@Quick_Man

You havent had a point this entire time, you just dont like my opinion on the modern era of remakes. if all you are going to do is nitpick second and third order arguments, im done here. 👍

@slider1983

ok, I hear it now 🥴 please understand, I didn't conciously mean to come off that way. we are a genuinely more engaging, diverse, and interesting community, for our differences. ✌️

fwiw I LIKE that there are fans of "unpopular" or "failed" consoles, and as a jaguar, 32x, saturn, sega CD, turbo16, NGPC, Dreamcast owner and fan, I rank myself among them. 😊

@slider1983

i feel like somehow im not being clear. i was saying that the review should be about the collection itself, as well. 👍 and, definitely agree that the first two are the ones worth actually playing, if any.

"Just to note though I shouldn't be treated differently for having interest in something you don't. 👍"

do you feel i did this to you? regarding bubsy, or amico? 😕 i wasnt trying to make fun of you or be condescending, apologies. ✌️

(tbh i even stuck up for you when that other user was being kind of a jerk. 🤔)

@Quick_Man

i actually kinda find user's interest in the Amico to be endearing 😊👍 it takes all kinds, right?

(...is it "late 2025" already? 💀)

@slider1983

"I'm looking at Steam and it's mostly positive reviews."

touche! i even checked for myself.

"What are the criticisms of the collection?"

(see link i sent in last my comment ✌️)

in general it seems like one of those cases where "the critics" are panning it but the actual Bubsy fans think it's fine. In fact i made the point on that review's comments that the reviewer should be reviewing the compilation itself, not the quality of the games, which i think youd agree. it was a whole conversation there.

anyway! the next line in the song is "ive been here for years" so feel free to take my sardonic interpolation at face value 😊👍

@slider1983

"Poorly received? 🤔"

have you ever noticed that you and I look at the exact same information and consistently come to polar opposite conclusions? I think that's interesting. ✌️

@slider1983

it was a pun/joke.

...but yeah imo one poorly received compilation a comeback does not make 😆✌️

its cool if you like Bubsy though! I have fond memories of playing the first game at my 2nd cousin's house on her Sega Channel 😎👍

im pretty sure we can all agree that the atari/intellivision "rivalry" ended... lets just say some time in the past lol.

i already got the controller so im good 👍

@HammerKirby

i agree with everything youve said, here ☝️😊

personally im done buying remakes for the most part as i (almost) never feel they actually improve the game. 👍 if its a game worth "remaking," its worth playing as it originally was.

"We Live In An Age Where Even Bubsy Can Make A Comeback"

don't call it a "comeback."

@HammerKirby

"However they have been as much as a focus until the last 10 years or so"

you arent wrong but this is an extreme understatement. in All-Stars' day, remakes for games were rare and special. ✌️ I used to LOVE them when they did come out because 2D games were actually uncommon for a long time and i was already "old school' as a 12 y.o. PSX owner. ✌️

I miss Software Etc. like an old friend. 😢

@Quick_Man

sure, new remakes and remasters were being announced for last generation games every week on NES, SNES, PSX, and N64. I remember that too. just like now. no different, yup. 👍

@Quick_Man

I can't decipher your post sorry. ✌️

@Quick_Man

"So... never?"

Wrong.

the world was better when companies were more focused on the "next thing" and left our beloved classics well enough alone.

@N00BiSH

you wont miss it lol

(FWIW im actually fond of the trackball and paddle controls on this device 👍 too bad it appears to be built like a device theyd sell at walgreens for 20nbucks.)

Dude, just get a Steam Deck.

@RejectedAng3L

why would i care if someone else buys this after I'm emulating it? 🤔

just because someone is trying to make money off re-publishing these old games doesn't make it more immoral to emulate them. that's my opinion.

especially if they are going to leave out seemingly the more interesting/better half of the ports.

@Daric

"And these devs took inspiration and made a game that looks like the original post, but better"

but not with AI, is that right?

PS - ty! 👍

I've clicked the links and read more than i care to about it, and i still don't really understand what AI has to do with this. w/e.

@RZ-Atom

if you dont know what a word means you can always look it up oh wait you did.

