@PKDuckman how recently were these online lobbies active?

I’ve got a handful of old magazines, guidebooks, and modern homage hardbacks and retrospectives.

I’ll be sticking with my 2014 copy, but it’s cool for anyone that missed a print run or is just getting into SEGA. I paid about $50 USD in 2014, btw (someone above mentioned something about price).

Shame that material had to be cut though. It doesn’t feel like classic SEGA without Ecco, and not that I play it often, but it was absolutely company defining back in the ‘90s, and completely unique.

Games companies really don’t understand how impactful coming out of nowhere is with a solid announcement of a new game, due out in 2-3 months time can be. The drip feed on social media is lame. This reads more as “don’t forget us!” Or “I want attention” a complete throwaway post. Like most.

This looks to be fun! With all these unofficial games and the Bloodstained series I still can’t believe Konami won’t hire a studio to make the next Castlevania game… sadness.

@RootsGenoa That sounds pretty cool 👍 I’d play that!

@PinballBuzzbro +1 for WolfChild!

@Moroboshi876 in the states, so unfortunately I’m not sure about shipping to the EU. That Amazon Japan shipping per game is brutal!

@Moroboshi876 hmm good to know, but I usually wait and buy a few games from playasia or VGP at a time so shipping is free. I’m pretty good at spending juuust enough to meet their shipping waiver for games I was going to get down the line anyways.

@Moroboshi876 physical copies available to ship from playasia with multi-language version:

I’m planning on buying this one in the coming weeks.

Wow, that’s expensive. I already have a handful of ports of Doom though.

@PopetheRev28 they did.

“Hey, this isn’t even shipping, but when it fails, try this! Super easy—barely an inconvenience!!”

(Yes, I’m joking!)

I want this to be a great product. Might have to get one myself someday 👍

@Axelay71 lol will do!! I NEED that slowdown 😂👍

@AstraeaV I’ll take anything that isn’t a mobile game at this point.

Just got the Dominus Collection in the mail finally and been enjoying it so far 👍

Hire a passionate studio to make a new game already!!! Pleeeeeeease!! 😜

WELCOME TO THE NEXT LEVEL

Do consoles even have slogans anymore? If so, none come to mind. The last I really recall is PS3’s advertising.

Also Konami, please, please, for parity sake, patch in Rewind on the first Castlevania Anniversary Collection!!!

It’s not a feature I would have thought I’d miss but now with the later collections having it…it’d be nice. And I’d say that the early games are the toughest!!

I LOVE Gradius games, but am so bad at them lol. My favorite is Gradius III on SNES, probably because of the extreme slowdown which helps me survive a little bit longer 😂

Konami, put this complete all on a switch cart with decent performance and I’m there!!

Are you a bad enough dude to receive your preorder?? 😜👍

Lol this is akin to the famous story of Decca Records rejecting The Beatles’ demo and saying “guitar music is on the way out” 😂😂😂

It doesn’t suck

@JJtheTexan excellent, thanks for the reply! 👍😃

I’ve heard of this company but does anyone know their track record with releases on retro hardware? Thought I’d ask after some controversy over other retro releases as of late. Love R.C. Pro-Am!!

@Slobbert Alucard: “I’m interested in this”

I’d buy that for a dollar!!

No, seriously. And not a penny more. And if it actually existed in the first place.

Looking forward to the finished game. Thanks to the dev!! The demo is awesome 😎

Interesting…are press versions of games close to launch typically very different from retail builds?

One of my favorite Taito arcade games, kind of like Ninja Warriors but much better (though I do really like NW SNES and recent remake). The weapon pickups are pretty satisfying!

It’s all in merchandising…

SuperSega the Flamethrower!!!

The kids love this one 😜

@OldManHermit I agree, have always thought that!!

Sounds like just a two-word review:

“S#*@ clip.”

@NinChocolate I was out at a mall a couple hours ago and they’ve got a retro game store with an X-Men 4P cabinet. I love the look and feel of those old machines…still so cool!!

@no_donatello It’s been one of my favorite gaming stories ever!

@nocdaes I just LOL’d at that. Thanks!!

SEGA does what Nintend-Would!! This whole thing became hilarious. Truth is stranger than fiction.

Let’s recap:
The guy is still stubborn enough to only change the name to SPGA instead of just ditching any reference to the trademark altogether and trying to save face, and additional legal troubles!! Now he’s got to refund tens of thousands he doesn’t have anymore and as a result put his Lambo up for sale? Is this guy like 21 years old? The warnings of failure have come at every turn with this project.

All I can do is rest head in hand and lol 😂

For the record I really wanted this to be legit so I could get one but NO WAY would I ever early back something so sketchy 😊 ✌️

I’m looking forward to playing both the Alwa games on Switch soon.

Lol, looking forward to trying some of these out!! Very cool, Taito. Very cool.

@-wc- your testimony makes me want to finally break down and buy one of these pads!

@CocktailCabinet your testimony makes me want to continue to avoid these like the plague!

✌️🤔

@-wc- dude, this sounds amazing!! I’ve got a collection for sure but I need to step up my display game 😂 I have a tv room with a bunch of my games collection, with two identical 50” 4K tvs set just in case we both want to play or watch different stuff lolz.

I bought them with the intent of having like two switches or PS consoles hooked up to do online mp but it hasn’t quite got off the ground 😜

EDIT: was just re-reading your post…what a dream setup!!! 👍

@-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.
