What a wild thing to find. Wonder if I could recreate this.

The quest to get 120 stars in "Super Mario 64" is in progress, but only going so well.

I can't wait to have a proper sit down with Romeo Is A Dead Man.

Yeah, I'm right there with you. Quittin' time can't come fast enough. I played the first ten minutes and observed that yes, the Suda 51 goodness is here.

Language is a beautiful thing. For example, today I learned that the seventh Resident Evil game, "Resident Evil: Biohazard" is called "Biohazard: Resident Evil" in Japan.

Sad to hear about the result, but proud to see you doing good work in the name of science.

Feels a bit strange how well this new trailer for the second Gundam Hathaway from works. No dialogue. All Guns N' Roses. I'm pumped.

The graphical leap from 16bit racing games to Ridge Racer on the PSone was crazy. I don’t think we’ll ever see anything like that again…

We've been discussing this in the Discord. I'm not sure about "search action" or "unlocking worlds." Maybe we just convince Konami to release a new Castlevania so we can keep calling them Metroid-vanias?

Twitch Twitch is the world

Streaming tonight at 7:30 Central on Twitch, we continue working our way through every Mario game released in the β€˜90s with the second half of β€œSuper Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island.” And after that? β€œSuper Mario 64” (1996) awaits.

Players ferry Baby Mario across the island to reunite him with Baby Luigi in a dinosaur-based relay race. Along the path, the various Yoshies must take advantage of numerous game play gimmicks such as turning into mole tanks and helicopters to see the young brothers Mario back together.

The result was β€œSuper Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island” (1995) a graphically impressive game designed for everyone to enjoy from young kiddos to veteran completionist sickos.

Nintendo knew that a direct sequel to β€œSuper Mario World” (1990) would be Mario’s final Super Famicom outing. They set about packing the game full of features that took advantage of all their 16-bit tricks including an improved version of the Super FX chip that made β€œStar Fox” (1993) possible.

This looks so damn good, my guy. Seems like you've more than made the most of the tools you have. VTs are made for weathering and yours proves it. Excellent work.

It's never too late to play Chrono Trigger. I've actually been going back through to get all of the endings lately. The one where you meet the development staff is a trip.

It's like you chose all my favorites to focus on! Can't wait to work my way through all of these.

Dude! It rules. We checked it out last night. I'm impressed how the art style feels so different from DQ11 or DQ3 Remake. Definitely unique, but still Dragon Quest.

I might go as far as to say they can only do harm.

If Nintendo still titled their games the same way they did back in the 90s, Bananza would've been called "Super Mario Odyssey 2: Donkey Kong Bananza"

Merry Christmas! If you'd like to spend 45 minutes celebrating video game history with me, we're about to debut The Untold Story of the Nintendo Entertainment System. I worked on his ALL YEAR, and I genuinely think it will reshape how we all think about the system. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJvp...

No idea who needs to hear this, but if your Twitch stream consistently disconnects after two hours and four minutes and you have a nighthawk router, it's time for a new router.
