As interesting and fun as the console ports of arcade games can be, none of those ports has truly replicated the arcade controls or aspect ratio of the original games, plus there are almost always other small or technical details that don't make the jump.
With Arcade Archives games, this gap is lessened or eliminated entirely, and the built-in options to allow you to rotate your display to best mimic the arcade experience and maximize the real estate of your Nintendo Switch, or even your TV if you're able to change its orientation! For those who want a simpler solution, an after-market stand like the HORI PlayStand will get you most of the way there.

#Sega #Genesis #FamicomDojoMycaruba! Play as Buddy in Out of This World Part II (Sega CD) | Pile of ShameFamicom Dojo2021-10-20 | After researching and reviewing Another World (aka Out of This World), Sean went out to find a copy of its bare-remembered sequel that he had only seen in person once in the '90s. Heart of the Alien was a Sega CD exclusive by Interplay, released without the involvement of the original Another World creator Eric Chahi.
Before Vinnk travelled back to Japan after his last visit, he and Sean played through as much of this disavowed sequel as time would allow. Stick around for a few impromptu cameos by Rebecca "Burger Becky" Heineman, who was gracious enough to provide some more background on the development of this unique title.

#Sega #PileOfShame #FamicomDojoAnother World: 20th Anniversary Edition vs. Out of This World for SNES | Future RetroFamicom Dojo2021-10-13 | Another World, also known as Out of This World or Outer World, was a game unique among its 16-bit peers in the early 1990s: a cinematic experience with amazing graphics and music on affordable consoles and computer platforms, and minimalist design to match, but with brutal consequences for failure. If you were like us, you were hooked and wanted more. If you’re not like us, then it enraged you, but here’s why you should keep playing it today.
Published by Delphine Software, Another World was developed by one person -- Eric Chahi -- with sound design provided by Jean-Francois Freitas. Together, over two years, they created a video game experience that has stood the test of time three decades and many consoles and online gaming services later.
We explore how the limitations of the '90s drove Chahi to create a game that made porting to contemporary computers and 16-bit game consoles possible, recount the exceptionally clever effort of Rebecca “Burger Becky” Heineman lead to the iconic SNES port, and how this all laid the groundwork for an HD glow-up that belied the extraordinary, indie-like effort to create. We also tackle the features that were included in, but also the ones notable missing from, the 20th Anniversary Edition that is itself 10 years old as of 2021.

#GameBoy #SuperFamicom #FamicomDojoThe not-so secret Nintendo origins of Strong BadFamicom Dojo2020-12-03 | In the 1990s and 2000s, Homestar Runner was a Flash animation phenomenon which came up with other Flash-based media like Newgrounds, there at the creation of The Old Memes. The breakout character proved to be Strong Bad, a lucha libre wrestler (who also wears boxing gloves for some reason?) who answers emails in his Strong Bad Email segment, which would frequently go quickly off the rails into memorable new adventures. But just how did Strong Bad come to be?
Vinnk (with an unwitting Sean in tow) takes us on a journey back to the days of the NES and Famicom, and two games which directly and indirectly inspired the course that Homestar Runner would take: Tag Team Wrestling by Technos, famous for its Kunio-kun series including River City Ransom, and Pro Wrestling by Nintendo R&D3.
We here at Famicom Dojo would be remiss if we didn't mention how much the humor and style of Homestar Runner influenced this very show. In retrospect, a lot about the Sbemail format applies to our Denshimail videos as well -- ostensibly answering actual viewer mail, but go completely off in another direction in doing so. The fact that Strong Bad was influenced by video games from the same era as our primary focus was one of those things we just assumed everyone knew. Well, now we can cross over again in a more direct capacity!
Thanks, of course, to Mike and Matt Chapman for creating such wonderful and enduring characters and cartoons. The world is a brighter place because of you and all your cohorts!

