Dragon Ball Z: Taiketsu is a very bad fighting game.
But the development team absolutely knew ball because why the hell does Raditz have Mai Shiranui's Houou no Mai
Yep! My understanding is that the one English localized port of the game (on iOS of all things) was essentially a translated ROM of the JP GBA port running on an emulator, so people eventually reverse engineered the official localization into the JP GBA ROM.
So in the span of about one hour:
- A demon killed and ate my mom
- I fused my pet dog with a demon and got an OP partner demon that promptly disappeared
- Now I'm investigating a demon filled mall
Cool ass game. Vibes are immaculate, haven't played an RPG with this strong an atmosphere in a while
All these years later, the Falcon jetting out of the water at full speed while Searching for Friends starts playing is still my absolute favorite Final Fantasy moment of all time
Yeah, it's legit; changes all the Japanese signage on the truck to English when it occurs
There's rumors that the odds are actually lower in the console ports, but I've never been able to confirm that specific bit for myself
Yeah, even with everything going on with the audio, I think all of the other additions positively outweigh it.
Probably going to re-shell it and stick a drop in IPS screen while I'm at it. SPs are relatively uncomplicated, modding wise.
Yeah I enjoyed the Pixel Remaster, but I've always felt FF6 had by far the best implemented extra content of the handheld FF ports, was kinda disappointed about it be excised
FF6 Advance was always my favorite version of the game in spite of the music and palette downgrades, but having fan patches that largely fix both issues makes it pretty much perfect for me now.
Might look into modding a GBA SP to take to work with me, lmao
LMAO
Can't wait to finally sit down and play this for myself
My favorite thing about Final Fantasy VI is how absurdly, unapologetically overpowered the game lets you become within the first 2-3 hours
Yeah, I had a lot to get off my chest about him and went with him first, lol
DBZ Video is still dropping first but this is right after btw
I really need to get a micro one of these days
Strikers I'll have to think about. I've tried to get into Musou games before, but they just aren't my thing
I'd have to think about it a bit, but there's very few characters I disliked, and most of the ones I do dislike, you're supposed to hate them (Kamoshida, Shido, etc.)
Kawakami's definitely up there for me though, even if I think having the option to date her undermines the game's entire first arc
I can see how the UI might be A Lot™ for some people, but I personally think P5's stylized UI is some of the coolest stuff I've seen in the medium
I'm still not even halfway through 4, so I can't really compare on my end yet. Thoroughly enjoyed the cast and story here though, especially the third semester.
As it stands, I think the game might actually be a 10/10 for my personal tastes
Finished my first Persona game yesterday. I really wish it hadn't taken me so long to give this series another shake after initially bouncing off P4 years ago, but I'm glad I did. 100+ hour RPGs aren't usually my thing, much less getting Platinums for them, but here we are.
Gotta finish P4G next!
Doing what I assume is the very last playable portion of Persona 5 Royal, walking around and chatting with all my confidants one last time and man...
It's bittersweet that it's almost over, but playing this game legitimately positively affected me in ways I'm finding it hard to properly vocalize.
Happy birthday!
I don't give a shit about the screen crunch, this is still my preferred version of SMB1
Dakar 2! It's a pretty unremarkable game, but the story is that there was apparently a GBA version developed in parallel that got cancelled late in development. Instead of scrapping their work entirely, they stuck it in as an unlockable in the GC game if you connected a GBA to it. Really cool stuff!
Stress Testing GBA stuff on GB Player, pull up

I miss really cool cross-game connectivity features in gaming, only just today learned about a racing game on Gamecube that has an otherwise conventionally unobtainable GBA version that's unlocked by connecting a GBA
These days, we're lucky to even see games have save data bonuses...
Going to actually move this to tomorrow, since I have a better idea for testing!
Gonna put together a list of GBA games with specific tech quirks and ROMhacks that may or many not stress the limits of GBA hardware and put things through their paces tomorrow. See you then!
Going to have a quick bite to eat and get started in 45-60 mins
Looks like my GBA EZ Flash got delivered today, might do a lil' stream this evening after work to put it through it's paces and make sure it works fine with my Game Boy Player recording setup.
(This'll make getting official hardware capture of GBA fighting games SO much easier for me)
Introducing TvC Continuo, a swiss army knife of a toolkit, made after 6 very interesting months of reverse engineering, it comes with my new favorite features, hitboxes. After so much effort, they're found and now ready to use by anyone willing to install python

Yeah, I'm aware. Still pretty cool how Royal foreshadows a lot of the stuff in this semester in the main game
