Me hearing the music in The Devil Wears Prada 2 teaser trailer: I, too, like the Street Fighter: 3rd Strike Original Soundtrack.

Yesterday, I saw Brandish SNES being sold at a local game shop for $24.99. Normally it goes for ~$90 just for the cart. I asked them if it was a repro, 'cause I couldn't believe my eyes. They discovered they mispriced it as a SFC cart and updated the price to $99.99. 🥴
Shoulda kept my trap shut! 😅

I have the absolute worst luck with buying secondhand Dreamcast games. Can't catch a break with the heavy hitters sometimes; even when the disc gets resurfaced I get read issues.

I recall the back of the Ghosts n’ Goblins NES box showed the arcade or maybe PC version of the game, and man was I disappointed when I plugged it in and that was not how it looked!

With the Half Price Books in Berkeley shutting down soon, I snagged all of this for 90% off, totaling $11.90. Feels like highway robbery!

That time in third grade during music class when we sang a song about the things we were thankful for, and when the music teacher pointed at me:
Cassette: "I'M THAAAANKFUL, FOR..."
Me: "...Mortal Kombat II."

Remembering that time Nintendo launched Breath of Fire II on 3DS Virtual Console on Thanksgiving 2016 so I pushed a CUSA blog post live then filmed this important tutorial.
eShop's closed now, but at the very, very least the game's on Nintendo Switch Online these days (and Capcom Town via web).

This reminds me of that time in Malcom in the Middle when a character referenced "Double Dragon IV: The Sacred Stones", and I shouted at the TV "that's Double Dragon III, you IDIOT".
I sure hope somebody got fired for that blunder!

Stranger Things 5: Kid plays Ghosts n' Goblins on an NES, but they're depicting gameplay from the arcade version of the game on the CRT screen, with NES audio. Illusion ruined, 0/10 show, do your damn research.

In Breath of Fire II, talking to an NPC that's out-of-bounds or inaccessible using a cheat device (such as going to Bow in TownShip as Ryu solo instead of talking to an NPC in Capitan that auto-warps you back to Bow anyway) will produce this dialogue, which calls out the date of the game build.

3 thoughts:
1. I regret never getting very far in Goemon's Great Adventure.
2. It pains me that they removed the intro and Impact vocal themes from the English release.
3. It pains me even more how 1999 was the last time we got a new Goemon game in the West.

This is a fantastic interview on YouTube with Implicit Conversions' CEO that goes over some of the challenges of bringing classic games to modern platforms.
But now I am HUGELY curious about what games/companies were being referenced in some of the anecdotes.
