How I squeezed the ATTRACT MODE of Super Sunny World (NES) into 10 lines of code! _________________________ "Attract Mode" stems from the arcade. Looping gameplay would entice viewers to try the game. It helps avoid burn-in on CRT displays. Later this would come to home consoles as well! #nesdev

The world isn’t ready for the original Smash Bros getting a console port for the first time.

Are my nostalgic rose-tinted glasses in full effect or is Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time a big downgrade compared to Superstar Saga? The extended battle system with the 4 characters is nice & it has some really creative boss fights. But the depth of its world & dungeons feels super lacking.

Hard to believe it's already been ten years that Gaming Alexandria has been around. Here's a (late) article about our history, as well as special thanks and small blurbs from others of what Gaming Alexandria has meant to them. Here's to another ten years! www.gamingalexandria.com/wp/2025/11/g...

I love Natsume-Atari, they‘ve made some of the best action games of the 8bit & 16bit era! I am still working on my SNES/SFC collection of them, but will always support their new remakes and output so they can keep on bringing the heat - here’s my PS4 collection of their games!

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t... It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article. Please share :)

ONE WHOLE MEGABYTE

note the legals: LRG's using Japan's arbitration system for orphaned games to reissue Little Samson—if you can demonstrate that you've made a genuine effort to contact/identify a potential rights owner to no avail, you can legally commercialise an old game by paying royalties to the JP govt, which…

Galactic Attack is an overhead auto-scrolling shmup of the highest quality. The art style, music & sound effects are all top-notch.

To those few peeps with a Justifier Lightgun for SNES or MD out there, did you run into any issues with them lately? Mine did work flawlessly like a few years ago, but now it seemingly doesn’t aim well anymore?

Experimental post: Mode 7? What About Modes 1-6? Some games on the SNES, such as Super Mario Kart, boasted "Mode 7" technology. However, this raises the question of what happened to the previous modes. This post explains them and gives examples of their usage in Mario games.

I’ve already said this at some point, but let me share it again: If you are a SNES/SFC collector that wants their Satellaview 8Ms checked & dumped, you can contact me for that. Even if your packs show up as empty, there’s a good chance that there are deleted or Soundlink-only ROMs hidden on there.

I love how many of those Japanese feature phone versions basically look like 16bit. The beautiful Seiken Densetsu 1 on those is likely the best-known one. If you’d love to know what a SNES/MD version of Quest of Ki could have looked like, have a look! I hope many of these get preserved eventually.

i am out here building a silly bracket 1 mtg commander deck centered around moogles for stupid reasons (my user name is the reason)

New Blog Post: Review of official SNES Mouse Emulation I had to compile my thoughts about how wrong it feels. luigiblood.neocities.org/blog/2025-10... #NintendoSwitchOnline #NintendoClassics #SNES #SFC

Playing Earthbound for the first time ever in 2025 is fascinating, actually. You're just a kid and the world's gone mad. All the adults are useless at best or trying to kill you at worst. Everyone talks like a crazy person. Everything's too expensive. Your next door neighbor wants to be a dictator.
