Dragon Hopper is surprisingly good, kinda wish they released an expanded version on one of their later consoles

Happy World International 8-4 Day! We applaud Nintendo in choosing to release two previously unreleased Virtual Boy games today in honor of this momentous occasion. But if you’d rather kick it old(er)-school, why not revisit the OG that inspired it all?
Falcom just dropped a brand new "metroidvania" game in Japan last month. But is it actually any good? Give me 14 minutes of your time and I'll tell you everything you need to know, plus my honest opinion on whether it's worth your time. -Mr. Jakes youtu.be/v5RSJeCUkMI

That was so good. Maybe the best of the Tom Holland Spider-movies
For ppl who got Xenoblade 2 Switch Edition - did Torna get a makeover too? Or just the main game?
Splatoon Raiders was great. Still have some post-game stuff to do but man overall, felt like classic S-tier Nintendo stuff. More of this, please
When I was 19 I locked myself in a room for three months and played the shit out of games like Kileak the Blood, Ridge Racer, Zero Divide, and a few others for this thing. I don’t remember which other ones I did but it was probably mostly Japanese stuff. Good times

Kinda hooked on Splatoon Raiders, hope Nintendo accelerates experimenting with new IP/genres because their younger devs are making great stuff
I'm glad people are excited about the E3 videos, but FYI if you're going to repost stuff, 1) don't just reupload an entire video or 2) PLEASE give us credit. We're a charity that provides a free archive, and when you don't credit our work, you're taking support from us and making our jobs harder
Someone took this footage from our digital archive earlier this week and reuploaded it YouTube without attribution. Wow where did that cool video come from!!! So we uploaded it ourselves at higher quality. C'mon, people
Video Game History Foundation@gamehistoryorg.bsky.social · 2w agoBy popular demand: we clipped the public reveal of Banjo-Kazooie from Anthony Parisi's E3 1997 video! This footage (narrated by NOA's Ken Lobb) predates the release of the game by a whole year.

I sometimes want to share the better stories about how Game File articles came together. Ones that aren't too secret. So, let's try this. A video! How I got an Xbox scoop this week, while juggling parenting and hunting for a lost suit Let me know what you think! www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmj3...

Of course no disrespect to anyone who lost a job today - what a shitty, avoidable situation this was. Giant corps who refuse to be held accountable for their misdeeds don’t deserve ppl’s money, plain and simple. Hoping everyone lands on their feet and doesn’t let this put out their creative spark..

Don’t forget about the physical games debacle now (that’s what they’re hoping for)
Beginning today (4th of July, ironically), I have lived in Japan longer than I’ve lived in the US 😱
were up to me I probably wouldn't eliminate physical media for my forthcoming console right on the heels of delisting hundreds of digital movies from people's libraries and while on the cusp of a world historical digital storage supply squeeze, but I guess that's why they get paid the big bucks.
