The artwork of #GunForce used for arcade flyers across the world as well as for the cover of the #SuperFamicom release, and advertising in Japan. Usual upscale/clean/retouch process applied. No clue on the artist, any info let me know!

Every few years I get obsessed with Dragon Crystal for Game Gear. I'm currently in that mode. I've never made it past floor 10 until today when I made it to floor 25! Maybe I can beat this thing for once?

The artwork of #GuardianHeroes by Tetsuhiko Kikuchi aka HAN, used for advertising the #SegaSaturn release on magazines in Japan. Removed logo, taking a few liberties to redo the spot, applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch process.

Every time I play Kirby's Adventure, I'm amazed at how snappy it is. Just a really solid game even by today's standards.

I forgot today was Black Friday. I guess I didn't buy anything for Black Friday.

I tried to play Super Mario Land 2. I've played it many times. It has never really clicked with me. I think this time might be my last though. I just prefer the first one a lot more. It's not BAD there's just other games I'd rather be playing.

Also the best Double Dragon game.
It’s #ThirstyThursday but who needs smut when you’ve got retro gaming artwork!!

First up: the ridiculously good JP cover for Double Dragon on the Game Boy which has no right to be this good!!

I think I'm gonna try to knock out a replay of A Link Between Worlds before Prime 4 hits. It's been a while since I played that. It's still my favorite Zelda game.

I sat on my deck today in fabulous weather playing Kirby Planet Robobot for a few hours today. What a fantastic afternoon.

We promised a big announcement today, and it'll take a few posts in a thread to introduce a big one...

Project A-ko Perfect Collection 4K!

A-ko in 4K is a big deal & this is probably our craziest kitchen sink disc yet, so let's have a quick introduction to what the release will be...

I was just thinking I should finish grabbing the blu-rays. I'll wait on this instead.

3 matches in the new Dissidia is all I needed to know it's awful. Just give us a legit, good Dissidia please. Or remaster 012.

It's #VNNovember. Ya boy doesn't do VNs. However, it's way past time that I played through Hotel Dusk, so close enough.

I love anime girls with magical orbs in video games. They used to be really prevalent in the late 80s to mid 90s. You know, those solid, spherical objects, often floating in the air. Here's just a small collection of such girls (I'll leave out obvious fortune tellers):

I think gen AI usage in Tokusatsu is problematic and not just for the typical reasons.

Toku as a genre is one that emphasizes style over verisimilitude, where being distinct matters more than looking good. This is a thing American adaptations usually fail to understand about it.
