It's just criminal especially how successful the Snes was. That no dev tools are available to take advantage of the hardware.

@RetroGames I'm with you 100%

@RetroGames it's funny how other retro systems get the homebrew indie scene but not the Snes. Personally the Snes is my favourite console ever. Would love to see new shmups exploiting the hardware.

Looks fantastic, really wish devs would start showing love for the Super Nintendo. And start pushing the boundaries.

Again Amazing times, for me one of the best because the arcade scene and console conversions were still king, from Ridge to Starblade. Namco should bring Starblade to PSVR 2 !!

It's about time the Snes had some serious homebrew/indie developed games. Still lots of untapped power in the beast.

In my collection I own a lot of legacy hardware and software. But mostly now i play emulation for convenience. I use a Retron 5, Retro trio, raspberry pi builds. CoinopsX on my cab. A mini pc loaded with awesome stuff. So this polymega idea seems worthless to me, the original polymega sounds brilliant if you can get or afford one. But this new take on it, no.

@KingMike definitely will be keeping an eye on this one

Brilliant game, still have original cart

Looks amazing please bring to Switch:)

Thank God I never invested in this system, looked really promising. But now I believe this thing won't ever see the light of day, or D.O.A.

If it wasn't coming out on physical, I would of bought it by now. But will wait a few weeks for the hard copy. To good a game to download!!

System was canned to early in my opinion. Sega should of stuck with it. Such a shame its still a brilliant console. Which is still in my collection luckily.

Polybius on PSVR is amazing, would love to see this come to PSVR 2. The extra resolution would look even more incredible:)

Looks stunning will this get a physical release though. Very doubtful Nintendo will have the lawyers out lol 😆 😜

Have Rtype final 2 on Switch, I'm a sucker for the franchise so will no doubt buy this new version.

Releasing the console in the UK at an affordable price would be great news, and being able to get hold of one.

Personally I love em all, SOR3 is a damn good game in my opinion. Yes 2 is the best, but 3 still holds up.

Amazing games, Amazing Box art.

Great news love Raiden 3, would be great to see the Raiden fighters jet series as well. Only had a 360 release if I remember correctly.

Would be great, but very unlikely.

Luckily I own a PC Engine Duo R, incredible system. So many amazing shoot em ups

Great side scrolling beat em up, a hidden gem really.

@RetroGames totally agree 👍

It was DOA anyway.

Absolutely ridiculous, these books are beautiful quality. Celebrating these amazing systems. Cant believe Sega would be so stupid to be silly about this. They should welcome a tribute to one of there best consoles ever.

Without a doubt sounds exciting, hopefully they can learn from Sarah Jane Avory. The level designs are spot on in Zeta wing and Soul force easily the best shmups on the C64.

Luckily i own the original version of Rondo, also I have an amazing repro of Sapphire which really ia close to the original.

Looks great, but the Megadrive obviously has a big indie scene pushing the system further and further. If the Snes had this I'm sure it could do even more incredible stuff.

@GlasgowGuy totally agree with you mate, can't stand these pay to play services. Nintendo do the same instead of a one of payment for Snes, Nes, N64 you have to pay monthly for the privilege, no thanks.

@Beerheadgamer82 thanks for the heads up, still a shame though. I just Don't use the PlayStation enough to warrant the subscription.

Sounds brilliant, but I wish Sony would give us the option of buying the game with a one off payment. Not having to sign up to a service.

Super Castlevania, on Snes will always be my favourite. Absolute classic in every way to me.

And yet another amazing article, love RARE especially back then. Still can't believe Nintendo let them go to Microsoft. They really seemed the perfect match for tech and innovation.

And this people is why this is and always will be the best generation of gaming. Pure CLASSICS !! And that's just the Megadrive, combined with the Snes, just magic !!!

@BloodNinja totally agree absolutely love Gleylancer. Another gem is Eliminate down maybe you have played it.

Gradius V, Rtype final, Raiden 3, Silpheed lost planet, Ridge racer V. Great system some amazing games:)

What an amazing micro, have a lovely original 48K rubber keyed system in my collection. Incredible times. Also have a C64. These machines and the bedroom coders of the day basically created the industry we know today.

What an amazing article, amazing exciting times that will never be experienced again. I feel sorry for those who think digital downloads are the future. Basically if you were there you'll know if you weren't pay attention. The PC Engine was the whole start of what was to come. Then the Megadrive, Snes, Neo. Will never forget how exciting it was to receive my Japanese import systems and games for the first time, magical days, gaming from this era will never be replicated.

OMG!! Very sad news indeed what a Legend of the industry.

Will always remember the first trailers for this game it looked amazing. Thought it was going to have awesome combat, incredible set pieces. Unfortunately the finished product was nothing like it. Maybe a sequel could rectify all the wrong doings and design it around the original concept.

Was going to buy one of these, but trying to get hold of one is like gold dust.

Dreamcast 128 bit or not still legendary:) with regards to wiimote im lucky, have an amazing mini pc built for retrogaming. Full wiimote control with sensor bar. So able to play loads of gun games from various platforms. Even Sega model 1,2,3

If you love all school shooters you'll love this. Just amazing from the gameplay, stunning pixel art, brilliant soundtrack. Certainly happy its in my collection.

Lovely looking system, being a big retro gamer I will have to get one eventually.

Very sad news, another legend passes from the golden age of gaming

Looks and sounds stunning:)

@RetroGames totally agree mate, those mags seem like they were designed by gamers passionate about what they were doing. Unfortunately they aren't still around. With regards to Edge I used to buy it every month without fail. But after a while I realised there reviews were far to harsh. Probably missed out on a lot of games, listened to them far to much. I have just bought calisto protocol to be honest loving it, but its getting a rough deal.

Very interesting article, Mean Machines probably the best magazine ever. Amazing times with the 16bit consoles gaining momentum this was the perfect read every month:)

One of my favourite shooters on the Engine and there are plenty. Along with Lords and Gates of thunder, Sapphire, but as a Hu card game this is the best 👌
