Great to see the Snes getting some new titles, which it deserves. This looks great along with Copperstorm. Would love to see something like Earthion built from the ground up for Snes.

Always wanted a Sharp x68000, but the price of these systems are ridiculous. When this X68000 Z was announced i had high hopes. But as it will never see the light of day in the UK. The price of this thing & the games isnt much cheaper than the real deal.

@h3s its arcade perfect enough for me.

Thank God it happened, have the PAL PlayStation version of Raiden project. Arcade perfect versions as well.

We need more X68000 & MSX2 releases or remasters, especially for Switch 1/2. Personally would love M2 to bring SPACE MANBOW over to modern platforms from the MSX2, amazing game.

Would of bought the new VB for Switch, but i refuse to subscribe to the Nintendo online service for the privilege. All that's created is scalpers buying em up & ripping gamers off!!

Looks amazing, when can we expect a release?

Yes remember going there back in the day, it was brilliant. Also Namco had a similar thing as well.

Great news, Neo CD support 👍

@metaphysician yes I get what your saying, I also have a Steam deck. But I still believe there is a possible market for these foldable screens in the future. And if anyone is likely to bring it mainstream Nintendo is a likely candidate. Hey I could be wrong but its a thought.

@metaphysician yes & no, i have a Switch 2 personally the price really isnt that bad when compared to the likes of the Steam deck & other handhelds. Im sure once someone starts with these foldable screens like the one in this article others will follow.

@breach187 totally agree, surprised Nintendo hasn't gone this route with Switch 2

Personally im surprised Nintendo didn't go this route with Switch 2. Would of been great having the clamshell design again.

As well as having an original Snes, I have a retro freak console. Which does the same thing, I can play my original carts or dump them to SD card. Even better you can then unplug the little console away from the cartridge system & take it on the go.

Very sad news, R.i.P

Sounds amazing, im in, bring back the golden age of gaming with a new magazine.

Solvalou or Starblade, I can dream.

Looks really promising, will keep an eye on this one.

Have this on MAME

@PopetheRev28 yes definitely, love the Megadrive, I also have a Neo CD system. Unfortunately the CD system doesn't get the love it deserves.

@PopetheRev28 yes certainly pushing the Megadrive to new heights. Earthion is another example of amazing coding. With regards to Nintendo i love the Snes also. I sure the Snes could do even more now, in the right hands.

@PopetheRev28 totally agree ZPF is brilliant don't know what he's smoking lol

Would love a console version of Polystars, its about time Konami made it happen.

Wish Sega would bring Daytona, Outrun 2, Scud racer to Switch.

Yes been checking this out on X looks amazing.

@hste you can buy ZPF megadrive carts from Aliexpress.

Yes its brilliant, bought a copy last year

I'll wait for the physical release

@Antman1686 yes they definitely look like a blast. I've got a big back catalogue of stuff. Keep buying but times stretched unfortunately. Like I said Infinos Gaiden is superb, so these should be great and for the price can't grumble.

@Antman1686 to be honest, haven't tried them yet. I never really knew about thsse either. I have Infinos Gaiden on Steam which is stunning.

Yes downloaded to my Switch 2, I also have Infinos Gaiden on Steam deck which is brilliant.

Amazing system, I owned an AES years ago, unfortunately sold it. I invested in buying an arcade cab. I do own a Neo CD top loader though which is still brilliant.

@bring_on_branstons thanks i might invest in buying a copy. I feel exactly the same about VR2, a complete wasted opportunity from Sony especially.

Personally still prefer the Megadrive version, always found the SGX version to fast, making it even tougher. If Sega had given the conversion a bigger meg cartridge the Megadrive version would of been even better.

@bring_on_branstons im glad someone agrees about VR2. Unfortunately some on a lot of these forums are in denial & get aggressive when I say negative things about it lol. I sold mine on, im done with VR certainly from Sony anyways. Talking about Ghosts of Yotei is it any good, to be honest not the biggest fan of open world stuff. Find em overwhelming & time consuming lol. But it does look incredible.

@bring_on_branstons yeah completely agree, unfortunately Sony & Nintendo are getting complacent. Nintendo with key cards, for me Sony are the worst. I spent over 500 quid on VR2 which again they have basically abandoned it. Its a brilliant piece of kit but support is practically non existent. I love Astrobot, when they announced it would be flat only, I knew then they had no faith in the device they created!! Again i feel the arrogance from Sony & the attitude they seem to have. And don't get me started on PS5 pro, lol. Yes in my ideal world Sega, NEC, Nintendo would still be king. Thankfully I love retro gaming more than modern. And I own all the legacy systems from way back.

@bring_on_branstons I agree to a certain extent, but in my opinion Xbox hasn't been competition to Sony since 360. Would be nice to see a new competitor come along like Sony did back with the PS1. Or maybe Microsoft will turn things around.

@Protion9 yep such a shame it never happened.

Brilliant magazine, along with GameFan, unfortunately no decent mags nowadays except for Retrogamer.

Absolutely incredible, wish this tech had seen the light of day. The 8bit micro would of lasted even longer.

Not sure about the white, i have an original Vectrex. I doubt this mini system will deliver the vector monitor experience.

Amazing gsme, shows how brilliant the Snes is, the music alone is a masterpiece. Thankfully still have a PAL boxed copy

Looks pretty cool, luckily I have an original Vectrex.Such an amazing system. Nothing will simulate the vector monitor though. I have emulations but its not the same.

Had this on Amiga, its an ok shooter, but still needed refining. Every shmup on Amiga was unbalanced, poor level design, hopefully this will be sorted out for this remaster.

@AllieKitsune both the Engine & Snes have amazing shooters. Lords, gates of Thunder are prime examples of incredible horizontal games. Aero blasters, Rtype. The Snes had lazy programming regardless of its slower cpu. Super Aleste, Rendering rangers, Macross, Spriggan powered, all run without added chips in the carts. Back to the article yes the Megadrive is incredible for sure i love it. But the 16bit gen overall was/is brilliant. Thats the point I'm making.

Yes i was going to preorder last week, i thought they were that popular, they sold out. Obviously not the case. Well at least I didn't miss out

@AllieKitsune definitely along with PC Engine & Snes.

Great article, brilliant game on a brilliant console. The 16bit era is definitely the golden age of videogaming in my opinion. How many consoles have amazing new games developed for them at 37 years old. No modern consoles will have this privilege I'm sure. Great to hear they plan on making more

What a load of nonsense, however this game was made its incredible. I very much doubt AI was used though. Just great coding with an amazing soundtrack.

Unfortunately the Megadrive version should of been released first. I bought the Steam version & enjoying playing it on Steam deck. I have already preordered physical Switch version with custom joypad. Will definitely buy the Megadrive version when its up. Unfortunately I knew the rom would get out there.