#StrongBad #Famicom #FamicomDojoThe origin of T-spins with Tetris 2 + BomBliss for FamicomFamicom Dojo2020-11-26 | Kind of like third Superman (or second Spider-man) films, there have been multiple games named Tetris 2. This version, developed by Chunsoft and published by Bullet-Proof Software -- which went on to shepherd much of the subsequent Tetris franchise -- is the second game to bear the moniker since 1990.
Of particular interest to us is the BPS rotation system (short for Bullet-Proof Software), progenitor to the SRS system that makes T-spins possible. We embark on a journey to find out what tricks are possible in this version compared to subsequent entries.

#PowerPad #RetroGaming #FamicomDojoThe Three Fates of Bethany - How to save Hawke’s sister in Dragon Age 2 | Future RetroFamicom Dojo2020-10-28 | Before going into the Deep Roads to hunt for fame and fortune, you (as Hawke) have a big decision to make: whether or not to take your only surviving sibling with you. If you started Dragon Age II as a warrior or rogue, then Bethany is the one who will survive the journey to Kirkwall to face the consequences of this fateful decision.
This review covers the three possible outcomes of that decision, but we leave it up to you to decide which you would most prefer to follow. And if you're able to import your save into Dragon Age: Inquisition, then you'll even hear about her fate post-game from Varric and/or Hawke directly.
Otherwise, if you choose a mage at the outset, Bethany will instead get squished by an ogre, leaving you with Carver. And nobody wants that.

#DragonAge #FutureRetroHow to beat MYST in just five minutesFamicom Dojo2020-10-14 | Many puzzles in Myst require reading, investigation, and critical thinking to solve, and cannot be guessed through brute force. However, the design of the final puzzle doesn't require playing much of the game to complete once you know the answer. As a result, it's possible to complete Myst in under five minutes without ever visiting any of the other ages simply by remembering the three of the solutions.
In this video, we'll show you the answers to those puzzles, and a handful of the versions of this game where it works -- which, at this point, is all of them. But, more importantly, we'll discuss that while this is mechanically possible to do, it doesn't detract from the wonder and design of the game, nor diminish the experience of playing it.

#MYST #NintendoSwitch #FamicomDojoUncancelled - Star Fox 2 on SNES Classic Edition | Future RetroFamicom Dojo2020-09-23 | Star Fox 2 was a game that lived in rumors, and some ill-gotten ROMs, for decades before it became the flagship title for the SNES Classic Edition mini console. With its subsequent release on Nintendo Switch Online, gamers today can re-live this piece of video game history on contemporary hardware.
We review the game on its merits nearly 25 years after it should have been originally released, noting the elements lifted and reworked for Star Fox 64 less than a year later. With gameplay and a story so wildly different from the original, did Nintendo get cold feet as their 16-bit era dominance was coming to an end, or were there other factors at play?

#ImportGaming #RetroGames #FamicomDojoHow to open the Meltan Mystery Box, and evolve Melmetal without walking 5000 milesFamicom Dojo2019-06-26 | In Pokemon GO, Meltan's bonkers requirements to get 400 candies to evolve into Melmetal, and 20 km of walking are utterly insurmountable even for the most die-hard Pokemon trainer. There's just no way to do it without catching more in the wild.
What kind of free-to-play game doesn't let you buy your way out level grinding? The kind that connects with Pokemon Let's Go, Eevee and Pickachu on the Nintendo Switch! We'll show you what you have to do to get a free Mystery Box every few days to catch more Meltan, and transfer your favorites between games.
Disclaimer: All of this information was correct as of the original publish date (2019/06/26), but Niantic is always updating Pokemon GO. In fact, during the time it took to make this video, they already changed one of the stats described. We caught it, but inevitably there will be more changes that will render one or more "facts" either incorrect or irrelevant.
Making videos about always-online, downloadable-only games is rife with such peril, but this topic was too fascinating not to share. Also, the lame punny joke at the end is totally worth it.

Plus, Nintendo "fixes" a big problem with one of the game's manuals in digital form!
