Man, @nfpublishing.bsky.social continues to be so great. Last issue was kinda stitched together poorly. Not a big deal imo. Unprovoked they reissued it and gave a detailed letter as to why.

I love physical media so I’m happy to support. Give them a look if you miss the days of Nintendo Power.

Talk about a hell of a prediction! I was reading the Virtual Boy coverage in the latest issue of @nfpublishing.bsky.social
last night when I ran across this article. This is one of the unreleased games that was revealed by Nintendo yesterday as coming later this year. Lucas absolutely nailed it!

Really surprising choice for Nintendo's next live-action movie adaptation, but I'm exciting to see it!

A view of "Monsteropolis" from HDGG: Mega Man. We decided the throwback name to the original manual would be fun & Capcom approved. I looked over Mega Man X maps for inspiration, and the layout was built around the boss placements on the select screen.

As you likely saw in the book, my next project with @nfpublishing.bsky.social will be Hand-Drawn Game Guides: Mega Man 2! I'll be starting on it in January, and plan on working on it for the full year. I'm excited to work on this legendary title!

Feels strange to hold the finished product. Hard not to reflect on the whole year+ to get here. Drawing through a slipped disc, PT, juggling other projects, FT job, family, losing our dog. It was a lot. I just wanted to make the best Mega Man book I could. I hope you enjoy it.

A photo of Satoru Iwata, who would've been 66 years old today.

Happy Mr. Iwata's Birthday! Satoru Iwata was born on December 6, 1959. That's 66 years ago now! Play an Iwata game this weekend to honor his memory!

Eight Bit Era: Volume One – The Launch, by Lucas M. Thomas. (Sorry there never was a Volume Two!)

Happy 40th anniversary to the NES! In 2006 — 19 years ago now! — I wrote a small book all about the system's launch on October 18, 1985. It got my foot in the door at IGN, leading to the beginning of my game journalism career! (Its digital version is on sale at NFMagazine.com if you're curious!)
