The 8BitDo N64 controller is magical. It feels almost wrong to play N64 games with such comfort. Life is beautiful.

I’m genuinely impressed by the marketing efforts surrounding the release of the Exit 8 movie in Japan. Not only is the release advertised everywhere and pretty much impossible to miss, I’ve also seen some really creative and interesting stuff in both Kyoto and Tokyo, which is great to see!

I’m equally scared of leaving my beloved Kyoto as I am excited to move to Tokyo this weekend. Life’s weird!

I love my Switch 2, but I wish it were a bit smaller and lighter. I replayed my OG Switch earlier today and was shocked at how much easier it is to hold and use in comparison.

I left little critiques on lots of game trailers so here's a thread with the most common issues (and additional reading) 🧵
1. Don't put logos at the start. It's just dead air that could be gameplay, which is 100000000X more interesting.

The word selfie was invented in 2002, but in 1999, Final Fantasy gave us the RPG character most likely to take/post selfies in the history of video games, and her name was Selphie. And yet somehow some people still don’t think that the world is a beautiful miracle

Playing Final Fantasy VI, Dragon Quest V and Chrono Trigger at the same time in 2025 might sound like a bizarre experiment (and it probably is), but it’s a surprisingly great way to compare how each game manages to be amazing in its own way even by today’s standards

Drag X Drive credits are really interesting:
Director: Yoshinori Konishi (programmer on Mario Kart 7 & 8)
Programming: Hiroki Hamaue (Switch Sports)
Producer: Hisashi Nogami (Animal Crossing, Splatoon)
Music: Sayako Doi (Animal Crossing, Mario Wonder)
Staff is a mix of various EPD teams 🤔

A few weeks before starting my new job, I’ve been thinking back to the first 2 games I "shipped" as a marketing intern at Bandai Namco France in 2015. Despite joining at the end of their campaigns, I learned so much in such a short time, and it was the perfect way to kickstart my career in gaming

Being ok with not finishing all the games I play has completely changed the way I enjoy video games. I wish I had that realization earlier in my life!
