
