I meant to do this way before Dark Horse released their English version of this book, but given the fiasco with it I figured I'd get back to working on it. I ended up taking way longer on this than I expected, but it's finally mostly done.
The purpose of this is to translate the terms used in...
I've already asked this on the Discord, but I decided I wanted more results so I made this thread.
Here's a thought experiment for y'all:
Assume they're making a Mario fighting game (as in, a proper fighter like Marvel vs. Capcom).
Assume the roster can only fit up to 28 fighters.
Assume the...
This is actually a re-post of a thread I made on the only Barcode Battler fan site in our universe. I got one of my Japanese-speaking friends to translate the six-page instruction manual to the Super Mario World game for the Barcode Battler II. It's a little underwhelming but at least...
Back in about 2013 or so I downloaded a whole bunch of manga scans from a blog that doesn't exist anymore, so I figured I'd upload them all to the web and share them here so I can spread them as far as possible. Finding exact information on these has been pretty difficult. All I know so far is...
Okay dorks, time for a Hurt 'n' Heal with BALLS.
This Hurt 'n' Heal will allow up to 30 users to duke it out and prove who is the mightiest, and it has advanced rules. If you can't keep up, you ain't gonna last. Friends may become enemies, enemies may become friends. There's no telling who will...
I really dreaded doing this thread, as this is game's very existence causes me endless frustration, but something's gotta be done about it...
Super Mario World
Release date: 1993, according to the game's flyer.
I of course speak of the mysterious redemption game by Fabtek. I've searched for...
I initially wasn't going to do this right away, but consider it a sort of 'breaking news' post.
Swanky no Bonus Slot
スワンキーのボーナススロット
Release date: I have no idea.
Remember this post in the Konami coverage thread where I pointed out a mysterious 'Super Donkey Kong 2' machine next to the Super...
So, continuing from my last thread about Banpresto, I decided to make a follow-up thread about Konami's amusement machines. There aren't as many, but for ease of organization I dedicated one thread to each company regardless.
Mario Roulette
マリオルーレット
Release date: 1991, per the game's title...
So I went on a mad quest to find information about two arcade units already covered on the wiki, and that led me to discovering even more. Sadly, all I could find was a handful of blogs with pics of the machines in the wild along with a few YouTube and NicoNico videos. Nevertheless I opted to...
The page for the SMA4 e-Reader cards links to this site, which I remember being about the only place one could see legible scans of all the Japanese cards. Unfortunately, it seems the site's been dead and apparently nobody's noticed. Does anybody know how long this has been like this, and did...
