There was an exhibit of old promotional wear at Socal Gaming Expo. I was thinking of stealing this amazing Sonic & Knuckles shirt.

The baddies! 😈

My dog did some hollowing and found this bone in the ground. I think it's worth 5 bones? She's thinking of spending it on a whip upgrade. #minathehollower

Mina is great so far but it can be exhausting to play. Both overworld and dungeon spaces expect a lot of focus and skill. The only break you get is brief moments in town. I think this is why my interest in Souls-likes is waning. I'm happy to play a demanding game, but pacing please!

Let me be the first to say Yoshi and the Mysterious Book Is a Braid-esque, immersive sim, Metroidbrainia puzzle game. It's amazing we can get this kind of stuff out of the AAA space!

Really enjoying new #Yoshi so far. Monster cataloging game is kind of a dream game for me. I'm overly attached to my names so far so I need to share. I also find it funny how difficult it is to Google specific levels in this game.

Where's Wally (aka Waldo) in the Arcade? Wally wo Sagase! (Arcade, Sega, 1992)

Bomberman Hero is chock full of little kitbashed freaks. I love them, if only modern gaming was brave enough to fill levels with tiny dancing flip phones.

Platinum made three full games about exploring the idea of a 5-dimensional character action game and I think the world needs to start paying attention. All three are bangers!

I choose to believe this is how most 90s arcade race tracks were initially conceived #gaming #retrogaming #arcade

Booster separation confirmed

My 1000 IQ weather ball in #PokemonChampions. I guess doubles is pretty cool!

It's kind of amaizng how awful the item choices are on auto team build in Champions. The white herb on Beedrill is sending me.

Trying Sonic Robo Blast 2 for the first time. I'm enjoying it! But, I never knew the special stage was NiGHTs, and, uhh...

found the perfect mod

We played @jaytholen.net’s #HypnospaceOutlaw for game club. I love this game so much, it feels like it was made for me! I had so many ideas for emojis. This is the most I’ve made for a game club!

None of this would be happening if Mega Man Legends 3 hadn't been canceled

They gave Klonoa the voice of an adult human man in the Wiimake. He is an abomination.

I always hoped it would end this way. 1v1 against the most dangerous man alive. #PokemonEmeraldRogue

I realized while replaying Sonic Advance 2 that I've beaten all of the mainline Sonic games. (Excluding some alternate dimension ports) Of course, this means it's time for a tier list so I can finally be respectable.

Bonk’s Adventure

Mario Tennis Fever has me thinking again about the holism of game reviews. It's a wonderful sports game that is incredibly fun competitively and casually. It has easily the most to engage a solo player in the series. But the Adventure mode sucks, so this means the reception is middling.

My accidental #MarioTennisFever thousand IQ play. This game is really dumb, I love it.

Finally, here’s the full bird page. Everyone is here!

The Japan-Exclusive Board Game From Project Justice: Rival Schools 2 Is Finally Playable In English.

Posting this here for reasons 😒 If you happen to see any Finji ads that look distinctly UN-Finji-like, send me a screencap. If you are someone who writes intelligently about something like "massive company running ai versions of paid ads without small company's consent" idk, maybe reach out.

Taking Pom Planet off the shelf to hopefully start working on it in earnest. I'm feeling some serious game making energy that I have to discharge it into the aether during my off hours. Making a dev thread because hopefully documenting will encourage me to keep at it.

the Cave Story mockup that almost came out officially. I worked with the Cave Story publisher Nicalis for a few months developing a pixel art but higher resolution version of the game. Pixel approved! Here's also some upscaled sprites, showing options #pixelart

Brand new sprites and idle animations for the Mandragora and the Veggie Lamb! #pixelart

People keep saying the codenames in Metal Gear Solid sound like Megaman X bosses, so I decided to give them actual designs. Matches the scale of my other X mockups. Something I've been sitting on for several years that I finally decided to wrap up tonight. #megaman #pixelart #ドット絵

I'm finally getting around to Yooka RepLaylee. This is the best kind of remake, taking a flawed game and addressing the issues to lift up the full package. Banjo fans, you're not going to get a more genuine Banjo-Threeie than this. Buy the dang thing! @playtonicgames.com more please.

My printer updated on its own and now it refuses to use my 3rd party ink cartridges. Thank you Epson, I love the future of technology!

I grabbed Mario Tennis for both N64 and GBC and I think this is a game best played linked. It's such a fun, unique experience. Even now, it's exciting to see your sprite baby turn into a full 3D model. Although, the colors in 3D are weird. Why is Alex Blonde? And why is Kate not pink?

Ninten doing da goopie

I was playing Castlevania Harmony of Despair and getting bad RNG. I realized that if I played 3 characters with the same controller I could triple my drop chances. It was pretty fun, and it tickled my Dandori senses. This could be a sick speedrun category. @gamesdonequick.com

Another old #pixelart mockup I did. It was a fun reimagined Sega Aladdin.

My overall enjoyment of classic Mega Man went through the roof when I realized you could use the slide to jump further.

People often have readings of Majora's Mask as a story about mortality. I like seeing it as an autobiographical story about the game's 1-year development. It's about a dev team rushing against repeated short deadlines trying to make something worthwhile. (As represented by the three-day cycle)

Megaman Zero 2 combines two of my favorite things: Mega Man, and quickly rolling along slopes in a ball.

@newvgadvisor.bsky.social Zero is trying to force me to give up on my dreams 😔

I'm still mad at the Grinch for lying about the Smash Bros roster.

The year is 20X6 and it's time again for a thread of the games I've beaten. The world will never be the same.

I was told by an ex Lucasarts designer I worked with at Telltale that Dash Rendar, the main character of Shadows of the Empire, got his name from the command the engineers used to update the scene: -render

The dark side of save states: I was on the Ninja Gaiden 2 final boss, determined to beat it start to finish. After many tries, I finally managed to beat phase 2 with 1 health. To my horror, it rolled into phase 3. I restarted the level to get more ammo, and when I got back it skips phase 1 and 2.

Has anybody been talking about how Metroid Prime 4 is close to being a remake of the first? A mysterious energy rains over an abandoned planet and mutates the flora and fauna. The upgrade set is nearly identical. Starts with a bombastic linear action sequence where you lose your upgrades.
