STOP THE PRESSES.

The ROM for the unreleased Famicom RPG Splatter World has been released (in a thread on 4chan, of all places). I've tried it myself, and it does seem to be genuine. If it's a fake, it's a damn good one.

Expect (more) coverage on West Mansion soon.

There's a section in here about Boku 2 and I was interviewed for it. Please give it a watch.
New video about the PlayStation 2, the vast amount of games that made it such a legendary console, and the time that slipped through our fingers.

What he meant was Boku no Natsuyasumi 2 takes place on a peninsula, not an island.

This will make sense in several months.

Every RPG has to have a donation mechanic where you have no idea how much to give it or what you even get from it.

Gunslinger Girl for PS2 contains an early beta version you can play by changing the extension of a file on the disc to ".iso". That beta itself contains yet another even earlier beta within it, hidden the same way.

The 90's were a great time if you were a Japanese band and you wanted your own video game vanity project. None of these are even rhythm games.

(1/8) It's time for another English translation patch release for the FM Towns!

This time, it's Queen Soft's "Gambler: Queens Cup", part graphic adventure romance sim, part horse betting sim (yes, you read that correctly).

If you haven't yet played the Boku no Natsuyasumi 2 English patch, consider starting your playthrough on August 1st. I recommend playing an in-game day every day so your playthrough syncs up with the real calendar. You won't regret it. Link to the patch here: www.patreon.com/posts/boku-n...

If you 100% complete Jingle Cats, you're rewarded with a mysterious password. Not even Japanese fans seem to know what to do with it.
