Say what you will about the game, but Onyanko Town (Micronics/Pony Canyon, 1985) has just about my favourite Famicom box art. And look at that adorable powder blue cartridge and beautifully-designed manual! https://awoo.space/media/X-cud_oLSrnDx3S7l3k https://awoo.space/media/Gp0DlrbG2NWyC8pq3jI

I’m losing my mind over how great the weird prerendered 3D remake of Asteka on Saturn looks. Like something I’d have played on DOS as a kid. http://www.mobygames.com/game/sega-saturn/falcom-classics-ii

Wait repeat that mirror again https://awoo.space/media/UHsubYJUArOCOAbMOuE

Also, the higher-res textures reveal a few hidden art gags that IIRC weren’t visible in the original game - like the fact that the playing cards from the first case are made by Capcom. https://awoo.space/media/DBsh00X1XtEExtvb1OM

For a direct comparison of the DS and HD versions, these two screenshots are pretty close! Clearly the same source artwork, just rerendered at a higher resolution. https://awoo.space/media/j__M2qck4WFKQs1WcSI https://awoo.space/media/bCADpkz2wzjMV2amPEk

Also, I want Wocky Kitaki’s angry fox jacket. https://awoo.space/media/ffe7DJmGAVha49Ubx2U

I feel like I could pull off a pretty good “casual Ema” tbh https://awoo.space/media/v5gtsv5DecLgwdPxT0Y

I’m also glad to be reminded they’re keeping up the gay undertones even with Edgeworth out of the picture. https://awoo.space/media/ey0AhyllFqD9b1ufFSU

I played some of the HD version of Apollo Justice on the plane, and it’s *really* pretty. I’m impressed with what a good job they did! https://awoo.space/media/-4HRqP4ZZA7TqsTCz4A

This is the single most relatable line in the history of video games. https://awoo.space/media/f2h_9XXQvDgbRgjYozg

I have a decent guess what the compression scheme is, but it's not playing as nicely with me as Lunar's compression is. Maybe my guess is wrong.

I haven't been able to grab the tile out of the game yet, but I did extract this from a RAM dump. Looks like the portraits are compressed on-disc and in RAM, and only decompressed into the VDP RAM when displayed. https://awoo.space/media/5C_Yz7zQczabpsiNueA

Been doing some tile hunting in Magic Knight Rayearth and, well, this isn't right but it sure is pretty! https://awoo.space/media/TvGZlxs94r8pSWzl3FE

.@Xkeeper helped me out, so I fixed my Lunar: SSS portrait palette conversion tool! It’s a very straightforward 15-bit palette.
