Animal Forest (Doubutsu no Mori) 「どうぶつの森」 2001 - Nintendo 64 - Nintendo Animal Crossing’s Japan-exclusive debut on the Nintendo 64. There are actually two versions of the game, one that includes a memory card and one that does not.

Finished up Ai Senshi Nicol (愛戦士ニコル/Love Warrior Nicol) on the Famicom Disk System tonight! If you are looking for an excellent Konami game that’s kind of like Guardian Legend meets Fester’s Quest then definitely give this one a shot. The entire game is in English too! 👍

Seaman 「シーマン」 1999 - Dreamcast - Vivarium A virtual pet simulator where the player must feed and take care of Seaman. The game was originally planned to be released for the 64DD with Shigeru Miyamoto himself championing the game to Nintendo, but development later shifted to the Dreamcast.

Kuubo Senki 「空母戦記」 (Aircraft Carrier War Chronicle) 1994 - PC-9801 - General Support The only PC-98 game I own. I’ve never seen a video game clamshell case this massive before! I put a photo of Mega Drive and Famicom clamshells next to it so you can see just how big this absolute unit really is.

Super Shooting Watch 「スーパーシューティングウォッチ」 1992 - Hudson Soft The Super Famicom version of Hudson’s Shooting Watch, this cool little device tracks your button pressing speed over the course of 10 seconds. It also functions as a watch, a timer, a stopwatch, and has a little button mini-game.

Here’s a weird one for you, the SmartCom. An unlicensed personal organizer released for the Game Boy, GB Light, and GB Color in 1999 by Karat. I believe this was released by Datel in the West.

Hi-Saturn MMP-1-2 console by Hitachi. Not quite as cool as the Navi, but still looks awesome and has a unique boot screen animation when you start it up.

The Godzilla NES ost 'Earth' track is always playing in my mind as I go about my business. It has a unique, somber, thoughtful vibe that really resonates. Compile games had a huge impact on me as a kid 😁 youtu.be/Q3lsfg5es-E?...

Makaimura 「魔界村」 1986 - Famicom - Capcom Famicom Mini: Makaimura 「ファミコンミニ 魔界村」 2004 - Game Boy Advance - Nintendo

Rockman Complete Works 1 2 3 「ロックマン コンプリートワークス 1 2 3」 1999 - PlayStation - Capcom Re-releases of the original Famicom Rockman games that include bonuses like remixed music, boss time attack challenges, artwork galleries, character databases, and PocketStation functionality.

Mario & Wario 「マリオとワリオ」 1993 - Super Famicom - Nintendo Mario & Wario was developed by Game Freak just a year or so before they began work on the first Pokémon games.

Gremlins 2 「グレムリン2」 1990 - Famicom - Sunsoft Obviously based on the 1990 movie of the same name, Gremlins 2 feels right at home with other 8-bit Sunsoft games like Blaster Master and Fester’s Quest.

The trilogy is finally complete.

First time seeing a V Saturn RG-JX2 in person. Really digging the color scheme! Unfortunately, there’s not really much of difference between this model and Sega’s standard models.

Akumajou Dracula 「悪魔城ドラキュラ」 (Castlevania) 1986 - Famicom Disk System - Konami The game that started it all for one of Konami’s biggest franchises. The FDS version isn’t too different from Castlevania on the NES, though it does have a save feature so players can start from wherever they left off.

Finally went through and finished the “Extra Mode” for Hoshi no Kirby / Kirby’s Dream Land on Game Boy last night. I was surprised at just how brutal some of the boss fights were!

Arthur to Astaroth no Nazo Makaimura: Incredible Toons 「アーサーとアスタロト謎魔界村 インクレディブルトゥーンズ」 1996 - Sega Saturn - Capcom A spin-off of Dynamix’s The Incredible Machine series, Nazo Makaimura takes the PC hit and combines it with one of Capcom’s flagship franchises.

I treated myself to a little (big) present this month and bought the Strider Hiryu (2014) Special A-Class Limited Edition set. I was looking for just the art book and learned that it was released exclusively with this edition so I decided to make my poor wallet suffer a bit and buy the whole set. 😂

Cosmic Wars 「コズミックウォーズ」 1989 - Famicom - Konami A tactical turn-based strategy game set in the Gradius universe that includes many familiar ships and enemies from the series. A Parodius version of the game was released years later on the PS1 called ParoWars.
