@heyphilsummers.bsky.socialI was flipping through this random issue of Nintendo Power and you can really feel how the North American market bottomed out during the end of the SNES days.
@heyphilsummers.bsky.socialCapcom absolutely flexing with what they could do on GameCube.
@heyphilsummers.bsky.socialThe audacity to give the graphics of SF3 anything below a 5.
@heyphilsummers.bsky.socialLooking like you're recovering well! Hope everything has been on the up.
@designroom.siteReposted by @heyphilsummers.bsky.socialHi, we're a new video game oral histories site.
Want to read the story of Shadow of the Colossus, as told by 11 people who worked on it? Or hear what Will Wright has to say about Spore in retrospect? Or see previously unreleased footage of Nintendo's Sound Fantasy?

@heyphilsummers.bsky.socialI'm bringing this feature back for Mega Man 2, but in an attempt to not repeat nearly all of the same information (all of those compilations) I have a few other ideas to keep it fresh!
@heyphilsummers.bsky.socialThis Mega Man 1 timeline was one of my favorite spreads from HDGG: Mega Man. It's interesting to see how many ways there are to play Mega Man based on the trends and delivery methods of each decade.
@heyphilsummers.bsky.socialSketches from when I was trying to figure out the Wily's Revenge suits.
@heyphilsummers.bsky.socialThank you! Yeah that remake seems cool. I don't have the capacity to do a guide for that but even just doing something like a manual for it would be rad!
@heyphilsummers.bsky.socialAh thanks! All my goofy ninja turtle toys found a new life uhhh on a new shelf to be displayed haha.
@heyphilsummers.bsky.socialHere's an interview about my inspirations, creative process, and more. Thanks for the opportunity and kind words @legendscookbook.jobjobllc.com!
@kohler.bsky.socialReposted by @heyphilsummers.bsky.socialSymphony of the Night design documents on display at the Konami booth at TGS. The mock screenshot is incredible
@heyphilsummers.bsky.socialYou had incredible seats!!
@heyphilsummers.bsky.socialIt was really nice. I'm glad we went. And yes, same!!
@heyphilsummers.bsky.socialApparently I was like 20 feet in front of you because I was sitting at one of those tables near the piano when he was playing this! Glad you had fun.
@heyphilsummers.bsky.socialTook the family to the Undertale symphony in Philly tonight. I've never played through this game before but apparently I know every single song! Crowd was going wild during this thing!
@heyphilsummers.bsky.socialOpening this little Final Fantasy X music box.
@heyphilsummers.bsky.socialI've been knee deep in HDGG: Mega Man 2. I'm putting my all into it to hopefully make an even better book than before.
@heyphilsummers.bsky.socialMega Man takes a breather after stopping Dr. Wily. This is the unedited scan of an illustration used in Hand-Drawn Game Guides: Mega Man. I was in a nice groove of posting art almost daily for a few months but have obviously fallen out of it..
@heyphilsummers.bsky.socialWell yeah I drew the whole game!
