It is possible to break the Frog Flap microgame in WarioWare simply by being too skillful. Red platforms speed up the frog, blue ones slow it down. By skipping red platforms and landing on the blue ones, the frog will eventually start flying and never come back down.

Well, when you're up against all sorts of otherworldly horrors dispatched by a secret organization based in an orbital station, then you really are going to need a massive cannon. Liveman (1989) was the fourth super sentai series to air in France, further stoking the tokusatsu popularity there.

These past few days I've been trading DMs with a Japanese dude who organizes Street Fighter tournaments in Osaka. He took a major interest in my bootleg videos and how JP media was bootlegged/pirated across the world & how it was perceived in Portugal Super rewarding convos

You don't need me to tell you this is yet more good money being burned after bad. But as someone who's worked with that QA team, I'll say they're unsung heroes who truly play a huge role in maintaining SE's reputation for high quality locs and to attempt to replace them with AI is deeply insulting.

Because SE's QA people are probably not in a position to defend themselves and their jobs in public, I want to spell out some of what it is they specifically do for us localizers, because nothing I've written here is rhetorical. SE QA acts as a final check on our work after translation and editing.

When you go into a film-licence Game Boy title expecting not much more than the usual action-platformer fare, and it instead slaps you about the face with a first-person adventure game with light RPG elements. "Hah, take that! I'm cut from a different cloth!" 📺: DragonHeart, Torus Games, 1996

For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

Another tech bro run thing you really should stop using if you haven't already. Our phones can hold cavernous amounts of MP3s, music-only devices can be found in abundance, and there's stuff like Bandcamp for direct artist support. Fresh reminder that ModRetro's founder also funds death dealing.

Hey, happy 30th birthday GameFAQs! Launched on November 5th, 1995! The earliest scrape I can find on Wayback is December 1996, but I doubt the site changed much. But yes, here it is in its earliest days as the Video Game FAQ Archive!

I just like CRTs, what can I say?

The rugged near-future sci-fi and space tech of PLANETES (2004, Sunrise). Set in 2075, Planetes focuses around the day-to-day lives of a bunch of ordinary workers in 'Debris Section', responsible for keeping the orbital paths of Earth free of hazardous debris.

Guys, gals, and nonbinary pals: Anime Herald Magazine is getting a second issue.

We've found plenty of keitai freeware games, but "Super Merio" has shown up on multiple devices. As the name suggests, it's a Mario clone. Released in 2001, it's one of the earliest pieces of keitai freeware that we've preserved. It has two sequels (?) and even a spinoff called "Dr. Merio."
