The famous "Bus Station Street Fighter" (Street Fighter de Rodoviária) here in Brazil.
We had many hacked arcades in these places here.

Street Fighter de Rodoviária
Nada como jogar uma péssima versão pirata de Street Fighter, o game de luta mais famoso da história dos jogos eletrônicos.

Trading messages with a JP dude about my bootleg videos, made me realize there's a bit of context I never properly explained:

Bootleg games like Street Fighter & Donkey Kong Countryon NES or Tekken on the Mega Drive existed because +

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

Hazbin Hotel Season 2 is the only time I've ever seen where every dub has the actor singing in their own language, and then have them all shift to singing in Japanese

After watching Back to The Future 1 in the theaters, I decided to revisit part 2.

And while I enjoyed it... it wasn't as good as I remember. Part 1 still slaps though

I almost fell for an attempt to hack my channel today.

But thankfully, @slopesgameroom.bsky.social made a video talking about this exact scam earlier this year

Just finished this and up until the last one I was discovering stuff and while not everything is to my taste (I'm more Shooters Ready than Beyond Citadel 😅)

I'm soooooo grateful to @st1ka.bsky.social for covering all of this.

This is fabulously good work here!!!
I am covering EVERY First Person Shooter EVER made in Japan.

From 1985 to 2025, that's over 40 years and 70 games of gaming history.

This was without a doubt the most ambitious video I've ever made.

My coworker has the Green Hill Zone theme as his ringtone.

I ask if he likes Sonic.

"No, but my son is a Sonic fanatic"

"How old is he?"

"16"

One of my favorite parts of this video? You can scrub two hours into it and still hear how much joy he has when talking about the games. Truly a labor of love to make a lot of these titles more accessible to new players.

WHAT?!
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.

Highly recommend all writers check this out!
So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...

It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.

Please share :)

Today I’m putting my money where my mouth is and launching a new project — a book focused on game history outside of the usual North American perspectives.
