More madcap campaigns coordinated by Nintendo of America marketing...why would you develop a whole ass game for Virtual Boy to win a Virtual Boy. Oh, it is just describing a game in 100 words...that at least makes more sense than the one below (win a Virtual Boy by playing a Virtual Boy...)

This reeks of a NoA sales business owner desperately trying to gather information to report to the masters back in Japan that people are actually using it after 15 mins and not chucking into a closet (which was probably the unfortunate reality) - note the prize trip to NoA HQ involved...

Brain, repeat after me...I do not need easy access to 162 episodes of Magnum P.I....

Serious listening hours, contemplating what I can do to better the world

I don't remember seeing this Dark Forces ad at all but it is pretty awesome.

Jim Davis had a Sega Saturn

I was just about to make a meme post lamenting about the fact I didn't beat Vectorman even though I had it and who knows if I could have entered and changed my family's life, and then I found out the kid who won died recently (Feb of this year) segaretro.org/Press_releas...

I am glad I discovered the bass-out-of-control issue with my car speaker check before printing my next Game Boy mix because it is going to be a doozy (kaijuu level tunes...)

Game magazine nerd talk: Game Pro seemed to receive some exclusive versions of ads, probably because they were able to prove having access to younger gamers and a quite large circulation, or maybe they specifically asked for unique ads. Here is one example where this Tecmo ad did not run in EGM etc

I just had to run to the store and tested out a few of the recent GB mixes with my car speakers (which are an upgraded system and support low range), some of them are out of control with bass resonance and making the whole car / windows vibrate whoops! (guess I need to cut ultra low end after all)

Just dropped: GB Chiki Chiki Tengoku OST - basically a for-hire indie game by J Wing hiring Nacoty/Megu-tan who has some very illuminating and moving story told on her interview with @bghof.com youtu.be/8UsFs0mRpBI

Whoa! First time I have seen...back of the head of Mark Flint, it also says he was 46 in 1990

The Super Famicom 1990-12-28 – Number 3 – Volume 1 – Issue 3 has been scanned in 600DPI. Enjoy! www.gamingalexandria.com/wp/2026/08/t...

The Game Boy game Genjin Kottsu - we were robbed of a prehistoric type game in the west! This game is not related to Bonk, instead it was a game made from a line of collectible drumming toys that make "kottsu kottsu" type noise..a video showing full collection playing www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLG_...

This ad might have only ran for one month and you can guess why

I was trying hard to not get triggered by reviews but this one SMFH ...I don't care at all what someone thinks about the gameplay but the music in Knuckles Chaotix is amazing! (link to my video mostly as context that I like it very much youtu.be/y9FpGZGm-rE). "Game is different so it's bad" template

"Announced before the entire system released but ended up being an unreleased game" is an interesting pivot of cancelled games...

Convenience stores now selling soylent green Cup Noodles?? (just had to look up what this is...) www.family.co.jp/goods/proces...

One fascinating takeaway of going through almost all the major 1995 US magazines in a short period of time is seeing some various trends in a clear way...one is that Mortal Kombat 3 *arcade* launch was literally overshadowing the new launch of consoles (at least until autumn starts). Crazy hype...

Learn how to draw Super Street Fighter II X characters from...whatever this device was (電子漫画塾 - digital manga cram school? carts show as 2000 yen to 2800 yen and the device was 9800 yen). One sold on Mercari for only 1500 yen pretty recently...the carts seem rare though.

Just dropped GB Captain Tsubasa J OST / BANDAI 1995 / Tomoyuki Hamada (濱田智之) - who was part of T's Music and then joined 5pb (MAGES) worked on Super Bomberman, Tetris Battle Gaiden etc. The game is fairly standard complement to the anime airing at the time, nice animated scenes. youtu.be/wGXqv3p8A9w

The Capcom USA office looks super chill in 1995...looks like this is "Capcom Studio 8" as gdri documents here gdri.smspower.org/wiki/index.p...

Another surprising drop on Disney Plus in Japan...Malcom in the Middle...or as the card is showing me...マルコム in the middle, wait this is some sort of revival again...wtf? Didn't hear about that happening at all

Doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of what is going on with these techno-fascist future we are headed in at full speed but I was happy to see this exists at least (and John Oliver is a good one). Will mid terms change things? We will see... youtu.be/p7ZG_xWYLzI?...

Now will be the big test to see which of you has the courage to resist linking to X posts. I should not have to explain why this matters, but anyway.

Also a timely reminder

FYI alternative to using xcancel is to use "Yahoo Realtime Search" which is how I just looked up Susumu Hirasawa appearing at Comike ( after getting told about this booth by someone I had to see what it looked like ) search.yahoo.co.jp/realtime/sea...
