Some video games have occasionally had interconnectivity with other games for neat unlockable bonuses or extra content Here's a deep dive video examining both well known and mega obscure instances of fighting games rewarding you for... well, playing other video games. Tap in.

Always loved that the Data Install screen for BBS on PSP directly references the Data Install screen for the Japanese releases of KH1, which supported the PS2 Hard Drive.

Big fan of when video games take playable characters from previous entries in a series and implement them as extremely difficult optional superbosses with the express purpose of kicking your shit in Might do a rare non-fighting game video on the subject next year, honestly

Always promised myself that if I ever got around to playing the leaked GBC build of Resident Evil, it'd be on original hardware. Guess we're doing this!

Outside of their games generally being incredible more often than not, Treasure almost always pushed hardware limits beyond normal conventions, and this along with Astro Boy: Omega Factor (their best work on GBA, imo) are some of the best examples I miss that company so much man

pixel grid supremacy

I don't have much to add to this ranking (though I'd put Neo Geo Pocket Color in the Flash Cart tier!) but 3DS getting a 3D compatible Virtual Boy emulator that runs pretty much the entire library at full speed was one of my favorite things I've seen in any homebrew scene

Super Mario Bros. 2/Lost Levels is a deeply, deeply evil video game.

you might think i'm bullshitting but this is legitimately a plot point in a phoenix wright game

I've got an idea for a vid that might be even more niche (and exponentially more expensive) than the interconnectivity video. Might have to consult several homebrew communities for it too, but It'll be fun exploring that specific topic on original hardware. Stay tuned.

Real ones remember

reading these absolutely insane tweets on the Japan piracy discourse to take my mind off of the fact that I've been in the ICU waiting room for two hours waiting on news about my mom

this industry is so fucked man

27 years ago, 9 year old me dreamed of making my own homemade Pokedex for Pokemon Yellow... but didn't own a Game Boy Printer. Tonight, after approximately 39 days... it's done. A physically handmade and printed Pokedex with all 151 Gen 1 Pokemon. Kid me would be over the moon.

man I wish this was a joke, lmao

this will forever be the funniest fake kingdom hearts leak of all time I don't know anything about high school musical but laughed so hard I nearly choked the first time I saw this

KH DDD was weirdly the most open I can recall Nomura and the development team being about scrapped/planned Disney content that didn't make the cut IIRC, Symphony of Sorcery was supposed to include both the original Fantasia *and* Fantasia 2000. Firebird Suite would've gone hard.

Oh hell yeah, this game got the juice There's a secret you can get right off the bat that really made me smile

Took a half day off from work for this. See y'all on the other side.
