Awesome news! @ozidual.bsky.social edited the full run of the 1987 Famimaga (Nintendo's Family Computer Magazine) magazines that I scanned a while back which means they're so much easier to flip through and read now! Check them out: archive.org/details/@ozi...

This article aptly captures the real state of Japanese game dev right now. For years, companies have prioritized outsourcing/contract hires because of fewer legal obligations. But as this piece describes, it also lets them skirt around layoff laws by ceasing to contract that external work at all.

Here's how Nirvanna The Band The Movie's director, Matt Johnson, snuck Chrono Trigger into the opening. "We wanted to basically give the audience the feeling that, 'Oh, was this what this whole thing was? Two kids at home who just played through Chrono Trigger?'" gameinformer.com/interview/20...

The guide rules because it’s such early days for Nintendo’s American console operation. They just took the JP book and rewrote it, and where Japanese text appeared in screenshots they shrugged and put black tape over it

Dug up some reading material to put myself in the proper mindset for today’s anniversary

Got the Zelda: Ocarina of Time Shogakukan guide from Retro Saikou at Otakon. Love the reflective art on the cover. Looks like they sourced the same dev team maps Nintendo Power also used.

Picked up another Legendary Edition Zelda manga. Need something lighthearted. I miss reading manga.

Today we have an amazing interview from 1989 with Shigeru Miyamoto and Shigesato Itoi. Conducted shortly after the release of Mother, it's full of deep musings about realism, creative exhaustion, the moral panic over kids & gaming, and prescient visions of the future. shmuplations.com/itoimiyamoto/

Predator Badlands was so good. They must have played Super Metroid for that one scene.

Happy 40th, Legend of Zelda~ (and Famicom Disk System!)

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link ⚔️✨🛡️ I really like 80s fantasy anime posters, and I wanted to make one for Zelda II :) This style is pretty fun to draw and colour! English title in comments 🔽 #art #zelda #loz

With news of more games media layoffs, this seems like a good time to share my Indie Games Media starter kit — it’s more important than ever that readers directly support their favourite publications and writers.

Any recommendations for wysiwyg editors for webpages? Web hosting? Wordpress vs blogger?

Later they published one of the earliest ever reviews of Zelda 2: archive.gamehistory.org/item/c75c6f2...

My copy of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link stored in a plastic case similar to copy I first rented. Bought at Funcoland, the manual is actually from the grey cart release. I asked the cashier for it from the other grey set. It was the first time I saw the art in color. The rental had a b/w copy.

Both Dragon Quest 2 and Zelda 2 did the whole overworld from the first game is part of a larger map thing, and both released in Jan 1987.

I got this Medicom Nintendo Series Legend of Zelda Link Ultra Detail Figure about 10 years ago. They did a bunch of amazing work turning old Nintendo art into figures, and this one was especially recognizable. www.16bit.com/fotd/160322-...

Today is the 40th anniversary of Zelda 1! Of all the Zelda titles, this is the one we know the MOST about; they've discussed it in interviews for years. Let's go down memory lane with some fun quotes #Zelda #TheLegendOfZeldaQuote #MiyamotoQuote, #TezukaQuote, #NakagoQuote, #KondoQuote

Happy 40th to The Legend of Zelda. 🍾 Here's the introduction running on real hardware. I picked up the Disk version of this ages ago at random. Saw it at a store and bought it even though I didn't have a way to play it. Though I solved that not much later. Cheers to my favorite game series!

If you’re worried about the future of games, remember that your $ holds enormous sway. Support companies who actually care about the art and craft of making games, who put people first and value their employees & audiences. Support indies especially. The future doesn’t belong to greedy corporations

If you ever thought it was surprising that Nintendo named the Legend of Zelda series after the imperiled princess that only shows up at the end of the game... well, maybe they didn't.
