@-wc- these days I mostly play on a 32” LED and in 4:3 that’s perfect for me a couple feet away 👍 when I had my CRTs, 13-27” was perfect!! Had 13, 19, and 27s throughout the years. For me 19” was probably the sweet spot, while the 27 was pure luxury 😂

@PinballBuzzbro are you talking about Genesis game Sagaia? If so, I have that and LOVE that game. I’m so bad at it though but I keep going back!!

This is pretty cool but I don’t think I’d want want to play the games on such a gigantic screen since you’d have to physically turn and shift your whole body to play and it may be harder to track what’s ahead of you as you play. I’d love to see it in person though! I’d be the buddy who came home with the story, lol.

Think I saw this on a cursed controllers subreddit

😳

@KitsuneNight Haha I like it! 😊 I can’t believe what I’m reading up there 😳😱😂

@AJB83 Genesis vs. Mega Drive: the REAL console war!!

@HammerGalladeBro I don’t have many games for it, but Virtua Racing Deluxe is a really great time on 32X. Tempo is fun as well.

@poyo_pie I don’t think Sir Daniel Fortesque was knee-capped like Joel, but I do think he was beheaded if I’m remembering right. 😃

Medievil is one of my favorite PlayStation games. The art direction, mood and voice acting are way up there for me, and its sense of humor too! The stage design feels like a character all its own. Lots of fun memories with this one and still enjoying my PS1 copy. Never played the PS4 remake. Is it any good? 😊

LOL it just keeps going. I so want to like this thing.

Mallrats stands out to me as one of the most ‘90s pieces of media I can recall in my own life. I love the film’s utter stupidity and its heart all the same. My cousins and I rented the VHS shortly after it came to video stores, not having any expectations. Boy did we laugh!!! I recently enjoyed The 4:30 Movie, Smith’s latest. It’s worth a watch!

@-wc- Ex-Mutants is a good time with cheesy characters and tight gameplay, memorable music and sound effects. Level designs are also not too shabby. It definitely has a so bad it’s good vibe, but I fully embrace that and it’s why I continue to replay it!!

@-wc- You’re welcome! Colors on reimagined hardware like the Retro AVS are quite faithful to the NES, and it has that sort of slightly pre-yellowed shell haha.

When I compared the DMG to an original GB, it looks more like a cheap knockoff that your parent or grandparent might be fooled into getting you lol.

In 1993 I asked my dad for X-Men on Genesis, and on Christmas morning we opened up Ex-Mutants!!! 😂 I was super disappointed at the time but it turns out that I play Ex-Mutants way more than the X-Men game these days - I think it’s a better game overall and I spent so much time with it. I later got X-Men and I enjoyed it but it’s not as good.

@-wc- the colors on this are kinda pukey compared to the GameBoy!

@owenmitts yeah, playing to strengths could be a good path for a MD arrangement 👍 FM does what it does, analog waveforms and modulation do what they do, early low bit samples have their very own timbres. I love them all haha

I love both sound chips, and all these old consoles have something great to offer in the sound department, and they all have their own flavor that gives them a unique identity.

This console war could go on forever, but when I want orchestrated strings, samples, and reverb I’ll take SNES. When I want farty, metallic synths, punchy compressed drums, and the spirit of the arcade, I’ll take Genesis. They’re all excellent! Amazing music has been made with both 👍

Watched the yt video, and some of these jerseys look pretty cool, while some of the models look pretty scary! lol SFII 4 LYFE 😃👍

@BulkSlash wow, I didn’t know 32X was so expensive now! I think I got mine 12 years ago in box for about $40-50 with the OEM SEGA power adapter and Genesis link cable. I remember those being tricky to find with the 32X. Virtua Racing is still so good, and I enjoyed Doom too. Got that CIB on eBay for just a few bucks. Crazy prices now 😳

Tempo is also quite fun.

This would be cool to have, but I’d barely use the 32X functionality. I love the shell design though. Very slick ‘90s styling.

I’d rather play the CDX or JVC X’Eye. Would be cool if SEGA had made an all-in-one though. Considering the amount of released hardware that will play Genesis games, I’m honestly surprised they didn’t. That would have been one more SEGA mistake I’d have snatched up!!

No wonder I never knew about this game in the ‘90s…

SUPERSEGA DOES!!!

not succeed 😱

Just played through the demo, then over to the TG-16 version, then to the arcade original in MAME, and I can say this: the gameplay in this genesis port is so responsive and it feels perfect. The graphics and animations are top notch and match the arcade but somehow look better. The color work is really well done, and the Genesis sound chip doing its metallic FM fartiness sounds great. The voice/audio samples are ported from the arcade version (when you hit enemies with a weapon you get the extremely satisfying bowling ball knocking down pins sound), as is the rest of the stage intro graphics, etc.

I like the TG-16 more than the arcade version, but this, if completed, will be the definitive way to play this game. I hope they're able to do so! If so, I'll be looking for a hard copy to complete my Genesis trilogy. In the meantime, I'm going to head back over to itch and donate to the project. If you like Splatterhouse (the first game's levels are definitely my favorite, along with the music) then this is for you! I'm by no means any good at the games, but I really enjoy them and keep going back for more fun!

