Miyamoto-Free Gaming Zone

If gamers wish to reject Nintendo as well as opponents of Nintendo (Sega, Sony, Microsoft) that were praised and respected by Super Mario Bros creator Shigeru Miyamoto, here are some video game platforms that gamers who dislike Shigeru Miyamoto can move to.

Vectrex: A vector display-based video game console that did not have any ports of Nintendo games at all. While the Vectrex is remembered for being a commercial failure, its port of Namco's Pole Position is definitely one of the best games for this platform.

NEC TurboGrafx-16/PC-Engine: Need a true 16-Bit alternative to the Nintendo-Sega rivalry? NEC conceived that answer with the TurboGrafx-16/PC-Engine. It did not have Mario or Sonic, but it had Bomberman, Pac-Land, Raiden, Splatterhouse, all 4 Valis games, various Bonk games, Cotton, Magical Chase, Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, Valkyrie no Densetsu, a couple of Gradius games, Lemmings and and many more. Surprisingly enough, the NEC PC-Engine outsold the Sega Mega Drive in Japan. Ironically enough, Sega released some of their games for the NEC PC-Engine such as Golden Axe, After Burner II, Columns, a couple of Puyo Puyo games, Shinobi, Space Harrier and Bonanza Bros.

Casio Loopy: A console marketed to girls. The Casio Loopy was more like a printer that printed custom stickers, and it predated the Game Boy Printer by 3 years. It's definitely Nintendo-free and Miyamoto-free territory because not a single game that was published by Nintendo, Sega, Sony or Microsoft was officially ported over to the Casio Loopy.

Epoch Super Cassette Vision: The successor to the Epoch Cassette Vision, the Super Cassette Vision had a mediocre game library which included Namco games such as Mappy, Sky Kid and Pole Position II. Unfortunately, this rival of the Famicom ended up being promptly forgotten. At least it was available in France, meaning this console was not Japan-only. And it does not have any ports of Nintendo games or Sega games at all.

Atari Jaguar: Atari's last console is definitely one of the most underrated consoles. Unlike the Atari 2600, the Atari 5200, the Atari 7800, or even the Atari 8-Bit Computers, the Atari Jaguar has absolutely no ports of Nintendo games whatsoever. It has Rayman, Raiden and Doom, and if you like fanservice ladies, you can always go with Thundra from Kasumi Ninja and Volcana from Ultra Vortek.

SNK Neo Geo: The home of the King of Fighters series, the Samurai Shodown series, the Metal Slug series, Waku Waku 7, some Puzzle Bobble games and some Bomberman games. No games from Nintendo or Sega on this arcade cabinet.

Panasonic 3DO: It may have been a commercial failure, but it had some great games such as Gex, Doom, Lemmings, Super Street Fighter II Turbo, a Suchie-Pai game and even SNK's Samurai Shodown. The 3DO, however, lacked ports of games published by Nintendo, Sega or Sony.

TL;DR: If you are a gamer who dislikes Shigeru Miyamoto, these seven video game consoles are among the best options right now, even if all of them are discontinued products.

P.S. The versions of Lemmings and Doom on any of these platforms are from the pre-Sony and pre-Microsoft period.

Imminent Regret

On the 14th of March, 2026, Cuba was rocked by one of the biggest revolts since Fidel Castro's 1959 Revolution. This revolt was in protest against the Communist regime amid blackouts that were made worse by a US oil blockade.

Speaking of Cuba's 1959 Revolution, SNK lionized this revolution in their 1987 Arcade game Guerrilla War, which was originally released in Japan as Guevara. In Guerrilla War, Player 1 is in the shoes of the titular character Che Guevara, while Player 2 takes up the role of Fidel Castro. Now that the Cuban people are revolting against the ideology that Che Guevara and Fidel Castro fought for in Guerrilla War, should the Communist regime fall, it will leave SNK wallowing in regret because the Arcade game that was based on the 1959 Cuban Revolution will be on the list of poorly-aged things.

Remembering the Neo Geo

The Neo Geo. The arcade cabinet that transformed SNK into a serious Console Wars contender by giving us The King of Fighters, Samurai Shodown and Metal Slug. A true icon of video game history that may have influenced the creation of the Newgrounds website. Now, more than 30 years later, the Neo Geo is still the greatest arcade cabinet in video game history, with the Sega Astro City being the only serious contender that I know of.

Arcades of Yesteryear

Do you remember the glory days of the video game arcades? Well, I do. That's why this comic focuses on remembering the days of growing up with Street Fighter, The King of Fighters, Metal Slug, Raiden, Dance Dance Revolution, Pop'n Music, Bishi Bashi, and Puzzle Bobble. but these were the more well-known ones. There might be more arcade obscurities out there, waiting for recognition.

Back in the late 1990s, video game arcades were still alive and well. In fact, some of the best arcade titles such as Puzzle Bobble, Street Fighter, Raiden, and Metal Slug to name a few were brought over to the PlayStation, and these arcade conversions did well. But now, a large number of arcade titles have fallen by the wayside, and of those that have continued to hold out, very few of them aged well. Even the video game arcades have seen the number of good arcade video games dwindle, and they continue to dwindle to this day.

And yes, the "Oh, to be young again..." quote became a popular topic in poetry that it became an actual quote in Miitopia, where Miis afflicted with aging often complain about what they have to do to be young again. Man, I really miss the times when arcades were at their prime...

Sports Bra Swim Top Colors

Sports bras were not designed for swimming. However, swimwear tops based on sports bras do exist, and they are popular with triathletes and anybody who wants to wear two-piece swimwear but want more modesty.

Here are some color designs that sports bra swim tops should have. For example, the Three Crowns has become a symbol of Sweden from the Air Force to sports teams. Another popular design would be the shimabra, which would complement the shimapan knickers. In fact, two-piece swimwear based on shimabra and shimapan are largely popular. Other designs would include the shamrock, which has become a symbol of Ireland, and several video game-related content such as the Wii logo and the MSX logo.
