Greetings!
Our dear Fonzie has worked like a madman (he always does, by the way), with many Chinese sla... WORKERs to assemble and ship the reprint version. It was done this week. Expect great quality boxes from the factory which made the hard case for the Somy PleyStation Portabul 4 - Deluxe Edition!
More news on Monday...
Have a supreme weekend!
Later, aces!

The 32X Easter Egg is now found!
Greetings,
Today, we confirm that the infamous 32X easter egg is finally found by a player! Mr. incrediblehark from Maine, USA (the same place Stephen King is from and where most of his movies/books take place) gave us this line of proof (it is in white before "It is very right!", in case it may spoil):
It is very right! This is also why I have one blue cheese stuffed mushroom on the fork in my one hand and the 32X in the other, on this very pic:
This is me, Zebbe, and to the right we have Tiido (a.k.a. TmEE), WaterMelon's very own sound engine programmer and hardware tester as well as world famous Mega Drive modding master. We are posing in our ultr@ r@re Pier Solar t-shirts designed by the Fonz, who needs no further presentation, am I right? Also, no, you can never buy this shirt - it is WaterMelon team staff exclusive! Except for Fonzie who traveled from China to USA to meet Phyu and Tulio, me and Tiido are the only ones in WaterMelon who have met each other in real life. This photo was taken the week before last week when I took the boat across the pond (The Baltic Sea) to see him, as he did when visited me 1,5 years ago. Now, I ran out of things to write and really need to empty my catheter, so see you around folks!
Have a great time!

"I see you have the black mushroom" and you get Sonic's Shoes - The "Black Mushroom" is the 32x - because of its unusual shape - right?!

Pier Solar @ Retro Gathering - again!
Greetings!
Two days ago, I went to Retro Gathering Winter Edition (a retro video games event in Stockholm, Sweden) with my brother. There, we showed off the finished version of Pier Solar. Everybody who saw it dropped their jaws to the floor and gave me eternal praise. A dude also photographed my custom made WaterMelon shirt. Except for all this, there were also lots of friendly people, games to play and buy and many other things! Here are some pics:
The shirt blows anything by Dolce & Gabbana agay, hrmm, aW
AY.
You CAN'T get this shirt, not even if you beg a lot.
Our table this time around. I had some private stuff for sale. Almost everyone wanted to buy my Nomad, or "Game Gear" as some people tend to think it is.
GamingGrannar.se's table. These guys are always friendly and cool. They didn't have any Sega shirt for
me though. But that's okay. I have a WM shirt!
The music quiz this time around. I recognized some tracks, although most games where from before I was born!
Some games you could play. Mega Drive, Super N******o, Neo-Geo, Atari something. The Neo-Geo is highly overrated!
The auction. I didn't buy anything this time around. Last time I bought some Streets of Rage 2 poster standee thingy.
That's all for now folks... We'll be right back!
(Grrrr.... It looks NOTHING like this with the pics and all when I layout the blog post. I don't have time to fix it, I must go to sleep now!)

Many thanks to all people involved! And even more thanks to all customers who pre-ordered this game since 2 years ago, putting your faith on our team, I have not enough words to thank you.
Keep tuned on our website (www.piersolar.com) for news on this project. The game has shipped but the story has just begun.
Best regards,

Did someone say something about a release date?
Well as you may have seen over on our FaceBook page something is indeed stirring!
It seems Pier Solar won't have an "official" release date; instead it'll be left to one of you folk to shout up and spread the joyous news when you receive your copy in the post...
When will shipping actually start? This is still surrounded in mystery but it'll be soon I know that much!
I guess this new entry answers all the emails I keep receiving that ask "When is the release date?"
Ta Ta for Now!

A one off to get you in the mood
Hi Folks,
It's been some considerable time since I posted anything on the blog! As most of you will know by now the game has reached the Packing stage.
I just wanted to wet your appetite a bit and leak a PCM track that i've had on my computer for a while :-) I'm not even entirely sure this is the final mix... but hey it'll get you in the mood :D
Fonz will slap my wrists later no doubt ;-)
TTFN,
