Nintendo Direct was good. State of Play was good. CyberConnect2 announcement was good.

If anyone is wondering, my game of 2025 was Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter. @falcom.co.jp deserves all the praise.

(Though I only actually played a handful of games.)

These chuckleheads can’t get me out of their minds.

Going to pretend I know Pokemon beyond Johto and say I’m honored to be a shiny Salamence.

It’s that time of year again that I remind you all that I can be the hottest on the mic since [insert favorite artist here] if someone just gave me a cool million.

Just got back after two weeks in Japan (in case you’re wondering why Gematsu schedule has been so out of wack lately). It’s been six years, but had the best time reuniting with old friends, meeting new friends, and returning to BitSummit. That heat was something else though…

Bought this yesterday. Coincidentally, today is the 29th anniversary. Happy 29th, PopoloCrois~

Late update, but it actually ended up arriving Friday! Haven’t had a chance to mess around with it yet though—too busy covering summer games events for @gematsu.com. Hopefully tomorrow… #switch2

Happy Switch 2 launch day! No new console for me until next week (thanks, superstore), but hoping everyone is enjoying the launch lineup.

On an unrelated note, shoutout to all the PR sending out embargoes for SGF announcements / making my week just a tad easier.

Played a bit of Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster today—particularly the mouse control minigames. Ringabel’s Panic Cruise is the equivalent of driving with a car full of nagging children. But I did alright somehow! It was fun to try out!

Nintendo denying me access to Switch to the power of two.

Nintendo hates us all equally ♥️

Had a great time at the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Orchestra World Tour last night. Loren Allred‘s performance was especially great. Go play Rebirth!

Late but hope ya’ll had a good Christmas / holiday break.

It's about you.

Thank you for 30 years of play 💙

That’s awesome! Need to start planning my own trip. Flights are actually somewhat affordable now.

Incredibly kind of you to leave such a nice message! I’m happy you’re enjoying the website so much. I’ll keep doing my best!

Late cross-post, but here are my pumpkins (actually just one pumpkin, two sides).

Yeah well there are only two tracks for now. Maybe I’ll add another this year!

I’m Sal Romano. I run @gematsu.com, which I think is great.

I also recorded some music a couple of times: soundcloud.com/salromano (If you want to offer me a record deal, I’m just a DM away.)

I’m not really active on Twitter, so expect similar here. But I’ll look out for any replies.

Literally me. But I will definitely be done by early next week.
