I Can Finally Show You My Entry For This Year’s FAMICASE Exhibition!

みんなのバルーンファイト (Minna no/Everyone’s Balloon Fight), Developed by Hal Laboratory and published by Nintendo in 1990.

Sort of a special edition version designed for multiplayer. If you have a multitap you could play four-player Balloon Fight!

More photos of the Minna no Balloon Fight packaging and etc. here!

Does it look like a good old gameboy action game? I wish it exist, BlackZone : the Silent Doom. You could control this robot guy with the massiv lightning arm, he would be a super engineer because there is not enough engineer as heroes of games. A cross engineer-detective.

The Labyrinth at Nishimori (西森の迷路) 1990, Nintendo Famicom

A graphic adventure horror game for Famicom. A group of friends become separated during a week-long hiking trip through a great forest called Nishimori. As one of the unlucky teens, you find that you’re more than lost–the forest itself has turned against you! When your friends begin to come back from the darkness of the labyrinth, you’ll wish they had stayed lost.

Gameplay takes place over five in-game days–wander aimlessly and you’ll run out of time. Can you solve Nishimori’s riddles and escape, or will you join your friends in the forest forever?

“Children” Famicase design by Cory Schmitz ⊟

The My Famicase Exhibition show has opened in Tokyo’s METEOR store, and though the gallery isn’t online yet, pictures from the participating artists are starting to trickle out.

Here’s one by super cool designer/Tiny Cartridge site designer Cory Schmitz. His concept:

“THE CITY IS THEIRS.” While the grown-ups are hooked up to their VR machines, the children sneak outside & The City becomes their playground. Create your character, explore the decaying mysteries of The City, & watch out for rival gangs. 1 player.

Nubuwo has a roundup of some other fictional Famicom cartridges shown off on Twitter! And, as I must always mention when talking about Famicase, we had a design in the Famicase 2011 show, made with Ashley Davis!

BUY Famicom stuff, upcoming games

Let's talk about Mario Nights, what was once just a blurb in an unassuming Creepypasta, brought to life in an obscure analog horror video, as we talk about everything that fascinates me about it, and everything about it that disappoints me to no end.

Learned about this video through @transistor-rhythm-909, who pointed out that this very blog gets briefly featured in the intro!

my submission for http://raid.community/ v1.0, ty for the invite @simon-no 🎮 available now! — D.E.A.T.H. Blossom [Delivering Every Angel Towards Heaven], named after the sudoku solving technique, is a hybrid survival horror/puzzle game where the player wakes up in an abandoned mental ward in a locked cell. Upon escaping their room, they discover they aren’t the only captive, and must solve a series of puzzles to rescue others from their respective cells.
