I despite the Saudi government and the inhuman monster running the kingdom...but I do love me some Metal Slug...

Of course it will be better than emulation; it runs on actual hardware instead of a purely software solution or an FPGA replica.

@Tasuki NeoGeo is just the coolest thing to me. Not only some of the best 2D arcade games around but arcade hardware on a home console? In the early 90s? Mind blowing.

This is reprehensible.

@Tasuki And with Arcade Works's no longer making them, they're obscenely expensive on eBay. I got mine last year as a housewarming gift to myself when I moved into my new house, and it cost me about $900. Unfortunately for me, I'm a big enough Neo Geo fan to have been willing to pay that grotesque amount.

If I didn't already have an Omega CMVS and an MVS flash cartridge, I would totally jump on this in a heartbeat.

People have spent 25 years underestimating the Dreamcast. I always believed in you!

It looks GORGEOUS! I thought Super Mario Bros 3 on NES was a beautiful 8-bit game, but dadgum, this blows it out of the water in my opinion. I'd love to see them do the entire game like this.

I think they fact that they're admitted that they're at fault is a positive sign; that never would have happened when Josh was still running the show. There's a LOT of trust to be regained, much of which can't be, but I see this is as a small step in the right direction.

I love how we're all calling her "ex-WWE CEO" instead of "current Secretary of Education." It's so much less depressing if we let ourselves forget she's in charge of the nation's education system.

Linda McMahon is an idiot. Even if we don't count the Game Boy as making gaming portable - which would be a stupid thing to discount - the Game Boy Advance and DS absolutely did, and they were out before the PSP. I'm not knocking the PSP - it has some great games - but it definitely wasn't "the beginning of life on the go."

Oh my god I can't wait to play this. I've never heard of it before this article, but it sounds like the kind of thing I would adore. Definitely a day one download for me (I'm assuming no physical release on Switch). I normally don't like games that use emulation at all, but for retro games where the source code is lost, I'm all for it in order to maintain authenticity and a faithful presentation of the game as originally intended.

Porting old games to different old consoles and especially "demakes" are my absolute FAVORITE part of the homebrew scene. Even if it's not "better" in any way or even inferior in some way, it's just cool to play Grand Theft Auto III on a Dreamcast. Even if Doom 64 is way more accessible on modern consoles digitally, it's just cool to see it running on a Dreamcast. And just like when choosing armor or weapons in an RPG, the Rule of Cool is always a correct way to make a decision.

I still play everything on original hardware if possible (although I admit to using an Everdrive for the software), so this is amazing to me. I love seeing how many unnecessary but awesome and helpful upgrades and additions people can make for these old consoles.

I'm VERY cautiously optimistic. I've been a LRG customer since Breach and Clear on Vita, but I haven't considered myself a LRG "fan" in several years. Josh was like 90% of the problem, though, so I'm hoping that with him gone, they really will be able to turn things around and restore their reputation in the limited print market. That said, I've heard that these two guys aren't exactly angels themselves, so only time will tell.

The movie was definitely not good. It's also a really fun campy pew pew movie that I love.

A - Gamestop sucks, and no one should care what they say

B - I coincidentally agree with them. I've always said a console is retro once there is a generation between it and the current consoles. The Xbox One sits between the Xbox 360 and the current Series X, so the 360 is retro. The PS4 sits between the PS3 and the current PS5, so the PS3 is retro. The Switch sits between the Wii U and the Switch 2, so the Wii U is retro.

C - The above paragraph hurt my soul (and my back) to type.

I'm not gonna lie, the composite output makes this a hard no for me. It's super cool, and I hope it's a smash hit, but I want the best video output possible, even in my chunky 8-bit games.

I'm excited top play this on Genesis!

The texture flickering would drive me insane, but I can't deny that the performance is quite impressive.

Any homebrew for Saturn is rad in my book. I'll definitely be buying this next time I get paid.

I love LRG and have been a customer since their first Vita game released back in 2015. It's a deeply flawed company that has made a lot of very bad choices, most seemingly tied to Fairhurst, but they've also done some stuff I think is super cool - like helping to resurrect so-bad-they're-good Sega CD FMV games - that are also largely tied to Fairhurst. I know my love for them is a deeply unpopular opinion here that will get me heavily flamed, but Josh's shady decisions aside, there are a lot of games I love that wouldn't have a physical release on my shelf were it not for LRG. I'm hopeful that new leadership will see the company correct a lot of the issues they currently have and take some more pro-consumer actions.

For the record, I love Mighty Rabbit, too; Breach and Clear is unironically fun even if generic, and I absolutely adore Saturday Morning RPG.

What a dedicated artist devoted to her craft. I wonder if her next of kin would allow others to pick up the torch, so to speak, and carry her final work to completion in her stead?

Damn, gaming lost a true legend. My heart goes out to her friends and family.

This is heartbreaking. My prayers go out to her family as they grieve and for her to feel relief from pain before her end.

@Sketcz Gatekeeping translation patches is a weird hill to die on.

I'm glad to see them back. Translation patches and ROM hacks are essential to making games never released in multiple languages accessible and keeping beloved old favorites fresh and exciting.

No cartridge slot, no purchase. Without that, it's just another - albeit much higher quality - plug and play machine that Atari has been mass producing for like 20 years.

@BionicDodo Sometimes it's important to be that guy; that kind of information is good for folks who are looking for an SD option for Saturn to have.

I wish I could afford to contribute. At the very least, I'll be praying for remission and that her chemo effects aren't too debilitating.

@MapsBam
With insurance, a single ER visit cost me nearly $2000. Regular cancer treatment for multiple tumors? That will likely be, best case scenario, a six-digit bill when all's said and done even with insurance. What a ridiculously naive and insensitive statement to make.

I think the 3DS is proof that the Virtual Boy was just ahead of its time. Another 10 years, and other color LEDs would have been a lot more affordable, stronger hardware would have allowed for rudimentary 3D models, and hopefully they could have made it more akin to PSVR where you can strap it to you face instead of needing that stand.

Or maybe I'm just a chronic Nintendo apologist with a fetish for failed gaming hardware. I'm never sure which it is.

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.
