Some video games have occasionally had interconnectivity with other games for neat unlockable bonuses or extra content Here's a deep dive video examining both well known and mega obscure instances of fighting games rewarding you for... well, playing other video games. Tap in.

I don't have much to add to this ranking (though I'd put Neo Geo Pocket Color in the Flash Cart tier!) but 3DS getting a 3D compatible Virtual Boy emulator that runs pretty much the entire library at full speed was one of my favorite things I've seen in any homebrew scene

Super Mario Bros. 2/Lost Levels is a deeply, deeply evil video game.

you might think i'm bullshitting but this is legitimately a plot point in a phoenix wright game

I've got an idea for a vid that might be even more niche (and exponentially more expensive) than the interconnectivity video. Might have to consult several homebrew communities for it too, but It'll be fun exploring that specific topic on original hardware. Stay tuned.

Real ones remember

reading these absolutely insane tweets on the Japan piracy discourse to take my mind off of the fact that I've been in the ICU waiting room for two hours waiting on news about my mom

this industry is so fucked man

27 years ago, 9 year old me dreamed of making my own homemade Pokedex for Pokemon Yellow... but didn't own a Game Boy Printer. Tonight, after approximately 39 days... it's done. A physically handmade and printed Pokedex with all 151 Gen 1 Pokemon. Kid me would be over the moon.

man I wish this was a joke, lmao

this will forever be the funniest fake kingdom hearts leak of all time I don't know anything about high school musical but laughed so hard I nearly choked the first time I saw this

KH DDD was weirdly the most open I can recall Nomura and the development team being about scrapped/planned Disney content that didn't make the cut IIRC, Symphony of Sorcery was supposed to include both the original Fantasia *and* Fantasia 2000. Firebird Suite would've gone hard.

Oh hell yeah, this game got the juice There's a secret you can get right off the bat that really made me smile

Took a half day off from work for this. See y'all on the other side.

this arjun champion gotta be some kinda fucked up fighting game social experiment man

Been taking my modded GBAs with me to work or on general errands, and I honestly forgot how nice it is to have portables that actually fit in your pocket with no fuss Helps curb the doom scrolling habits, too. I miss this

this entire kh1 discourse is the entire reason why kh2 guts any semblance of level design and settles on flat, linear, boring rooms with zero complexity btw
