In 2024, Masashi Mikami gave a lecture in which he discussed his years at SNK.

According to him, Shinkiro was also involved in game development when he started at SNK; for example, he did playtesting on Soccer Brawl.

As promised, here is a thread on Blazing Star (Yumekobo, 1998), sometimes presented as the third episode in Aicom's shmup trilogy (after Viewpoint and Pulstar) according to its director, Wildran.
First, a brief overview of the aborted Pulstar 2 project:

Viewpoint (NeoGeo, 1992), a thread
The first game developed by Wildran at Aicom was A.B.Cop, an arcade game produced by Sega, on which he worked as a programmer. He then joined the development team for Gun-Dec/Vice: Project Doom (Famicom, 1991) as a sub-planner - he designed the car chase stage

According to Wildran, Pulstar 2 and Blazing Star were two different projects. As early as 1995 (the year Pulstar was released), Pulstar 2 had already been (more or less) announced in the NeoGeo CD version of Pulstar and graphics had been created, but the Pulstar 2 project was rejected by SNK

I designed a clip mod for the old Google Daydream visor to work with the Lite 😅

I’m taking this Virtual Boy Daydream thing a bit too far, but I needed to finish it.

Designed a clip that lowers the visor flap that centers and holds the Switch Lite to the Daydream.

You have to cut the old phone mounts, but other than that, it’s plug and play.

It works surprisingly well!!

Rez on Daydream was soooo impressive. It was the only reason I bought the headset 😅

Lmfao!!!! This actually worked.

Time to bust out your old Daydream headset and play some Virtual Boy on the Switch Lite.

It doesn’t line up perrrrfectly, but I have two of these things so I’ll mod one to fit properly.

I haven't had time to dig into it just yet. I really really really didnt want to mess with bluetooth on this at all. I need to make some design decisions before I finalize anything.

I'm working on an adapter to use an unmodified VB controller on Switch. Once the VB update is released, I'll get back to work on this.
