    Analogue 3D - an FPGA based reimagining of the N64 announced

    I recently got a retrotink, so my use case for Analogue products outside the Pocket has dropped considerably. Yeah sure, the original hardware won't be displayed at native 1080p or anything, but the retrotink does a damn good job upscaling the content and making it look good on a modern display...

    Stray Thoughts on George Kamitani and Women in Vanillaware Games

    I'm not getting into it yet because I want to play more and do more research on their games, but I think there might be something to discuss about George Kamitani's feelings on women, besides the tired "he's a sexist objectifying freak!" stuff that gets lobbed at him all the time. Princess...

    Comment by 'TripleSMoon' in '2014: The Year of Mega Man'

    Decade-overdue update: LMAO I have proceeded to not beat a single other game on this list, though I've replayed the Zero and ZX games multiple times since then 😂

    Feedback Misc Translation Princess Crown PSP Any Updates?

    Agreed 100%. You see the exact same thing happening with Lollipop Chainsaw: RePOP now, with the producer constantly saying, "we'll do our best to fight against censorship!" to cater to the demographic that's rallied around that game. Meanwhile, they're casually just changing tons of the...

    "Castlevania: Symphony of the Night" for the Sega Saturn gets an advanced QoL hack and English translation

    I believe the reason for this is that the PS4 version is using the PS4's hidden internal PSP emulator (the same one Parappa uses), which made it a pretty easy direct port, with minimal changes. And because it's Konami, they weren't going to put any effort into emulating it or properly porting it...

    Feedback Misc Translation Princess Crown PSP Any Updates?

    This is neat; I didn't know there was a new repository after the last one went dead. Tangential though, what's up with this "absolutely NO censorship" remark on the page? Seriously, that always comes off as a weird virtue signal to the kind of weirdos who still project all their fears onto the...

    Cheap backlights for AGB-001 GBA? I don't wanna pay $45

    That's neat, but it should be noted that OP is specifically looking for a backlit solution, rather than frontlit.

    Cheap backlights for AGB-001 GBA? I don't wanna pay $45

    Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time... a long time.

    Cheap backlights for AGB-001 GBA? I don't wanna pay $45

    Yeah, no offense, but if $45 is too expensive for you, you're simply not going to find something cheaper that also works.

    Castlevania Hot Take

    I so badly want to like Circle of the Moon, but never really like it much when I replay it. I do always finish, though. My dark horse pick for the best GBA Castlevania is Harmony of Dissonance, though. I love how diabolical navigation is, lol.

    Castlevania Hot Take

    I played Zero Mission first too, and disliked Super for years. It wasn't until a couple years ago that Super really got its hooks into me in a way that I can't shake off: The possibility space in that game is so broad, and even when I'm not playing Super Metroid proper, the romhacks are...

    Castlevania Hot Take

    My platonic ideal for linearity in metroidvanias is for there to be maybe an intended path or two, but with a reasonable level of sequence breaking that can be done with enough player curiosity and skill. In other words, Super Metroid. You can't quite tell what the intended order is, but there's...

    Castlevania Hot Take

    I agree in some ways, but my problem with every IGAvania entry following Symphony of the Night is how strictly linear they are. You're still wandering around a big labyrinth sure, but in a pretty damn set order because of all the cutscenes and whatnot. Symphony was never quite as open as Super...

    Analogue 3D - an FPGA based reimagining of the N64 announced

    If it's anything like the Pocket (only Analogue device I'll have), there will be screen filters designed to emulate an original tube TV display, which will make it look way nicer than just upscaling a 240p image or whatever onto a modern 1080p or 4K display, imo. I doubt I'll be able to justify...
