YouTube video by JonLeung1

Here's my unboxing and review of Beyond Shadowgate for the PC!
(Note that this is not the same as the 1993 Turbo Grafx CD game of the same name.)
It's a sequel to the NES version, and looks and plays just like it!

New LEGO Zelda!
Come on, I'm still behind on my LEGO building, and I'm trying to save money!
Can't really complain, I guess...
But it's funny to reveal this so soon after the LEGO Pokémon... maybe they wanted to show off something less expensive to make people forget about the pricey Pokémon...

Can we get a lip reader on this classic Killer Instinct (Super NES) commercial?
To me, it looks like the first censored sentence is actually just "Holy COW!" and the last one is "What the CRAP!?", but I'm curious as to what else is actually being said.

My 2025 Nintendo Year In Review!
(Probably can't expect to get my numbers much higher than 50-60 hours a month since I mostly only play games when I'm on the treadmill for 1½ hours every morning before breakfast.)

The news that The Disney Afternoon Collection is finally coming to the Switch and Switch 2 is good, I guess, but after all this time, why not add to it, like have an update to add the Game Boy games?

I just received the "Hand-Drawn Game Guides" book on Mega Man, by @heyphilsummers.bsky.social!
It came with all these goodies!
We should support efforts like this. There's a real charm to hand-drawn guides!
(I know that seems ironic coming from me, who runs VGMaps, full of screenshot maps...)

Saturday morning! Since you all like the clip I posted last week of "Mega Trouble For Megaland", the fifth episode of Captain N: The Game Master, here's a later clip where the Robot Master rematch happens at "Dr. Wily's secret command center". Mega Man is even more useless...

Thanks to the work of preservationists like @rockmancosmo.bsky.social, we can all play Mega Man (or rather, Rockman) games that were exclusively released on Japanese mobile devices, that might otherwise be lost to time.

In Alien Storm, the food truck in the demo/opening says "WELCOME TO...", and you can change where it's welcoming gamers to!
Press "Service Mode" ([F2] by default in MAME), then "Service 1" ([9] by default) until you get to "YOUR STORE NAME".
Then change it to whatever you want!

VGMaps.com currently has 48,189 maps across 57 different platforms (consoles, handhelds, computers, mobiles, and the arcade).
That's a pretty big atlas, eh?
The most popular platform is the NES, with 8287 maps, which is 17.2% of all the maps we have.
We can expect to get our 50,000th map in 2026.

I don't think anyone ever compares Final Fantasy with Commander Keen, but... has anyone noticed that in both series, the FIRST, FOURTH, and SIXTH games are the ones that are the most talked about, by far?
(And I threw Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest & Keen Dreams in here, just because.)
