In a nutshell, this is everything you need to know about Tako no Himitsu. The game literally merges all these classics into one new game. Please try the demo, spread the word - and if you can afford it, support the ongoing Kickstarter~

I’m excited to share that the Kickstarter for Tako no Himitsu is NOW LIVE!! A GBA-inspired RPG with music from Motoi Sakuraba (Golden Sun) & my dream RPG I always wanted to make! A demo is out now too! Shares & support would mean the world to us🐙 www.kickstarter.com/projects/137...

It‘s 2024 and eBay sellers are still sending cardboard CIB games in thin envelopes. Good condition games are getting rarer and rarer thanks to these idiots.

Those peeps that are mad at Emio not being a new Nintendo horror game IP clearly haven’t played Famicom Detective Club II. The series went into that direction way before this and did that really well.

“Friends” in Akihabara is closing at the end of August. Friends was one of the only mom-and-pop owned retro shops remaining in Akiba and it really sucks to hear it is saying goodbye.

600€ incl. shipping for a glorified Game Boy Advance clone… Are you kidding me? #analoguepocket

A new Satellablog post with words by danyl and videos by Cabbuses! It contains some new #Satellaview dumps by anonymous contributors. Most notably, a version of Puzzle Bomber W that runs without SA-1 chip and a highly comprised demo of Mystic Ark. superfamicom.org/blog/2024/07...

I see some rumors that the Emio thingy from Nintendo is actually a Famicom Detective Club sequel. This would be awesome and also gives me some hope that they include the Satellaview stories as a bonus in something again…

Also or sale: Biohazard 4 Trial Version from 2004, prior to release. Gamecode DL-DOL-P4BJ-JPN. One of the oldest trial version of the game and a sought-after collectible for GameCube and Resident Evil fans. 45€ + shipping

Whoa, that‘s unexpected! Starfy 1 is a personal GBA-favorite, so I am glad more peeps get to play it now 🎉

Very glad that Byuu/Near’s history has been properly documented in a Wiki article, including sources. R.I.P. dear friend, your legacy is huge for the SNES dev & emu scene. Those that went after you deserve the worst karma for the rest of their lifespan. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near_(p...

So many great indie projects for modern and retro consoles these days, what a time to be alive!

Shoot, my Sony PVM 20M4E might be toast. Whenever I sync the screen, it won’t work. The image keeps on rolling through, only barely stabilizes for short moments and sometimes even goes completely black (including screentext) for a bit… Seems like a repair is inevitable? 🫣

Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution already got delayed. Sigh… Was to be expected I guess.

Ever since Elmo took over I had to block thousands of bot or scam accounts on Twitter, it’s super annoying on a daily basis.
