@Thad USA has been mentioned several times. But it's an irrelevant comparison.

This is the Saudi state we're talking about which owns SNK. The US government does not own a game company. I'd be perfectly fine if SNK was owned by a Saudi individual with no ties to the government.

Sega Gaga was a surprise. Maybe they've started paying attention because of the translation efforts as of late?

@Sketcz to be clear, I'd rather they write about SNK and ModRetro, but boycotting one while turning a blind eye to the other is dishonest.

@slider1983 that's the point. Either start covering ModRetro again while also writing about SNK, or boycott both.

@Sketcz You say this, but this website has taken a stand against ModRetro, and SNK's owners Saudia Arabia have far worse atrocities on their resume.

I don't mind TE writing about SNK, what I do mind is the hypocrisy.

@HoyeBoye Apple Pippin is the kind of system they'd release support for on April's fools, in a "yeah it's a joke but it actually works" kind of way.

So TE is boycotting ModRetro while promoting Saudi-owned SNK, when Saudia Arabia is committing literal war crimes in Yemen? Hypocritical!

@Hairlesswookiee I agree it would be cool to see more love for the Jag, but considering the Jag had the Atari joystick port, they could theoretically support playing Jag CD games with Jag controllers thanks to the Mega Drive and the 2600/7800 module today with a software update.

But the again, very few games were released for the Jag CD add on...

@KGRAMR No need for a Jag CD module, the Polymega comes with a CD module already.

The last five years have given us more DC goodness than the 20 years before it, which started just after the DC was canceled.

And it looks like there's no end in sight!

@Hexapus and there were repercussions for Microsoft. But not for Sony. So how is that fair?

In a functioning society, companies like that would get punished by heavy fines and sanctions, but not in Japan.

Virtua Racing is a great example of how M2 takes a several decades old game and really makes the ultimate version of it, in ways fans never even dared to ask for.

Too bad it was only released for the Switch.

Impressive work.

Aquanaut sholiday?

They're truly doing the Lord's work. Making these games available to everyone is truly a great purpose, and I hope they know this.

I say everyone, but even I who have learned computers the hard way (being given one many years ago, at age 11 and immediately being expected to be the IT support for the entire extended family) get gray hairs trying to install it.

Still excited for future releases though, especially considering they've now begun to include more advanced 3D games. In their own pace, of course.

@PopetheRev28 because consoles don't have DRM..?

@Chocoburger it sounds impressive, because it is. Crunch is still a thing even today.

I know we're comparing apples to oranges, but I miss the days when a sequel took two years to make. Now, we're fifteen years after Skyrim and still years away from TES 6. Not like I have the time anyway...

I guess these games are too demanding for my Xbox One X.

JoshProd is doing the Lord's work.

@Sketcz Please do!

I'm still amazed by how fast everything went in the 90's. This presentation happened in 96, and would possibly have lead to one the biggest releases of that generation, but it was canned. And yet, two years later (!) they released a AAA game for the Dreamcast!

So in two years time after this cancelation, they had managed to create a huge release from scratch for an entirely new next-generation platform. That's insane. And what's more insane, Sonic X-Treme and Sonic Adventure look like they were made a decade apart.

Very cool to see Jenovi back! Missed him!

@N64-ROX check out Retro Fighters Hunter.

I like it. I was more entertained by that movie than I was watching The Wheel of Time which she should be more ashamed about.

People thinking Nintendo A: will sue, and B: will win, is hitting the copium bottle hard.

This is huge nothingburger. Ordinary people won't care. If anything, it's a little cringe to use a twenty years old game as a meme, but whatever.

@SegaMania that'd make sense. Strange that it wasn't mentioned in the article.

And no Ryo Hazuki driving a forklift. Shame.

PPSSPP is a great emulator that goes miles and miles beyond what you expect emulators to do. I have it on my Meta Quest 3 and play PSP games in VR! Like not just a "big screen mode" but actually transforming the games into VR games.

If this a placeholder as an early beta version and they'll be replacing all the text in the future, that's great.

If they consider this the full version, that's not as great but at least we Anglophones will get to play some sort of version of this legendary game.

@The_Nintendo_Expat have you seen the boot screen?

Is the file called Rockman.exe?

I hate walking around with merch, but this was surprisingly classy and tasteful.

"The latter ran from 1993 to 1998 (with a short gap between 1995 and 1998)", so basically just between 1993 and 1995?

Can someone explain why they release it for the PS4 but not X1?

Still better support than Mass Effect 3 on PC (it cut away a lot of the menus when in Ultra wide).

I would very much like Sega Rally 2006, please and thank you.

Speaking of, what happened to the Dream Color Plus?

I was interested in the Analogue 3D, but not having openFPGA ruined it for me. Can't wait to read Time Extension's review of the M64.

Pretty cool! It's always fascinating to see developers really push such limited systems to their absolute maximum capacity in terms of pseudo 3D.

@Right_Said_Brett you're probably right, but it still sticks out.

Read Only Memo is a great blog, too bad it's not updated that often.

The Dream lives on.

Sony Ericsson, actually.

I love Shenmue, but I never understood why there was a Saturn in the game. Doesn't Shenmue take place in 1986?

The Dreamcast one was really nice.

@N-MCMXCIX and speaking of cars, enthusiasts occasionally replace the entire engine of a car if it's beyond repair, either an old but functionable engine but also completely new engines or electric engines. I wouldn't be surprised if we see more of that in the retro gaming world, replace the faulty innards of an NES with an FPGA board for example.

We already see this happening to Gameboys.

@hste or you know, you could let people who enjoy those things simply enjoy them.

What's a redifer, anyway?

Trip Hawkins was interviewed in a great episode of the Arcade Attack podcast too, deeply recommended.
