interesting note about Battletoads being added to the NES NSO app.

it seems the Japanese publishing rights to the game have finally reverted to Microsoft, previously it was published by Masaya, which was acquired by "extreme" in 2014.
they were doing their own re-releases for it as recently as 2021
the box for a 2021 cartridge re-release of the game, which has Masaya's logo on it. the game running on the "PicoPico" retro game subscription service for iOS and Android, while the app is available worldwide. this is one of the few games to be region-locked, only being playable if you're in Japan. the Japanese copyright info shown in the trailer, which doesn't mention extreme. "バトルトード © Microsoft 1991. All rights reserved. Battletoads™ Is a trademark of the Microsoft group of companies."

the worst joke of all time.
Ares Rising sounds like... "Now you can get your chance to prove that you are the hot-shot space pilot you say you are. As you are thrust into the middle of an intergalactic adventure, you must rely on your wits, guts, and raw piloting skills to survive. The Interactive demo contains 6 missions for you to fly."

from the 2020 Netflix documentary series "High Score". Rebecca Ann Heineman discusses her stint at winning the Atari 2600 Space Invaders championship in 1980, the first tournament of it's kind.

as well as how video games helped her deal with gender dysphoria.

more from the @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social library.
screenshots & box art of the unreleased "Warhammer 40,000: Dark Crusaders"
archive.gamehistory.org/folder/3c708...

oddly the majority of images in the folder are mislabeled, actually being renders for the 1996 adventure game "9: The Last Resort"
an ad for the game included in the Mindscape Visions booklet "Deep within the Satis Prime system, your Battle Barge begins its orbit around the fourth planet on your mission to discover the disappearance of an Imperal Base. As one of the commanders of the Dark Angel Cahpter, you must honor your Chapter and deliver justice with holy fire as dark secrets are to be revealed. Treachery and evil as dark as the Eye of Terror will befall the Empire if you fail! Join the ranks of the Dark Angel Brotherhood and fulfill the Emperor's will. As the Emperor's mailed fist, it is the honor of the chapters to do the Emperor's bidding and defeat the forces of Chaos" a bright red hallway Castle the cover, oddly this seems to be a photograph rather than a proper scan.

since it doesn't seem to be in the @divine.video archives, now seems like a good time to reshare the highly mysterious video teasers Bethesda uploaded to Vine back in April 2013.

....where the heck am i?
the outside of a "Gamers Geekery & Tavern", i happened to be in the area visiting some friends, and we ended up eating there. the menu. which features a strange mix of Tabletop Gaming terms (Candyland, Mouse Trap.) and sort of Video Games (Super Mario, Dragonball.) the food was okay. but it's clearly a place just designed for sharing Tabletop sessions in public and nothing else.

MATH FAIL: game retailer Fanatical is holding a "30th Birthday Bash" sale, even though they were born in 2012 under the name "Bundle Stars"
web.archive.org/web/20121206...

the date actually refers to parent company Focus Multimedia Ltd, though it's off by a few months.
the listing of "PulluP Entertainment", Focus's parent enterprise. on the French company database Société. the founding date is listed as February 8th 1995. a marketing banner for the "30th BIRTHDAY BASH" the original blog post announcing the formation of Bundle Stars, which as the name suggests only did bundles. "So we’re out of beta, and our first bundle is here. Eight awesome games, all supplied with Steam keys. Which is your favourite? Men of War Vietnam? Real Warfare? Be sure to let us know on our Facebook page or Twitter feed. One word about the bonus unlockable game. Real Warfare 2 can be unlocked immediately after purchase by visiting our Facebook page and running the “Unlock My Bundle” app. You’re probably wondering what the app does – don’t worry, it’s totally safe and really quick to use. You’ll be asked to like our Facebook page, and then your eighth game will be unlocked within your bundlestars.com account. That’s it. If you buy the bundle but don’t want to use Facebook, then just wait until week two and the game will magically appear in your Bundle Stars account anyway. On the subject of Facebook, we have discovered a gremlin which means that registering on bundlestars.com with a different email address to your Facebook-registered email is confusing the unlock app. Our dev is looking at this right now. The Dynamite Bundle must end on December 19th. Enjoy the games, and I’ll see you back here on December 20th for a brand new bundle… Finally, a lot of hard work has gone on behind the scenes making Bundle Stars over the last few months. I’d like to thank the team here at Focus Multimedia who put everything together and made it all work seamlessly; we’re only a small team but it’s amazing what you can achieve when you are passionate about what you do. Also a massive thanks goes to to 1C Games for working with us on our inaugural bundle (may Sir Harry save the Hoops and all who sail in her!)."

the Nintendo Store app wants me to know that i downloaded one of the EXTREMELY LATE Turbografx-16 Virtual Console releases on Wii U.

not only was this added months after the Switch launched, but Nintendo confirmed they were closing the Wii Shop Channel (it had an upgrade path) around the same time.
Bomberman '93 listed on the Nintendo Store app, the "First Played" date is the exact day it was added to the Wii U eShop. a screenshot of the Virtual Console emulator settings menu, which i took when it initially released.

in a particularly brazen case of corporate espionage, the official CG Shaders demo included in the PS3 SDK uses photos taken at Microsoft's offices as example textures.
one angle showing banners with a mouse cursor on them, and a statue of Bill Gates(?) himself. another angle showing a creepy statue of a woman alongside a promotional prop for what appears to be MSN. the smoking gun, this angle clearly shows a molded Microsoft logo from what is likely the front desk. the readme file included with the demo. "[SCE CONFIDENTIAL DOCUMENT] Cell Evaluation System 030.014 Copyright (C) 2004 Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. All Rights Reserved. -------------------------- shaderDemo sample -------------------------- This sample shows how to use Cg shaders with the the JS library. It demonstrate a reflection/refraction shader with chromatic aberrations. * How to compile You first need to compile the png library if you haven't yet. To do so, go to ../COLLADA/external-libs and type 'make'. Then back in this directory, type 'make', it will compile all the source files and shaders. * How to run Just type 'make run', it will copy the needed files and start the console server. Then, power-cycle the CEB-1000 unit, and the sample will run."

astounding examples of placeholder games Sony used when providing documentation on the PS3 Playstation Store to developers.
Includes classics like "Football Japan 06", "Deadman's Question", "Eleven", "Guitar Kids Rhapsody", and "Punch Out" (actually a bowling game). and the checkout screen, which lists DLC for "Go Go Golf".
