I have so many feelings about Itagaki’s passing, a flawed person that helped make one of my all time favorite games, but I do think the timing of it happening right before a Ninja Gaiden game was finally released, much of it seemingly outsourced to Platinum, makes the feelings more bittersweet.

A peek at GAME FREAK (Yep, *that* Game Freak!) tips 'zine issue 22 from 1985 where the solution to arcade Time Gal is lovingly and painstakingly illustrated and written out scene-by scene. 💜

A scan of the photocopied zine with an illustration of protag Reikas sat coly with legs crossed and a marker pen held in one hand, with cheeky doodles drawn over the game's villain's face and a piece of paper. "Time Stop!"

A snap of one of the pages, with painstakingly drawn recreations of hte various scenes of the QTE based animated footage gameplay with directional inputs for each of them.

Another snap of inked illustrations of Reika in one scene and line artworks in the other. Directional inputs can be seen below.

seeing a lot of thoughts about this flying around today so i just wanna be clear on my thoughts from skimming the review and playing the demo: the full review suggests to me that this is not my kind of game, and separately i disagree with suggestions that it reflects an arcade style of design

i obviously don't think two loops are necessarily a bad thing, but what the review describes isn't even particularly analogous to makaimura doing that

TESTAMENT✙ENJOYMENT @testamentenjoyment.net · 9d

Spoilers for Absolum, but you actually might want to spoil yourself on this, because this is some of the worst meta-progression bait I've ever heard of

(Also a great review overall, one that's for once made from the perspective who gave beat 'em ups a deeper shot)

I think I’m gonna do arcade guys and I am really glad I don’t have the money to get hooked on buying arcade cabinets because seeing some of these guys setup makes me jealous

playing arcade games and trying to beat them without continues is very fun and probably makes up most of my gaming time now, i will almost certainly recognize some usernames here

after something like 80 hours of playing, I FINALLY got the Battle Garegga 1CC! :]

this is the toughest STG clear I've done, and I'm glad I decided to give it a try. It's really one of the best games ever made

The new DEMO is a slice of story mode. We'll release with both this and arcade mode, which strips all narrative elements from a run.
