The Tower of Zeldaga is a mashup of the Legend of Zelda and Tower of Druaga. Every room has a secret puzzle and the puzzles get more obtuse as you go on. It's free, runs in your browser (incl mobile), supports controllers, and I'd really love for you to try it out! legitimatebusiness.biz/tower/

I didn't enjoy NES Metroid until I stopped trying to follow guides and started drawing my own maps. I loved videogames as a kid because they gave me a peek into another world. They're not just a bunch of systems to overcome. Sometimes it's worth taking time to explore and chart your own course.

Twinkle Girl has been revealed, filling in one of these seven silhouettes! And the new Jet Stinger weapon must surely come from the one with the pointy head/helmet that's facing to the left. Is that Jet Man? What other revised predictions do you now have after Capcom's Gamescom reveals? #MegaManDO

When I submitted the design for Cactus Man for MegaMan Dual Override, this is roughly what I had in mind. I've based the mockup on the player filling the arena with sand in this playthrough. #pixelart #ドット絵 #megaman

The Coin of Destiny in #bb28 should just be a guaranteed HOH takeover instead of a 50/50 flip. The odds of being voted into the BB Time Capsule multiplied by the 1-in-10 chance to specifically land on the Coin power in the spinning minigame in there are already enough of a longshot.

In Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, green trampolines make Mario jump so high he goes offscreen for 6 seconds. By extracting his position values from the code, we can "zoom out" the stage and visualize his actual arc, which reveals just how absurdly high the jump is.

I've been wanting to play these for 30 years! And they've also added some Virtual Boy game soundtracks to Nintendo Music. My inner teenage self is ecstatic!

This take on the original Mega Man stage select screen was a fun spread to put together, though in hindsight I wish I had given each robot master their own dedicated spread/section. There's always Mega Man 2 to fix that.
