MAGICAL POP'N for #SNES/SFC (Polestar/Pack-in-Video/1995) Nice action platformer released only in Japan, a hidden gem. Producers also published the famous Harvest Moon. Got mixed reviews back then because it's a big game lacking a save feature. #マジカルポップン #SNESFriday #2D

Put simply, it's collectible because the voices were done by a famous celebrity who died young. Ai Iijima.

The Adventure of Little Ralph is one of the strangest PlayStation exclusives. On the surface it's a simple 2D action platformer, but every boss fight suddenly transforms into a one-on-one fighting game complete with special move mechanics. Released only in Japan in 1999, it feels like two completely different genres accidentally merged into one game, and somehow it works.

Blackthorne (1994) for the SNES is a "cinematic platformer". Developed by Blizzard (then known as Silicon & Synapse), and published by Interplay, it's a "Prince of Persia with guns". The SNES version had some of its gore effects censored in comparison to the PC/DOS release. Re-released for the Switch, PS4, Windows, and Xbox One as part of the Blizzard Arcade Collection (2021).

Asterix for the Sega Master System is a high-quality 8-bit platformer released in 1991 by Sega. With good graphics, responsive controls and distinct character mechanics (you start with Asterix then change to Obelix later, etc.), it's another late gem for the system that was positively received. Released in Japan, Europe and Brazil, it was unsurprisingly omitted from the North American market (probably because the comic book isn't popular there).

Castlevania, known in Japan as Akumajō Dracula, turns 40 this year. It was released in 1986 for the Famicom Disk System (or NES outside of Japan). I found this game to be both highly addictive, super tough and - at times - frustrating. What can't be denied is its cult status and longevity, with the latest title of the series (Haunted Castle Revisited) being published in 2024. A brilliant platformer, if you had the skills (which I didn't). Note: Video edit is the 1987 NES version, which came after the original 1986 Famicon debut.

Deep in the heart, Japanese incumbent Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi believes that Japan shouldn't apologize for its #WW2 war crimes action because Japan didn't commit any aggression. In 1994, Sanae Takaichi, who was in her 1st year as a Diet member, criticized then Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama for admitting on behalf of Japan that the war of aggression back then was wrong. On August 15, 1995, Murayama issued a cabinet-endorsed statement to mark the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II, which declared that "Japan, following a mistaken national policy, advanced along the road to war... and, through its colonial rule and aggression, caused tremendous damage and suffering to the people of many countries, particularly to those of Asian nations."

In a 1997 interview with Rolling Stone, months before Wild Things (1998) was released, Neve Campbell said she enjoyed kissing Denise Richards while filming Wild Things. “It was fun,” Campbell told about the movie’s famous scene. “We just sorta went in and did it. Actually, we mixed margaritas and brought a bottle of wine in my trailer and got drunk first.” Campbell also recorded her thoughts about the experience in her journal before filming: “Okay, I'm gonna make out with a girl for the first time in my life. It's so interesting that a lot of times you learn things about yourself and have new experiences when shooting a scene, because they're things you wouldn't normally do in your life.”

$Two new #threejs projects on the way 😍 Working on my own gem renderer with a custom refraction material in TSL for #WebGPU, combining Screen Space Reflections + SSGTAO for superior results, as this allows diamonds to generate reflections on the metal mesh. The performance is incredible, even on gems with over 200 diamonds. This time, without any additional libraries. Just React Three Fiber and a lot of magic with custom shaders in TSL. GemGPU™ will also come with a very minimalist gem and metal customization panel that hides and lets the jewelry be the star. I also created a beautiful new stats panel that completely hides in the scene when not needed. It provides relevant optimization information, a performance gauge, summary and expanded modes, and day/night toggle. In the video, you can also see SSGI in action, with a pearl that reflects, in real time, all the objects in the scene, just as the objects in the scene reflect the pearl. It's magical. There are still a few things to fix, but I'll share the live link soon. Stay tuned.$

