That is the upgrade the game needed!

@AncientArgonaut @Render96VGTP that is how it was always done before AI. Real live sources collected by the devs themselfs or by the use of texture CDs. Japanese Sega Devs often visted real places for their work.

@Render96VGTP Nice find, I assumed it was hand crafted and related to the lore somehow. Nope, turns out it's lazier than AI. I'm not saying that's really a bad thing either, just I stare at this stuff giving too much credit, so I guess it works.

@PixelCNinja The pain involved was only bearable because of 🩷😁

The 16-bit era was the golden age of storytelling in games. Every pixel and sound bite was crafted with love, no modern indie can touch that raw magic.

@VEsoterica I wonder, how does the Arcade Version compares with the Gamecube Version technically?

The biggest PS2 emulation update of 2026 is a fork; Pcsx2x6 for PS2 arcade emulation of Namco 246 games is coming soon…but here is a WIP preview (vid in reply) #gaming #retrogames #ps2 #playstation

@PixelCNinja Gamecube, one of the best Conoles made. Also the last console that had a absolut minimum IPL/Game Launch Menu and had the focus only on games. With Wii /DS and the other makers consoles the age of "Service" started, something we still suffer greatly.

The GameCube handle was either the coolest thing ever… or the weirdest console decision Nintendo ever made. Either way, the games absolutely delivered. What’s the BEST GameCube game? #Nintendo #GameCube

@Vocetubeia nice

A grama é feita de duas camadas de texturas, ambas com resolução 32x32, mas em diferentes densidades de texel. E claro que tem vertex colors por cima. Assim, a famosa repetição de textura típica dos jogos da 5ª geração (e Pokémon atuais) fica imperceptível. Imagem do console N64:

@PixelCNinja Proper game covers, artwork and manuals are unfortunately a lost thing from the 80s and 90s.

They don't make game covers like they used too. Show me a modern game with a better cover? That's right, you can't 😂

@ProfesseurVun No 3D Screen? Not Ultimate.

Après plusieurs d'utilisation je confirme que c'est la console ULTIME pour du retrogaming Par contre Android a encore besoin de beaucoup de peaufinage pour rendre l'expérience vraiment parfaite 🫡

@kiwitalkz I did not stop fully but having time for a game is rare. And when I play, I stick to some older stuff mostly. Two Kids totally play a role in not having time to play. XD

One of the most fascinating things I have learned from interviewing game devs for over half a decade is the sheer volume of game devs that either rarely play games or don't play them at all outside of work. (one dev told me they haven't played a game in over 10 years, you'd be surprised who it is, given their body of work.) These seem to be the main reasons for this 1. They spend all day looking at a screen so they don't want to come home and look at a screen. 2. They don't want to be influenced by other games 3. Becoming a parent takes up all their time 4. Games have become monotonous homework for them 5. There are so many games that choosing one is too daunting now lol. It is a fascinating phenomenon

@PixelCNinja is this or the Irem M92 HW in general on the Mister yet?

Mystic Riders is a horizontal-scrolling shoot 'em up arcade game developed and published by Irem. It was released in 1992 and runs on Irem M92 arcade hardware. I'm pretty sure this was inspired by Cotton.

People need to understand, that AI is a tool. It can be friendly & talks but it is a tool. The Industry should not replace human creativity with AI. It should use AI so that humans can focus on creativity instead of time consuming and boring tasks that always come again.

@nori_bomber what do you think? Works on a real Virtual Boy :)

@JeffDraws @kiwitalkz that was done in TOS Star Trek.

@kiwitalkz @daily_arcade "I'll just paint all the walls in my house neutral gray, the light will make the color."

During the development of Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, Nintendo devs flew to the U.S. to meet Retro Studios artists and handed them pantone chips for DK's fur colour. The devs thought that was weird cause once you add lighting it won't look like that anyway lol.

@ima_1966 1997... yes I got it with Rumble Pak! No big deal today but back then it was great. About 2 years later I joined BigN myself at the age of 18. 😎

新作は、まさにStar Fox 64を作っていた頃に僕の頭の中で思い描いていた映像そのもの！超リアルなキャラクター表現も大好物です。とはいえ、映画版のフォックスは可愛すぎて❤️

@Todd_Garner Yes but you do not do the movies to please any Critics. Miyamoto too is worried about the bad Critics but the Mario movie was fun and makes tons of money because the people/fans like it. MK2 could do the same. Still need to see the movie.

I wanted to address a comment I made regarding some of the critical responses to our movie. I realize that, in my eagerness to defend the people who worked so hard on this film, I lost sight of the fact that our job is to create the best possible movie—not only for the fans, but for anyone coming to the cinema. Once that movie is out in the world, no one is above criticism. For that, I apologize.

@kiwitalkz Yes but you need a base color for the unlit model to go from. DKs color is not just A color. It is a specific color given by Nintendo. That is like a guideline to follow. A Pantone Chip makes that easier. I have similar stories from my time.

@daily_arcade Because when you add lighting that colour is no longer that colour

@Apogee_Ent Has Apogee still the Rights to Blake Stone?

The funniest enemy death sound in gaming might actually be from Blake Stone.

@RobertDaleSmith That is cool! I need that. That would be a very cool addition to the MiSTer FPGA.

@KazikiUmi @ima_1966 indeed

@ima_1966 言うの2回目ですが… 映画のフォックスは良いキャラしておりました🦊✨

だって映画版のフォックスはマリオと初対面の時の表情が最高やし‼️一瞬敵対視するけど直ぐに互いに理解示す演出が素晴らしい‼️
