The recent Nintendo Classics NSO update has introduced Balloon Kid to the library and I consider it to be one of Nintendo's best but often overlooked Game Boy games.
But there's actually a little more going on with this game than what most Nintendo fans realize.

We sincerely hope that folk will tune in to this one, as we not only play a whole bunch of wretched games, but look back on ten years of this goofy little project. We'll be providing insights into how it got started, highlight some of our favorite articles, and maybe even dish on some juicy drama!

A beautiful game from just before the U.S. involvement in WWII - Sky Fighter by International Mutoscope.

While less iconic than Keeney's machine gun, its self-contained design would presage the likes of the Dale Gun and Periscope in years to come.

I don’t have Steam unfortunately

Backer of the 3DS version, all I literally got was a t-shirt and a display box

It’s funny how they kept the space theme with the Vaus-like ship similar to Arkanoid.

We're not anti-tech, we're anti-theft. If the future of “innovation” depends on stealing creators’ work without asking or paying, that’s not progress - it's stealing, and we shouldn’t accept it. #StealingIsntInnovation www.stealingisntinnovation.com/

looking at these character billboards in this fh6 teaser… i’m sorry but this is the most castrated akihabara ever lmao

I think this is only used for directors who can’t draw well, but want to show an art director what they want to do conceptually for stuff like character or background designs. The art director would probably give their input, recommend possibilities with non-AI-generated roughs, and go from there.
