Highly recommended, it’s even better than the quite popular part 2 that had an official English release. Fun fact: it’s one of the very few GBA games that support controller rumble when being played on a GB Player.

So cool to see the access light on my Broadcast Satellaview on! 🤩 I'm playing the new BSX release of Mario 2 USA! It adds back the original broadcast music and character voices - with a new optional English dub! The badguys randomly change who you're playing as and the characters talk about it!

My Super Famicom with SF fash cart inserted, the power light and green access light on the attached Broadcast Satellaview are both lit up!

You can’t even comprehend how important Eien ni Hen’s work is to the fan translation community. Romancing SaGa, Fire Emblem, Sakura Wars, Tear Ring Saga, Glory of Heracles, Dragon Force II, Dark Half, Beyond Oasis, Psi-O-Blade, Arabian Nights, and so much more. What a loss. Rest in peace.

A legend in the fantranslation scene, may she rest in peace. I‘ve rarely been in direct contact with her, but we’ve been on the same romhacking project with Arabian Nights (SFC) under LostTemplars wing and I‘ve played countless of her fantastic translations. She leaves behind a rich legacy.

Trying out an aesthetic for Sliding Blaster 2 in which I use rilden.github.io/tiledpalette... to convert photos to get a look where you're playing with toys on top of a realistic surface, similar to LEGO Loco. Background uses 4-color tiles to save video RAM. #snesdev #gamedev #homebrew

Screenshot of a top-down action game running in a SNES emulator. There's a pink hovercraft looking toy in the middle of the screen, next to some colorful wooden blocks and ammo pickups on the ground. There's cookies and snowmen on snowboards nearby.

Screenshot of the same game, but the hovercraft toy is on some sand dunes. There's some blue swirls around the stage.

Screenshot of the same game, with the background as some sort of green glass-like surface. There's Poo-Chi and balloon and cookie enemies.

Same game, but background is a corn cob.

The artwork of Pop'n TwinBee by Shujiro Hamakawa used on the cover of the #SuperFamicom and #SuperNintendo (PAL) releases as well as for the #GameBoy version (Europe). Usual upscale/clean/retouch process applied.

Pop'n TwinBee clean artwork by Shujiro Hamakawa used on the cover of the Super Famicom and Super Nintendo (PAL) releases as well as for the Game Boy version (Europe). Image depicts a colorful scene with characters from the game where a boy with spiky hair and a blue and white attire can be seen next to a blonde girl in a purple dress. A bit up there's a red hair girl in a +pink and white attire with TwinBee and WinBee surrounding her. Behind her there's a picture with some greenery and above an old mad scientist like old man can be seen along some minions. The background features some oriental style towers and some walls that resemble the Great Wall of China among some fluffy clouds and a blue sky above.

I still have to wrap my head around the fact that consoles like the PSP and Vita are considered retro now. For me, the line where "modern" consoles begin was always drawn somewhere around the DS/PSP/Wii/PS3/XB360 era.

Sony keeps on collecting the most stupendous losses. Each time you think it can’t get worse, they are putting another foul cherry on top of the puke-shake. I miss early PS4 times Sony, they were awesome and a genuinely great competition for Nintendo.

A bit late to comment on the new Kirby game, but the main series was always about tight and interesting level design to me. So not sure how to feel about an open world-ish title. It’s worth a chance, but I am a bit sceptical.
