What’s Next? A 3DO X WonderSwan?

Taking a quick break from SHIN REVIVAL OF THE FORT90 DOT COM WEBSITE REBUILD PROJECT COMMITTEE ANNOUNCE CLUB, PLUS ALPHA, FOR MATCHING SERVICE. It’s now back to our regularly scheduled programming! Translation: the following was supposed to go up a while ago, after my recap of Comics vs Games 2, which was originally scheduled to be up last weekend.

But that’s when this year’s New York Asian Film Festival screeners arrived, which has kept me busy ever since. So, expect this place to go quiet again, but only until the end of the month, which is when my NYAFF 2014 coverage begins! Though until then, what’s good on YouTube these days?

- Got not just one, but TWO wacky game mods to share. First is the Sega Fusion, which is the Genesis, Sega CD, and 3X, crammed into a Sega Saturn. Sounds neat, right? Problem is, the Saturn’s casing doesn’t provide quite enough room:

- But next is something even wackier: a GameCube shoved into an Atari Lynx’s housing (thanks for the heads up Jason):

- Back to the Saturn; I consider myself a hardcore fan of the system, and am therefore fairly familiar with its library, even all the stuff that never made it out of Japan. But Elan Doree is TOTALLY news to me:

- Now THIS is the Watch Dogs I want to play:

- Until Nintendo formally teams up with Hasbro to produce Super Mario Transformers (which is only a matter of time), there’s: Bluster & Trench, the Techno Toon Titans:

- Speaking of, and via Tiny Cart, comes something I know is old news, but I’m still blown away by it, so whateves: almost 30 years later and yet a brand new 1UP trick has just been discovered. Amazing:

- Via Kotaku comes an fictitious E3 presser done via Tomodachi Life that is fairly funny, except for those who have been waiting for Half-Life 3 of course:

- But yeah, was also originally going to do a game related vid dump last week, to highlight my favorite bits of E3 2014. Though pretty much nothing stood out. Am kinda glad I didn’t go this year, especially since the best bits came from Nintendo, and all their stuff steamed online.

I will say my absolute favorite part was how, due to the abundance of impossible to discern shoot ‘em up bang bang games that largely comprised Microsoft’s presser, everyone was looking forward the obligatory indie gaming sizzle reel. But MS decided to show everything in 0.5 second doses, so that too was a confusing mess. Yet, one game did manage to stick out, mostly cuz it looked like an old Fleischer cartoon.

Am not going to bother posting the trailer, since enough people noticed that it got plenty of play (but for those who missed it, here’s the trailer to Cuphead). Instead, am going to highlight was what easily my pick of game of the show, which was completely dismissed by pretty much everyone, due to it being an exercise game. But one that looks like a Japanese variety show in your living room! I speak of Shape Up:

… Also, everyone says I look like that from Ubisoft San Francisco. I can see the resemblance.
