Live now! Checking out how well I can stream from the AYN Thor! Will be playing some JP Game Boy Games, and whatever else I want to try! Twitch: twitch.tv/retrobreak_l...
Going to try streaming StarFox! Think of this as a soft restart for streaming! I’ve been fixing a bunch of things and sorting out the cables so hopefully everything works ok! Live now on Twitch: twitch.tv/retrobreak_l...
Exciting weekend ahead! Going to Freeplay City in the day, then a creators event in the evening, then the London gaming market on Sunday! Loved visiting Freeplay last time I was in London, it’s an amazing place! Will be some much needed fun (and retail therapy) after a stressful week at work!
Got a new Miku figure, some games and music from JPFans! They are sponsoring the channel and genuinely a great shopping experience! Here’s my affiliate link if you want to check out what they do! 😁 m.jpfans.com/register/?re...
Picked this up at DoKomi! It’s made in the same engine as the GBACastlevania games!
Nice! Love the Atelier games! I played Sophie 1 & 2 recently and finally checking out the Ryza series! This is emulating the Switch game, but I might try the steam version to see if it can run at 60fps instead.. I also picked up the Ryza series soundtrack in Dokomi too, the music is sooo good! 🥰
So impressed with the AYN Thor, it’s the ultimate console imo. Can play everything I could ever want, in a nice compact design. Took it with me to DoKomi and it was so nice to be able to choose any game from any system and not think about settings, everything so far has just worked flawlessly!
Someone just asked for some advice starting a YouTube channel. Thought it might also help some of you here too! Good luck to any content creators starting out! It’s daunting, but hugely rewarding 😁
Tomorrow. 7:30pm BST. ROBOTREK. twitch.tv/retrobreak_l... Be there for another great RPG from ENIX!
Had a great day at the London Gaming Market as always! Met lots of people who watch the channel, and got some amazing pickups too! Can’t wait to share on video!
Checked out FreePlayCity in London today, what an awesome place! So many rhythm games, and lots of other cabinets too, much bigger than I expected it to be! So happy to see Project Diva there too!
Happy Birthday to meeee! 😁 In London this weekend for the Gaming Market! Love that the first one of the year always lines up with my Birthday!
Good post today! This is Arcturus, the last big South Korean offline RPG, by the team that later made Ragnarok Online. This particular DVD release in Japan by Falcom is important because it’s been fan translated and the patch only works with the DVD. Korean gaming history is fascinating!
After years of patiently waiting for a good listing on eBay, I finally have a Bandai Digi Casse!
Thank you all soooo much for all the lovely comments already! 😭 It’s great to be back!
One strange difference, on the new one they’ve changed the front so it’s closer to your face, you can feel the plastic against your nose, but on the original it’s flat and you can’t feel it.
Welcome back Virtual boy! The new shell is very similar! Just lighter and the dials don’t move. If anyone wants to know about the games, I did a video ranking all of them a few weeks ago! youtu.be/tGhUhlBZ_Xs?...
