I didn't even know this was big enough thing to warrant a thread but I love it.
Barely on topic I guess, but anyone who likes retro game really needs to read Hi-Score Girl. It's a coming of age/romantic comedy set around early 90s Japanese arcades and video game culture. The author obviously knows his stuff too. Really great manga.
That's kind of vague. Can we turn this to a references/appearances of retro games in media thread instead?

Sure thing.
>>2901904
Waiting for a thread like that. Someone can identify which Famicom game Eva is playing? My first guess was Solomon's Key, but I don't know if there is another game like that in the library
>>2901904
surely by "vague" you mean "overly specific", which is the exact opposite

It's gotta be. The cartridge doesn't look that familiar but the screenshot is almost identical.

I love how much anime loves the Saturn.
There was a Saturn in an episode of You’re Under Arrest. Japan really loved the Saturn huh?
>>2902048
Well Anime is 2D, so it kinda makes sense.
>>2902048
Sega _let_ them love it. If only they'd extended the same opportunity to we filthy gaijin, but nooooo.

Nah, he's only part of the problem. That's like blaming the flu on the joint aches.

If you'd made a joke about it being off because of low battery life that would have been funny. Instead you posted a bunch of bitter fanboy nonsense.

Is he holding a PC Engine GT?

Yeah. He has one in the manga.

Finally an on-topic thread. I've been here for a while and there's hardly any threads about virtual reality.
The manga Blazing Ninjaman shows the best use of the Game Gear TV Tuner:
>>2901897
Yeah, it's totally fantastic - I can't recommend it highly enough.
>>2902230
The main character's a pretty big PC Engine enthusiast at least in the earlier episodes.
>>2902856
On the bright side, they've at least cleared up the legal issues with SNK. Hopefully someday they'll do the rumored animu.
But yeah, the scanlators have only just been releasing new chapters at a decent rate recently, it's going to be a while.
>>2902856
i love that feel. unless its one of those authors that doesnt have a steady release schedule or is on hiatus constantly. then it sucks

The Dreamcast made quite a few appearances in Love Hina.

They used the Master System light gun in Zillion because Sega sponsored/funded it.
Opa Opa was in it too.
There's that show where all of the characters are literally humanized Sega consoles. Anyone know if its any good?

It's very cheap 3D animation made in MMD, but it's somewhat funny. Don't expect too much from it.
>>2904614
I really enjoyed it. Broad enough comedy for non fans but a lot of obscure references for super fans.

It's from Bamboo Blade brotha. One of the very few high school comedies that are genuinely funny.
There was quite a bit of the Super Famicom in Ika Musume, IIRC.

I particularly like that it gives Huitzil some limelight. Not surprising given that he author is a Hutizil player (he even still enters tournaments).

People just aren't learning how to draw anymore. It's kinda sad.
>>2906030
Isn't CGI more expensive than just drawing if it's just people standing around and talking, too?
I said it was like something Chinese because they have a penchant for trying to make their own anime due to a ban on foreign cartoons but for one reason or another doing the whole thing with computers.

>>2906030
Shows like that are an exception. Nearly all anime is hand-drawn. And drawing in general is ludicrously popular in Japan with all the people (amateurs and pros) drawing manga, illustrations and characters. It's 3DCG that's unpopular there.
Here is an amateur production based on the Touhou games:
