I'd so love to have'em all on Xbox w/Play Anywhere support so I can jump between my Series X and ROG

ROM HACK RELEASE: Soul Blazer Relocalization 1.0 A project I worked on and (mostly) off over the past 8 years, this is a hack of the Enix cult classic Soul Blazer, a semi-prequel to Illusion of Gaia & Terranigma. This fixes typos and cleans up text to make it less grody. romhack.ing/database/con...

Would something like Companions or Familiars work?

Reminds me of how some parts of Norwegian gaming press and marketing used to refer to Megaman as "blåbæret" (the blueberry) in Norwegian. Lately, they've just translated "the blue bomber" literally (den blå bombemannen), making him just sound like a terrorist 😱

STOP THE PRESSES. The ROM for the unreleased Famicom RPG Splatter World has been released (in a thread on 4chan, of all places). I've tried it myself, and it does seem to be genuine. If it's a fake, it's a damn good one. Expect (more) coverage on West Mansion soon. @hg101.bsky.social

I’ve already said this at some point, but let me share it again: If you are a SNES/SFC collector that wants their Satellaview 8Ms checked & dumped, you can contact me for that. Even if your packs show up as empty, there’s a good chance that there are deleted or Soundlink-only ROMs hidden on there.

I am covering EVERY First Person Shooter EVER made in Japan. From 1985 to 2025, that's over 40 years and 70 games of gaming history. Link: youtu.be/F80Cl6WzBNo?... This was without a doubt the most ambitious video I've ever made.

Chiming in here. The issue with these appears to be that they've re-encoded some music (probably to adjust volume), and the re-encoded files now have wrong file format signatures (causing issues with CR). You can replace them with the OG DC2 PC files or rename other files (but get wrong music).

It’s been 10 years. 10 years ago I was lucky to have the opportunity to create those characters and direct this game. 10 years of reading your message and seeing your love for Max and Chloe. What a journey! #LifeisStrange
