Oh look it me

It’s Graeme who was talking about it - not on BS tho as far as I know…

100%. DQV is the game that got me to buy some Japanese dictionaries and start trying to figure this stuff out for myself and it spiraled into having lived out here for 25 years now 😱

I guess one small piece of Link art was changed, too

The map that came with Zelda in 1987 didn’t reach Japan until 1994. Never thought to compare them until today but other than the size and better image quality on game visuals, they’re very similar

Imagine making this logo and thinking it was suitable for a product. The 90s were a wild time

Miyamoto should've done more interviews in 1989 because this is like reading a wizard talk. This snippet distills why playing games in another language has always been so appealing to me. (And also reminds me why Tunic is such a masterpiece.)

Did the second quest as well, this time in English. Been a while and forgot where a couple dungeons were so re-finding them was pretty fun. Zelda II next?

Huh, Japanese one is 25 minutes.

What’s going on with this weird ghosting thing here - is it an emulation issue on NSO?

Nothing quite like the feeling of playing a brand new Resident Evil game for the first time

Digging the vibes on this one, probably more than any other in recent memory

Was thinking the same thing

So is Japanese RE9 censored again?

My Pokémons, let me show you them

(Happy 30th Pokémon!)

32 and blizzarding in NY, meanwhile it’s 72 and sunny in Tokyo…

Saw that on my playthrough too - what’s up with the copyright symbol, is that a bug from back in the day? Feel like I read about this a while back but can’t remember where

Oh, Canada.

Was thinking the same thing. Feels like little league or something

Oh, my bad, looks like it was 4:15 in total. (And now I’ve learned that the Nintendo app doesn’t update playtime in real time, so thanks for that!) This looks correct now tho because I hit the credits at 12:30am

Looks like 2:45

Today was the perfect day for another playthrough. Still stands up, 40 years later. Truly one of the best games ever made ❤️

Friday, February 21, 1986. 40 years ago this very minute (it’s a little past noon here in Japan), people were discovering Zelda’s secrets for the first time.

If you’re worried about the future of games, remember that your $ holds enormous sway. Support companies who actually care about the art and craft of making games, who put people first and value their employees & audiences. Support indies especially. The future doesn’t belong to greedy corporations

No this was just a small shop that was on its last legs and the grandma in there had lots of stock of things that had long since run their course. I wish I’d taken more pics during those trips

Happy 40th, Legend of Zelda~ (and Famicom Disk System!)
