(Uploads in June 2025) Below picture shows all of the consoles that we've archived atleast three titles for. Other consoles we focused on this month are: Neo Geo CD (+1), Neo Geo (+2), Xbox 360 (+1), Dreamcast (+1), Game Boy (+2), PlayStation 5 (+1), Commodore 64 (+1), Game Boy Color (+1), Xbox Series X/S (+1), Wii (+2), Saturn (+1), Nintendo Switch (+2), Genesis (+1)
June was a big and eventful month! We finally got the release of the Nintendo Switch 2 and Spazbo was able to pick one up on the very first day which led us to posting Mario Kart World and the Welcome Tour at record speed and almost faster than any other channel. It didn't stop there though, as we also learned that the NS2 has improved quite a few NS1 titles by giving them a higher resolution and more stable frame rates. One such title is Mario Odyssey, which was never completed for the channel prior due to how big of a project it'd be (we're talking ALL moons!), but Spazbo figured that now was the perfect opportunity to finally tackle it. Whilst I haven't looked, I wouldn't be surprised if we're the first channel to have a full longplay of Odyssey in the new upgraded quality. The original NS1 version will be tackled some day too, but I'm going to give this upload some time to shine first.
We've had some more first party Nintendo titles posted this month, one of which being Donkey Kong 3 for the GBC recorded by KAGE but also the very impressive upload of Kirby and the Forgotten Land recorded by SpectreBull. If you haven't checked out any of these, please do so! We can really use your help with the algorithm on these. Our Nintendo content doesn't get the same views it used to because of all the newer channels milking the living hell out of these titles now lol. It sucks because we need that exposure to help balance out all of the more obscure and unknown content we cover!
Speaking of which, I've made the bold decision this morning to put no longer pursue the goal of finishing the Nintendo 64 library by the end of the year. After starting up Hamster Monogatari 64 and learning that it's yet another JP-exclusive game with a ridiculous end game, silly RPG elements and almost no online coverage, I realized that I'm not only my worst enemy playing games I really don't enjoy, I also don't think it's doing the channel any good. These tediously long and exhausting projects not only don't seem to be cared for, they also take time away from me being able to play more exciting stuff such as Wii games.
Moving forward with that, I still want to play a few more Nintendo 64 games that aren't too bothersome and I will also obviously finish the 150h upload of Super Robot Wars 64 (which is completely demonetized btw), but for now I think we're just gonna have to settle with the goal of completing all western N64 games, which we're only three titles short of. In the meantime, I'm trying to message some Japanese youtubers and offer them a cash prize if they're able to help us record any of the games that are currently missing, but this is often a complete shot in the dark so don't expect those videos to appear here any time soon.
So with Nintendo 64 not being the next library to be completed, which one will it be!? :D We hit a nice milestone with Game Gear this month in which we hit the halfway mark (183/366) but we're also officially the largest library of full Game Gear gameplays (atleast from what I've been able to find). I'm not saying Game Gear will be the next library, but it very well could be. We'll probably be slowing down the uploads on that console a bit now though as I mentioned I was only putting focus towards that as my life was occupied with wedding arrangements and whatnot (a complete success btw!).
Whilst my eyes are focused on Wii right now, what is a console you'd like to see more focus towards?
Anyway, wrapping up! Let's see what July will bring. Also, little side note: if you're Japanese speaking and you wish to help out with some of the remaining N64 games, please reach out! Same for anybody else who's eager to help contribute to the channel because we have space for another member currently!
