As of 2023, Kikizo's legacy video files (.wmv format) are offline until further notice, but there's a good reason...
Today, the spirit of Kikizo lives on via our YouTube account where we release and preserve unique, rare, extended, remastered and/or previously unpublished games industry material deep from our archives...
At the same time, due to the increased attention on our YT channel, there's also been renewed attention on the site, meaning more .wmv video file downloads happening here (and unfortunately, increased hosting costs!). Well, we may have started this thing in the 90s, but I'm not gonna keep paying for bandwidth like it's the 90s...
The obvious solution is: our YT channel is effectively going to be the new place to get all Kikizo videos... but, since every upload on YT gets special treatment of some kind (restoration work, groups of things together that make sense, etc), we're not just uploading the entire WMV archives as-is.
So if you landed here after clicking on one of the WMV links on the site, please feel free to:
(1) Visit my channel! (Duh)
(2) Subscribe if you like the kind of stuff we're adding there...
(3) Maybe leave a comment on any well-suited video, about what you'd like to see us add next...
Note: Preservationists and gaming historians, fear not! The reason we do all this is because we care about preservation of this material. In the event we get tired of restoring and adding material to YT, we will simply restore the WMV archives on the site. We have very robust backups of all our data including the WMV media, so although it's offline publicly, it's safe.
