Par le bias d'un message posté sur son compte Facebook, on apprend le décès de Tomonobu Itagaki, connu pour avoir dirigé le développement des séries Dead or Alive et Ninja Gaiden à l'âge de 58 ans #RIP

Prince of Persia clean artwork by Katsuya Terada used on the cover of the Super Famicom and Super Nintendo (PAL territories) releases. Image depicts the prince wielding a sword with the princess by his left side along another woman holding a dagger. On his right side one of the bosses can be seen. Jaffar is on the background, left side, with a menacing look, while at the bottom a skeleton can be seen, and our little white mouse friend right in the middle.

My restoration of #PrinceOfPersia's artwork by Katsuya Terada used on the cover of the #SuperFamicom and #SuperNintendo (PAL) releases. This is a v2 of my previous work adding missing bits at the top/bottom using different sources, applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch combo.

It looks awesome!!

Pixel art of an old ruin under cloudy skies. A man in a loincloth, holding an axe faces agains a gigantic bearded man, horribly mutated by a black goop littered with eyes and glowing veins

The Legendary Axe concept mockup. Been a while since I made one of these. Research was tough. I have no connection to the game or the turbografx-16 whatsoever, but the final boss being a weird and unsettling merger of confused cavemen held together by an eldric mass was captivating.

While playing the PC Engine Batman game, I wondered if there was going to be a stage that's shaped like the Batman logo or something like that.

Then I realized that I was smackdab in the middle of one.
Sunsoft even took care to stick a TM in the upper-right corner.

I remember the time when all your reviews were translated and published in a french magazine

Nintendo Knights summoned for a Crusade.

Jinmu Denshou clean artwork used on the cover of the NEC PC Engine release in Japan. Image depicts a young long haired samurai swinging his katana where a tower can be seen on a red toned background with some dark clouds.

The artwork of Jinmu Denshou used on the cover of the #NEC #PCEngine release in Japan. Still a bit cropped on the left side. Usual upscale/clean/retouch process applied. No clue on the artist, any info let me know!

It’s not just that they’re gold… it’s not just that the box art is absolute god-tier!

The whole vibe is so refined and mature in an era when gaming was still seen as something for kids!

Japan has just always GOT it!!

Anyone who has known PC Engine for long enough, will have heard of the giant "Power Base"/"Power Stick" peripheral that was never released.

While doing a deep dive on documenting stuff, I found this blog...

A piece of clean artwork by Hinomata Mutsumi used for the cover of Himemiko Vol.2 published by Kadokawa in Japan. Image depicts a young brunette woman with her hands on her chest, wearing a golden tiara, bracelets on her arms/wrists, and what appears to be a yellow skirt. The dark background has some motifs such as flowers up top and mythological creatures on the bottom right side.

MiSTer's TG16 core just got a new release version, with things that have been building in the daily-build version since the end of May.

Significant items are:
- CD+G support (me)
- several video improvements and bug fixes (srg320)

C’est faux, la haine se fiche de la langue.

We bloody love Saturn Bomberman!

Surely the best in the series, and definitely one of our favourites on SEGA’s beautiful machine, we get onto the series, talk HudsonSoft, and delve right into Saturn multiplayer all in our latest vid!

Enjoy!

We’re all about Bomberman this week so #WhensDay has gotta look at key milestones in the franchise!

Let’s start at the start!

Here’s the 1983 PC-88 original where it’s fair to say the style was… a bit different!

As for the MSX / Spectrum version… Woof! That’s quite a change!

This is a double milestone - with the NES Bomberman in 1985 and the PC Engine game in 1990

The NES release was both a mini milestone in Hudson’s relationship with Nintendo - and introduced many of the modern power ups

And the PCE version? Introduced multiplayer!!
