Check out this cool website that allows you to navigate lots of maps from popular 3D games. It doesn't seem to load on mobile for me, but works fine on a PC. Use the arrow keys and mouse to navigate.

You won't get lost driving around the Mushroom Kingdom or Los Santos!
Yesterday, I added several Mario Kart and Grand Theft Auto maps to VGMaps.com: The Video Game Atlas, thanks to our good friend @vgcartography.bsky.social, who is willing to share these and many other great video game maps!
An old video of Street Fighter meets Duck Hunt.
True.
At the start of my streams, I tend to do mini-lessons about different topics
Here's a look at some translation theory/concepts that non-translators might find insightful & interesting!

@samderboo.com Here's one for Tracing the Influence from Idol Hakkenden (NES):

One thing I love about Scott Pilgrim EX is that it's packed with references to other games, but they're often subtle ones where if you get it, you'll smile and if you don't, there's no harm done.
Ain't nobody got time for that long word. Maní is where it's at.
Before Karnov became a redeemed criminal.
I came across this nice site with lots of Famicom Disk System flyers/ads that could be helpful to VG historians:

Did you know there's a 3rd Fighter's History exclusive to the SNES and only released in Japan?

Correction:
This isn't an alternative way.
The old method was to play AGAINST the hidden teams.
The new codes are to PLAY AS the hidden teams.
Read my post on the game's talk page for an explainer:

If you want to know what it's like to be an actual human translator translating a video game by human hand

Digging through old files, so have a few debug shots from SSRPG.
Up until today, I didn't know there was a remake and I had no idea this was a sequel to Portopia :P
Excellent. Thanks!
That's from the ending, so it means "END". If you want to do that one too, go ahead.
@flashpv.bsky.social Hey FlashPV, are you still making title screens? If you are, think you could make one for me close to the original style?
Game: Hokkaido Rensa Satsujin: Okhotsk ni Kiyu (translated as The Hokkaido Chain Murders: Vanishing in Okhotsk).
Let me know and thanks!
It had new/different content, but yeah, basically.
There are two different Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade NES games; one published by Taito, the other by UbiSoft.
(Doesn't help that their boxes look so similar!)
@darklordzagato.bsky.social has mapped both of them!
See them on VGMaps.com:

A screenshot of a mock-up used to promote the then-in-development Final Fantasy IV for the Famicom, taken from https://shmuplations.com/ffiv/
I just learned that there was a Final Fantasy IV in development for the Famicom at the same time as Final Fantasy V for the Super Famicom. This "IV" was canceled, and the "V" in development became the FFIV we know now. The lost "IV" may have been as close as 80% complete?!

Tell them the obscure story about how the American Super Mario Bros 2 is based on Doki Doki Panic.
Now the other side is port begging too for THIS collection.
