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.

"Ronnie Romero" up next.

I've been thinking about ordering this but since I have a VM2 I waited for actual reviews to see if it's a worthwhile upgrade and this review made me pull the trigger, shame new orders will be delivered in March.

The community owes krikzz a huge gratitude.

@Say_Yas looks like a generic 9-pin port like Sega Mega Drive and Atari 2600 used, among many others. Shouldn't be a big deal to make three-button Mega Drive controllers compatible.

And once again they release a game for the PS4 and PS5, but not X1 even though they release it also for XSX. I doubt my X1X would struggle with this title. (Yes it's old but I play 95% on my PC so upgrading makes little sense.)

"I'm genuinely sorry for the backlash"

Cool! I remember wanting to play this game back when I had the NGPC, which by now is almost 25 years ago.

Back in the day mapmakers would sometime draw an island or something on their maps that didn't exist in the real world, because if anyone plagiarized their maps they would know it, with the result that people for hundreds of years thought some islands actually existed when they never did.

I started thinking of that when one of the clues in this case the original artist having mistakenly made a logo wrong, but that made the plagiarism easier to spot. Too bad if we can't have accurate logos for fear of plagiarism.

I don't know man, that demo looked pretty creepy. Get a real child, pet or friend instead.

Same functionality as the Memcard Pro?

Ageism is a very peculiar problem in Japan when historically people were hired for life in exchange for loyal devotion, maybe that is changing?

Very interesting! Really answered some of the questions I've had for years.

@BionicDodo well there was this guy called "Multi Game System" on FB among other platforms who teased a portable of his own design with a clicky NGPC thumbstick and six action buttons a couple of years ago, but he has since scrapped that idea apparently, he only builds miniature Gamecube and arcade cabinets these days.

@The_Nintendo_Pedant good on you for being open minded and not a bigot, but I gotta say it's pretty weird of your mom to be looking for trans and black people to be bringing home to her little kid.

@Carck With all due respect, the amount of NES sold Sweden was as many as both Master System and NES in Spain, with Spain having a population five times as big.

Nintendo Game & Watch sold much more in Sweden than in Germany even (according to Swedish distributor Bergsala, Scandinavia was the biggest G&W market after Japan), meaning those devices are still very common here on flea markets and such places.

@Polvasti Exactly, it's wild to think that Sweden was a bastion of Nintendo games even during the G&W period, and that the relationship with Nintendo and the local distribution company Bergsala was so close that Sweden almost received an official release of the Famicom there, but in the last minute Nintendo changed their mind and redesigned the console for the North American launch, but still granted Bergsala the first launch of the NES in Europe, meaning Sweden was the first European country to receive the NES.

Everyone in Sweden had an NES back then, but from what I gather it was not as dominant elsewhere in Europe.
