What an incredible night! 🙌
The Death Stranding "Strands of Harmony" performance at the Sydney Opera House was perfection.
Surreal to hear so much of the series' music performed not only by an incredibly talented orchestra, but the composer himself AND singer of BB's Theme.
Keep on keeping on. 👍

The new Hyrule Warriors has aerial rail shooter levels and they are glorious.
It's legitimately the closest thing to a new Star Fox game in the last decade.

Yet another absolutely wonderful #indiedev Night - the community we have here in Brisbane never ceases to amaze me! 🥰
Many thanks to all the devs who took the time and effort to showcase their games this evening, and to the Zed Games and Netherworld team for making this possible.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is CHONKY. At 43.3gb, it might just be the biggest Nintendo-published title yet.
Now if those fancy new Switch 2 compatible SD cards could go down in price, that would be great. 🙃

The Sony PlaneStation has crash-landed in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane!
On closer inspection, the cockpit has PSVR2 Sense controllers, the wing sports iconic shapes, and the sign ties it all to "PlayStation origins", hinting at the console's Australian 30th anniversary.

Castlevania? In my Vampire Survivors?
It's more likely than you think. 🦇
Really enjoying the "Ode to Castlevania" DLC. Surreal to think that a little indie game grew popular enough to partner with the very game that inspired it.
Amazing work, @poncle.games! 👏

What are some of the best physical pre-order bonuses you've ever gotten? As a Nintendo nerd, these are a few that stand out to me.
Would love to see some pics if you have any unusual or rare physical pre-order bonuses!

The art team at @summerfallstudios.com really have stepped up their game. Just when I think Malys can't get more grotesque, the next abomination of an enemy appears.
Considering I just finished up Katamari, which was packed with joy and whimsy, this is some serious tonal whiplash.

Getting revved up for Chainsaw Man on the big screen! 🔥
One of the best anime in recent years - absolutely loved the first season. Here's hoping the movie is just as unhinged.

I've listened to thousands of soundtracks, but NieR is unlike anything else I've heard. Keiichi Okabe is a master.

That's awesome - the Badman series is such a gem! Had the pleasure of meeting Takuma Endo a couple years back and asked if he could sign my copy of the game.
