Two home ports of were planned: the PC Engine version was to be easier with the monk getting a hat to represent remaining health and a familiar guest character...!

The second change was the player designs: seeing the trend for cute characters to attract female players to arcades, Kaido-san went for bigger heads and smaller bodies, a la Bubble Bobble

Can I just say how cool it is that arcade Sunset Riders exists on Switch?

Uno de mis juegos favoritos, The New Zealand Story, acaba de llegar a la colección de @HAMSTER_Corp, así que el directo de esta tarde irá de verme disfrutar y sufrir (a partes iguales) con esta obra maestra de Taito.

Now that I’ve finished my slog through Intellivision sports games of 1980 (I’m sure they’re a lot of fun in multiplayer) I can reward myself by starting on… games of 1980! This means breaking out my collection of overpriced mini arcade cabinets and now-retro-themselves compilations, along with the odd entry from Hamster’s series on Switch.

From Moon Cresta in February to mega-hit Pac-Man in July, ending with the likes of Phoenix in December – let’s go!

Saddened that 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘷𝘦𝘭 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘥 was released in Japan only, with no indication when or even if it's coming out elsewhere. This is literally the first time they've done this on the Switch*, and I hope it isn't about to set a new precedent.

*To be fair, 𝘌𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘊𝘪𝘵𝘺: 1931 is when the streak was broken - that was released stateside a week late, alongside the regularly scheduled game that week. But there's no indication that's happening again here.

They did update Arcade Archives Tetris The Grand Master earlier today, hopefully fixing the freezing/glitching bug the Switch version had. So far, no problems.

"TETRIS?! Peace out."

Weird glitch in TGM. The game was apparently still playing, but not updating the playfield. Not shown, due to the framerate of clips off a Switch: the solid-color squares briefly seen at the bottom where I'd cleared away the blocks were flashing on and off every frame.

Thanks to @yordansic for explaining how to get Switch clips off the Switch to get them here. They had a similar bug in the same game...

I don’t even know what happened. I guess the game was fed up with me playing so poorly, it decided to implode.
