@JJtheTexan this dude’s NES is more enhanced than its games running a Game Genie 😂

New MTV series on the way called Pimp My Console. I’d watch. Seriously, that’d be awesome.

I love it! NES is probably my favorite console ever and it’s so cool to see all these options for our old trusty hardware. I mostly play NES on my AVS these days, or even my mini PC (gasp!), but this is SWEET. Thanks for posting!

@Ks123 LRG releases routinely go to VGP, so you could always check back with them about the Marvel collection.

People like to challenge themselves, develop and apply new skills. Anyone online saying what you do is a waste of time shouldn’t be taken seriously.

I have a handful of digital and analog subtractive synthesizers. I often enjoy challenging myself to recreate (or port) patches from one to the next to see how close I can get them, and often need to for live performance, where I’ll take the digital jack-of-all instruments with me and leave the analog synths in the studio.

New bugs aside, and maybe I missed something, but seems like general complaining. Even if these costumes are terrible. Did I miss something? Either way, these remasters seem to be not the highest in quality.

Thanks, didn’t want to think that time is passing, “absolutely not” because why would that hurt someone’s feelings? Weird statement.

I’ll just hook up my PS2 with my copy. A remake wouldn’t deliver the same classic experience which is what I think people are after.

If anything, port the arcade game and make a collection like the recent MaXimum collection and I’d probably pick it up!

@BulkSlash after I got my PlayStation, Burning Road was the first game I bought with my own money for it apart from what came with it at Christmas. I think I had gotten Crash Bandicoot and The Lost World: Jurassic Park. I loved BR at the time, having played Daytona USA on a friend’s Saturn. Having rebought it as an adult, it hits the nostalgia notes but it’s pretty bad. Could have been great!

@h3s interesting, thanks for sharing!

@h3s i'm with you on the Hamster basic ROMs being good enough for me. curious, digital eclipse on Xbox but not on PS or N? can you please elaborate? i have a handful of DE retro releases, so maybe i missed something.

@MR883 i hear you that there would be some that are upset, but even with good ports, when aren't there? lol. i'd rather get a competent barebones port at a fair price because i want to play the games and encourage more releases to follow. i'll take the features if they add them, and this leads me to my next item. i don't think i care if there was a better collection in 2005 on PS2, or an online version which probably had more input lag and horrible display options in 2011. shrug

i just want the games to get an official release from SEGA so i can play them with friends and family. if they end up on a game card as a collection of games, even better.

@AdamGibson I see your point, but I don’t personally care about online play, leaderboards, servers, etc. All they’d need to do is get the ROM running on Switch and I’m happy to pay a fair price. Or…I’ll continue to play it elsewhere. But an official SEGA release for so many of these underserved games would be exciting. I wish they’d let Hamster Corporation release their arcade and console games.

Hmm. I don’t care who this character is so long as the gameplay and atmosphere feel like Castlevania. I don’t need or want the life story, or motivations in a game like this. I want a pick up and play experience like the best in the series. I really hope it’s a game I’ll complete and immediately begin NG+ because it was so enjoyable to PLAY.

If there are serious story beats in this, I hope they’re skippable and non intrusive to the gameplay. I’m probably in the minority but after Aria of Sorrow I really lost interest in Castlevania. I had a tough time completing Dawn of Sorrow which at some point felt like a chore to play, along with the later Iga games. I enjoyed Ritual of the Night, but it didn’t feel like the game I wanted, though it was overall excellent. I guess I compartmentalize late Iga and Bloodstained as an offshoot series and not mainline Castlevania. I love the Curse of the Moon games, though.

“We’re working on a fix,” followed by other corporate damage control social post. Always the same hollow apologies.

Sounds like you already blew it, lol.

Sad this practice will never change.

Them: Just patch it, or not. Who cares.

I love Cadash and its console ports. I don’t have an Evercade but I’m happy with Taito Milestones 3 on Switch and ACA Neo Geo—I believe it’s volumes 7 and 8 that contain Puzzle Bobble 1 & 2.

@cyxceven sounds like the Streisand Effect in action, if I’m not mistaken.

@Hordak the lack of stock gray seems an odd omission to me too. I wonder what N thinks of all these one off FPGA clone consoles.

@Sketcz art needs to stop imitating life for a while 😅

Generate my enthusiasm. Or was that lifted, too?

