Most, if not all, of the illustrations created by Kaz Aizawa for Nintendo and HAL between the late 1980s and early 1990s are set to be auctioned off.

I still get unreasonably annoyed that after everything Mario does to save Peach in SMB3… defeating countless enemies, traversing dangerous terrain full of monsters and pitfalls, conquering huge airships, etc, she has the audacity to crack a joke, laugh directly in Mario’s face and dip out. 😅

Just uploaded 4K gameplay for Sesame Street 123, released for the NES by Hi-Tech Expressions in 1989. Two educational games: Ernie's Magic Shapes and Astro Grover. According to past commenters, the disapproval of the moon when a mistake is made may have scarred a generation. youtu.be/ybowtKiPzes

A short episode of toco toco documenting Professor Sakamoto, a Japanese musician who wears a Famicom on his head and will play different music depending on which cartridge is inserted. Also features the game bar Ninety, which seems like a fantastic place.

Shatterhand is such a well-made, well-executed NES game I was surprised to learn it's a reskin of a licensed tokusatsu game that barely adheres to its source material.
Beyond the cheesy concept and 90s-awesome box art, it's a solid action platformer with fun ideas!

Just uploaded 4K gameplay for Danny Sullivan's Indy Heat, released for the NES by Tradewest in 1992. Like Super Off Road and Super Sprint, but where you have to pit for refueling and repairs. My car was sabotaged and caught fire. I accidentally ran over someone's pit crew. youtu.be/ya8s6JtVgGQ

absolute all time champ for this specific mechanic is Super Sprint. the steering wheels are so satisfying to spin and the cars are impossibly responsive. like steering a high DPS mouse cursor around. if you know what you're doing each lap takes like 6 deconds. really fun and hilarious with 3 players
