holy shit at most of this but especially Gimmick Land—this was an early game by AlphaDream (Mario & Luigi RPG devs) that they initially planned to publish independently, but Nintendo took an interest and had them rework it for GBA into the Japan-only game Tomato Adventure
also cool: Sutte Hakkun GBA! the original Sutte Hakkun game/s were the first works by indieszero (Retro Game Challenge, NES Remix, Theatrhythm) & based on a FCDS prototype made as part of Nintendo Game Seminar
(I say "game/s" because it was an episodic/level-pack game with a bunch of different versions that overlap to some degree, across Satellaview, Nintendo Power & genuine cartridge release)
oh and that tweet I quoted is mislabeled, Sutte Hakkun's for GBC
dude's made tons of discoveries over the course of these leaks, come watch him make some more

the next Tengo Project game has been revealed via Famitsu scoop: Kikikaikai: Kuro Mantle no Nazo, a sequel (not a remake!) of the first Pocky & Rocky SNES game ryokutya2089.com/archives/35779🇯🇵 one cute detail, the subtitle is an inversion of the SFC game's subtitle, Nazo no Kuro Mantle
oh and btw, I'm pretty sure the name "Pocky & Rocky" is owned by Natsume USA, a la Harvest Moon, so if and when this comes overseas, it'll probably retain the Kikikaikai title
...and here are a few screenshots! the article makes reference to the series's overseas popularity, which is maybe a little misleading but whatever

should TTC to go back to restricting Tetris to 1 licensee at a time? no

do I feel players should simply migrate to the newest game instead of playing any & all alternatives? ofc not

is TTC's conduct in direct contradiction of their stated aims wrt enforcing guideline? no doubt
like, wasn't the idea behind guideline to unify players as a stepping stone to pro competition (or the friggin olympics, or whatever)? but TTC does & will not do anything to foster a competitive scene, the players can only do so much on their own & the licensees can't justify (>)
…doing anything themselves because it won't pay off in the short-term & will inevitably be killed in the long-term because they don't own the game & can't really profit from it peripherally

2021's going to have PPT2, Effect Connected & 99 plus Primetime & mobile, and ofc…

another CEDEC summary, this one with producer Kouichi Kawanaga and director Hiroshi Matsunaga on the conception, making and remaking of Ring Fit Adventure famitsu.com/news/202009/04…🇯🇵
this one's super interesting but super long... the gist is that Kawamoto's usual MO is hybridising two different ideas to make new ones & thus Ring Fit was being made with the concept of "fitness + RPG" but they eventually realised that by working so hard to blend the disparate…
…elements as thoroughly & unobtrusively as possible, they'd made something boring that didn't work as a fitness tool or an RPG, so they had to completely redesign the game with more concrete delineation between exercises & gamey-game stuff

from CEDEC: HAL Laboratory's Haruka Ito & Yukari Kenmochi discuss the three tenets of their approach to UI design and how they're applied to the Kirby series famitsu.com/news/202009/03…🇯🇵
one Kirby-related tidbit: Kirby's aesthetic isn't seen as "cuteness" but "warmth", and the UI reflects that warmth by deliberately avoiding points or hard edges, not using high-contrast colours, etc
they also break from convention with regards to how they display info: using a mode selection screen as an example, they could simply & efficiently consolidate everything on one screen, but they tend towards multiple sub-screens so as to not overwhelm or intimidate new players

the final Astro City Mini reveal begins in ~10 minutes these are all the games currently announced, the remaining 13 will be revealed tonight (Arabian Fight, Stack Columns & Ninja Princess already leaked...)
here we go... last-minute guess, I'm going to go out on a limb and say they might just announce Puyo Puyo 2
Astro City Mini game #24: Arabian Fight! this System 32 brawler has never been ported, and the huge sprites, scrolling & full-screen animated cut-ins were crazy for a 1991 game
