What do I know about Star Fox 2? Hmmmm… Well, I gotchu. 🚀 Star Fox 2 was DONE in 1995, reviewed & ready to drop. Nintendo killed it fearing PS1’s 3D would make SNES look primitive. ⚡️ Quick tip: Hold Y + Down to transform to Walker mode instantly.

Some tidbits: Famicom Disk System version – Press Select 22x on the title screen for infinite retries. (Not in the NES cart.) 🎵 On the title screen, hold A+B then press Start to slightly change the music’s pitch.

Pixel art ages like wine. Early polygons? Like milk. Here’s why 2D sprites still look amazing, and why so many 3D classics are hard to even look at now. 🎮 Pixels vs. Polygons: facebook.com/Chr1sM4rt1n #RetroGaming #PixelArt #GameDesign #Nostalgia

“You must defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance.” A mistranslation. An April Fools’ hoax. A legend that fooled millions. Here’s how Street Fighter II’s fake secret boss became canon. #StreetFighter #RetroGaming #ShengLong 🕹️📷 facebook.com/Chr1sM4rt1n

Digital games have no disc. No box. No resale. No shelf space. So why do they cost the same as physical copies? We’re paying more for less, and calling it “convenience.” Let’s talk about it. 👇

Special edition consoles: 🎮 Cool to look at, same guts inside. Paying extra for paint and FOMO. Worth it for love, not logic. Don’t get played by the hype. #gaming #retrogaming #gamers

Why can’t the retro gaming community get along? Too much ego, clout-chasing, and gatekeeping? Not enough focus on the games? We could build something amazing… But we keep fighting each other. Read this: 🔗 facebook.com/cmartin.media #RetroGaming #PreservePlayUnite #DRG #ChrisMartin

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound is here and it’s AWESOME. Brutal combat, retro 2D bliss, and a soundtrack that hits like a katana to the gut. This is how you do it.

Earthion isn’t just another retro-inspired shooter, it’s a full-blown resurrection of 16-bit AWESOME. Sharp controls, killer soundtrack by Yuzo Koshiro, and real evolution between stages. One of 2025’s best so far. 9/10 Now on Steam, consoles soon.
