reminder(?): Aquapazza, the Arcana Heart devs' Aquaplus crossover fighting game from 2011, just hit PC store.steampowered.com/app/3229260/... this is a raw port of the old PS3 build with all the same issues, which include poor performance, bad-even-for-the-time delay-based netcode, etc etc

A manga titled "Mark Cerny: America's Leading Gaming Genius and His Friends" was created for Jugemu Magazine in 1999 (in association with PlayStation). Cerny, Naughty Dog's Jason Rubin and Andy Gavin with Crash Bandicoot are featured. Where's the anime adaptation? Link: archive.org/details/juge...

Sagaia (Game Boy), which was a Amazon bonus game for one of the Darius comps in Japan and later tacked onto a different physical intl Switch comp by SLG; ¥100 store-jp.nintendo.com/item/softwar... the emulation's super basic on both but if you want em, they're as cheap as they'll ever be

In the arcade version of Neo Geo Battle Coliseum, bonus colors and win quotes could be won through the AW-Net online service. Though both were retained in the console port, the English version replaced the often referential bonus win quotes with generic, uncharacteristic ones.

When you think there's something Clyde need to ought to know.

Tonight on the Gaming Hell Stream, we're looking at arcade games that never made it past their location test, focusing on puzzle games like Freeze and... Farts? www.twitch.tv/tepidsnake

Yakuza Kiwami 3 mention spotted on series official website The official Japanese website for the Yakuza / Like a Dragon series listed, then removed, a news category for the unannounced Yakuza Kiwami 3 earlier today.

Oh, this week's Arcade Archives is a good one- Taito's 1980 protect-em-up Steel Worker, when you have to construct a path for the worker to keep him safe, with more points awarded for longer pathways. A very interesting early arcade puzzle game, of sorts! www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WJC...

The artwork of Master Fighter VI, a bootleg of Street Fighter II for the #Famicom. Removed logo/text, taking few liberties, applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch combo. The artist seems to draw inspiration from Tetsuo Hara's work. Shoutout to @pc98audi.bsky.social for providing the scan!

Roughly two and a half months and I got the platinum trophy for Death Stranding 2. Shot has been redacted to avoid potential spoilers.

Tonight on the Gaming Hell Stream, we've got some unfinished business on Corneria. Let's finish Star Fox Assault! www.twitch.tv/tepidsnake

I also would like to point you in the direction of Kimimi's blog on the first game, an excellent read~ kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com/2020/02/06/w...

If you'd like to read more about both Numan Athletics and Mach Breakers, I wrote about both games a good while ago. Highly recommended, and both are available on Arcade Archives now! www.gaminghell.co.uk/NumanAthleti...

This week's Arcade Archives release is a big one- Namco's Mach Breakers, the 1995 sequel to Numan Athletics. Mash the buttons and test your timing and reflexes as you compete in wild and over-the-top events as superhuman athletes! Dreamwidth post! tepidsnake.dreamwidth.org/25933.html

Tonight on the Gaming Hell Stream, we've done the SNES and N64 games, so let's move up to the Gamecube and play Star Fox Assault! www.twitch.tv/tepidsnake

MiSTER Pi Packs are back in stock as a non-preorder. We also added a 4-Player N64 SNAC Adapter & MiSTER Pi RTC to the store. Preorders for the third shipping batch window of SuperStation are also live.🎮

Not a joke, either. Even the update post mentions video gambling systems but fails to mention the heretofore unemulated, rare, nigh impossible to find and play properly FUCKING HYPER NEOGEO 64 GAMES. These being actually promoted to Working is a big deal, but gotta mention improved BBC micro.

At this stage, a lot of MAME updates are things like English pub fruit machines or godforsaken 2000s plug'n'play crap, but every now and again you get a goodun.

Much like my Xbox account - which has been prompting me to verify my age recently - my Steam account is 20 years old Its such a fuckin joke

Been living in the same place for over a decade and delivery companies still get the wrong fucking building. My games are at a nearby location (got the delivery photo) which is now gone.

This week's Arcade Archives game is Scrambled Egg by Technōs (their last ACA game was in 2016!) from 1983. Kick to crack the eggs open and save the baby chicks from the Sukiyaki Bros. while avoiding the hungry Tuna Head! Dreamwidth post! tepidsnake.dreamwidth.org/25157.html

Have shopped from MediaOCD and they seem fine for UK shipping. All the Anime/Anime Limited still has the standard edition available in the UK so that's an option too.
