THPS2 BATTLE

Some of the rooms in Resident Evil Zero are divine

this is my legacy now I guess

the only good marvel comic with civil war in the title

"I bought another Super Nintendo. I wonder how many I've bought so far? I used to play when I was still active, but I was busy with matches and didn't have time. One of my dreams was to buy a white house with a view of the ocean after I retired and play games all day. I'm starting to do that now. First of all, I'll play Final Fantasy, but I also want to play Mario World and Sim Earth. I need a CRT TV."

True pro wrestling legend Bull Nakano: lol I bought another Super Famicom today.

Holy shit, this is huge. Cream Lemon is important to the entire medium of anime, so many people who would go on to make great things cut their teeth on this one

Also, to echo everyone: yes, Pop Chaser is really that good

dungeon meshi, too. one of the biggest shows for western fans in the past few years, and no discs!

this game was mind-blowing at the time! the insane built-in roster, the massive amount of match types, the great caw system that manages to get uncanny likenesses from tiny little sprites. and it felt so much better to play than any other wrestling game i'd ever seen!

what? no, retro hentai is like pop chaser and balthius: tia's radiance. bible black and immoral sisters are still pretty new...

the brothers grime tape definitely looked like it was from the 80s

Items [01/01] Empty-Handed This isn't an item called Empty-Handed; Izuna just has no items. You might want to pick something up soon.

It's clear the translators (and possibly the original writers) had fun with these games, at least.

organising the west riding words of the day into a thread here:

have these big publishers forgot that if they make a game that can be played offline, it doesn't keep costing them money if it's not as popular as they expected?

iirc, a game called zico soccer was commonly used to provide the cartridge cases for these sfc porn games. it must have been the absolute cheapest game to buy in bulk!

YouTube video by MrMxy Anime Karaoke Series: Pocket Monsters 1 (Tomy Kiss-Site VCD) - neoなポケモン言えるかな?

Found a dump of this Pokémon karaoke VCD and extracted the videos, which turns out aren't unique to this game, but I'm putting this on YT anyway so ppl looking this up don't spend 2 hours figuring this out like me. It appears to be the (very) Japanese equivalent of the Poké-rap youtu.be/xb8aIB-MW94

a similar gizmo was released for the game boy/color in the pokemon era. i can't remember who made it, and i only ever saw it advertised by mail order companies in uk magazines.

they sold it as "game boy memory card"

Screenshot of a Famicom game showing a glasses-wearing dog smiling as he holds a sign that says "I'm Johnny" next to a smiling girl who signals in his direction.

Screenshot of a Famicom game showing a smiling monkey standing in the middle of a dirt road in a forest, in front of a truck with a person inside. A subtitle says: "Hello. I'm called Monkey. What's your name?"

I don't mean to spam (post more than once a day) but I just keep finding cool shit I didn't know about. Today's is the Famicom StudyBox, a peripheral for loading NES edutainment games via cassettes. There's one where a talking (on NES!) dog named Johnny teaches you English. buyee.jp/mercari/item...

i wonder how many consoles this thing killed vs how many it protected from falling off of furniture etc.
(i assume that's its intended purpose)

This has happened to me organically in every single social media platform I’ve ever took part in

i had beautiful hair in 2009

A photo of entertainers Little and Large. Large’s face has been blanked out and a question mark placed over it.

this photo leaves little to the imagination

In 1999 the book Japan Edge: The Insider's Guide to Japanese Pop Subculture featured a wish list of titles to be released in the US. It’s taken a few decades but now we have four out of five of these.

Couldn't get it out of my head, so now it's on here.

you know how it is

it's been really nice recently to see a lot of vtubers playing a game that appears to be set in yorkshire

iirc, the cabinet has an actual handbrake lever, which was the game's big selling point
