I saw very little Neo Geo+ coverage this week bothering to mention the man who owns SNK, and I think that is a failing. The retro gaming scene continues to shy away from any uncomfortable realities that get in the way of nostalgic good times. It can and should be better than that

Orbitals Gameplay Reveal Trailer! ✨ Coming to Switch 2 “This Summer” Proud to show you all what I'm working on. #Orbitals #Nintendo #Switch2 youtu.be/M0tO8Nml-do?...

Renew! Renew!

Wait, are these related somehow?

"Wait, so you're saying CRTs were meant to reduce the prominence of jaggies and scaling artifacts?"

Just a little whoopsie. Going from $30 to $23 is a start, but it still doesn't even bring the price close to the $20 it was before October 2025 or $17 before July 2024. It's still up 35% in less than 2 years.

There is no way to support SNK, Mod Retro etc and divest yourself from the abhorrent actions of their owners. Every penny you put in their pockets helps to keep them doing what they do outside of selling some games & hardware. One begets the other. You become a part of it. No ifs, no buts.

Talking Point: "We, The Consumers, Need To Vote With Our Wallets" - The Moral Dilemma Of Supporting SNK In 2026.

An unemployed Nagoya man who was asserting a "right not to watch" NHK was ordered to pay over 10 years of back fees totaling about 270,000 yen (~$1,700) in a Nagoya regional court on the 21st.

Dinosaurs had two of the darkest episodes of TV I've ever seen, on geronticide and extinction.

Another massively undersold oddball that's currently under $2 - Omega 6: The Triangle Stars A SNES-style adventure by the original F-Zero and Star Fox artist, full of funny weird space-guys. Very retro walk-and-talk adventuring with rock-paper-scissors based RPG battling. *92% off* for 15 hours.

Kyoto game pickup: launch title Crime Crackers for PlayStation, the first title published by Sony Computer Entertainment.

Today, April 20th, 2026 is the 20th Anniversary of the release of Mother 3 in Japan. It has yet to be officially localized in any language.

Since it feels like all I've been doing for the last 3 weeks has been repairing my game collection, today's #throwbackthursday is the little comic strip I made about this EXACT situation two years ago! #retrogaming #retrocollecting #art #comic #diy #repair #funny #tbt

To be clear, I am not condoning or endorsing game products sold by people who are quite clearly villains. I do recommend boycotting in such cases. I am. But if you do choose to buy, you should at least be aware of what you're doing and have to live with that knowledge.

I mean, I get that it's impossible to boycott everything that has someone whose political views you disagree with in the supply chain. That's basically almost every product that exists. Just be aware that we now have a far-right weapons dealer selling Game Boys and a journalist murderer Neo-Geos.

I've been going through my archives for NES Wolverine and have managed to re-assemble my original 6502 game code and create a build from the 1st August 1990. As you can see it's a VERY early demo with the 8-way scroll routine, panel and collision working. No Wolverine sprites yet!

I’m guessing some retro game enthusiasts simply don’t know that SNK/Neo Geo is now owned by Saudi Arabia, largely because that was Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud’s favorite console growing up. You can literally read it in biographies of the dude. 1/

The real reason you shouldn’t buy the Neo Geos isn’t because of the price but because they’re owned by Saudi Arabia.

It's good to be back! #京都

I can't think of any other reason why character-based merchandise for one of the most beloved video games ever is only finally showing up now. It's not like anything with the concerned parties has changed lately.

@mayor.nyc.gov: "If you are a Mario Kart fan, government is Yoshi and philanthropy is the Golden Mushroom, that edge we need to beat Bowser on the Rainbow Road. To belabor this metaphor even further, Bowser is corporate greed in this scenario."

Here's your reminder that SNK is brought to you by the people who murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

The sound of an approaching train: A little bit louder now... A little bit louder now... A little bit louder now...

Gotta flip 'em all!

Ah, it looks like they got the memo.

You know what time it is!

Wait, since when did bodegas have Pocky? And a non-standard flavor at that?

Looking for a rice field? Well you came to the wrong freaking city buddy

I fully expect best games of all time lists to leave me behind as the decades go by. But even so. Maybe try a little bit of variety. (The Madden/COD/F2P audiences that actually drive the market can't be bothered with game websites.)

This has to be the most amazing shot I've ever seen in person. 🏀 Sorry for linking to Twitter. x.com/basketlive_j...

HOUSTON (AP) — Artemis II’s astronauts return to Earth, ending a record-breaking trip around the moon with a splashdown in the Pacific.

RIP Article 9.

Of course he wants kickbacks.

Counting Pokopia, it's a bit astounding that Nintendo has 3 big dollhouse games.

I could sure go for Taco Tuesday. 🌮

At least we get the best photos in a generation before the button gets pushed. www.nasa.gov/gallery/luna...

AWKWARD. 😬

Just smile and nod. Keep your head down.

I'll see you on the dark side of the Moon. 🌕🚀

Does the 25th really need to wait until he tries to push the button?

We're all in this together. 🌏 Except for 4 people not pictured, of course.
