Pouring one out for the loss of another comrade.🫗

Oh yeah, I vaguely remember this series. Didn't realise it was a new entry.

Thanks for the read. Monolith will be missed, and their legacy will forever live on (atleast in my mind).

"So we had talked about sidescrollers, and there was a game called Jazz Jackrabbit that had just come out at Epic, which was a cool game and had an awesome soundtrack"

This bit I loved. Jazz Jackrabbit is one of my favorite 90s games ever, and yes its soundtrack is killer.

"Did you already know about Shinkai's past career in the video game industry?"

If you mean before the movies no, but if you mean by the time this article was published then yep. I looked him up shorthly after seeing "Your Name" for the first time back then.

Glad to hear he had a good time visiting his old job here.

Thats nice, its been a long time since I played these two. Wishlisting now.

Neat, I have seen a few video walkthorughs of this game before and have been wanting to try it myself.

If they wanted to make this anniversary truly memorable then they should work on buying the full rights of Ms. Pac-Man.

@slider1983 : Great minds think alike.👍

@HammerGalladeBro : Far as I can tell its a series of music albums for several of their classic titles…I think.

Thanks for the read. Hart sounds like a wonderful person and, like NinChocolate above said, its nice to read about positive experiences in the industry, especially in these worrying times.

This hits my 'cozy, relaxing' nerve just fine. I really wanna try this.

Wasn't aware til now that it got canned, thats a shame.😞 I will try the build later then.

Thanks for the review, I love me a good adventire game made in this style.

I have a lot of respect for this man and his work. Keep it up Terada-san!👌

I would like to hear it from Reno himself, but still this is good to know.

I liked Steel Assault so I will be checking this out.

If I was alive during the 80s (I was born during the 90s) and worked as an employe at Nintendo, I would have thrown a big 'calm' party at my house celebrating the anniversary.😋

This was honestly one of the most bizarre but still somewhat amusing 'gaming staff stories' articles I ever read, thanks!👌

I never watched the Darkstalkers cartoon so I can't comment on that.
Regarding the Street Fighter cartoon; tbh, even without the other (more superior) SF animations in mind, I always found this show to be one of the more weaker 90's cartoons back then.
Nowadays I mostly remember/watch it for the memes and the 'funny bad' bits.

🤣

@Tasuki : You are right, they did have a Final Fight-based episode.

So sad to hear.😞
I hope nobody was hurt.

Thanks for the read, I heard about Uchida before but didn't know much about him (other then his work on Altered Beast and Golden Axe) until now.

Somehow, I never even imagined the possibility of Lizardcube making a MS game until I read this. Now I wanna see it.

Who knows, maybe one day…

Another great man taken from us,😞 RiP David Lynch.
I need to re-watch Twin Peaks again.

Seriously? What a piece of shift.

Thats terrible to hear, I really hope the best for the museum and its recovery.

Sad. Truly tough times for game preservation everywhere.

I remember seeing this fan game at a previous SAGE event, looks fun. Will download the demo when I have the time.

Another 'too soon' loss of a legend.💔
RiP mister Brown.

How in the world did I miss this top-notch article?😅

Happy 30th anniversary SF '94 film!🎉
I remember feeling a long time ago how the movie was one of my "guilty pleasures" but I wouldn't admit it out loud, nowadays I'm proud to say its one of my absolute favorites, video game-related or otherwise.

One of my favorites is the "change the channel" moment with Zangief, I feel like thats one of the more underrated funny moments in the movie.

@KitsuneNight : I mean sure, that is obviously the case here but even that feels suspicious as Gioeli is known (atleast to most people within the Sonic community) as a chill guy, doing gigs for little to no compensation. I know that you could never be truly aware of people's true nature but for him to take up legal action like this so suddenly, and right before the Sonic 3 movie was released, is uncharacteristic of him.

But I wait until we hear something directly from Gioeli himself before fully forming an opinion.

There is something not right about this whole ordeal. I still find it hard to believe he's not been aware of the song's widespread use for over two decades until now, and the timing (right before the third Sonic movie's release) is a headscrather as well.

One of the best game collection series ever.

May he rest in peace. Thanks for all your hard work mister Kato.

Happy 30th anniversary King's Field. Thanks to both you and your creators for everything that you paved the way for.

Okami sequel and new Virtua Fighter title were the top highlights for me.👌

As for the Secret Level-based Pac-Man game (even though its been in development longer then the show from what I heard), can't say I'm a fan of it. Gives me strong Bomberman Act Zero vibes. Overall, its a "maybe" from me.

Funny, I just happened to go through the Mana series' Wikipedia articles, Secret of Mana included, a few hours ago.😄

SoM has one of the best gaming soundtracks period, god bless Hiroki Kikuta.

Not much of a surprising list, although the lack of Persona 5 is noticeable. Then again this is a relatively short list (I get that its limited to thirty games only because its the 30th anniversary but still), I can imagine the game is somewhere within the top 31-50 atleast.

Happy 30th anniversary NFS!🎈🎉

Not directly related to the topic but this (and the Star Trek comment by Maulbert) made me think a little of Takashi Iizuka and Shadow. I don't like how lizuka generally acts like he's been the sole creator of Shadow the whole time when there has been atleast three other people involved in the character's creation.

Nice sketches, all of them.

I still wish for an actual "Capcom vs. Osamu Tezuka characters" fighting game though...

I still enjoy Fujita’s work to this day. Have some fond memories of Tomba.^^

I know this isn't the first time HoTD gets the movie treatment but boy, another upcoming Sega IP-based live-action movie huh. How many does that make now, six? (not counting Sonic as that has already been an active thing for awhile now).
Can't they atleast try focusing on just one planned movie at a time?

In any case, HoTD is surely right up Anderson's alley considering his previous work. The real question is which role Jovovich will play this time lol.

C-C-C-C-Combo Breaker!!!

Happy 30th anniversary KI.🎉

I would buy this if I had the money...T.T

May he rest in peace, his artistic talent was incredible.
I didn't know he also made the Alien Soldier cover, thats awesome.

"Scarpone has bold plans for the company. "My sights are set on trying to compete with the best the Hollywood studios when it comes to managing IP..."

That right there just gives me the chills and not for good reasons.

@PopetheRev28 : I know which one you are referring to, but that was over 15 years ago and ArcSys has come a long way since then. Sure, not every single one of their current works today has been hits (looking at you DNF Dual) but they are still one of the better dev options imo.

If only Capcom would join forces with a outside developer in making a new DS game (I'm thinking ArcSys, among other possible options).

^^However impossible it is, I like to just imagine the possibility of the original timeline being continued in a new TR game.

So not only is a good underrated shmup series returning, we will (well we already are, as seen in the Twitter post image) see the lovely Mao Mao again? Score!
