Followers of Dezaki, hear my word.
For only in this word can you hear the word:
The truth of Dezaki, what lies beneath the mask,
Honesty and sincerity, found both hand in hand.
For only in these things can you see the light
Of an artist's igniting moment.

Bro is gonna convert me into an Uberelitist. Well, time to go down the rabbit hole...

MY bad. I think I misclicked your profile for another one with a JOE pfp. Anyway could you sell me on Takarajima, Space Cobra, apart from widening my Dezaki knowledge?

Joe.

And you don't have both of these so you don't know what's going on. I followed retro IG pages on there and I have no doubt there are a lot of retro videos, and pictures being shared on there. So I have no reason to doubt there are retro video game video and images being shared on there.



I don't used Twitch (not my thing), and if you have bothered to look around on Reddit about do retro gaming get streamed on Twitch:

Twitch Reddit: Retro games and their audiences.

Retro gaming on Twitch

Streaming Older/Retro Games?

I found something more recent: Would you watch retro gaming on Twitch?

Although I don't used Twitch, I did some snooping around on Reddit and found these:

What is considered 'Retro' on Twitch?

The 'Retro' Category

The Retro category is killing the ability to easily find specific older games streamed on Twitch.



I know what social media, I take it you don't have Anilist. Here's my Anilist profile.

Here's what I can tell you that makes Anilist more of a social media over MAL:

-Ability to like a person's post (something I don't see in MAL)
-When you leave a post whether it's a status post, or a update on a anime/manga watching, for Anilist, you can not only make it public, it goes on a global public feed (MAL doesn't have a global public feed where a user that doesn't follow any specific users will not know immediately what that person watch or shared)

I mean I can tell you don't have Anilist, so you don't know how I define social media from your perception.



Then why do you talk shit/crap on people when it comes to retro stuff like you did when it comes to older/retro anime?

Also, MAL had a problem with fake users that aren't even anime fan in the past so I have to treat you like one.



I wouldn't called it self doxing, I called it authentication to confirmed if you're really who you say you are. That's the reason I put my birthday without any fear.

Doxxing will always come with the territory when it comes to having a online profile and social media regardless if you make your Birthday public or not. Am I scared of it? Nope, when I created MAL, or any online profile, or any social media account I put myself at risk at doxxing no matter what.

And speaking of authentication:



That makes sense, and for me I was lucky my MAL profile was not a victim of this weird technical issues. I'm sorry about your previous MAL profile.

But I did check out your previous MAL profile, and I have no reason to doubt you. I went as far as to leave you a comment on your previous profile as a sign of authentication that I've looked over through your profile. So thank you for telling me about your previous profile.

Now back on topic



You didn't answer my question, you wrote this:



What do you called putting emulated arcade games (from 1970's and early 1980's) on a cartridge like Super Nintendo, & SEGA Genesis? Do you called that a remastering like you said even though it's just emulation with no enhancement option?

Do you applied that to emulated arcade game that got released on CD-ROM format like SEGA Saturn, and Playstation 1. You said it yourself that remaster for newer hardware is just replicating, but what about pure emulation by putting it on cartridge and CD-ROM without any enhancement option, does that still count as retro game.

Your response is not quite impressive to me, and the fact that you deliberately ignored my Super Nintendo, and SEGA Genesis emulation port release of classic golden age arcade games makes me think you don't know how to answer that.

Here's an interesting thought, Resident Evil 4 (the original, not the recent remake) has gotten released on multiple generations of consoles before the remake, would you considered the original RE4 retro or not despite the remastering it received:




So given that RE 4 got a modern-day remake, does that make the original version retro now despite the remastering it got before the remake? What count as retro anymore? Should I applied that to TMNT: Turtles in Time despite it got a remake in 2009 before The Cowabunga Collection brought back the original arcade game (including the SNES version of the game).



And you're basing this on what? What experience do you have with Australia? Did you traveled there recently?



It's possible that people may start giving physical media more investment and focus less on streaming given that a lot of first and 3rd party "exclusives" & "original" contents are being removed/disappeared from streaming platform for the last few years (and also not given physical release), I think those that are observant on streaming platform (like me) would be worried about those shows and films being gone with no other means of watching it.



How do you know those are written by non-Zoomers? Are you going to say this Reddit thread about Golden age comic book was not written by a Gen Z user.



