Here's my latest video review, this time it's the turn of Battle Garegga. Best viewed in 720p naturally.

NOTE: This is captured directly from my Saturn. No poncy emulation here, no sir!

Not retro but still a very interesting game, Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon on the Wii:

I love the witty jokes you throw in your videos, and the way you move alone quickly after after dropping one, as if you think they're sad or something!

Which controller are you using for your emulators?

It sounds like a noisey arcade stick or something!

Cheers mate :)Half the time I'm concentrating so much on whatever the game is that I've no idea what I'm saying , so if any of its getting a laugh I'm happy.
I've been trying to record audio 'live' as much as I can ,as opposed to rerecording it after as commentary.(narrating it is the slicker more polished and to be honest , sane way of doing it , but I really like people hearing exactly what I'm thinking as I play..its a bugger to do though )
the joystick is a hori fighting stick 3 , its a great stick but damn noisy as hell , really must change it , and oil the joints in my desk chair as well , thats nearly as loud!

Perfeck soundtrack man....

Of course, when the nerd in me hears a waltz I kinda expect to see something docking with something else....

Are you like one of those Christian Evangelists, but for Darius?

"Hmm, that was a lovely dinner, the crisp layer on the Creme Brulee was just exquiste, reminds me a bit of Darius Blast...."

Not retro, but retro styled, a review of Retro Game Challenge for the DS. One of the best games on the system and a love letter to the Famicom. It's actually a licensed game of GameCenter CX, the excellent japanese videogame show that I definitely didn't discover and Sera takes all credit for:

Please don't get rid of the clicky joystick!

I think it gives the videos a bit of chracter!

And it also re-enforces the live experience, as we can hear each move being executed!
