Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas if you celebrate!

Merry Christmas! Here's the review for Tokimeki Memorial 3, the so-called worst in the series. Finally broke Mitsumete Knight's record for being the longest review in the channel. Big difference is, I like Mitsumete Knight.

Merry Christmas

My main takeaway from these lists is that I apparently really need to play Urban Myth Dissolution Center cos it sure is getting frequent nods here

I found it! This is the "Almost Christmas" image I've been looking for! Wait, no, sorry, I think this belongs to @traindetective.bsky.social

Merry Almost Christmas!

おはようございます！

Did you know that in 1987 Enix made a Zelda-like with a Buddhist theme? In this episode I attempt to play through this one and find out whether it's a hidden gem or just another dud. youtu.be/XD9a35jwd14

The other day I wound up watching the Crunchyroll Christmas Special starring @miketoole.com with some friends and then realised this year is the tenth anniversary of its release. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRKM...

Couldn’t choose between a star or an angel so we went with both 😌

Who coined "Metroidvania"? It wasn't @jparish.bsky.social, and he'll be the first to tell you. Besides, there are far more interesting questions, like: How did it spread? Evolve? And what's it got to do with rickrolling? Watch til the end for a post-credits sting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8set...

Bandai Namco using fan-translation footage in their Tales of 30th Anniversary video because they've never localized a playable version of Phantasia is Very Funny

The most highly anticipated Saturn translation has arrived! Yes, Airs Adventure is out in English, just in time to liven the holidays!! Credits: @hitomi2500.bsky.social - Hacking @snowyaria.goodorevengreat.games - Translation @nichetopic.bsky.social - Graphics @blueskyrunner.bsky.social - QA

Sometimes when researching, archiving, and scanning we come across important artifacts of history, nuggets of information that reshape the way we think about the history of games and how they relate to us. And other times, we find pictures of Warren Spector in a sumo wrestler costume.

My dad showed me Speed Racer as a kid. I was obsessed with the trailer for the Sonic OVA in Sonic Jam. Caught a random episode of Tenchi on Toonami. My friends and I got really into DBZ. My older sister got Escaflowne on VHS. Rented Totoro on a whim. G Gundam. I never stood a chance.

Hey. Hey! Wanna see some cool old Falcom postcards?

The final Anime Business of the year, with @glider.bsky.social, goes live in 15 minutes!

Two-page magazine spread for the original PC release of The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC. Taken from the April 2006 issue of Login.

Falcom reveals Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter, set to release in Fall 2026 worldwide for PlayStation 5, Switch 2, Switch, and PC: https://www.rpgsite.net/news/19218-falcom-reveals-trails-in-sky-2nd-chapter-set-to-release-in-fall-2026-worldwide-for-playstation-5-switch-2-switch-pc

Extremely excited to share the second part of my Remade series, talking to Falcom's Toshihiro Kondo about Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, how they used it to recapture nostalgia, "nurture" newer developers, and discover what the series might have lost www.inverse.com/gaming/trail...

My brain might just be broken but every time I sit down to play Dispatch I think, “This is basically Sakura Wars in the form of an FMV game.”

New video! This 50+ minute marathon compiles all 2025 English fan translations I've covered so far, alongside a bunch of new games (and platforms too!) Please check it out! #promosky www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Qm-...

(1/8) And now there are two visual novels in English on the SEGA Dreamcast... Announcing my English translation patch release of "Di Gi Charat Fantasy", ported from @GGopicolo's PlayStation 2 patch. DOWNLOAD: github.com/DerekPascare...

I think about Swen Vincke's speech from the Game Awards 2024 often. How mind-numbingly simple his postulations are and how crazy it is that they still need to be said, and how it feels like a breath of fresh air when they are. The edit in 2034 with all the GOTYs with this audio is gonna go so hard

Someone has just restored "Daicon 3" from a rare 8mm copy. It's the best version to date. >> archive.org/details/zgfp...

A few days ago I posted an end-of-the-year recap on my YouTube channel. Give it a read if you want a summary of all the stuff I got up to this year (at least online). www.youtube.com/post/Ugkx5pV...

“Now I have to buy this on day one.” Resident Evil Requiem’s aged-up Leon Kennedy crowned “hot uncle” in Japan Leon's brand-new aged-up design earned him the title of "イケおじ" (ikeoji, hot uncle) among Japanese fans automaton-media.com/en/news/now-...

Happy Friday! We're thrilled to announce the full run of Marukatsu PC Engine is now available to download/view. We believe we have now scanned every Japanese PC Engine focused magazine completely. Enjoy and please spread the word by liking/RT'ing. www.gamingalexandria.com/wp/2025/12/m...

Pretty cool to see the Expedition 33's director thanking Sakaguchi during his acceptance speech and Sakaguchi also congratulating the team in turn.

pragmata announced deluxe edition outfits and there's a kitty cat one 🥹💕

Thank you again @cutemonster.bsky.social and @jmanvelez.bsky.social for inviting me to be on this episode of Brain Lords. I had a great time talking about fan translations and sharing our hot takes on video game dubs :)

Had alot of fun with this one discussing some all timers. Mother 3, Cave Story, and blowing some minds showing the connection between Homestuck and the Danganronpa fan translation.

New episode! This week Special Guest @bowloflentils.bsky.social helps us discuss our most influential fan translations. Some games defined entire careers, others crashed as a petty squabble for clout. Find out more in this super high school level episode! open.spotify.com/episode/1Gae...

Wow! There is so much unsourced information, and a lot of misinformation about Hudson and NEC's follow up to the PC Engine, the PC-FX. But, what if you did original research, in Japanese, what story would you uncover about this fated machine - this video is what! #retrogaming #pcfx #pcengine
