I'm shocked that it took until Sonic Racing Crossworlds to get a Sonic Racing game with a big modding scene. And it can't just be because it's an Unreal Engine game. Sonic fans are willing to learn many old & new internal engines to mod any game on Steam a LOT. What's different about Sumo Digital's?

Was NOT expecting Bubsy 1 to drop on NSO considering the Purrfect collection came out almost a month ago on every system with both SNES and Genesis versions of that very game. But Mario and Wario releasing outside of Japan for the first time? That is very special.

🧵 The reveal of Virtual Boy NSO & the requirement of an accessory to play its games has brought me back to the topic of DS games being difficult to re-release uncompromised without an accessory. For Virtual Boy, people are willing to trade 3D for more comfortable TV play. But docked DS isn't easy.

Happy 5th anniversary to Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time! It's hard to believe that it's been this long ever since the game dropped, especially with everything that happened. But it's still nice to see (especially since the official Twitter celebrated it). I might replay it & the trilogy someday.

If I had a nickel every time Genshin Impact got a limited time event that is literally just Bomberman in the game's theme, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice with the second time happening slightly over a year later.

Not sure whether or not I should post a Pac-Man meme for the release of Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac... eh, why not. (I hope this is possible to do in the remake).

A day after my birthday? Sure, why not?

I'm aware of how long it takes for a game to make regardless of size & scope if you solo develop it. Like one of the projects I'm working on. Though I'm doing it solo because of how specific the concept is & I wanna get right. I could get some folks to help speed it up, but I don't want any trouble.

Those who seek high desperation into certain things they are fond of are likely to lower their standards, with that likelihood & lowering of those standards increasing as their desperation increase. This is a quote I formed from my research of looking into certain fandoms I'm either in or peeked at

So Capcom is not only willing to continue to make Megaman Legacy Collections even after many things that happen not long ago, but also do Star Force, arguably the least popular sub-series & tricky to re-release due to their DS nature, before Legends. KONAMI WTF IS YOUR EXCUSE YOU OVERLOOKED SCUMBAGS

Vertical Force but no Panic Bomber. Virtual Bowling but no Nester's Funky Bowling. Virtual Lab, Virtual League Baseball and Space Squash are not here. Virtual Fishing is exclusive to the Japanese version of the app and SD Gundam and Waterworld... Bamco probably doesn't care and Waterworld's a movie.

I WAS FUCKING JOKING!

Bomberman games coming to NSO.

If I had a nickel for every time we get a Nintendo Direct on September 12th, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's interesting that it happened twice. (And the only reason I remember the date of the 2023 one was because a certain game that was releasing just a day after it didn't show up.)

Better late than never! Here's a little something for the Birthday Bois! 💜🧡 Commissioned by @mkillaln9.bsky.social! #CrashBandicoot #SpyroTheDragon #SpyroCommunityDay #Crashiversary

Happy 29th anniversary to Crash Bandicoot. The series is almost 30 which is crazy to think of & there's a lot I'm still looking forward towards despite the noticeably lacking news. I still have a lot about the series I have in mind, but I have other things in mind. The 30th is sooner than we thought

Just caught Discord being down for a bit and then quickly go back up again in a few minutes. Though discord on PS5 is still acting up.

What Super Mario Strikers does to a mf.

Astro Bot is now a year old and it alone was basically the biggest driving factor for me getting the PS5. I had my fun, enjoyed the charm it oozed and I even went as far enough as to 100% it. All that's left are the updates that added more levels and bots and I'd love to see more stuff like this.

Game Boy Advance NSO app updated to Nintendo Classics - includes button remapping, 1080p handheld, and the GBA bootup sequence when tilting the analog stick on boot universonintendo.com/game-boy-adv... www.vooks.net/game-boy-adv...

I passed it. Now I just gotta practice for the full-on test and schedule it and I'm golden.

The 4th and final driving lesson is in less than an hour and I'm thankful for that late time as I don't have to semi rush or worry about everyone else not being available to take me. We'll see how it goes and I'll give an update on how well I did tomorrow due to how late it is.

I've finished my retro store visit with my mom and step-dad and while the PS2 I saw was gone just an hour before I made it (which the process of getting to the store took way longer than expected due to my parents) I did find a White Wii U with a Gamepad for cheap. Here's some pics I took for fun.