If it’s not spying and selling my personal information I don’t want it.

@janineking I wish that I could make her see…

Are you THE Janine King of Blue Stinger fame? I love that game and my buddies always made fun of me, lol. Time for a refreshing Hassy.

Thanks for reporting, but I wish for YouTube embeds instead of X. I’ll get over it 😅Looking forward to hearing more about the game!

It was me. I made it all up.

@Grackler Lol, love the Samus Belmont comment! Had a chuckle.

Space Invaders, okay. Put it in Taito Milestones 5 and take my money.

Definitely could be better… 3 was the pinnacle for me. Looking forward to Arkanoid and Ninja Kids.

@Raddle yes, good points. And $50 less is a nice deal for early adopters. I’ll take it!

Would’ve loved the option of one of these, but I pre-ordered my black unit in October 2024. I’m a bit miffed as an early adopter. No way I’m dropping more money on another. Analogue should have offered this option up front.

@JJtheTexan lucky! It looks like a really good collection but I just want the original arcade game on Taito Milestones 4. You made a perfect list so let’s hope it happens.

@Fraba @JJtheTexan I just played the Arkanoid arcade cab this weekend and have the NES game and vaus controller but I’d love a modern rerelease and spinner controller on the switch.

Also, Space Invaders needs to happen on Milestones 4. I’m not spending $70 on that one low print run collection. 👍

I hear the development team used frog DNA to complete the code.

Put this on a Switch game card and take my money! This is so up my alley.

I am excite.

@Sketcz I love the sentiment but I think you were hearing from a SEGA executive. It’s 2025 and Revenge of Death Adder has never come to a home console. Sadness 😰

@Razieluigi thank you! Will look into it soon.

GTA III was incredible when it released. I didn’t really enjoy 3D games before this one. This and Vice City have never been topped, in my opinion.

My Everdrive is a v1 from 2015, before the X versions were made. Since it’s older, will it work? Can anyone here confirm? I should have the 3D this weekend.

Can’t wait to see Doom, no Crysis, run on this thing 😂

9/9/99 was a Dream

Thanks for the review! Having this back then would have been amazing.

I miss the manuals… but I do have some stellar modern collections of games that have digital scans for some of them at least. I return to my retro games and admire the box art, play details on the back, and labels or graphic logos on carts or discs. The manuals are a fun trip! Better get the readers out 😅

Like another poster, I had GT on PS1, and the manure ridiculous! I miss the documentation coming with the games as standard.

First batch here in the states. FYI my taxes + shipping were $43.

@cdog555 came here to type this but you got here first 😂

LET’S GO AWAAAAY, LET’S GO AWAAAY

@mjparker77 when I’m not playing, it’s nice to still enjoy my consoles on the nearby shelf. I too sometimes question myself.

Can’t wait to play the finished game when it’s available. Thanks for the review!

Got a shipping email. It should be here next week.

Reminds me of when Dante and Randall bought and reopened the Quick Stop 😂

I’m hopeful that Acclaim will release some fun indie games. Some of them in that sizzle reel looked like they could be a good time.

@smoreon this is it, exactly! 👍

@h3s I understand. It’s nice to have some options for some of these games at least.

A while ago I bought an 8-card changer that clips on to the dock. I play docked only, so it’s perfect for my setup. It holds 8 games and you can switch between them with a simple push button. It’s kind of ridiculous but it allows me to enjoy my physical copies and if I wanted I could make a little switch arcade cab even with my carts some day. It was inexpensive but I’ve only seen the 4-cart changer for sale in the last several months.

@smoreon I think cheat codes in modern games are sorely missing. BRING THEM BACK!

Always a fun distraction when the time is right with a beloved game.

@Zeebor15 thanks for posting that history lesson for me! I didn’t know a handful of those company origins.

Gonna need a few moments to let it all blast process… 😅

@h3s Ninja Commando is awesome! If you’re looking, it did get a switch physical copy as part of a collection, ACA NEOGEO Archives Volume 4, including:
Art of Fighting 3
The King of Fighters 2000
The Last Blade
Metal Slug
Neo Geo Cup ’98: The Road to the Victory
Ninja Commando
Pulstar
Puzzled
Ragnagard
The Super Spy

They’ll be back.

Arnie smile

@MysticWangForce I’m finding myself want this game the more you drop the announcer’s quips 😂 might have to check this one out.
