Just a 🇩🇰 Danish retro game enthusiast and novice translation romhacker
Pinned
I just realized that between December 1st and January 1st, I uploaded no less than 15 #Danish translation #romhacks To RomHackPlaza!

Meaning there are now 1,500% more #NES games available to enjoy in Danish than before!

Here's an upcoming, super endearing #indie game that I'm certain will appeal to all you fans of #PaperMario out there

"Escape from Ever After"

As a storybook hero, you have to fight off a greedy Megacorp from taking over fairytales

Seriously.
Why did we never receive a Secret of NIMH game? >:c

It feels like a setting that would've lend itself really well to a game.

In today's issue of Regional Video Game Boxart Comparisons
We have:

Milon's Secret Castle
For the #Gameboy

The U.S here going for a more epic, 90s high fantasy theme

Where the EU, goes more for a cozy, chibi aesthetic.

Which do you prefer?
U.S < or > EU

No weird, out of left field addition.

If you're a fan of #homebrew #gaming
then @snesdrunk.bsky.social has a new video up that might be just up your alley.

The video puts some spotlight on a lot of cool projects, both old and new.

One game I've always been curious whether could feasably be run on a #SNES with the SuperFX2 or a #Sega 32X with some necessary tweaks

Would be
Super Monkey Ball

Graphically, it doesn't look THAT much more intense than Starfox 2 or Stunt Race FX

They got it working on #GBA afterall

Still the best Kart racer of its generation.

And that AMAZING, timeless soundtrack!

That ridiculously cruel & intimating Wizpig showoff still evokes all or my childhood PTSD to this day xD

I never was able to beat him

#Timesplitters 2 & Future Perfect has always been among my most beloved FPS games of the 2000s.
They were basically spiritual sequels to Goldeneye & Perfect Dark

"Timesplitters Rewind"
Is a new, lovingly crafted remake

If you've also been feeling that craving for a that new #Starfox game for ages that #Nintendo refuses to give us,

Then you should check out:

As if seeing Super Mario 64 running on #PS1 yesterday wasn't bamboozling enough

Today, "Frogbull" on Youtube uploaded a tech demo of #Spyro running on #N64 hardware

This is some parallel universe stuff

"Udo Kier"

I'm telling you,
#FinalFantasy Tactics is just such a treasure trove of great quotable lines

Some of these pack a lot of heavy but very, topical and relevant truths to them too.

This time, it's on the #NES!

You know what everyone loves?
That's right. #Duke3D!

But you know what is also really awesome?
Voxels!
Combine them, and you'll get

"Voxel Duke Nukem 3D"

Where all 2D sprite assets have been replaced with 3D voxel recreations

I found this delightful little action-adventure game earlier today and wanted to share

"Spindle"
By Wobble Ghost

You can probably tell that this game is heavily inspired by #zelda, where you go through dungeons, acquire new tools and items, and beat elaborate boss battles

"The 8-Bit Guy" over on YouTube looks to be working on a new #homebrew project for the #VIC20.
This one will be a falling-block puzzle-type game

This here is something I've always hoped we'd see some day.
Super Mario 64 on #PS1

Even in this early state, this looks & plays pretty much exactly how you'd expect SM64 to.

This is both exceptionally impressive and a bit sacrilegious

Kameo: Elements of Power was actually the game that made me want to pick up a Xbox 360, day one

I remember in 2001, I picked up this magazine that came with a promotional VHS with footage of Kameo, back when it was still in development for GameCube.
I thought it looked so cool.
