I bought a VCD of Pulp Fiction for no good reason. Anything with a NTSC signal displays in black and white on my smaller CRT. I’ll have to try the bigger one later.

While I’ll play the demo, I’m also mildly aware that DQXI is on my backlog and I have DQVII Remake on 3DS just sitting here.
The Dragon Quest VII Reimagined demo is now available on PS5, Xbox (Play Anywhere), Nintendo Switch 2, and Nintendo Switch. Save data carries over into the full game: www.rpgsite.net/news/19299-d...

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Hooktail eats 8 Toads to recover health. The game ensures these sacrificial Toads always stay in order to be eaten in the end. They are Mario's biggest fans, will always show up, and no action can make them leave.

Bass Rush Dream: EcoGear PowerWorm Championship released 25 years ago! (12/21/00)
Unlike SEGA BASS FISHING, which is a frenetic, fast-paced Arcade Action-Game, disguised as a Fishing-Game, Bass Rush Dream is a Simulator, which means it's slow, tedious, and kinda boring.
Play Sega Bass Fishing.

It's the Christmas issue of Famitsu, so that means many Japanese gaming industry folks gave their personal Game of the Year lists. I'll update this thread periodically since there's a lot of them once again.
