At what point do I just become a Rematch streamer??

File this one under “bangerz”

Who doesn’t love a cheeky chip?

WE’RE GOING DIGITAL 🎸

In honor of the 40th anniversary, my anecdote from the EGM issue #200 cover feature “Top 200 Games of Their Time” on Super Mario Bros. — which, of course, ranked #1. Shout out to Scott Dunn for turning me on to the crazy new game he played at Godfather’s Pizza in Brentwood

Fire Emblem makes any Direct a 10/10 tbh

🏮🌾☁️🎐

I never post here, but i found out my book was used to train AI, so now I'm doing my part to try and bankrupt those fucksticks. Got a book? Let's sue 'em together!

Reminder: if you are worried about AI replacing you as an artist: don’t use AI voices, If you don’t want composing to be handed over to AI: don’t use it to write text. You get the idea. If you value your job: protect others jobs too.

This is one of the coolest things we've got to do since starting @denkiworks.bsky.social. It was really rad that such a large partner were so interested in what we are doing here and with TANUKI... that they'd want to support us and make a documentary about it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9Ud...

Addicted to Rematch for moments like this. Down a goal with seconds left, 12, 11, 10. Everybody wants the ball but you’re the one who has it. Can you be a hero? Why the hell not.

Happy World International 8-4 Day from Tokyo 🎉 Ultra busy wrapping up a dream project over here so no time to play stuff for “fun” at the moment but if you’ve got the time and the inclination, why not play some video games today? ❤️

Dear me, I was…is out today! Took me about an hour to play in full. It’s light on interactivity but packs real emotional punch, and good god is it gorgeous. A real triumph in textless storytelling—and only $8! It’ll be in my head and my heart for a long time to come.

This game looks like everything Fashion Dreamer wasn’t and I’m SO READY 😭🫶🥹

Lots I’d love from this Direct but I’m especially keen for something in the Style Savvy vein, something creative and relaxing and full of characters asking for help and getting it.

Kawaguchiko for the weekend. Hoping for better Fooj tomorrow

FIFA is, as usual, disgusting

This game kicks so much ass

I’m sorry, I’m grateful, really I am—but wtf is this? My first Crown Rare is a backpack? Incredible.

Welp, guess I’m replaying Hotel Dusk again while I wait for this beauty to arrive

One last shout for this ahead of today's showdown in Seattle!

One of FIFA’s biggest mistakes (which isn’t surprising considering their inherent sexism) is not launching the women’s Club World Cup first. It’s actually desired and would be so well received, which would have laid the blueprint for the men and given FIFA proof of concept to sell.

It’s not an exaggeration to say I owe my career in large part to Jake’s generosity and belief. He’s an A+ guy and a constant inspiration to this day.

Nintendo just announced a new Splatoon game on Nintendo Today???? Splatoon Raiders

It’s HERE!! The incredibly talented and passionate team here @17-bit.bsky.social have been working for years on the ultimate physics-based dungeon brawler, inspired by the aesthetics of Japanese action-RPG classics of yesteryear. An amazing partnership with CULT too!

Didn’t expect to be overcome with Digimon hype on Switch 2 launch day, but then I remembered I’m me

Today on Astral City Mini, I sing a brief ode to the @play.date: the little yellow game console that reminds me how to have fun. astralcitymini.com/2025/06/03/a...

The #WELeague has released its 24-25 season summary. It's all in Japanese but lots of good insight into the league's successes and how it's trying to build. 🧵 of highlights follows: #woso #womensfootball #womenssoccer

March in the neighborhood

Perfect observation.

Took a trip to Lake Suwa some weekends ago and it was magic

Honored to join such an all-star cast for the localization of Monster Hunter Wilds! Hope everyone is having a blast with it ☺️

With college looming, Aisling begins an unlikely romance with a teen soccer star as he dazzles in the World Cup. But as reality and opportunity come knocking, they’ll both have to decide if the lives they’re building are even compatible. Permanent Record + Field Notes on Love #2025pit #YA #CR

Sunday earning its name

In a bit of a gaming slump at the moment and ready to solicit recs from the internet. Been leaning toward comforting classics, which mostly means Nintendo games of a certain era; GBA, GameCube, DS, Wii. Remasters/remakes welcome, as are newer games with similar energy. Please, save me 🙏

This week in Shinjuku

Days like this I really miss Nintendo Power. Swell of excitement as your world is rewritten in real time, stylus, nunchuck, Revolution. The future spread across two pages. Every still a springboard for daydreams, possibilities to ponder till next month, next issue, when the cycle starts anew.

Wintery Tokyo might be my favorite Tokyo
