Double Fine's Keeper is absolutely gorgeous! The game reminds me of a supercharged XBLA title, and I mean that in the most pleasant way possible!

It works relatively well for a game released in 2003. There has been a few instances where it has not been able to recognize what I am saying, but trying a deep southern accent always does the trick! 😅

The game released as Operator’s Side in Japan. Makes sense, as you are looking through fixed cameras. All versions came with a USB headset.

The game did not receive very positive reviews.
However, you can judge for yourself, as we have been streaming it live on Twitch (more this Thursday)!

Lifeline on PS2

A microphone-controlled action game by SCE (published by Konami). It is just as bizarre as it sounds.

The year is 2029. Play as an operator helping the main character survive aliens on a space hotel. You literally have to tell her when to shoot at foes.

Everybody should try out Night Trap at least once.

Glenn @redtoad64.bsky.social · 11d

That’s the best part tho

Yeah, I’m kind of a green shell dodging expert.

Super Mario Eclipse is an amazing Sunshine mod.

Pikmin 2 on Wii had launched under the New Play Control line in other regions years prior. An example of Nintendo sitting on a release until what they deem to be the most optimal time.

The inclusion of widescreen, pointer controls, and a new rewind function makes my preferred method to play.

Pikmin 2 on Wii

A very unusual US re-release of the GameCube game on Wii. This launched as a $20 Nintendo Selects title shortly after the announcement of Pikmin 3 on Wii U!

Nobody was buying Wii software at this point. Everyone had moved on to next-gen systems. So it bombed.

NASTY UPPIES

Kirby 64's final boss doesn't let you quit out of the fight. The game tells you to "Tough It Out!"

Overheard in the office:
“Did you know that Jordan Peele makes horror movies now?”

Glenn @redtoad64.bsky.social · 25d

Now that’s spicy!

Heavy Rain... is a video game.

I’m starting to think Hot Shots Golf on Nintendo Switch isn’t a very optimized game.

Glenn @redtoad64.bsky.social · 27d

It’s okay. Not really anything beyond your usual tennis video game.

While helping our grandparents move today, we found the original N64 and copy of Banjo-Kazooie that I played in the 90’s! I would get my own system and copy shortly later.

This game was very important in shaping me into the game player that I am today. 🙂

The Pocket Camera hat is so cute! Thank you for your research!

Just Mario Picross stuff. You know. The usual.

*Nintendo. Why does Bluesky keep dropping the last letter from certain words on mobile?