Gonna visit a retro store later today. There're a bunch of cool old stuff like old consoles and games, pokemon cards, toys, merchandise, pinball tables and arcade machines. I was able to get my step-dad interested with just the Sega stuff, let alone a Turbo Grafx 16 + TGCD and it'll be neat to see.

Since Star Wars Outlaws on the Switch 2 is releasing the same day as Hollow Knight Silksong and Ubisoft has yet to announce a delay to Outlaws... I don't think brand and company recognition will help what's obviously gonna happen next to Outlaws.

Don't know if I should get Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart since I haven't played any of the classic Ratchet and Clank games yet, even though I am very interested in the series. Any recommendations Ratchet fans?

3 down, 1 to go.

3rd driving lesson starts later today. Imma be set.

Bandai Namco when they heard that Silksong would drop a day before Everyone's Golf Hot Shots and would likely overshadow it:

Doodle Marsupial

Uhhhh. Yay? I don't know if I should be excited or concerned because this is a shocking inclusion. (But please let Mythologies be the PS1 version because not having those cutscenes is doing the spiritual successor to Batman Forever on SNES a massive disservice.)

Just watched the Kirby Air Riders direct and this game is definitely gonna be on my Switch 2 wishlist when I eventually get the console.

Lesson 2 passed!

Got a second driving lesson to attend to in a bit. Hopefully, it'll be smoother than the first.

I've had the mental image of Wario piledriving Donkey Kong for so long that I don't even know when it came up in my mind in the first place.

Looking back at the Indie World Direct from yesterday, it's so weird that they show UFO 50 in a sizzle reel, especially the last game shown in the direct thats releasing on the same day and considering how perfect that game is for Switch, I don't get why it couldn't get a spotlight like some others.

I hope the retro game store near me has a Wii U for a handful of reasons.

🧵 With the release of Jamboree TV not too long ago, Mario Party's Switch Era has ended. The Switch 2 has a lot to unpack & with what the Switch brought to the franchise, I'm excited for what this new Era will bring to the series for one massive reason. But first, let's look back at the Switch Era.

Man, I gotta set up a YouTube channel. I already have a unique means on how to make them (even if it is going to be a very time-consuming process), there are various things I want to talk about that can make as interesting videos and I gotta make that Youtube money to help with parts of my future.

6 mil in almost 2 months. Man, I can't begin to imagine what the holiday season will have in store for a console that still has a lot of demand since April's pre-orders, let alone Q3 reports.

Right at the end of the month in the middle of my second driving lesson... looks like I'm getting the inconvenient timing right now, but hey, I can look at it afterward and just avoid this app for a few hours.

Forefront: One Dusk

HOLY SHIT, THE ROBOTS WERE PRACTICAL EFFECTS?!? NO WONDER, THEY FELT BELIEVABLE!!!

Just took my first in-person driving lesson, which surprisingly was on my mom's birthday today. Didn't do too shabby for a first lesson and I do need to improve on a few aspects. But at the end of the day, I'm not in the hospital with my instructor, which is crazy knowing where I'm at.

Good morning. I just watched CGE's interview with the director of Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled and with further knowledge of many things that happened during the development of the game, why the GP only lasted 8 seasons and why him and a few members left Beenox, I decided to make a satirical meme.

Taiwan Coolfox? What is that ga- IS THAT FUCKING MILES "TAILS" PROWER IN BAGGY JEANS RUNNING FADES WITH RANDOM ANIMALS!?!

I'm hoping Bluesky drops an update where I can save drafts because this mario party thread is getting pretty tedious every time the app automatically closes.

Finished my steam sale shopping spree. Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy? That game's $4. I'd be stupid not to snag it! Sonic Adventure 1 and 2? Might as well get that over with. Gmod? Might be useful for something in the future. Peak? Might as well strike while the iron is hot. $30 well spent.

Heard of a rumor of a remaster of LittleBigPlanet & yeah, no, I don't buy it. I don't need any copium nor any grains of salt. I mean, why would Sony, after slowly delisting the entire trilogy & its DLC off stores & making an effort to remove the IP from the public mind, just greenlight a remaster?
