Being developed by the French. So are the Japanese completely out of the biz now? Can they even do jack shit on their own any more?

According to that blog post:

We're so happy to be able to work on a cool project like Monster Boy but things are getting surreal now: Yuzo Koshiro and two of his friends (to be revealed later) have joined the team and will contribute music to it! Wow...O.o - We always wanted to work with great musicians from Japan and we couldn't be more proud and happy about it. 

Yuzo Koshiro is famous for his awesome soundtracks in many videogame classics like the Ys Series, Streets of Rage, Revenge of Shinobi, Actraiser and many more. 

So I guess the Japanese still like to make music lol.

Yes indeed. It will be interesting to hear what they come up with because Monster World tracks are usually pretty laid back but extremely catchy (at least in the case of Wonder Boy 3 The Dragon's Curse).

Look at the first 30 secs of that video, which is the 1995 E3 Sony Keynote about the upcoming Playstation. Can you guess what game they showed as an example of a "Substandard 2D game"? Yes, that's right, Irem's NINJA SPIRIT for the Turbografx!

What an odd choice.

GREAT FIND!

I agree, it seems odd that Sony would choose an old, relatively unknown title to represent the "archaic" 2D genre of gaming.

Of course, that could have been the point: choose a relatively unknown game as a *generic symbol* for "the old way"...nobody's feelings are hurt, no Mario/Sonic fans (with fond memories of playing prior generations of games) get their hearts broken...

And, on a corporate/business level, no relevant publishers or third party companies are publicly mocked.

Still, it seems like an odd choice.

I feel like we could list many SNES/Genesis games to be the generic symbol for "2D"  (even if we have to be careful not to offend folks)...

Choosing a game that was well-received by critics, such as Ninja Spirit, was a good decision (assuming any thought was put into it)...it strengthens Sony's argument that even "good 2D games" are going to be destroyed by modern 3D revolution.

Poor Ninja Spirit.

Is that for consoles or is it some Steam-only bullshit?

Were you really asking ? Exactly 1 minute in the video you see for Steam, PS4, XBOXONE.

Yeah I rarely watch internet videos. But my question had been answered before you posted but thanks anyway. Even though it's digital only I'll for sure get it.

The irony is that they cite the shitty Mortal Kombat 3 as being the new cutting edge of immersive gameplay.  That game's a turd.


Answering the OP's question though, I've been playing this video repeatedly throughout the day:


It's kind of cathartic hitting the "2" button on your keyboard just looping the dog launch over and over.  I'd seen the gif before but it's somehow funnier hearing the bounce sound the ball makes and then the shocked reactions of the people in the park right after.  Simple pleasures, I know.
I'm a notorious strange man.

That is amazing!  Something to actually play in 2016.

and similar video.

Sort of mesmerizing when those rail seems to never move. No stop sign every few miles, no idiot drivers, no police car in hiding, nothing, just a long run with only infrequent animal crossing to worry about.

Can almost see why train engineers tended to doze off, a long run with nothing to keep you alert like normal road can make one forget one still have to man the brake.

That looks like footage for a cancelled Railfan DLC. I kinda like that kind of stuff, it is relaxing.
