This is a large question, I know, but if you could make Rumbleverse again, but instead turn it into a single player game, how would you handle a traditional story campaign?

As in, do you think it would be fun to create an SP story/game play loop around the Rumbleverse mechanics for solo play?

Hah, YT doesn't seem to like showing me that you have new videos. I just started watching it earlier today. Man, Secret of the Four Winds angers me since it could have been a good to great game.

Yeah, I was quite confused by that statement. The sound effects and the score live pretty much rent free in my head all these years later. I have no idea how you listen to Actraiser and your feeling on how it sounds is "boring.

(1/8) And now there are two visual novels in English on the SEGA Dreamcast...

Announcing my English translation patch release of "Di Gi Charat Fantasy", ported from @GGopicolo's PlayStation 2 patch.

Oh my goodness a SEGAGAGA translation patch is imminent

This is happening tonight in around 7 hours from now! Maybe see you there!

I figured it out. My SD2SNES was not on the latest OS from 2023. It was on the one from 2019. Now I retain saves after reset or power off and it all works. So one of the fixes in the update resolved this for me. sd2snes.de/blog/archive...

Thank you &, again, THANK YOU for this amazing work you do!

I playing on a real snes via an original SD2SNES flash cart and I decided I'd give a long play a go and actually start saving. I found out that my saves erase after I reboot the game. Is there something I need to change or fix? Or is saving not supported on the SD2SNES (aka the FXPak)

Both of us ended up with the true hero ending. However, my wife ended up with Blonde Blazer and I made the CORRECT choice and went with InvisiGal. However, I didn't like how they mostly removed her from the rest of the ending. I watched all the other versions to see if I messed something up &..nope.

Here it is! Castlevania II: Enhanced Edition on the SNES!

Huge shoutouts to Bizqwit for original NES hack, it make this game so much more polished and approachable.

I'll drop some details in replies here; the hack is available here:

I had no idea that this guy existed! I definitely need one of these. And yeah, the documentation of the production process is very well done and pretty interesting.

Update: both my wife and I beat Dispatch and loved it. Yeah, you can't drastically change the end of the game with your decisions, but when it was so well written and acted, neither of us cared. Maybe in a second game they will have more confidence and money to go all Quantic Dream.

I've been playing this quite a bit today and it's fantastic! I love the music packs and the translation and being able to understand what NPC's are saying makes the few issues I had with it as a kid go away. The map is awesome too.

I bought it when it came out but have yet to play it. I'm super excited to though. I loved many of the TellTale games and with that pedigree behind Dispatched, and how good it looked, it was an easy buy.

I snagged one of these guys and I plan on LOCKING HIM IN A CAGE!! We got a claw machine that I am setting up right now and Skeleton Matt will live a very plush lifestyle when all is said and done.

Hah, going to miss you by a week as my wife and I will be there next Saturday!

The LS-2 joystick is getting a bit of a redesign based on tester feedback.

New design has mirror 30mm buttons for button 1 and button 2 is the smaller 24mm one. This way it maintains its ambidextrous versatility.

The avocado is dead, long live the avocado!

Yeah man, unfiltered Twitter is awful. I got mine pretty curated and I never use the "for you" option. Only posts from people I follow.

LS-4 starts shipping late next week.

I still have a handful left from this batch available to purchase.

I feel like it just has to be a memey thing to do at this point. Especially looking at the guys username.

This is one of the most accurate SK'isms I have seen. I freaking love him for how consistent he's been over the years.

LS-4 Joystick for Neo Geo - Preorder Preorders open May 23rd with shipping beginning in mid June.   Introducing the Leapstick 4...LS-4 for short.  LS-4 is designed to be a compact Neo Geo compatible joystick. Using a Japanese Seimitsu LS...

YouTube video by amerika* RetroFrog LS-4 Neo Geo Stick

This is @retrofrog.bsky.social's new Neo Geo based LS-4 stick in it's FINAL FORM. As you can see in the video, the button layout is perfect even for 4 button games. And the choice in components is spot on for sound and feel.

I was a part of the feedback group for the LS-4 and I can honestly say this stick is a beast for your Neo Geo. The button placement is perfect for using all 4 buttons, the weight is right on point for a small footprint stick (same size as AES stick) and it looks good!

I can’t believe I’m saying this but somehow I’m doing a goddamn TEDx talk. The topic I chose was about how much I hate the word ‘content’ and the wider cultural implications I think it has towards what being creative online means. You can even buy a ticket for it.

No, this isn’t a joke lol

I am super excited for our game to potentially become a real deal physical Switch/PS4/PS5. Holding the Neo Geo version in my hands was already surreal, but having those versions around in physical form would be another dream come true.

Please support if you can!!

There will always be some people who simply have the viewpoint of "ad = MAKES ME HULK SMASH ANGRY". But as long as you're open and honest about numbers and aren't heading towards enshitification that is quickly mimic'd by every grifter, I don't have an issue with most of what you propose.

I finally had time to watch this behemoth of a video, and despite being 1.5 hours long it absolutely did not feel like it. Hell of a video man!
