So, in the last week, I've encountered 6 copies of PC Genjin 2 for PC Engine that all worked within the last year that are now all dead. It seems like this game specifically is failing in huge numbers. If you own a PC Genjin 2 Hucard, could you test for me? I'm trying to find still working copies!

somehow in spite of everything else this game does wrong what's pissed me off the most is the combination window color/thin font being nigh unreadable

Post image Individually, a person who plays fighting games may have a bunch of different complicated nuanced motivations and emotions that are served by different parts of the fighting game experience — not limited to the game itself on their console, but the broader journey of mastery and connectivity. The high-minded ideal FGC stuff I mentioned above is real and does exist! It just doesn’t exist enough to sell the millions of copies that go into funding the next Street Fighter or Tekken. At scale, building and selling games as a service looks a lot more like making a theme park or a casino, where you have customers entering at a given point, you give them choices on what kind of experience they can have in your game, and you give them clear signs and paths to choose from in order to make it easy for them.

In the above section, we established that people play video games because they want to feel something specific. It’s a brief moment of agency in a day where you were otherwise probably at the mercy of some stupid bullshit at your job, or at school, or in your family, or on the bus, or whatever. We spend most of our day pushing the boulder up, and the brief moment of rest we get is choosing the video game we play in between eating dinner and going to sleep, where we get to act like the person we imagine ourselves to be as the boulder rolls back down the hill.

“It doesn't feel safe”—Many international game developers plan to skip GDC in US Stories of border issues lead to pervasive travel fears across the worldwide industry.

As GDC starts this week, I published a story summing up the overwhelming fear stopping many international developers from coming to San Francisco this year. arstechnica.com/gaming/2026/...

I know Sakura Wars fans definitely don’t think highly of him, a lot of people involved with the series (including Ouji Hiroi) have dropped hints about Nagoshi acting like a dick. Some people are just like that when they find themselves in charge.

I feel like there is a whole saga about Toshihiro Nagoshi’s tenure at Sega that I hope will eventually come to light. My general impression is that he changed (both in appearance and demeanor) as he got more powerful at the company, because how he looked and talked in the 00s is way different
