      I was originally going to send this via private message but there's apparently no way to do that on this forum. Then I figured why not share what I dug up because a lot of it was just kinda interesting. What follows is a list of multiple systems and either their Japanese advertising catchphrase, or a tagline that was used in some form of advertisement for them (catalogs, commercials, etc). Enjoy! @lipebello This list is by no means exhaustive so let me know if there are more systems you want to do Japanese pages for.

      The bold words are the ones I would suggest emphasizing if you're doing text where some words jump out, or putting in a different color if you're doing more than one. If you've got something else in mind like having five different ways to emphasize each part just let me know and I'll help you parse it out.

      WonderSwan: みんな、本気になってくる (

      )
      Note: The proper Japanese spelling for the system is ワンダースワン, which you have for the color but not the original.
      Or if you wanna tweak Conan's catchprase, 色はいつも二つ! (There are only two colors!)

      CONSTANT PARTS OF THE THEME:
      Number of players: 人数

            Hi @lipebello , I love this theme and really appreciate you creating and sharing it for everyone to use! I'm running a 4:3 front end compared to the 16:9 you provide in your artwork so I was wondering if you would be so kind to send me just the blue comic background so I can create my own smaller and more simple theme? It's the one behind the box art with a burst looking background.

                Close! But I mean just the blue square (first panel on page 2) in high enough res to stretch to 800 x 600?

                    Thank you so much! Is that just a paint brush that gives it that grunge effect on top of this?

                                What's the status of this theme? Is there any updated version with systems like 3DO and Atari Jaguar?

                                  Hi. I'm new to retropie, just got my first raspberry (a Pi 4), so as soon as retropie was relased for it, I've started to read and watch everything I've found. As soon as I came across the Retorama theme and associatted studd, I knew it would be the theme for the arcade cabine I'm building. Huge thanks to @lipebello, I can't even imagine the amount of effort and time put into creating such beatiful art.

                                  By the way, will the theme in 3:4 format finally come out? That woule be graeat as I'm planning on using and old CRT TV for my cabinet.

                                  Again, thanks to @lipebello for sharing this amazing work.

                                  Cheers

                                      @lipebello your retrorama theme is absolutely stunning! Thanks for sharing it.

                                      Couple of questions.

                                      1. I would love to have your game logo art for each system so that the @meleu launching art generator would pull those instead of the blank one.

                                      2. How’s the update coming along? I Can’t Wait!

                                      Cheers

                                          Thanks for the nice comments, i'm still working on some updates for it, but i'm remaking the whole thing. I will be doing a 4:3 version, but some thing will need to be adapted, because i'm making some illustrations for arcades, collections and hack systems and manga covers for japanese systems. these will need to be rescaled for it to work.
                                          I've also made a new intro (got tired of the old Marvel one, too comic book and less games). Now i don't need to drive to other city to work, i have some more time to work on it