@Bod2019

FWIW rc pro am II is an excellent game 👍👍

@Scollurio

yes, OP believes Rogue came out recently, it seems. 👍✌️

the open mouth. oh no. 😬

to me, this is what a "remaster" is. a game looking as good as it possibly can while sticking to the "script" of the original. 👍

black box mid 90s trilogy (remaster,) vs gold box "special edition" trilogy (remake,) in a nut.

i randomly got a SMB game and watch, and now im looking around at other "ultraportable" handhelds I could slip in my pocket and play whenever.

this sounds like almost a reinvention for the playdate, just in time(?) 😊👍

@Omarzuqo

Not correct.

EDIT - ✌️ Unless you actually meant "Rougelike," in which case, touché.

yup, thats a gba game alright.

music sounds like a dance remix of "Island in the Sun."

pure kayfabe.

do y'all say "arcades?" we tend to always say arcade games.

"I've never been big on customising consoles or handhelds."

says the man with the best looking modded GBA ive ever seen 😅✌️

@BionicDodo

I'd buy a wonderswan clone, and a NGPC clone, absolutely. 👍

indeed, if its gonna be microswitched, the deadzone should be fairly tiny I reckon. on ngpc, i was pulling off fireballs and dragon punches et al with a very light touch on the stick, not even touching the extents of its travel much of the time.

@BionicDodo

ive always wanted to love the NGCD pad, but its never felt quite "right" to me, so i havent bothered to check out the 8bd version, though im always low key tempted.

tbh I think the NGP stick is an improvement over the original, and my dream controller would essentially be a dualshock 3 with NGP stick in place of dpad. 😊

Time Extension

why the NGP's micro switch stick hasn't been copied widely, or at least a little, is a real mystery.

never heard of this game! If i ever get a flash cart for my NGPC I'll check it out, thanks 👍

@RootsGenoa

yet, given the quote, it does seem that both "the company is pointing the finger at Nintendo," and "this issue will also impact the PS4, PS5, and Xbox versions, as the platform holders share similar requirements" are true. 👍

@Martin_H

yeah, that was a little before my time. I'm glad to have missed it, but it seems like it's just one thing after another! my mom was worried about Mortal Kombat, Beavis and Butthead, and "raves" LOL. i think I got off easy. 😅

@PKDuckman

yes, we are backsliding horribly. so many people see the lack of "culture" like you see in this article clipping as "the death of comedy," because they never had a sense of humor in the first place.

OTOH, i mean, what if her face WAS copied from a man's face, and then i was attracted to the same face? 😱 the horror.

I'm curious, is this SEGA endorsed?

if not, how is "VMU" not a SEGA trademark? 🤔

bonus question: does anyone remember what VMUs were called when first announced? I distinctly remember them having another name. I think. 😅

Make a real GameCube type controller, you cowards!

@N00BiSH

wow this is like an early birthday present 🥳 thank you!

(I agree about the graphic design in wipeout! looking back it was very mind expanding for young me, visually, aurally, and even spatially, being my first "real" 3d game. my imagination just went crazy for this game from the moment I first played it at Sears.)

@Exerion76

wipeout was my very first game on my v1 PSX, when I was 10. I turn 40 next month 😱 feels like yesterday I was playing this game in my bedroom, of course with mind thoroughly blown.

cheers!

"I’m literally standing on the shoulders of giants here…"

🙄

"Ready To Feel Really Old?"

no

"WipEout Turns 30 Today"

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-

"the 32-bit console struggled to accurately replicate the grandiose nature of the arcade version"

I'm sure this is true, but I don't remember anyone complaining at the time. what I do remember is people praising the twin stick controller and balking at its price 😆

@SirAileron

"Microsoft got the rights to the Dreamcast's designs, which led to the creation of the Xbox,"

this is good to hear as it supports my existing world view! 😅 AHHHHHHHH feels so good doesn't it? 😂✌️ cheers.

@Flitzpiepe

we have different ways of thinking about it! ✌️ I don't think there are necessarily wrong answers, and I'm so happy that other people even want to think about this kind of stuff 😅

fwiw, I've thought since release it was obvious that numerous specific features unique to the Dreamcast were imitated in the Xbox's design, and too many to chalk up to coincidence or zeitgeist. just my opinion!

tbh the Sidewinder angle does introduce a wrinkle to the story I hadn't really considered. 👍 thanks for chatting with me about one of my favorite topics 😊
