10/31/2023: Localization News - Dead of the Brain 1!
Mister Mosquito. For that bath tub scene.

No, NOT a trick, a Halloween treat! Presenting the Dead of the Brain 1 English patch by David Shadoff for the DEAD last official PC Engine CD game published by NEC before exiting the console biz in 1999! I helped edit/betatest and it's also a game I actually finished in 2023, yaaay! Shubibiman also did a French localization. |

General Gaming / Pre-Order / Limited Edition feeds

How do you guys stay notified when a new limited edition comes out? I always find out to late and every one is sold out of their pre-orders. Majora's Mask is on that comes to mind recently. I know I want to pick up a Wii U when the new Zelda bundle comes out. Looking for a feed or a service that will shoot me an email or something when it's available for pre-order. Work blocks most gaming sites so something I don't have to check every day is a bonus!

I finally found the last US release Bust-A-Move game I needed. Bust-A-Move 2 for Gameboy is mine after two years of searching. Never thought this title would be the "rare" game that would keep from completing that series.

Don't know if I'll ever find the super rare Japanese releases I don't have. I'm torn about getting into any of the reproductions.

Don't remember seeing this anywhere and figured I'd pass it along in case anyone happened to miss it.
Retroware.tv is running an indiegogo campaign [http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-video-game-years-help-keep-the-show-going] to fund the editing of their series "The Video Game Years" [http://retrowaretv.com/category/shows/the-video-game-years/] up to the year 1990. If you haven't seen the series check it out.
They're looking for cash to speed up the editing process. Less time between released episodes would be awesome.

I'm never a fan of not owning what you bought. I do get on the gamestop hate wagon all the time, but mostly because of the pre-order spiel and opening sealed games and then selling them as new.
Part of me longs for the day of Funcoland...If only I'd had the disposable income then I could have walked away with so much and a 10% employee discount.

About halfway through Arc Rise Fantasia right now. Pretty good game, but the best feature is the super fast load times so grinding WP is sooo easy when you're in and out of a battle in seconds.

But I agree it is nice to have even though I only have 18 games for it right now.I loved the PS1. I've been going back and playing a few old games on my PSP lately. Suikoden, Symphony of the Night, Chrono Cross. They worst thing about it is that polygons were all the rage and new technology and didn't hold up very well to the years. Put in FF7 and you can count how many polygons make up Cloud.

Has anyone had success creating their own covers from scans? I have a handful of games that the cover project doesn't have up on their site.

I listen to my iPad all day long at work, and its usually mix between 90's punk and video game soundtracks.
Game music is awesome because it introduces you to things you wouldn't ever be exposed to otherwise. I discovered Shibuy-kei because of Katamari Damacy. That led to Fantastic Plastic Machine and Pizzicato Five. If you like Jazz and Electronica check it out.
Not so much composers but some more good modern songs from OSTs and Piano Collections.
Katamari Damacy - Cherry Blossom Color Season
Katamari Damacy - Lonely Rolling Star
NeiR - Song of the Ancients (Piano)
NeiR - Hills of the Radiant Wind (OST)
Ni No Kuni - Arie Recollection
And you can't do anything without music from FF.
Final Fantasy V - My home, sweet home (Piano)
Final Fantasy X - To Zanarkand (Live Orchestral)
