Heads up: You can get a UHD-capable Blu-ray burner for your computer for less than $50 right now. A whole bunch of lightly-used Japanese BU40N listings have flooded eBay in the last few months. My guess is a bunch of companies just replaced their laptops, so I don’t expect these to last

Just bought a giant lot of development ROMs from Taito Japan that I'm gonna dump and dissect live a week from today! I genuinely don't know what's in here, but there are multiple unreleased and lost NES/Famicom games from this era, and I have reason to suspect that at least one is here.

I purchased the 2025 N-gage game. It had a seal that must've been real hard to make! The manual is nice, and shows all the ringtone and wallpapers you get.

Hey @bsky.app team -- @trezy.codes runs a full verification process with the Games Industry Labeler. Would be great to onboard him as a community verifier sooner rather than later. Tech talk here with background -> atprotocol.dev/tech-talk-tr...

This is amazing news! Square Enix, Capcom, Taito, and Sega aim to "archive past development materials" to preserve historical assets for research and exhibitions. Use your browser translate feature to read this great article - unless you can read Japanese anyway! gamemakers.jp/article/2024...

I uploaded rips of Gust Super Collection Vol. 1 and 2 to the Internet Archive. These were mini CDs that Gust gave away at events around 1996 that contained music from the games they were developing at the time. This even includes a song from their unreleased port of "Apache" by Digital Integration.

No joke, gamers and tech folk are going to be the first to notice the collapse of cheap global trade. Every hobby and distraction with beeps, boops and blinking lights relied on a robust global pipeline.

April 1 1998, 1080° Snowboarding debuted on the N64 in the Americas! In the Mountain Village course, there is a pair of snowbound cars: a yellow Mini and a blue Reliant....a fairly clear reference to Mr. Bean, his signature vehicle and the blue car nemesis he often encountered!

Today, I had a good meeting with our Altera partner. I’ve decided that we will create Agilex 5 engineering boards in a modified MiSTER Pi form factor to seed to developers. I am considering adding a condition that the hardware becomes open hardware after a set time.

People are getting extra weird about this and I want to chime in with a quick thread - when I was researching what would become the Origins of Hentai in the US panel for Anime Lockdown a few years ago I read a ridiculous amount of US newspaper articles and theatre listings from the early 90s...

"Anime didn't become anything worth talking about in pop culture until Toonami" Anime was charting on Billboard in '97. ... ... ... Toshinden was apparently on the charts in the top-20 for close to two months. Holy shit.
