Dusting off an old classic to cap off the year

Yoshi nut the cat

I find it kinda funny how Toaplan-style shooters were the dominant form of the genre throughout most of the 90's, then Toaplan became Cave and still to this day Cave shmups feel like the template most design their games around

looking into speed power gunbike and im a big fan of how the disc art is clearly meant to resemble a standard anime laserdisc

Fucks me up that Mega Man will never go back to 8's artstyle

How come the only game I’ve been looking forward to this year has to unlock on a Monday

Friend of mine is in Japan and they’re going hard on the advertising for the Gnosia anime

I kinda just thought Earthion would be a cute new project with a Yuzo Koshiro BGM, but people are already saying it's one of the best shmups for the Mega Drive? Might have to cop

Oh, Hotel Barcelona comes out next week, hope it's good

So the new Sunsoft revival title is a sequel to Ripple Island...that's an Overcooked clone? Gotta be one of the most miscellaneous game sequel ideas of all time, like at least with Ikki Unite copying Vampire Survivors it was still a top-down shooter www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlNS...

What do you mean Duel Madters was originally an MTG manga

I always wondered, were any of the Senran Kagura games actually good or did weebs just play them for the fanservice (my hunch is the latter)

I'm a little disappointed they took Top Ride out of the new Air Ride, but they fleshed out the other two modes and made them a lot more substantive by the look of it, so quality over quantity

Spotted some Warau Salesman graffiti in the back alleys of Toronto

The developer of ElecHead, one of my favorite games in recent memory has a new puzzle platformer in the same vein coming out I thought the core mechanic didn’t look as intuitive, but after playing the demo for a bit, it really hooked me! store.steampowered.com/app/2721890/...

Yesterday, I uploaded the ISO image of one of the rarest videogames known to exist, of which a single copy is known to exist in the online world. After years of appeals, its owner finally agreed to share it with me so that I could in turn share it with the world.

Back in the 90s, Kiyohiko Azuma (creator of Azumanga Daioh and Yotsuba&!) actually drew some 4-koma comic strips for a Donkey Kong Country manga anthology. Wild to see.