You never heard of Zillennials? Yep, they exist, and I suspect they're the one that are able to bridge the gap between Millennials and Gen Z, and probably the reason why retro games are able to get a sizable audiences within Gen Z demographics. And I suspect that Zillennials are probably the one that are also sharing retro/old school anime on Instagram and elsewhere.

So you don't have Instagram nor TikTok to verify or to investigate for yourself?



I wouldn't consider MAL a social media, but Anilist match my definition of social media despite being a anime collecting database like MAL.



Then what do you call these:













By your logic, these aren't retro game despite these re-release of classic arcade games from 1970's and early 80's on consoles like Super Nintendo, SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive, SEGA Saturn, Playstation.

What do you call these re-release of emulated SEGA Genesis Games on subsequent non-Genesis consoles:





If you said there are not retro game despite these re-releases kept the graphic and the gameplay, then how do you expect to explain to people how are these are not retro video game. You see the problem with your what you said, those are old games that are not fully remaster but yet they still retained the old graphic and gameplay from that era.

They are retro video games, and yet they're still going strong even after many years.



Assuming you're telling the truth (your MAL profile doesn't state your birthday). Also I have one more question: if you were born in 1970's like you claim, then why did you wait until 2018 to get MAL but not get it like in early 2010's, or early or late 2000's. How long have you been in the anime/manga fandom for?



Actually I got this from Australia, and this leaves me a lot of hope for physical media:



Also not sure if you read the Hollywood Reporter, but there are a lot of concern about streaming's removal of content and talks about resurrecting physical media because of that:

Why the Dying DVD Business Could Be Headed for a Resurrection (Nov 2023)

Christopher Nolan on the importance of physical media (2nd source: Variety) in the age of streaming provider's removal of content from their site. And if you want evidence that his word speak truth, then no look further then how Oppenheimer 4K blu-rays sold out (2nd sources: Variety, Deadline Hollywood). Other people on Hollywood are speaking out about the danger of streaming, and the importance of physical media.

That's why I think physical media could see a resurgence given that streaming like Netflix are removing their exclusive aka first party and 3rd party exclusive contents on their streaming platform. This is a very worst-case scenario because a lot of these content that are exclusive on Netflix don't have physical releases.



Again, what evidence do you have that backed up your statement, because I don't see anything that validate your statement. The rule of argument is that if you're going to make a statement like that, back it up with a physical evidence (and one that is very credible).



Actually, I can back up with this:





So do you want to explain these:

Any teenagers / Gen Zers here actually enjoy retro gaming?

Gen Z retro gamers, what got you into retro games? What was your first retro game? What was the first retro game you’ve beaten?

Im intrested. how many gen z'ers are into retro gaming, in this case meaning N64 and below

Those looks like young people born after 1994 being able to play older games by one mean or another.



Judging from the way you denied all the evidence I already showed you, then yes it's fair game for me to compare you to a election denier or even a flat earther despite all the evidence out there that back up everything I've seen on both social media and how retro game are being received outside of the retro gaming communities.

If there are young Gen Z retro gamers out there, then I can't ruled out the possibilities that there are young retro/old-school anime fanbase out there that may exist. It's possible for a anime fan that is also a retro gamer to crossover to retro/older anime.

I already gave you enough evidence (hard evidence!!!), you don't have any that can back any of what you said. See that's what I mean you're detached from reality. You refused to accept my evidence at all, that makes you no better then an election denier or a flat-earther folks.

Whatever, look you have no evidence that counter my evidence. You seem to detach yourself from reality when I showed you real evidence, and I don't know what's up with you when it comes to hard evidence. But you remind me of those election deniers in the USA when it comes to evidence and you seem to denied anything I gave you.

I don't know if I want to continue to talk to you given that you denied everything I just showed to you and the fact that you don't have any physical evidence that counter mine.

Yes, I'm serious!!! Your response makes me raise question about you.



That's why I'm asking you, what social media do you use? If you don't use any, then why not? What evidence do you need to proof that retro games are popular. Geez, you're like one of those people that doesn't believe in reality when I can find more evidence of it.



No, I'm not bias, but ironically you do seem bias judging from the way you break away from reality.



??? Give me an example of your definition of retro video game? Because I don't think you never play a retro game, and why do I have a feeling you're not a history nerd judging from reading your comments.



Uh, if I told you that streaming has been losing their subscribers due to variety of reasons, would you believe it or do you think these are fake news to you?

Let me tell you something: I've been hating on streaming for the last 5 years and I say this as someone who used to stream a lot since 2006/2007.

Again, what evidence do you need, are you really attached to reality or do you really think retro games are not popular like you claim.

