I post about retro and arcade games, and sometimes pro wrestling, food and pop culture.

My links are at linktr.ee/djtatsujin

The link I really want to point out is my website, www.gemubaka.com, which is a collection of game writings from nearly 20 combined years.

Game 107 from the NES shelf for #RandomGameSaturday is Yoshi

I grew up with the Game Boy version, so I have much less time spent on this version. I wouldn’t call this a heavy hitter in the puzzle genre, but it still has solid gameplay and cute baby Yoshis that need to be fed.

While we finished* the main course once more, there's some MK dessert to be had.

We leftover some sidequests and secret bosses we never did, and it's time to finish our plate.

@thejewker.bsky.social and I will defeat these miskreants, starting around 3:30 PM ET/ 12:30 PM PT!

*Shao Kahn can go fu-
It's that time of the year! That's right, Kombatsgiving, a totally real and not made up event that allows me and @thejewker.bsky.social to play through Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks again.

Chill & Chat until Jewker is ready. Starting shortly! twitch.tv/ryyudo

I accomplished what I set out to do and picked up the Retro Achievements mastery for Great Greed on Game Boy! This is the 72nd game beaten on stream while playing RA (11th mastery), and the 87th game I've beaten in 2025.

Thanks for the recommendation @yokoikids.bsky.social !

I've now got three games pending on the livestreams, so I'm going to try to finish one of them tonight: The Namco Game Boy RPG Great Greed. Let's jump on a kite and fly into the final area!

I did an impromptu stream that placed Jinborov Karnovski into WWF Smackdown 2 on the PlayStation. I sat in catering for a couple of months, but then the matches and storylines started flowing.

Have you ever seen a pinfall broken by oncoming traffic?

New blog post time!

This week's game is Wizard Fire, the follow-up to Data East's D&D-inspired Gate of Doom that really doesn't stray far from it at all. However, an injection of style ends up adding some substance alongside it, resulting in a game that I found myself quite a bit more endeared to:
Wizard Fire
Wizard Fire is the kind of game that’s an improved sequel in virtually every regard, but it’s also a game I didn’t necessarily expect to exist as it was. Here I was asking for some kind of bigger a…

Good morning

I started Perfect Dark Zero, and we found out the "Zero" refers to the gravity in the game.

So far this is a game in which I'm liking some things, and not so much liking other things. I still feel like seeing this one through for now.

Thanks again to @ryyudo.bsky.social for the clip!

Game 9 off the XBox 360 shelf for #RandomGameSaturday - Crash of the Titans.

Deep in the Vevendi era of Crash Bandicoot, this game spins the series into beat ‘em up territory, with the ability to control multiple enemy characters.

This one is a bit out there, but it’s alright.

The actual finale of Mega Man Legends.

Since it seems like I only have so much left, I'm gonna try to hit up as many of the side-quests as I can before the conclusion. Perfect Saturday vibes tbh.

Good morning

I recently showed a number of doodles I've done over the past few years, and that mentioned "Happy Tentacle Gambit" from X-Men Vs. Street Fighter.

I found my actual reference photo to show what the heck I was talking about. Someone posted this frame from the game, and I doodled it.

I finally managed to get a 20, November cut. I'm glad I integrated the scene shortcuts into a stream for once. It was a fun 20, November!
