Some modern STGs are conscious of possibly being anyone's first arcade scrolling shooter, and bend themselves into knots trying to be an entire genre tutorial before being their own identifiable game.

As ever, make the games/music/videos/writing you'd want to enjoy, and others will enjoy it too.
liking game genres that spawned from the arcades condemns you to forever suffer cuz no one outside of the bubble gets it and every developer wants to the appeal to the guy who doesn't get it

The genuinely upsetting elements of Road Trip's story show Sakurai has a deeper understanding and appreciation of the direction Kirby games went without him, but anyone who believes Sakurai hates those games doesn't care about that. They're just mad they can't play as their blorbo in the new game.

Super Mario Bros. 2 is actually a reskin of a japanese game called "Doki Doki Panic" as the japanese Super Mario Bros. 2 was too hard for America

i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago

symptom of a sick society that the popular gaming service "Steam" has official tags for "roguelike deckbuilder" and "extraction shooter" but not "virtual pet" or "burgertime clone"

this is particularly interesting in the modern age where staunch adherence to genre consensus seems to be more emphasized than ever by both publishers and players alike
Kirby Air Riders is a fascinating litmus test re: whether or not you are insulted or delighted by Legacy Skill At Kart Racers being utterly pointless in a new video game

Please stop spreading the odious rumor that Elon Musk hangs out normally or has friends.
I've seen this image enough now that I feel like I should point out it's fake.

kirby air riders is an action game on wheels cleverly disguised as a mascot kart racer and its closest relatives are actually games like post-fusion wipeout and twisted metal

I used to think that my feelings on games looking more unique when I was a kid was mostly nostalgia. Turns out I was just right all along. This is a video about that.
Yes, games really WERE cooler years ago

Kicking off with some birthday greets to the Super Famicom! Released in Japan on this day 35 years ago.

Fearing Yakuza were going to hijack shipments of Super Fami's, Nintendo trucked them in secret to stores: Operation Midnight Shipping.

What are some of your favourite SF or SNES games, peeps?