@NinChocolate That’s awesome!! I’m hoping to try out this demo tomorrow.

Count ‘em down. 5 days to pre-order. 5…4…3…2…1.

I honestly can’t wait to see what the update says on November 5.

Happy Halloween! 🎃

Man, I need to gtfo and go play some video games ✌️😎

Uhh…I want to like this but what’s with the cuts while booting up every game? Something is definitely strange about this “live” demo. Don’t trust it. Hopefully we get more clarification soon.

Also, just for some fun, did this guy take lessons in fake gaming on camera from The Wizard? 😃

Magician Lord is beautiful and crazy hard but I always enjoy going back to it. Will follow this port to SuperGrafx!

I hope to play this when it’s complete. Iirc the dev has started a racing game while this is not yet finished.

@Razieluigi very well said, dude! 👍

Months of press with only a prototype shell, an interview that fails to help legitimize the project, blurry photo, blurry video in an age of pro level camera phones, PCB incomplete. No official blessing from SEGA. But…all for $3.

Bubsy voice: What could possibly go wrong??

I’ll probably get one. Hoping that small irritations on the Duo like the controller light blinking will be addressed… I ended up just using a factory wired gamepad. Either way, cool news!

I loved Astalon and I hope this will come to Switch!

@Razieluigi Yes, I’m VERY excited to play the Haunted Castle remake!! But I know, like you said, don’t expect anything.

I’m also playing through a handful of CV games: just finished Aria of Sorrow, Castlevania Chronicles, working on SCIV and SotN. I want to replay Bloodstained RotN later this fall. Currently also working on the new Abathor in mp, which borrows some from Castlevania.

Every time I see a Castlevania headline my hopes are shattered. I don’t care about this show but am happy plenty are enjoying it. I just want a new game, Konami. Please!!! Also, ReBirth on all modern platforms would certainly be a nice treat.

@Kushan I’m thinking maybe it’s just a good faith positive thing that happened in the scene. I think it’s worth a mention. 😎✌️

I played the first gen titles as they came out, and I think nostalgia aside I enjoyed 2013 reboot the most out of all I’ve played. After that, I really didn’t care for the other two mainline games. I wonder what’s next!

Well I NEVER!!! 😱

I always knew that Nintendo seemed a little off. Lol kidding

@HammerGalladeBro so you don’t have to carry a smartphone in one of your hands while you ride it…

I have seen so many kids on bikes while staring at a phone screen. Wtf?!! Lol

A new aquarium top that doubles as a Dreamcast? I’m in for $3. Just picked up a drivable Game Boy with handlebars for 16k…this is a STEAL 😃

I burst out laughing as I read the title of this article, and was simultaneously thinking how rad this is 😎 it is very cool that this bike exists, but it’s not for me!

@KitsuneNight I’m hoping for MORE new sonic games. I know I’ve missed a couple decent games, but I lost interest in Sonic after the Dreamcast. Luckily there’s a little hope in reviving some of the legacy games and yes, likely repackaging the Genesis games…I’d love some late arcade releases in a collection. Looking at some of the PS2 Japan exclusives, the Sega Ages games look really fun. They could clean some of those up and I’m interested.

Was just playing this on my turbo duo this weekend. I was wondering what it would be like on Genesis!

I’m interested in Splatterhouse and also the Final Fight port to MD/Genesis!

@-wc- I would assume you’d need to pop in the cart each time to play them even though they mostly came downloaded from a server. I would think of it just like a PlayStation 4 or 5 disc, even though the data transmits from the cart on each use during play on Switch (I think). If I hover over game tiles on Switch it’ll display a little grayed out cart if it’s a physical cart game. If downloaded from eshop, you can launch without a cart inserted.

Edit: this got me thinking of account issues I recently had going back to play some 360 disc games. I was experiencing trouble “logging in” and I’m pretty sure I couldn’t even play an offline disc copy of a game I’ve had for many years. Will the same account barrier occur on Switch? If so, then “buying” a physical copy of any game is kind of pointless. I wonder will account issues block you from playing your own library of games after Switch is retired?

To clarify, I’m referring to the console account login, NOT an online feature from a game menu. Like when you pop in a Switch cart and before it launches, it asks “who’s playing?” I have two player accounts on my Switch.

I usually buy physical if I can, but 5 years ago or so, I decided I was pretty much done with disc games except a few I’d like to have for a little display box. Currently I only buy switch physical copies, and most often I buy Nintendo games or smaller independent titles, where it’s usually relatively safe to assume that the game, or most of it, is on the cart. But I also sometimes think it’s a waste… and am not sure which route to go.

@Cyber_Akuma this is exactly the kind of thing I was getting at, but I didn't know that trivia about Melee. Cool!

@Lanmanna Yes, I read the article.

Joke attempt missed. Was trying to have a bit of fun.

@-wc- ya Jerk!

He hates these cans!!! 😂✌️

Nintendo for 29 years: We don’t acknowledge Virtual Boy

Nintendo 2024: We’ll do anything for a buck, and we’ve just emptied your bank account 😃👍

I enjoyed Burnout 2 and 3 a lot. Can’t remember which I had when it was new.

Collision in the comments today!!! 😳
