(Uploads in July 2025) Below picture shows all of the consoles that we've archived atleast three titles for. Other consoles we focused on this month are: TurboGrafx-16 (+2), Xbox (+1), Xbox 360 (+1), Xbox Series S/X (+1), Switch (+1), PlayStation 2 (+1), PlayStation 4 (+1), Game Boy Advance (+1), NES (+2), SNES (+2), Saturn (+1)
The Wii has made a return! As previously mentioned, I want to shift focus away from Nintendo 64 and start putting out more Wii content again. Not only has this been incredibly more enjoyable for me, I noticed that the reception of the Wii titles is also much more positive. Better yet, the Wii library doesn't have many videos that need re-uploading to meet our quality standards. I've already been chipping away at some of it, and plan to have all illegitimate uploads fixed before this years end.
Things are a little different for the GameCube, as there's still loads of games that could use a re-recording. The good news is that the work is going at a healthy pace and thanks to the positive reception I've been very motivated to record more. Overall, July has just been a very fun month for me in regards to the channel. Our numbers have been doing well and I think we've been uploading a lot of cool content which I'll get more into soon.
Game Gear continues to be a go-to for us, and we're probably hitting the 200 mark this August. These uploads have basically been used to fill in the gaps on our schedule, similarly with the Neo Geo content. Whilst there's still loads of unplayed games ready to sustain us for a while, we'd love to find new team members for the channel who can help us out chipping away at other consoles. If you're already familiar with making this type of content and can meet a monthly upload quota, reach out to me as we'd love to bring you onboard!
Furthermore, I want to give some spotlight to some big uploads we've seen go live this month. Spazbo is good at making it seem like his submissions are effortless, but getting Death Stranding 2 recorded for our channel just a month after it's release is yet again an impressive feat to me. We now have all three of the Death Stranding releases posted. I personally couldn't last an hour in these games, he managed thirty, three times.
Next up, that RPG poll you guys voted on two months ago? Xenogears for the PlayStation won that poll and Nikodem submitted the 46 hour longplay of it about a week ago! If you think that's long, keep in mind that all of the grinding segments were edited out. It really helps knowing Nikodem is familiar with most of these lengthy RPG's he does for the channel, as the longplays always end up in a very organized format with all of the important side content included. Xenogears is definitely one of those titles that still gets looked up today, and it's good to have a high quality longplay video of it archived on the platform now.
Thirdly, I was blown away by the final upload this month done by SpectreBull. I know he had been working on "Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii" for a while, but I didn't know it was going to be so packed with content. The 43 hour longplay split over four parts features some of the most organized timecodes and formatting I've seen and the whole thing just game out as a masterpiece. Better yet, none of it came out copyrighted (thanks SEGA) so there's probably going to be some more Yakuza coverage popping up on here. Anyway, our video seems to be the only upload actually covering the "full game", contrary to what the other videos online claim. We plan on doing the same with the other Yakuza entries.
Lastly, I want to quickfire some other good uploads this month incase you missed them: Call of Duty: World at War (for both X360/PS3 as well as NDS), Split Fiction, PokePark 2, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, MadWorld, Men in Black: Alien Crisis, an 8h upload of UNO (too special to brush over), Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion XL and GameCube re-recordings of Pac-Man World 3 as well as I-Ninja (in widescreen now!).
As always, thank you for reading! If you want to stay closer up to date with our progress, you can check out our live spreadsheets at sheets.longplayarchive.com
