Just a 🇩🇰 Danish retro game enthusiast and novice translation romhacker
Pinned
I just realized that between December 1st and January 1st, I uploaded no less than 15 #Danish translation #romhacks To RomHackPlaza!

Meaning there are now 1,500% more #NES games available to enjoy in Danish than before!

Still the best Kart racer of its generation.

And that AMAZING, timeless soundtrack!

That ridiculously cruel & intimating Wizpig showoff still evokes all or my childhood PTSD to this day xD

I never was able to beat him

#Timesplitters 2 & Future Perfect has always been among my most beloved FPS games of the 2000s.
They were basically spiritual sequels to Goldeneye & Perfect Dark

"Timesplitters Rewind"
Is a new, lovingly crafted remake

If you've also been feeling that craving for a that new #Starfox game for ages that #Nintendo refuses to give us,

Then you should check out:

"Wild Blue Skies"
by @chuhailabs.com

A spiritual successor to everyone's favorite space #furry shooters series

As if seeing Super Mario 64 running on #PS1 yesterday wasn't bamboozling enough

Today, "Frogbull" on Youtube uploaded a tech demo of #Spyro running on #N64 hardware

This is some parallel universe stuff

"Udo Kier"
Best known in the world of #gaming for his iconic role as "Uri" in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2
Has sadly passed away at the age of 81.

His legacy, immortalized shall prevail for generations tho.

All hail Yuri!

I'm telling you,
#FinalFantasy Tactics is just such a treasure trove of great quotable lines

Some of these pack a lot of heavy but very, topical and relevant truths to them too.

It's finally here.
Geometry Dash, the classic, rhythm-based, and highly addictive autoscroller, is here
This time, it's on the #NES!

"Famidash"

I would argue, this is even better than the original

What a wonderful night to have a curse!

"Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest"
ported and running natively on the #SNES!
The latest NEStoSNES release by @rumbleminze.bsky.social

Based on the already excellent "Re-Translated" #NES #romhack by "Bisqwit"

You know what everyone loves?
That's right. #Duke3D!

But you know what is also really awesome?
Voxels!
Combine them, and you'll get

"Voxel Duke Nukem 3D"

Where all 2D sprite assets have been replaced with 3D voxel recreations

I found this delightful little action-adventure game earlier today and wanted to share

"Spindle"
By Wobble Ghost

You can probably tell that this game is heavily inspired by #zelda, where you go through dungeons, acquire new tools and items, and beat elaborate boss battles

"The 8-Bit Guy" over on YouTube looks to be working on a new #homebrew project for the #VIC20.
This one will be a falling-block puzzle-type game

"Quarx"

This here is something I've always hoped we'd see some day.
Super Mario 64 on #PS1

Even in this early state, this looks & plays pretty much exactly how you'd expect SM64 to.

This is both exceptionally impressive and a bit sacrilegious

The Smiling Friends is just such an acid trip of a show.

And I do love whenever they just drop in little #retro video game references like this one xD

Kameo: Elements of Power was actually the game that made me want to pick up a Xbox 360, day one

I remember in 2001, I picked up this magazine that came with a promotional VHS with footage of Kameo, back when it was still in development for GameCube.
I thought it looked so cool.

The #Xbox 360 is turning 20 years old today
And I don't think my brain really knows how to cope with this information...

The passage of time is a gruesome mistress.

Keep an eye out for @kaimangames.bsky.social and their upcoming #Gameboy Color #homebrew on @kickstarter.com

"Skateland Adventure"

Looks to be a fun little platformer that drawing inspiration from Adventure Island while still bringing some originality to the table

Looks like the "My Nintendo" store has something new available
You can get these for 400 Platinum coins, each
If you still have some lying around

At this point, it's been months since they last added anything to the store.
Was starting to think it had been abandoned xD

I've seen a lot of videos lately,
showing off the #Analogue3D and its impressive "Unleashed" mode that can boost performance in some games

One game I would love to see covered is Vigilante 8 and its MAX_RESOLUTION cheat code, which enables 640x480 but tanks the framerate

If you're ever feeling useless or superfluous

Just remember,
Someone thought the Terminator Salvation game needed a strategy guide.

Not really a "new" #homebrew, but a rather interesting one, technically.

"Arkagis Escape"
For the #Sega Genesis

You pilot a driller mech in first-person, through a world presented with voxel-like graphics.

An attached Sega-CD can even boost performance

I just couldn't resist picking up these #Danish, #Christmas cookies from the store today
As they contained my one (of many) weakness.
Chocolate!

For now tho, they'll be going into the pantry for safekeeping (from myself) until the yuletide is truly upon us :3
