Alright, the chronicles of the NES library continue this week! Starting with... oh dear. It's our very first game published by a third-party, and it does not set a high bar for future prospects. ...
2017-05-13 15:56:53 +0000 UTC View PostI'm going to be out of town for two solid weeks beginning this weekend for BitSummit and the next Retronauts episode recording weekend, so I've been storing up videos scripts and game footage to be ab...

Well, today was awful. So, I decided to take my mind off the unhappy news from D.C., which promises to have devastating effects on my livelihood and life, by ditching my planned work for the day and p...
2017-05-04 23:20:44 +0000 UTC View PostIsn't that just the most heartwarming title — one that speaks of quality and joy? Actually, let me sweeten the pot a little: 4,000 words about Bandai NES games developed by TOSE and based on ani...

Here's your next video! Very exciting stuff. Well, maybe not "exciting," but Data East does make a mean game of pool. I enjoyed this one, which made for a nice change of pace from the recent slog of G...

This is probably not the retrospective this game deserves, but it's the one we need right now. Or something like that. I wish I could provide more insightful commentary on HAL Wrestling, but ...

Hey look, I managed to make some progress toward getting ahead with my video production schedule. This episode tackles something a little different than usual in that it's a look at new games...

I'm steadily pushing to get releases up with more of a lead time, so here's the latest video up much earlier than usual. I'm hoping that if I can get a full 7-10 ahead of the public release, I might b...
2017-04-14 02:42:08 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, I forgot to post this in the midst of last weekend's live panel madness, but here's the script for the next episode of Game Boy World. It's a Family Stadium title. Ah well.

Well, it's happening. The big Game Boy World/Works change... which is going to be hard to get used to, I can tell — I even said "World" in the intro. Consider it a transitional episode.
This one i...
2017-04-09 16:43:25 +0000 UTC View PostThe next Good Nintentions Gaiden — or rather, the first NES Works Gaiden — episode breaks from the usual set of topics from long ago in favor of a look at two new games. Though they are g...

Hey everyone, just a quick heads-up! I mentioned this on the Retronauts blog but figured it bears a specific post here, for the people who support this specific corner of my work.
Remember how...
2017-04-05 13:53:54 +0000 UTC View PostTo be honest, after spending some time with this one, I was beginning to lean toward the "die" option. It's kind of a bold game, and it probably could have been pretty great with a little more refinem...
2017-04-02 20:07:20 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone, it's a new month, and a new opportunity for me to once again say thank you for your continued support of my video retrospective projects. These efforts would be impossible without your su...

Hi everyone, I wanted to squeeze in one final video before the end of the month and just barely made it. Here is the next Good Nintentions Gaiden, by request of David Morton: A look at Konami's cult F...
2017-03-31 20:40:23 +0000 UTC View PostToday I have for you the rough script for the next episode of Good Nintentions — a Patron request for a Gaiden episode on another Japan-only release. This one I was only too happy to tackle, because...

You asked for it, I made it. A new episode of Game Boy World. I still have a few other things to sort out before I make an earnest return to the series, but hopefully this will assuage your fears that...

I'm very sorry to say I was unable to provide footage of anything beyond the first stage of this game because it is just as ridiculously difficult in the days of my doddering senior citizenship as it ...
2017-03-18 21:33:07 +0000 UTC View PostAnd here's the script for Gumshoe. In a wonderful coincidence, I managed to restore my ability to capture light gun games in HD today, so this episode will arrive on-schedule this weekend.

Hi all, I'll be streaming NES cult classic Power Blade and its reputedly janky Famicom counterpart Power Blazer this afternoon at 5:30 p.m. ET. Please join me, should you be so incli...
2017-03-09 15:36:55 +0000 UTC View PostHopefully this next episode will taste like a big ol' cup of Scope to wash the flavor of Urban Champion out of your mouth. I was deeply offended when the USgamer team voted Ballo...