Also, you don't have evidence to counter mine. So you lose the argument to me for that reason.

No, you don't. And I take it you don't use Instagram, or TikTok to know how retro game are getting more younger fans out there.



Hm, actually it does. This is what happened when you don't read the article, or have a close-mind (I hope you're not a bigot or something).



Again, how many retro game have you been playing lately? Because you make it sound like you haven't kept track of what's going on in the retro gaming world.



Well, did you asked any anime fans beyond that and I mean using Reddit thread, social media, and other anime forum. You do realize in the US, we've gotten more retro anime release in the States then what you got in your country where you come from.

Did you even bothered to read the article at all? Because I looked at your response and it looks like you didn't read the article at all, did you?

From the Guardian article:



There's nothing in the article about replicas or playing remastered versions, or playing ROMs in the article. Oh and speaking of that.



As I said, the article didn't mentioned anything about replicas or playing remastered versions. And even if they did, that still being exposed to retro games, and why would that matter to you. I mean there are probably younger Millennials and Gen Z that are probably playing these:




And I don't ruled out they could have access to these:




If younger people are being exposed to retro video games on social media like Instagram, and TikTok like the Guardian article mentioned then that means those retro games I've mentioned are probably getting a lot of younger audiences out there.

I also want to remind you we got some retro-inspired indies games out there that are also playing influence to young gamers out there that have caused a lot of them to crossover to actual retro games:

Nine great retro-inspired indies you can play today
Top 10 Retro Indie Games That Will Make Players Feel Nostalgic

10 Indie Games That Prove Retro Is Still Relevant


Any younger gamers playing these retro-styled indies games are probably the one that are likely to play retro game or crossover to retro gaming because of that.



And you're judging this from what? You don't have evidence that disprove otherwise while I can find a lot of evidence of younger fans discovering retro video game and older anime. You never used Instagram, or TikTok or even met any influencers that can persuade a portion of young anime fans to embrace retro anime (and they probably exist), have you? You don't need remastered anime to appeal to younger anime fans. I take it you never got to chance to play Little Goody Two Shoes? Because if any young anime fans/gamers were to played this game (and watch the anime cutscene), I can guaranteed that would get a lot of young anime fans that are also gamers to discover retro anime because of the 90's-styled animation used in the game.




It takes an influencer who is a retro anime nerd on social media to influence a lot of youngsters to embrace something retro, and I guarantee somewhere out there on TikTok or Instagram a retro anime fan is using that game to show what 90's anime has influence Little Good Two Shoes, and anyone that played that game that is amazed by the 90's anime animation would probably end up watching anime from the 90's.

Don't underestimate the power of curiosity, and the power of well discovering the old and retro.

Got something you may want to read on: The Guardian article: Why are younger generations embracing the retro game revival? (younger millennials and gen Z are getting in on the nostalgia too)

See if there are younger people that are playing retro video game, then how are you so sure there maybe young retro anime fans out there and they may or may not have MAL profile to indicate their presence. Also, we don't know how many of those younger retro gamers I mentioned in the article could also be anime/manga fans and it's possible that exposure to retro video game could make them curious about older anime. I mean it wouldn't sound crazy for a retro video gamer who is a anime fan who could've played an old obscure JRPG from the 90's could've ended up found out about a old anime adaptation of that obscure RPG game and just I don't know watched it, and got more curious about older anime and that person became a retro anime fan. You'll be surprised how people can become fan of old obscure stuff.

So maybe there are young retro anime fans out there if there is a retro video game fans that are younger then most of us on MAL.

Seeing Ryōko in someone's favorites is a nice change of pace. Definitely the best Tenchi girl, lol.

Мале брат, тези от Techno Police въобще не играят. Енунцияцията им е много добра, обаче никаква игра.

Възможно е аз да не съм го усетил.



Е, 2006г. все още се смятаха аниметата само за деца в България.



Хм, не знам дали това е изначалната замисъл. Мирът и спокойствието в покемон света вероятно е огледало на това в Япония. Не присъства особен натиск предизвикан от семейства или училища. В такава среда, можеш спокойно да си развиваш детското съществуване както желаеш.

Училища са първите среди за индоктринация и без това. Не малко, които даже те настройват против собствените ти родители.



Изостанъл съм със следенето на сезоните. Знам, че има четири исекаи тази доба. Направо ми гръмва мозъка, че още ги правят.



Веднага открих VHS rip на това в YouTube - баси якото.
