Just realized it's been 10 years since I first booted up the lost NeoGeo game DarkSeed (Dragon's Heaven).

There were some challenges to get it working and EPROM data labeled it as Voltage Fighter, so I wasn't super eager to get it running.

After realizing the cards were mislabeled, it booted.

Mario & Wario gets its first western release ever today thanks to NSO! Developed by Game Freak and directed by Satoshi Tajiri of Pokemon fame, you use the mouse to guide Mario to the goal while dodging obstacles. This has been one of my most anticipated NSO releases so I’m glad it’s finally here!

Quick update on my Virtual Boy Switch adapter. It now has a backpack that adds the extra Switch buttons. Nearly complete, just need to fix the code a bit.

Apologies for the blurry Switch screen.
