I'll be curious to see how this plays out. It definitely sounds like police malfeasance, but legal matters are almost always complicated. That said, I assume the corporations are in the wrong until proven otherwise; it's rarely an incorrect assumption, from my epxerience.

I enjoyed the remake of the original. I'll be picking this up day one. That said, I'll always prefer the Saturn original.

@Zeebor15 lol like most mentions of LRG here, that's a bit melodramatic

This is the shadiest thing I've heard from the gaming industry in a long time, and it's not exactly an industry where shady scandals are uncommon. I do agree that accusing Sega of unethically using government as a tool to retcon its mistakes is a bit hasty based on the information at hand, but it's definitely a plausible theory. At the very least, gross judicial malfeasance is obvious.

EDIT - I missed the part where Sega is named in the warrant. I retract my statement that the accusation against Sega is hasty.

@Scollurio See, and I just can't enjoy the janky platformers some people seem to love. Like that Bubsy collection. I'm just like "Why would anyone want that?" But lots of people do, and more power to them! To each, his own jank.

Hell yeah, I can't wait for these to hit Switch. I (genuinely, not being sarcastic) love crappy FMV games. They have a "so bad they're good" B movie style charm I adore.

I'm don't care for the white, but I'll probably jump on the Kickstarter for the standard black version.

I swore off mini consoles since I have the NES, SNES, PS1, Neo Geo, and TG16 minis and never play them...but I'll have to buy a Vectrex mini if it materializes on the market. It's the friggin Vectrex!

Dang, poor dude. I doubt many developers are apathetic about the state in which their games launch. I think we - all of us gamers - could stand to show a little more grace and give a little more benefit of the doubt with the developers (but I'm still all for pitchforks with the publishing execs).

I'm thrilled that we were able to help save the GPS!

Niiiice love it when games get physical releases.

@hste Once a company reaches a certain size, it becomes its own beast in a lot of ways. It may have been that, at a certain point, even a founder couldn't keep that from happening on her own.

I hadn't realized the GPS was in such dire straits or so heavily attacked. I'm about to become a member and do my part to support this vital work.

@Lowdefal This. My Famicom and PC-Engine get plugged straight into the wall, and they've worked fine for me for over a decade.

"Playing around with tariffs" is the perfect way to put it.

Ooo I need that SNES multiout on mine.

@Zeebor15 I aim to entertain

Don't worry, guys; the recession that will be triggered by the global stock crashes will at least put inflation at near zero. Maybe it will get so bad that we'll have a full-blown depression with deflation.

These tariffs are ill-considered and ill-advised. They will increase the cost to consumers - primarily where food and electronics are concerned - and are unlikely to have any appreciable effect on our trade deficit as this progresses to a full trade war and reciprocal tariffs are imposed on us. I want President Trump's policies to be successful in their goals - success for the president's administration is success for the country - but I fear that he is operating on a misunderstanding how tariffs work and their wider economic effects.

The release of a new game doesn't mean an old masterpiece is no longer a masterpiece.

@sdelfin I'm honestly not sure if he lied about what tariffs are or if he actually has no idea what they are and how they work beyond "tax on imports."

I really want to believe him, but his story is just too ridiculous. As has been said, he's either an idiot or incompetent.

I'm ALL about this. I think the Jaguar is a SEXY design (I'm in a minority, I know), and gaming had way more personality before everything was on identical looking discs. I don't care what the price tag is; I'll buy it and just pay off my credit card. I'm getting this Day One.

@Windy
I don't know, and I think one of their problems was that they weren't sure at the end, either, but it's not like most people think and that they were just sloppy; one of the backer e-mails said something about a problem with the company's production being halted for that model, forcing them to go back and do another round of cost/benefit analysis for other processors and make a determination for where to go. I do know, however, that it was going to be at least as strong as the Jaguar (overall, anyway; again, I don't know specifics) because they said that they had plans to - if the demand ended up being there (which I doubt but still hoped) - released add-ons to play the actual cartridges from old systems without the need for emulation. They never released specifics since that was an "maybe hopefully in the future" sort of goal, but still, they'd need to have some decently versatile hardware in there for that.

I would have loved this thing (I pledged over $500), but I can't say I'm surprised. This was always a pipe dream at best, but I'll still support it in whatever form their next crowdfunding attempt takes.

I highly doubt this will get funded and I doubt even more that it will remain commercially viable, but I love the idea, so I backed it nonetheless.
