“The Arcade Is The Warmest Place To Hide.”

1998 - mobile phone customers are surprised to find a game 'Black Gloves' preinstalled on their new phones. The gameplay is based on a long, skeletal arm finding its way to a sleeping victim. Multiple reports of phone owners being hauled from their beds spur an unusual mass recall

GBC demake for Breath of the Wild ⊟ 

I will never stop posting Link’s Awakening-adjacent content on this site. Shout-outs to Nintendo Wire for producing this video demonstrating what the Switch release could look and sound like on a Game Boy Color:

There are too many amazing Famicase designs ⊟ 

I wanted to feature my favorites from this year’s My Famicase Exhibition – the annual showcase of Famicom cartridge designs for made up games, hosted by Tokyo game shop Meteor – but there are too many splendid pieces to pick from. By the time I got through half of the designs posted on Twitter with the Famicase hashtag, the number of open tabs I had threatened to crash my web browser, so here are ten standout cartridges I’ve found so far, including a number from friends of the site we’ve talked about here before.

The artists we’ve featured above, starting from the top left: Duncan Corrigan,  @pyong_pyong, Adam Tierney, Austin DuBois, William Greenawalt,  Philip Summers, Jordan Rosenberg, Sebastien, @data_doge, and Cory Schmitz.

Meteor will have around 250 Famicase designs up for display at its gallery until May 13. It’s my dream to one day make it to one of these, so if you’re in the area, please do not miss this opportunity to pay Meteor a visit!

alternate universe late 90′s arcade game ideas: the beat-em-up classic Dynamite Deka aka Die Hard Arcade but instead based on the Fifth Element with Korben Dallas and Leeloo as the 2 players. Ruby Rhod is an unlockable character (once you get to Fhloston Paradise) who uses that “bzzz BZZZZZZZ” line (when he wants everyone to get away from him) to launch opponents across the stage. if the game is a success Sega will further develop “Crazy Fifth Element Flying Taxi” with Cheb Khaled instead of The Offspring, McDonald’s instead of KFCs for fare destinations. we missed out on some potential hits yall.

2019′s Famicase designs are here! ⊟ 

It’s the best time of the year when Tokyo-based game shop Meteor opens up My Famicase Exhibition, its annual gallery of Famicom cartridges adorned with labels for made-up games from talented artists around the world. My timeline is filled with amazing cartridge art – I picked out and embedded ten cool pieces I spotted on Twitter!:

The weirdest part about the Ms. M&M post is if you google “Bambi Ps2” you get an entire fanon wiki for a PS2 Bambi game that doesn’t exist and is entirely made up, including list of bugs and glitches that don’t actually exist, because there isn’t an actual Bambi game for PlayStation 2 or any Bambi game at all for that matter
