Three days of existing in a nerd utopia. I got to meet and talk with amazing people like Grant Kirkhope, Chris Sutherland, and Kev Bayliss. Got my old N64 games signed. Met the AVGN and Justin Silverman. Went to cool panels. Took pics with awesome cosplayers. Bought SO MUCH STUFF. #retrogamecon

Toying with the idea of going to my first con next month, all by mine lonesome. Gonna feel exactly like this.

My first time tagging someone with a modded 3DS!

I’m playing FFIX on the Switch only to find this mod that makes everything look so much better. But I’m already 7 hours in and not doing it again, no matter how much nicer that crisp image and widescreen is compared to my pixelation and mandatory borders, so RIP me.

After trying and failing to get into Blue, Yellow, and Sapphire, Pokémon Pearl was the game that finally clicked with me. To this day, I have never sunk as many hours into a game as I did with Pearl. Throughout 2007, I marathoned every prior Pokémon game, and I continued to be obsessed until Gen 5.

Pokémon Diamond and Pearl were first out in Japan 20 years ago on the Nintendo DS! 🦪💎 Taking us to the in-depth Sinnoh region (literally, I loved the underground stuff) and rejigging a few 'mons and mechanics. All made even better in Platinum. Media: www.rpgfan.com/game/pokemon...

Imagine if the Rambi Rumble from Donkey Kong Bananza was a whole game where you could ride on different animal buddies as your favorite DK characters, and race through the jungle, underwater, etc. I wonder why they never thought of this amazing concept! What would such a game even be called anyway?

What mini game do you wish spun off to became its own game?

Getting close to finishing my replay of Super Paper Mario. Yet another game about a town full of people slowly coming to terms with the approaching end times.

Persona 3 sure does hit different in 2026, where powers beyond our control have stolen away our futures, and everyone you know is in a cult, yet all you can do is keep moving forward in spite of it all.

I saw the new Resident Evil movie. Another win for Cregger-san.

I agree with all of this. Reminds me of just how many screenshots I've taken of Diddy Kong Racing in high-def (with widescreen!) because of how good it looks.

There's a lot I think is correct about how you can't really easily replicate the visual tricks done with 2d pixel art on retro console games that were designed for CRTs but sorry, some stuff just totally fine or better upscaled. You're never gonna convince me this looks worse than the OG on a CRT.

Everyone on my Switch friend list right now:

Is this how one aces an attorney?

Can’t believe Terrangima and Lufia 1 & 2 are getting re-releases next year. What even is this timeline?

I'm glad this over-hated game is getting another chance.

Saw a thread where people genuinely don't understand how people can dislike Pokemon Gen 5. It's called subjectivity. I don't think its a worse game than the ones that came before it. But that doesn't stop its creative choices from being an affront to my personal sensibilities.

Here's my Zelda art over the years in honor of the 40th anniversary.

Imagine her in the new artstyle.

New Fire Emblem is getting glowing reviews and will likely sell extremely well. Just like with Zelda, all I can do is hope for remakes to satiate me, since the new games are nothing like the ones that made me a fan.

I found it. The single best piece of official Zelda art.

Persona 3 sure does hit different in 2026, where powers beyond our control have stolen away our futures, and everyone you know is in a cult, yet all you can do is keep moving forward in spite of it all.

Been watching old Godzilla movies I’ve been meaning to see. GMK was great, with fun action and an engaging storyline. Went backwards to finally watch Return of Godzilla, which was incredibly boring with very little action. Typical boardroom rambling abound, coupled with a cheap looking costume.

I played Wind Waker again... again... again again again againagainagain.

Confirmed: Wind Waker is Still Peak Zelda

The Wii U GamePad having a built-in universal remote is the most underrated feature.

What my brain anticipates whenever Nintendo announces an "update" about "racing." I've been waiting 25 years for an update, Nintendo!

Happy 9/11!

Sick of these Fire Emblem designs

it's kind of funny how things can just happen like this

We'll get Kirby and the World Beyond, Spyro: A Realm Beyond, Dragon Quest XII: Beyond Dreams, and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond before we get another Beyond the Beyond.

Chillin' out with the crew in the school yard, Findin' trouble, never lookin' too hard. Well back at class, they never taught us this, Some things you gotta learn, hit or miss. Tough times, hard climbs, We'll take 'em on together. Right now, let's go! Yu-Gi-Oh! GX! Generation Next!
