It's , so here's my favorite Donkey Kong Country song out of any I've heard (and one of my top favorite pieces of music in any video game, EVER) - a fully restored version of 'Mining Melancholy'. Check out those choral voices!

@nxadm @BeAware wow this post has drawn in some really good hypotheticals. Nxadm has given me some interesting POVs I wouldn't have considered.

@chris @OutofPrintArchive On the arcade, that's quite hard. The level that has me almost rage quitting everytime in the arcade is when the T1000 in the helicopter is attacking the heroes in the SWAT van. I swear it's pot luck if you make it through or not.

Favourite pixelated game....GO❗️

And when you're done, be sure to check out FFDOT., a love letter to the incredible pixel art found in the first 6 entries of the series. ♥️📚

@bookstodon

The image is a minimalist representation of the title "FF DOT" using pixel art, which evokes the style of early video game graphics. This is a reference to "Final Fantasy," as indicated by the text at the bottom of the image: "The Pixel Art of FINAL FANTASY." Below the pixelated "FF DOT" letters, there are four small, colorful pixel art characters and objects. These are typical of the visual style found in the early "Final Fantasy" games, which were known for their 8-bit and 16-bit graphics. The characters and objects depicted are iconic elements or characters from the "Final Fantasy" series, such as a Mog, a chocobo, a Cactuar, and an airship, all rendered in the charming and nostalgic pixel art style. This image suggests that the content is related to the "Final Fantasy" video game series and may be a book or another form of media celebrating the art and design of the games, particularly focusing on the pixel art that has become synonymous with the series' early entries.

    What's your favourite #BreathOfFire game❓

    The Official Complete Works immerses you in the breathtaking artwork of this iconic RPG through its characters and world.

    The cover features 5 versions of Ryu, the main protagonist in a dynamic pose, suggesting they are ready for adventure or action. Each version has unique attire and hairstyles, but alwways with blue hair. Their clothing is inspired by classic fantasy or RPG (Role-Playing Game) elements, with capes, belts, boots, and other accessories that are typical in such games. One version prominently holds a staff, while another has a bright smile and confident pose, the character to the right seems more serious and contemplative, and the one in the back has a protective stance. The title "Breath of Fire" is displayed at the top in a stylized font that fits the fantasy setting of the games. Below the main title, "OFFICIAL COMPLETE WORKS" suggests that this publication is an authoritative source of information and artwork on the series. At the bottom right corner, there is a logo reading "UDON," which is the name of the company that published this art book.

    @bookstodon @thevglibrary Three for nostalgia is one of my favourite of the series, but after playing it later in life I quite enjoyed playing Four a lot. Felt it improved on the previous game in some ways

    So far I'm quite impressed with and the wide array of ideas, both from a narrative and a mechanical point of view, this game is displaying in the just two hours I've been playing. And all of that is accompanied by absolutely gorgeous visuals, some of the best I've seen in a game...

    I can't wait to see what else this game has to offer!!

    I've stumbled upon this side-by-side comparison of the original on the SNES and the remake for modern consoles using the Second Departure engine and someone should go to jail for this. The "remake" looks absolutely terrible in comparison with the original game!

    The full video is here: https://piped.video/watch?v=Ci1n7EILPj0

    Side to side comparison of SNES and PS5 versions of Star Ocean. The SNES one shows an extremely detailed pixel art style where you can appreciate the bricks in the road, the grass, flowers, buildings cast shadows... The PS5 is a blocky mess, with some extremely generic grass and a handful of blocky 3D houses. WTF.

    @chris At least they added the QoL improvements, and maybe even explained the skills, abilities, and talents a little bit better? So far I know they do cost money but I have no idea how or when to use them, so I guess I'll have to dig around the internet for a while to figure it out 🤣😅

    Here at home we've ended up with three Switches, one for each adult and a shared one between the kids... We're a very gamer family 🤣
