Sega Japan's using Alien Soldier's 25th anniversary as an excuse to sell a very limited amount of Asian Mega Drive Mini units in Japan, each one enclosed with a postcard drawn by Hotonde Shindeiru, author of the Isekai Ojisan manga sega.jp/mdmini/mdm_asi…🇯🇵 out March 25, ¥8980
icymi, the Asian MD Mini's library contains a handful of exclusive games (Alien Soldier, Shining Force 2, Outrun 2019, Sword of Vermilion) and otherwise blends the JP & Genesis Mini lineups, with several of the JP language-heavy games swapped out for Genesis Mini picks
specifically:

cut from the JP Mini: Dyna Bros 2, Lord Monarch, Madou Monogatari I, Party Quiz Mega Q, Rent A Hero, Street Fighter 2, Hybrid Front, Yu Yu Hakusho

added from the GEN Mini: OG Sonic, Castle of Illusion, Strider, Wonder Boy in Monster Land, OG Puyo/Mean Bean Machine
it doesn't perfectly compile all the action games—GEN Mini exclusively has Shinobi III & Dynamite Headdy, plus EWJ & Vectorman—nor does it have a single fighting game (not even VF2 GEN...) but if you want /most/ of the JP Mini lineup without the text-heavy games it's a good get

blackoak gets a little sheepish about plugging his work but I don't, so here goes: if you appreciate any or all of the 300+ interviews posted on @shmuplations over the last few years, please consider becoming a patron! patreon.com/shmuplations
people may not realise that blackoak's spent literal weeks holed up in the National Diet Library scanning old material and is sitting on a massive backlog of content, and the work he's already put into the site goes far beyond his ostensible budget, so if for whatever reason(>)
...you're not swayed by the mere notion of giving him adequate compensation for his work, know that more patrons means more time to commit to translation, the potential to bring in more translators, genre specialists, etc & other assistants to help whittle down the backlog

Sega's Rieko Kodama and Yosuke Okunari & M2's Naoki Horii discuss the making of Sega Ages Sonic the Hedgehog 2, out on the Japanese Switch eShop tomorrow & overseas next week🇯🇵
why Sonic 2? they decided from the jump to include two Sonic & two Puyo games; they're signature games of the era & the second games of each series are the ones that really perfected their respective formulas, so they didn't hesitate to add both or overlap with Mega Drive Mini
Sonic Team moved to the US while making Sonic 2 in order to better capture American tastes; Kodama submitted art for Casino Night Zone from Japan but, given that she hadn't actually visited any casinos, it wasn't very authentic & art director Yamaguchi basically redrew it all

M2's signed on to Sega's APM3 arcade platform, and they've announced a Fantasy Zone port as well as a new shooting game called "Senjin"🇯🇵
here's a Senjin teaser from the PV being shown at the venue, which includes in-game footage, hopefully they put it online once JAEPO's over
they're apparently looking to have this running in arcades by fall, and Senjin may be a temp title

I wonder if how how this is connected to the previously announced Mononoke Ninpochou/Ninja Soldier...

#Qanon 3838 has got me really interested and I think I know what he talks about in here.

Ever since we came to this world, we were placed in a system where the media, our parents, and a lot of good people we know have made us to who we are.
#TheGreatAwakening #WWG1WGA #MEGA
What is wrong and what is good, what is allowed and what isn't, how should I look and how I shouldn't. It's not specifically the Democratic Party who made this, someone was pulling these strings so this (system) could be integrated into our daily lives.
Why are we living the way we are? Why do we work? Who do we work for? Why money seems so necessary to have? Why can't we LIVE without money? What money gives us!? We live in a society where this system rules over humanity. The Matrix movie explains this very well.

#Japan vows to axe #SouthKorea from smooth-trade list, as row deepens - Tokyo plans to remove Seoul from a white list of countries that face minimum trade restrictions @9b3OR2qdITMbDcd scmp.com/news/asia/east…
South Korea protested against Japan’s plan to remove it from a list of countries with minimum trade restrictions, saying it undermines their decades-old economic & security cooperation & free trade. Asked Japan to scrap the plan, on concerns of disruptions of global supply chains
Japan’s planned revision of a law to take S Korea off its so-called white list comes amid a deepening row over compensation for wartime forced labour & after Japan tightened curbs this month on exports to South Korea of hi-tech materials used to make memory chips & display panels

Okay #acwrit I have a new writing trick I wanted to share: #WEXTING

I love social writing (sitting in same room and writing in silence with others) but I find it IMPOSSIBLE to schedule this. So #wexting was born.

Here is how it works:
1/ Choose a #wexting partner. I recommend someone who is trying to devote a similar amount of time to writing and it helps if you like them A LOT bc writing is hard enough. Shout out to my current #wexting pal, @lizaweinstein!
2/ Each day set up a time (or times!) to complete writing #units together. Liza and I like 45 min #units and our first one is at 5:30am before our families wake up which for the record is NOT a time I get up unless I know Liza is waiting.

The #SEGA #MultiMega repair log of SN: Y001983. This poor unit has been with me for quite some time due to a lack of references or working systems to compare against until this year.
Also it has been previously professionally repaired by another party.
So, it turns on and play games; where's the issue?

Operation is somewhat haphazard at best. We're missing some audio effects, 6 button controllers do not work in 2P and are erratic for 1P, noise during operation in audio & video and CD games work intermittently after ten minutes
So it had been "recapped" along with having the SEGA 315-5660 ASIC replaced due to corrosion. The latter is no small feat to be taken likely for such a fragile multi-layer board. Sadly the quality of the rework is not up to scratch nor are the trace repairs. Also, missing a pin.
