Wanted to take a minute to share and showcase this really cool 2019 #Sega Genesis/Mega Drive demo

"The Spiral"
By "Resistance"

The demo shows off some really impressive visual effects like normal mapping, tons of particles, physics, etc.

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.

What you're seeing here is Youtuber

Now THAT is certainly something I'd look forward to see if that ever happens.

The 32X in general is just such a cool little curiosity of untapped potential!
I would personally love to see more projects attempt to see how far it can truly be pushed

I would even argue that Virtua Racing on the Genesis with the SVP chip could probably do it, as that game looks to have way more polygons on screen than SMBjr

And ofc there is also the new SuperFX3 chip

The GBA version also had its "blocky" mode that cut vertical res in half but improved framerate

"Fortified Zone 2"
Is a 1992 overhead shooter for the #Gameboy, which sadly only saw a Japanese release back in the day

But thanks to @brokestudio.bsky.social
a localized, physical version is now available for all you collectors!

It's also easy to forget that there was even a Super Monkey Ball game for the Nokia N-Gage

I remember there also being a code in the GBA game that enabled
"Super Blocky Ball"

Which basically cut the vertical resolution in half, with the benefit of an improved framerate.

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
