Arcade and PCB shop "Messe Sanoh II" in Akihabara, 1992. This is WHY I love reading, without a doubt this is my favorite material, this seems priceless to me.

It’s #mar10 day, so I’m obligated to plug my video about the true origin of Mario, which is completely different from the way it’s usually told.

Working on episode 3 of The Star of the Seine and your honor! She is baby!

[A screenshot of the Nintendo Australia website flash intro from 1998. A number of official artwork renders are used for the buttons. The Yoshi button is labeled "HELP" and is altered to have smaller pupils than usual.] Source: image: https://web.archive.org/web/19980530120304fw_/http://www.nintendo.com.au/flash_index.html, info: Bluesky user @vghistory.bsky.social

The 1998 official site for Nintendo Australia had a deliberately silly aesthetic with small animations and edits to official renders. For the "HELP" button, Yoshi's pupils were made smaller than usual to give him a "concerned" expression, as though in need of help.

As a reminder:

YES Dungeons of DUSK is coming to mobile and

YES it really plays like this

Video games being easily playable and accessible to all? Nintendo cares about that - hence this 2006 U.S. print ad for their Touch Generations titles for Nintendo DS.

This is way too good of a render. Outstanding job!

[CMYK] Nintendo 64 box art for a nonexistent Mario spin-off titled 'MARIO HOCKEY'. It depicts Mario & friends on a hockey rink. Mario is about to shoot a goal, which Donkey Kong is guarding. Peach is following closely behind. In the background, Wario tackles Luigi.

[CMYK] Identical, but without formatting.

I'm surprised this little gem rarely comes up in Mario spin-off conversation... I guess it was a pretty late release 🫤

Hey! We're currently looking into the current gateway connection issues.

Crazy to get the entire series of Cinderella Monogatari for only $15 from someone on FB Marketplace!

I see that NHK put a cropped HD version up and the only other rip on the cat site has hard subs. Maybe I can fix that 😘

It seems the thieving grifter pieces of human filth at "superhuman" are using my work without my consent to create AI editors based on me. The world isn't terrible enough, we also have to deal with people just stealing our work to burn resources and enrich themselves in a brand new way? Fuck off

It's a real shame though, as the first season was actually quite good.

Some of the preserved Namco i-mode ports include Dig Dug II, Grobda, Battle City, and the Tower of Babel.

Earlier this week, @yuvi.app preserved Mappy de Puzzle, as well as several other previously-lost #Namco i-mode ports from the early 2000s! Mappy de Puzzle was released exclusively for keitai in 2003. You guide a set of Meowkies through a maze. It's really charming!

Yesterday, Yuvi preserved a Klonoa chara-den! This is an avatar you could use for videophone calls on i-mode keitai. Each number on the keypad corresponds to a different emotion!
