After 10 months of on and off work it is finally here; episode 1 of my new mini series "Kusoge Analysis"!

In this first episode I look into the origins of kusoge and try to figure out who did it first.

Thanks to everyone that joined the stream! Another bloody good time playing Shinobi. Hopefully we can polish it off next Friday.

Remember no stream on Sunday so I'll see you on Tuesday for more Super Mario Bros. 2.

Did I mention how good the new Shinobi is? Well come watch it in action!

I have purchased a new hat. You guys aren't ready for this one.

GameGaijin @gamegaijin.bsky.social · 1d

I know, I'll have a quick break and plan out a short.

I appear to have found so much info that this needs to be its own video...

...

Why does this keep happening to me?!?

Thanks to everyone that joined the stream! It seems Super Mario Bros. 2 is a new layer of hell for me to try and conquer. I'm willing to put the effort in but man does it get under my skin.

See you all on Friday for more of that sweet new Shinobi game.

Look at my boy working real hard.

Keep at it man! I love your work and appreciate the time and effort you put in.

GameGaijin @gamegaijin.bsky.social · 4d

Man, I killed it today on video progress. Translated a good couple of pages of the article and wrote a few pages for the actual "game review" part.

If I keep this up it might actually come out by self imposed my deadline.

GameGaijin @gamegaijin.bsky.social · 4d

Get well soon man. Cold season is a bugger.

GameGaijin @gamegaijin.bsky.social · 5d

Thanks to everyone that joined the stream! I had a blast playing all those Master System games. They look so good through RGB SCART, it surprises me every time.

See you Tuesday for more Super Mario Bros. 2, hopefully with real hardware!

GameGaijin @gamegaijin.bsky.social · 5d

Forgot the picture. Look I bust the tower out!

Time to play that system more people should love: the Master System. Kicking things off with Psycho Fox; Kid Kool but if he was a furry.

Not sure what to stream today. I feel like I had a million and one things to play but I'm suffering from decision paralysis today.

What do you guys wanna see?

GameGaijin @gamegaijin.bsky.social · 7d

Oh and of course thanks to everyone that joined the stream. Guess I was too excited about Shinobi to remember that part '^^

GameGaijin @gamegaijin.bsky.social · 7d

The new Shinobi game kicks ass! It knocks it out of the park on every front: animation, art style, music, SFX...and the combat, my God. Even basic combos make you feel like an absolute badass.

But, no more of that until next Friday. On Sunday I'm gonna play...something retro...undecided on what...

GameGaijin @gamegaijin.bsky.social · 7d

Time to play the new Shinobi game!

Magazine #2 is pure gold. Taking a break for today but tomorrow I'm coming at this thing swinging!

GameGaijin @gamegaijin.bsky.social · 8d

Bloody good job that other article is in this mag because the article I wanted to read was a complete bust...

Come on magazine #2! I believe your 7 page interview will have something useful.

Working on some translation today and one of the magazines I picked up just so happens to have an article about something else I want to cover in the future.

Coincidences are cool.
