Watch the video, ya freakin' animals!
I will be thrilled if I can add "toilet pizza" to the list of terms I've helped ease into the cultural lexicon (see also: metroidvania, battle panties)

Elevator Action & Legend of Kage retrospective: Ups and downs | NES Works #046
Next time, Nintendo confuses a generation of kids by making the title character NOT the protagonist.
So is this going to be a NES Works x Metroidvania Works double-feature?

I'd much rather you go back to your old ending jingle arrangement. Chiptune one isn't doing it for me.
I specifically sought out a copy of Heiankyo Alien for Gameboy because of Jeremy's Gameboy Works series (formerly Gameboy World). He's probably my favorite content creator on the subject of video game history. Found so many wonderful old gems because of him.

Yeah, I don't really care if people don't like it as much. With Eva hitting streaming distro this year, I want to keep the same theme without the risk of having my entire channel blitzed with copyright strikes.
Lynx Works is in development! I might kick it off later this year depending on how Virtual Boy goes.
With WS/NGPC, I'm waiting for someone to come up with a hardware hack to allow video capture. But I would chronicle the SHIT out of NGPC if I could, you have no idea.

But the more systems you're Works-ing the longer it's going to take to get to Metal Gear Ghost Babel! ;_;
I'm all in for NGPC Works
I'm excited to hear there's going to be a Lynx works at some point. I grew up on Nintendo hardware and I've found that retro content focused on systems I had little to no exposure to are a lot more interesting to me simply because they're usually a fascinating alternate dimension to peer into.

I actually figured by the way you were talking that Lynx Works was, well, in the works. I love portable gaming about as much as you do and from a video game rental store closeout once got a nearly complete Lynx collection for less than 50 bucks. All packaging included. I completed it and turned around and sold it to an Atari collector a few years back for an enormous profit, but if I'd had more space and time in my life I would have kept it just to say I had it.
I've also had the complete NGPC US library before, not that that was particularly difficult as it was clearenced out. Never even sniffed at a Virtual Boy library though one of my best friends in high school had all the rare ones from being lucky scavenging the stores as the stuff was traded in.
When you're Seventy though and finally getting to the Vita there are definitely people in this forum with nearly complete physical copy libraries.
With both Vita and 3DS, taking only care of physical releases would be missing the point so much - both systems have more than a half of their libraries available as exclusive digital titles.

I'm most excited for Toastyfrog to get to the GBA, PS2, or Wii. They have a much higher proportion of good, relatively little-known games that need exploring and celebrating in video format, especially since so many video reviews have been lost.
We won't live long enough for him to get to the PS2 and Wii (and most probably GBA as well).
The amount of shovelware on those platforms would make Parish go insane if he actually tried to do a game-by-game complete retrospective. Game Boy was soul-crushing enough.