🚨 WARNING: SOMETHING EXTREMELY BAD IS COMING!! Bank of Japan will hike interest rates to 1.00% next week. Japan hasn’t been at 1.00% since the 1990s. And if you think Japan doesn’t affect global markets... YOU ARE COMPLETELY WRONG. Every time BOJ raised rates, Bitcoin dumped by 20%+ in days. But it’s not just about BTC. Let me break this down for you: The last time Japan was in this range, the world was already in risis. In 1994, bonds got crushed in the “Great Bond Massacre”. About $1.5 TRILLION in bond market value was wiped out back then. Then in early 1995, the pressure kept building. And the yen went REALLY BAD. On April 19, 1995, USD/JPY hit around 79.75, a record low for the dollar. Now here’s the part most people forget. Japan pushed rates higher, then had to CUT again later that same year. BOJ brought the discount rate down to 0.50% in September 1995. That one detail explains everything. Because when Japan tightens into a fragile system, it doesn’t stay “local”. Japan is the CHEAP MONEY hub. And Japan is a MASSIVE global holder. Japan holds over $1.25 TRILLION of U.S. Treasuries. So if Japan decided to sell, the entire world feels it right away. THIS IS A WARNING. Not because “rates will go up”. Because the last time we were here, the system was already under stress and it forced reactions fast. Markets are not pricing it right now. But they will. I’ve studied markets for over a decade and called nearly every major market top, including the October BTC ATH. Follow and turn notifications on. I’ll post the next warning BEFORE it hits the headlines.

Weird Dreams (Rainbird Software, 1989) is indeed a very fitting title for one of the weirdest games ever. You are playing the character Steve, who is fighting for his life in the form of dream challanges. If you fail, you flatline. I wasn't a kid anymore when I first played this, but in my teenage years. Pretty much creeped me out back then, and still looks pretty funky now. The game got extremely mixed reviews, with some magazines rating it in the 80-90% range, while others hated it (scores of below 30%). If there was ever a game that had the perfect title, this would be it. Total nutcase, never played anything like it since.

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith for the Game Boy Advance released 21 years ago today on May the 4th, 2005. While Xbox and PS2 got their action title the same day, the handhelds got a classic 2D beat 'em up. It plays great. You can tell they put a ton of heart into it. The game gives you two characters to play the entire story as, Obi-Wan and Anakin. Each one has a unique skill tree to upgrade as you go and force powers to play around with. Obviously, those stories vary just a tiny bit in the movie, so the game reflects it. Aside from the fun 2D brawling, there's some light platforming and puzzles, while the DS even offered vehicle sections to help break up the action. Both versions feature boss fights that further alter the gameplay to better serve the 1v1 nature. The movie has some legendary duels, so you likely know what to expect. #StarWarsDay #RetroGaming

Today I finally get to play in the snow in a yard. MY YARD! AND I LOVE IT! I live in a house that love bought. We always lived in apartments because there's no wheelchair accessible houses to rent. With a LOT of help and a human friend to split it with, we finally got a house with ramps and an accessible bathroom. And today I finally got frolic and jump and run and roll in the snow! ❤️🐾❤️ Also, the leaf blower makes snoot storms and that's so fun! #Snow #DogLovers Video description for inclusivity: clips of Chesnyy the Servicerottie and her visiting lab puppy, Moon, playing in snow in her back yard

It looks to me like that guy was just protecting the lady with a backpack, when he was pepper sprayed at first. That is when he got tackled by the agents, and dragged back onto the street. Here it is zoomed in, and @ 50% speed. Much easier to see it this way. He clearly did not undertake any offensive action towards the agents at all. The most he did was to raise his left hand, protecting himself from the pepper spray. The lady with a back pack also seems to be getting back onto the street. but only because the guy was holding her by the hood of her jacket. So, when got pulled back onto the street, she also got pulled out with him.

Imagine buying a video game for $60 then watching it become worth $1.56 MILLION. In 2021, a factory sealed copy of Super Mario 64 shattered records by selling at auction for $1.56 million. Not because the game was rare to play Nintendo has re released it multiple times. The value came from one thing: condition. This copy had never been opened and earned a near perfect 9.8 A++ grade, making it one of fewer than five known in such pristine condition. What’s even crazier? Just 48 hours earlier, a sealed copy of the original The Legend of Zelda had set the world record at $870,000. Then Mario came along and almost doubled it. It proves an incredible truth: The most valuable video games aren’t always the rarest to own they’re the rarest to find untouched. Sometimes, the biggest fortune isn’t hidden in what you played It’s hidden in what you never opened.

SimCity for the Super Famicom released 35 years ago today on April 26th, 1991 in Japan. This is one of those SNES games I could just lose hours in. I love 2000 (especially on PC) but the simplicity of the original game with a controller is nice and cozy. I wasn't the best mayor a sim could ask for, especially when I was younger than 10 and the disasters were my favorite part. I did try and slowly learn the game, though. You probably can't tell from my gameplay, as I've forgotten a lot. I know this is far, far from optimal. The music deserves a special nod. Maxis' music evolved over the years especially to The Sims, but one thing remained constant. It was never intrusive, yet still there and wonderful. It's also very calming, a perfect match to the serenity of the city building. I very much needed this today. Apologies to anyone I've missed and will miss the replies to. It's been a rough weekend. Take care of yourselves. #RetroGaming
