To this day, Super Mario 64 is one of my favorite video games. Period. Words cannot describe how much of a game changer it was, but it blew my mind in 1996. And the best part is that it still holds up! It's just as much fun for me today as it ever was. I adore this game.

September 29 1996, The Nintendo 64 debuted in the Americas WITH Super Mario 64 and Pilot Wings 64! The N64 was originally to be called the Ultra 64, then changed. Konami owned the trademark for "Ultra Games", ironically because Nintendo limited 3rd party NES game production years before! 🕹️1/2🕹️

As someone who only got a Dreamcast earlier this year, I wholeheartely agree with the cozy moniker for it. I guess it has more to do with the console's (and its games') Y2K aesthetics above all else.

Inside, the original purchase receipt from 1999. Someone dropping a hefty £80 for Crash 3 and Turok for N64 from HMV.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is already out and it is already being hailed as a worthy competitor to the Mario Kart games. Read more about how on CBR (@cbr.bsky.social): www.cbr.com/end-of-era-m...

I purposely made it so if you were to search "Famicon" on FamiWiki, you'd be redirected to the Family Convection Oven by SHARP instead of the Family Computer home console by Nintendo. If you want to know why we even have a page about a home appliance read the page to find out.

You forgot the loud *BEEP* the Dreamcast controller's VMU makes when you turn it on.

Sony is suing Tencent for ripping off Horizon Zero Dawn, but Tencent is claiming that Sony's copied other games too. Read more about it on CBR (@cbr.bsky.social): www.cbr.com/tencent-sony...

I am proud to have represented CBR (@cbr.bsky.social) at the Retro World Expo in Hartford, Conn. last weekend. I found it to be a perfect example of retro gamers coming together to share their passions. Read more about it here: www.cbr.com/retro-world-...

September 16 2002, Animal Crossing debuted on the GameCube in the Americas! The game was originally released a year prior on the N64 as Dōbutsu no Mori (Animal Forest) and was so popular that it was enhanced and translated for worldwide release on the GameCube!

Good night peeps. Sweet 8-bit Dreams 😴💤💤💤

Third and final day here at Retro World Expo in Hartford, Conn. It has been an honor covering this event for CBR (@cbr.bsky.social).

Day 2 of covering Retro World Expo for CBR (@cbr.bsky.social) is complete. Bigger crowd compared to yesterday, along with more exciting events.

I’m in Hartford this weekend on behalf of CBR (@cbr.bsky.social) to report on the ongoing Retro World Expo. The first day drew in a big crowd of retro gamers young and old. It’s a wonder what Saturday and Sunday will bring.

Objects of desire... The Divers 2000 CX-1 Dreamcast + TV combi, with network capabilities and DreamEye digital camera. Co-developed by Sega, CSK, and Fuji, it had a tiny production run, numbering just two hundred. The remote is essential as it's the only way to switch it into DC mode.

Digging into our digital archive today... We have a flyer for Bill Budge's Pinball Construction Set, "the first software toy," which paved the way for future toy-games like SimCity archive.gamehistory.org/item/858a62d...

On this day of PS in NA 30th anniversary celebration, if you'd like to comfy up with a deep dive into the disc that those who pre-ordered it would have already had to slot in, then check out my feature on it. Hear it Now! Play It Later!

On 9.9.99, 26 years ago, SEGA released their final console. The Dreamcast. Y'all know I talk about it all the time, but I love it so much. Dreamcast may have been short-lived, but it left a huge impression on me and I still think it's one of the all-time greats. Happy 9.9.99 Day, everyone.

Picked this up today - a former rental copy of Killer Instinct on the SNES! Video rental stores would cut up the original boxes and that’s what happened here. For $15, I absolutely cannot complain.

A Sega Saturn kiosk is a fine site to see in the wild! This one was unplugged. I love the Saturn!

This time next week, I will be in Hartford, Conn. to cover the Retro World Expo for CBR (@cbr.bsky.social). More specifically, with the Nintendo Entertainment System's 40th anniversary coming up, it would be a sight to see what impact the console has had over the last 40 years.

Uncertain as to my exact first video game console (split between Nintendo 64, GameCube or Game Boy Advance), but my first (then-)current-gen console was an Xbox 360. I have fond memories of games like Skate, Kung Fu Panda and the myriad of Xbox Live Arcade titles like Marble Blast Ultra.

Your gateway to the smoothest, fastest PC graphics of the late 90s.

To think Nintendo would ROB this idea from Sega. /j

It happened, I am now the proud owner of the RAREST FAMICOM CARTRIDGE* (that was commercially released in Japan) I cannot put into words how happy I am, especially with the added bonus of that price tag no less!

Whether or not Roblox shuts down in the foreseeable future, there are already a myriad of clones ready to take the spotlight. Read more about it on CBR (@cbr.bsky.social): www.cbr.com/roblox-shutd...

COMIX ZONE is still one of the raddest titles for the SEGA Genesis / Mega Drive and deserves to be experienced. I personally think it's one of the best games on the console!

Happy 34th birthday to the Super Nintendo in North America!

Just in case you didn't know already, this is an example of what peak gaming looks like.

SEGA Dreamcast commercials were so well done, and this one for Crazy Taxi is no exception. I miss fun ads like this so much!

The Bubsy video game franchise is making a comeback almost thirty years after the infamous Bubsy 3D. Read more about it on CBR (@cbr.bsky.social): www.cbr.com/throwback-bu...

"A dream bridge between Game Boy software and Super Famicom." What a cute ad for the Super Game Boy! Now you could experience a whole new dimension of colour in your favourite GB games, plus some cute borders!

I was today years old when I learned that a travel guide was produced for the Game Boy in 1991 and that it has a cute little pixel animation to represent the character of each major city it covers.
