I went on the Video Game History Hour podcast with fellow preservationist LNRC! It's a great overview of keitai game preservation, from the games to preservation challenges. I hope you enjoy! Big thanks to Phil Salvador for having us on. Link in the replies!

See, this is why I love doing what I do. People going back to playing old Keitai games they once loved and making RTAs of them is so awesome to see. Something you could of never done even a couple years ago. youtube.com/watch?v=dqH04_…

@basemntbrothers @retrogaming My Jaguar CD these days goes mostly unloved. But I did make a service and a hardware device that will allow you play System link games like Doom over the internet, called Jag-Link. I got some PCB's in recently to finish up making more.

Now here's an item for someone with more dollars than sense: A CIB Atari Jaguar CD. #atari #atarijaguar @retrogaming #gamecollecting

Online features for "Pink Sweets Gaiden: Taisen! Rose Sisters" have been revived, thanks to @YuviApp! This keitai-exclusive Pink Sweets spinoff let you upload ghost data and fight against other players in ranked VS battles. Earn points and upgrade your character!

Well, if you didn't like Pachislots to begin with. We had found out some of them would require you to purchase sound/music as a DLC for the game to just get more money from you.

@LJSTAR_ lol okay that’s explains a lot..

@YuviApp I don't think that's an actual game lol

Does anyone remember that old mmo Reverie of Solace Online?? I installed it today but it wouldn't let me get past the start screen??? the music was all slowed down too....

Earlier this week, @YuviApp preserved Mappy de Puzzle, as well as several other previously-lost Namco i-mode ports from the early 2000s! Mappy de Puzzle was released exclusively for keitai in 2003. You guide a set of Meowkies through a maze. It's really charming!

Two previously-lost Sonic keitai minigames and the original i-mode version of Sonic Jump were preserved by @YuviApp! The minigames are Sonic 7 Narabe and Sonic Reversi Hyper. Sonic Jump was later released for Western phones, but the original keitai version was lost until today.

Last year, Yuvi preserved the trial version of Dragon Ball Battle Heroes! Originally released for i-mode keitai in 2009, this is a fighting game with three CPU opponents. The trial version includes Point Battle, where you compete to get the most KOs within a time limit.

Earlier this year, Yuvi preserved a chara-den of Reid from Tales of Eternia! Chara-den were avatars you could use for videophone calls on i-mode keitai. Each number on the keypad corresponds to a different emotion! Most chara-den are 2D, but some use 3D models, like this one.

I will say I like Blue Dragon probably way too much. I’ve beaten this game more than a handful of times. This is a sweet project and another reason to play it again one day :D

For those who haven't seen it. A member of the Keitai Archive community did a wonder presentation at JawnCon recently about Keitai Preservation! Its a wonderful video you should give it a watch. youtube.com/watch?v=x53WdM…

@Tombor13 @basemntbrothers Yah I saw after, very cool. :)

@YuviApp @basemntbrothers Someone is actually working on a translation of this game right now

Some examples of untranslated Mega CD RPG's.

@basemntbrothers I own nearly every Mega CD game as well. It’s been on my list to translate one of them one day. Just so far behind :)

Pink Sweets Gaiden: Taisen! Rose Sisters (ピンクスゥイーツ外伝 対戦！ローズシスターズ) was preserved by @YuviApp last year! This was CAVE's keitai-exclusive prequel spinoff to its Pink Sweets schmup. The game also let you fight other players via online rankings.

@TwinRebirth I was translating this a couple years ago, but haven’t worked on it for over a year at this point. There are quite a handful of exclusive Xbox 360 Japanese rpgs with new additions or content

Hoy nos ha llegado el genial #JRPG cross over de #CrossEdge, en su revisión "Dash" para #X360, exclusiva de Japón. Esta revisión ofrecía contenido inédito que no se incluyó en la versión de PS3 que llegó a Occidente, por desgracia. Lo chulo es que en la portada aparecen los personajes de Lyner y Aurica, de Ar tonelico Melody of Elemia, jugables (por cierto) dentro del propio juego. #RPG

Also as a massive Chobits fan. This is insulting…

We really have to stop with these AI Translation patches. If you’re going to translate using AI, then you might as well also ensure it is well documented on this translation gets posted on as such. Because otherwise people will take it for face value.
