Hey!  That looks pretty good. Hope it comes out for the PC eventually. But one thing’s for sure: I’ll be playing it with the Japanese audio. Holy heck that’s bad. The Japanese might be bad too, but at least I can’t hnderstand them so I can pretend it’s good.

So the Sega Genesis Mini is coming out next week and I am actually going to pick it up because it actually has a LOT of games I haven't played thousands of times over... such as: Contra Hard Corps, Alisia Dragoon, Gunstar Heroes, Castlevania Bloodlines, Ghouls and Ghosts, Road Rash 2, Strider, Light Crusader, Beyond Oasis, and many others. From what I have heard, the emulation is great, the controllers are awesome and it's worth the $80 price tag.

Not surprised.  M2 is really good when it comes to emulation

Anyone else notice Frog Cloud still had a tiny Buster Sword? Nice touch

All right, Nintendo. You got another $80 from me. I'm the type of person who needs to be tricked into his exercise, so this looks like a fun way to get moving.

Is it me, or is there something really odd about the mouth movements in this video? It's almost like they had them pantomime everything and then digitally did the mouth movements so they could be dubbed or something.

I also noticed it, I think it's just that they must have been told to SMILE!  So the actors are really really trying to keep big smiles during the entire video while talking.  Considering this probably took a day to shoot they must have had some sore faces after making that video.

Yeah, it sold me except that I don't think I could use it until my nerves heal from my cubital tunnel.

That dude has totally killed someone with an axe while listening to Huey Lewis and the News.

Remember that Castlevania mobile game that was announced awhile back?  Well a trailer popped up for it at TGS recently...

I don't know what to make of that. Honestly, I hate playing games on my mobile phone unless it's like quiz games or something. If I want to play any other kind of game I must, MUST have a controller. I just can't stand touch controls.

Looks like Canadian 7-11s have Link's Awakening remake promo cups.  Hopefully that promo will reach the US at some point.

Last time I played Link's Awakening I got stuck in the part where you have to get the song from Wart from Super Mario 2. That part is a HUGE PITA.

Slay the Spire just added a fourth character, the Watcher. You have to opt into the beta version to use her, and a bunch of her artwork is missing. But she's totally playable.
