New blog post time!
This week's game is Lost in Shadow, one of Hudson Soft's last games before they were absorbed by Konami. It's very unusual compared to what they were known for and it's artistically gorgeous, but it struggles massively under the weight of its lofty ambitions:

Christian Hammond Investigates Faxanadu Internals
Oh we here at Set Side B try to make all kinds of posts, but among my personal favorite kind are finding some deep dive into some aspect of a game's inner workings and presenting it. These days, for multiple reasons (such as ease of monetization) many of these dives turn out to be

#hitexploded Neutopia 2, took a bit longer because of life/work. It was a nice playthrough, again not as deep as Zelda, but a fun play anyways. Bosses are nice (look and design as well as gameplay). Used save states (of course). #hudsonsoft #pcengine

Defeated Dirth! Dirth? Dirth Vader? Finally #hitexploded Neutopia, now to play the sequel. Hopefully it has a fan-translation? Definately not as polished as Zelda on SNES, but still a nice playthrough, not very difficult. Just right for a me now. #pcengine #hudsonsoft

It was a weird time. Around the time as the Famicom was just getting started, Hudson Soft struck a deal with Nintendo to release some of their games for the PC-88 Japanese personal computer platform.Many of these games had weird differences from Nintendo's originals.

That's about it for the #pcengine mini. Made by #hori for #konami (digital entertainment) who bought #hudsonsoft in 2012. Plenty of space inside the case, theoretically you could stuff the microUSB OTG splitter cable with an USB stick inside, but should we risk bricking the mini with bad power?

Done deal! #hitexploded Bomber Man on #famicom. Beat all 50 levels, got the end screen and then it looped back to stage 1. End screen message says "See you again in Lode Runner", so Lode Runner came after and #bomberman was a cameo. Fired up Lode Runner to check. #hudsonsoft
