I'm telling you,
#FinalFantasy Tactics is just such a treasure trove of great quotable lines

Some of these pack a lot of heavy but very, topical and relevant truths to them too.

I guess the concept of a fully voxel-sprite-based game is still somewhat new, but I really love the whole visual presentation of it.

It keeps the original feel of the games aesthetic while still modernizing it.

The difference is especially striking when looking at something from above or below

It's finally here.
Geometry Dash, the classic, rhythm-based, and highly addictive autoscroller, is here
This time, it's on the #NES!

I would argue, this is even better than the original

You know what everyone loves?
That's right. #Duke3D!

But you know what is also really awesome?
Voxels!
Combine them, and you'll get

"Voxel Duke Nukem 3D"

Where all 2D sprite assets have been replaced with 3D voxel recreations

I found this delightful little action-adventure game earlier today and wanted to share

"Spindle"
By Wobble Ghost

You can probably tell that this game is heavily inspired by #zelda, where you go through dungeons, acquire new tools and items, and beat elaborate boss battles

"The 8-Bit Guy" over on YouTube looks to be working on a new #homebrew project for the #VIC20.
This one will be a falling-block puzzle-type game

This here is something I've always hoped we'd see some day.
Super Mario 64 on #PS1

Even in this early state, this looks & plays pretty much exactly how you'd expect SM64 to.

This is both exceptionally impressive and a bit sacrilegious

The Smiling Friends is just such an acid trip of a show.

And I do love whenever they just drop in little #retro video game references like this one xD

Kameo: Elements of Power was actually the game that made me want to pick up a Xbox 360, day one

I remember in 2001, I picked up this magazine that came with a promotional VHS with footage of Kameo, back when it was still in development for GameCube.
I thought it looked so cool.

The #Xbox 360 is turning 20 years old today
And I don't think my brain really knows how to cope with this information...

The passage of time is a gruesome mistress.

Looks to be a fun little platformer that drawing inspiration from Adventure Island while still bringing some originality to the table

That's awesome to hear. I've been so curious about this niche example in particular xD

Hopefully, Analogue will push an update to fix the bad deinterlacing as well as make it more compatible with the Everdrive family in the near future.

Looks like the "My Nintendo" store has something new available
You can get these for 400 Platinum coins, each
If you still have some lying around

At this point, it's been months since they last added anything to the store.
Was starting to think it had been abandoned xD

Hey, Joe.
You wouldn't have happened to try this out while testing the Analogue 3D, would you?

Rayman 2: The Great Escape would be another game that could benefit from an improved framerate.

Not so much in its default rez, but when you play with the Expansion Pak HiRez mode, you can definitely feel the framerate getting very sluggish, to the point that I usually just disable it.

I've seen a lot of videos lately,
showing off the #Analogue3D and its impressive "Unleashed" mode that can boost performance in some games

One game I would love to see covered is Vigilante 8 and its MAX_RESOLUTION cheat code, which enables 640x480 but tanks the framerate

I admire the ambition!
And I'd say, so far, you're on very good track to achieve that.
I have no doubt the team will be able to do it.

It would also be incredible if it was possible to strike a deal with Konami on actually getting this licensed and released as a physical cart :D

What you guys have already been able to achieve in this port is beyond impressive.

Considering how much a console like the SNES would struggle in with lag in many SHMUPs, it's crazy to see a Mega Drive shooter with so much action and big sprites running this smoothly.
