@retronauts.bsky.social I was mucking around with my LG to and found that it has a ‘Super Mario Brothers’ channel. Is this a blessing or a curse??!

Love that people are capturing these old videos and putting them on YouTube, the S.S.T band were awesome

With all the hype around Final Fantasy Tactics being re-released I felt like I was missing out, so being a tightwad I decided to pick up the PSP version for Vita for the princely sum of £7.99. It seems nice so far though.

"Welcome to the Fantasy Zone!" Happy 40th birthday, Space Harrier! Released into Japanese arcades on 2nd October 1985, and blowing arcade fans away with even more advanced sprite scaling than Sega's first forays into it and an absolute riot of colour. "ARRRRGH!"

Lego Gameboy cart vs a real one, pretty close comparison really

News: Nintendo's Kanda Building in Tokyo is currently being demolished. (A history thread). This building was a big part of Nintendo's legacy. Mother 2 (Earthbound), Pokemon Snap and more were made here. For anyone in Tokyo wishing to take photos, this is your last chance (please be respectful).

Arcade Archives sale time! These Taito games are all 30% off, £4.05 on PS4 & £4.40 on Switch! Bubble Bobble Scramble Formation Puzzle Bobble (Neo Geo) Football Champ Halley's Comet Qix Champion Wrestler Cadash The Tin Star Rastan Saga All good picks, but try Cadash if you haven't!

It’s cool you can do this, I’m not a huge Steam user as I don’t have a PC, but at least I know I can still access these old purchases. I completely forgot I even bought Lumines!

I’ve only had a brief go on my Switch 2, but so far Mario Kart World is great, and I particularly enjoyed the Donkey Kong arcade themed level with the girders and barrels

Inspired by @katbailey.bsky.social , I’ve decided to start a year of Persona, as today is the date Persona 4 starts. I’ve never played it before, but like the premise so far, hopefully I’ll stick to it!

It looks like I’ve secured a Switch 2 pre-order, if they actually get an allocation. Now I just need to make a Flip Grip 2 for it!

@bloodgodpod.bsky.social looks like the sort of deal you would like

This is one of my favourite games of all time and great to read an article about it. I remember playing it in the arcades in London, and loving it, plus was fortunate enough to have bought a used AES by then, so on a subsequent trip I bought the cart on Tottenham Court Road. Great memories!

Retro gamer magazine usually has a decent cover, but I particularly like this months

Great news, cool game with a good soundtrack

Went into my loft to get Xmas decorations out for the family and though I’d check some unlabelled boxes. I genuinely thought I’d thrown all my Anime VHS away, but I guess not!

www.hamster.co.jp/en/release/2... 5 ACA games at 30% off & 5 ACA Neo Geo at 50% off GunNail is better than the PCB & Mame as you can turn the damn 'YOU'RE ON YOUR LAST LIFE' endless siren off Score play = be on last life at all times. So whether you were good or bad, you were going deaf. Not now🔇

As a Metal Slug fan I didn’t have a huge amount of hope for the tactics game, but it sounds decent and is on gamepass, so that’s a double win!

Not sure how I missed it, but this is a nice idea which I’m going to try out, although being old fashioned I’d prefer they release some CDs and vinyl. I’d love a Marioworld vinyl, maybe one day?
