"Mappy the Mouse Cop murdered my grandmother" is a sentence I just effectively used in a professional manner. I love video games 🤣

Every frame of Donald Duck's movement is drawn by a skilled artist. Every inflection in his voice is intentionally created by a skilled voice actor. Donald Duck is more human than this soulless marketing gimmick.

The box art for Hanasaka Tenshi Tenten-Kun no Beat Breaker was definitely a choice. Does this angel's junk win the award for "Most Screen Time for a Penis" in the Famitsu awards?

Why don't we ever question why the sword in the logo doesn't look anything like Link's actual sword?

What the hell, Cheetos? Who decided "cinnamon sugar, but spicy af" was a good idea? Also, are they legally allowed to be called Cheetos when there's no cheese? 🤣

Play Chaos Warrior! It's a modern love letter to 8-bit RPGs and it's really good!

Please? Even when the art style actually matches, it's always the same format.

It's only a "KKK outfit" to people on the other side of the world from where this was made. It was very common for traditional white robes and hoods used by Buddhist priests to be conflated with "ghosts" in Japanese pop culture, which is what happened here. No KKK. Here's the hood in Mappy Kids.

If you have a CRT or Retrotink 4k, this is the way to play Aggelos II

One of my favorite parts of Beyond the NES is Kusoge Klub, a book club style round table discussion where @quest64official.bsky.social, @ductape.bsky.social and myself wax philosophical about the quality of various supposedly "bad games". www.kickstarter.com/projects/syn...

Today I picked up a sentai parody by Nintendo called Screaming Warriors Sakebrain where you shout commands into the DS microphone to get your on-screen characters to fight.
