I appreciate how Nintendo went from "Virtual Console games must have no alterations whatsoever" during the Wii era to just casually dropping previously unreleased games every couple of years

Got a fun video cooking for next month Even though the picture is a deliberate hint, it's not the full picture for what the video will entail!

Bringing my 3DS to MAGFest was one of the smartest decisions I've ever made

I JUST cleared all this a few minutes ago and it's like I never touched it man what the fuck

Playing some Game Boy/Game Boy Color stuff on original hardware (well, via Game Boy Player on Gamecube, anyway), nothing crazy Moreso testing audio settings this time around, been getting audio desync in OBS lately and want to tweak those settings should they arise www.twitch.tv/theseventhfo...

NES: Super Mario Bros. 3 GB: Pokemon Gold & Silver SNES: Super Metroid N64: Banjo-Kazooie GBC: Link's Awakening DX GBA: Mother 3 GC: Metroid Prime DS: Pokemon HG/SS Wii: Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom 3DS: Dragon Quest 8 WiiU: Mario 3D World Switch: Metroid Dread Switch 2: Uh... Donkey Kong Bananza so far

Got a new Game Boy flashcart after my old one died. Might do a casual stream tomorrow putting it through its paces and to check how certain romhacks hold when played on official hardware. Will let y'all know if I end up doing so!

Playing that one colorized GBC version of Pokemon Red while I have some downtime at work, and I honestly forgot just how many learnset adjustments Pokemon Yellow made that the series kept from that point on. Somehow slipped my mind that Butterfree doesn't learn confusion until level 12 in Red/Blue.

I've found myself saying "That's my motherfucking mayor" more times in the last three weeks than I have in my entire life before realizing I've never actually said it or had any reason to prior to 2026

New video! Sure are a lot of tag fighting games out there, huh? Remember when tag fighting was usually an alternate gameplay mode in fighting games? I sure do. Let's talk about Tag Team Modes in 1v1 Fighting Games. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BNC...

Holy shit I should've gotten into Persona a long ass time ago man

I'm replaying Golden Sun for the millionth time and I love this series, I really do (even Dark Dawn) but holy shit Camelot does not know how to do properly paced dialogue at all man

Bring back funny ass character select voice lines in fighting games

Coming this week: Tag Team Modes in 1v1 Fighting Games. See you then.

Yeah, AM2R isn't technically an official game, but damn does it make you work for that best ending I love that both it and Samus Returns take advantage of Metroid 2's unique place in the timeline and do nice little nods to the impending events of Super Metroid and Fusion.

Been trying to slowly get myself off of sodas and carbonated drinks and started making smoothies. Honestly could get used to this, orange strawberry banana smoothies go kinda hard

The most frustrating thing about that CoTW trailer is that the actual shot composition is honestly pretty solid, and actually does something with the series' wolf motif If they had actually... y'know, paid a studio to hand animate it instead of going the AI slop route, it could've looked neat alas

New Capcom Vs. Legacy video is up for Patrons, will be available for everyone else next week. It's a Marvel character, so look forward to it!

Hilarious timing, wow. (This was the digital eclipse collection I was bellyaching about in my last post) Part of me hopes they'd do a physical release, but they'd probably give it to Limited Run, so never mind

New video: looked into Nagoriyuki‘s character design from Guilty Gear Strive. Watch here: youtu.be/urRZ0fxsSi8?... #guiltygear #guiltygearstrive #nagoriyuki

Once you start diving into video game image quality and specifically how retro games *should* be presented with regards to resolution, integer scaling and such, you too can learn how to start hating digital eclipse collections with a burning passion

MAGfest was incredible, definitely going to be an annual tradition for me now. Shoutouts to everyone I hung out with and helped make this a memorable con experience!

Watching Haha, You Clowns for the first time before I check out of my hotel. I was expecting some kind of bizarro comedy and while it is a little bizarre, this show is so genuinely wholesome, really caught me off guard Also love that they just casually live next door to Jeanette Lee

Spent a good chunk of today trying (and failing!) to beat the high score someone set on a MvC1 cabinet. Ended up getting everything but the highest score. Decided I wasn't okay with that, came back after watching a Katamari tournament (actually pretty hype) and did what I had to.

My personal rule is if there's a DuckTales setup at any event I'm at, I'm bearing it in one sitting.

I don't know why it took me so long to start watching smiling friends but holy shit am I glad I did

Ended up making a quick impromptu trip to go visit some family not too far from MAGfest since they live close by, always a great time with 'em Going to try to make it back to the convention center tonight, otherwise I'll be back tomorrow morning!

NEW VIDEO! Alright, tell the truth: How far have any of y'all gotten in any one Ghosts & Goblins game? If your answer is "not very" then lucky for you, I'm here to show you all the neat series references in Arthur's moveset in Marvel Vs. Capcom! youtu.be/olXfPBdA46g?...

Dipped in Red Gold. #art #blackart

This year's going to be my first time at MAGFest and wow, there's so many panels and such that I'm getting choice paralysis just looking at what's announced, lol. Going to have to figure how to manage my time this weekend!

youtube

Going to be out of town from Thursday onward for MAGfest this weekend (feel free to say hi if ya see me!) but worry not, a new video also drops that day as well! See you then!

Can't wait to just unplug entirely from the internet this weekend and vibe out at Magfest.

Absolutely godlike album. Required listening if you're a Jazz Fusion enjoyer.

First dedicated save points in the series, first appearance of multiple mainstay power-ups, introduced THE Varia design that'd define Samus' visually, has the single most important plot point of the 2D games, introduced alternate ways to kill bosses... They could never make me hate you, Metroid II.

Thanks to everyone for helping out! I had so much fun I completely forgot I was supposed to test out Saturn games as well, lol. Another time, perhaps!

Testing some recording settings for my consoles via Retrotink on Twitch. Let me know if anything looks off, trying to tweak settings for future videos on the channel! www.twitch.tv/theseventhfo...

Have a few recording settings I want to test to see how certain profile filters with the RetroTink4k record at 1080p resolutions on my capture card(For future videos), so.... I might do an impromptu Twitch stream in a bit, since that's a really good quick way for me to test.

2025 was pretty great for the most part, especially as far as personal life stuff goes. As far as video stuff, I constantly feel like I don't do enough and just amount to talking for hours on end about stuff no one cares about. Going to try to foster a healthier mindset going into 2026.

New Capcom Vs. Legacy episode is available on Patreon, will be available publicly on YouTube next week. Have a Happy New Year!

Still blows my mind that I can get this kind of image quality out of my Game Boy/Game Boy Advance cartridges on official hardware, no emulation necessary After hooking it up with Swiss and Game Boy Interface, I've played my GameCube more times in the last 4-5 months than I have in the last 17 years

Checking the weather outside on the Wii like god intended

Not bad for $5

That AAA Mario video might honestly be one of the most beautiful recent examples I can recall of genuine art being born from pure, distilled contempt. Merry Christmas!

You ever get a comment that just makes you stare blankly at your phone screen

I will never stop slandering the Switch Pro/Switch 2 Pro Controller D-Pad, that thing is fucking ASS, man.

Replayed a classic today.

Rusty as all hell and forgot how to do some of the harder skips, but not bad for not having played Dread in three years

Legitimately one of the greatest sodas of all time. I miss it every day.

Metroid Dread is up there with Super Metroid as one of those games where I can boot it up after not playing for years and I'll be LOCKED IN like I never stopped playing. Just 100% in the zone.
