There's a dedicated website that's been around for a long, long while now that pre-packaged the games neatly to just install and run on modern systems. Surprised you didn't mention that considering other outlets did ages ago.

@Guru_Larry They will all sue whoever does that and it'll end up with an injunction against release that will tie it up in court for years. I remember reading year ago about when someone was trying to get the rights to release it, everyone said they didn't know, but when they suggested that they might release it anyway since nobody knows, Fox threatened to move heaven and earth to find proof of their rights to it and sue them out of business. It's pretty awful.

@Guru_Larry Last I heard Paramount was attempting take WB out from under Netflix by force by going straight to the investors with a bigger offer, not to mention Trump will likely block the merger in favor of Paramount which is run by one of his scumbag pals.

@MARl0 Don't worry. As soon as the shareholders of these companies realize they aren't making any, or enough money from AI, the bubble will burst and they'll move onto the next get rich quick scheme. They'll continue doing that until late-stage capitalism ultimately collapses entirely, which I can't wait for because capitalism is by far one of worst things humans have ever invented and has pretty much doomed the planet.

@slider1983 Well, too bad, because it does exist and will stay the term used.

@Guru_Larry The name isn't going to change just because a minority of people don't like it, or even care. Kinda pointless to complain about it, IMO.

@Sawboss Why do you keep adding the extra N in vania?

@mrrgrrgrr Thank you. I didn't want to waste my time on a half hour video for this, especially if she's not the first to answer it. I guess she couldn't be bothered to see if anyone else answered the question.

Honestly surprised Nintendo hasn't started going around and legally threatening anyone who uses the term, since Metroid is trademarked and Nintendo are dicks.

@Daniel36 The 90s cheesy vibe is what makes me want to see it. I'm not sure if you could make a movie that plays this stuff straight with this source material and have it be taken seriously. It's kinda gotta be over the top. I'm honestly not sure what fighting game series could have a serious movie made for it honestly.

What worries me is how many people this fooled even though there were definite signs of AI in it. I fear the day is coming when all the obvious tells that something is AI slop will be harder and harder if not impossible to spot and people will get fooled more and more. The implications are terrifying.

@tektite_captain He's not wrong though. I avoid retrobrighting for this very reason. Also, having watched his videos for years now. I 100% disagree with your dismissive rando comment. He knows what he's talking about.

Id love to see the original Japanese version translated and released with the FMV and all. The English one that released changed too much.

Thanks for recommending this! I hadn't heard of it. Added it to my wishlist.

How long ago did the Amico thing happen? Most people don't even know about it or care by now. I know I don''t. This feels like an slow news day story.

I haven't watched this show and don't have any interest in it, even though I am someone born in 1984 who enjoys the genre it belongs to and the subject matter. However, I don't know. It just doesn't seem interesting, and it looks more like nostalgia bait. Goofs like that bug the crap out of me as well which is an additional turn off.

Stickerbush Symphony from DKC 2 is the greatest song in a video game ever. I will die on this hill if needs be.

I'd be very surprised if this didn't get c&d'd out of existence soon. I don't understand why people waste their time working on copyrighted projects when they pretty much always get shut down.

Looking forward to this as Cardcaptor Sakura is one of my favorite anime and manga series of all time!

@slider1983 Yeah. They'd do the AI up res on the cut-scenes and that could look pretty bad. Someone just released a remaster mod for Mysteries of the Sith and it looks pretty impressive. Its on moddb.

@slider1983 Why do you say that? The OpenJKDF2 source port project has been around for quite a while now, so It's not like its impossible.

Is It too much to hope that maybe, just maybe Lucasart's Afterlife could be remastered? I know I'm one of the very few people alive who likely played that game, but I love it. Would be incredible to see that happen.

I first played Elder Scrolls: Oblivion on the 360, and it absolutely blew my mind. I must have spent days almost nonstop playing it. I first played Left 4 Dead on the 360 as well which became another addiction for a while. I somehow lucked out and never got the Red Ring of Death.

The 360 is 20 years old... Ugh. I was 21 in 2005. I'm 41 now. Time sucks.

All I feel like I can say in situations like this is f*** cancer. This is heart breaking. Such a wonderful person, and a great developer. I don't believe in an afterlife personally, but if there is one I hope she's reunited with her wife and that they can be happy and healthy forever.

@Exerion76 Yep, and the situation is only getting worse...

Hope they can be recovered. This really sucks.

Weird. I played the game when it was new and have no memories of any one level being particularly difficult. I guess I must have gotten through without too much frustration then. Interesting to learn though.

I finally finished AC6 and really loved it. I want to go back and play the whole series from the beginning at some point.

There's a really great retrospective analysis series of videos about each game by a Youtuber named AesirAesthetics. Really worth a watch.

Why? My memory of what little I played of these games back in the day was that they were very boring games at best.

Not surprised sadly. It's a huge shame that it is widely the case with all of those old Japanese games. The documentaries and books that could have been released if all of that stuff still existed would have been wonderful.

As for the FFVII remakes? I'm planning on playing them once they are all completed. I'll reserve judgment until then

I hope they are able to save the game. I'd love to see a new FPS from him. Would be a good opportunity for redemption from Daikatana.

I've never bought one of these emulator powered reproduction systems before, but I want this. I never got to have an Amiga and this looks like the thing I've been waiting for. I just hope they don't sell out fast and never get made again.

@Sn0w And likely run into the ground based on what I've observed.

I miss Babbages and CompUSA. So many great memories browsing all the big box pc games as a kid and teen. CompUSA was cool cause they also carried boxed copys of Linux when it was an incredibly niche and incredibly difficult thing to get into. God, I miss those days.

According to a commenter there, they discriminate against 40-year-olds too. Which is awful, as I'm 41 and don't look or act any differently than I did when I was 30, so the idea of being discriminated against based on a number is just crazy to me.

Was the OG dosbox abandoned? It hasn't been updated in over 6 years.

58 I way too young. So sad. I can't imagine writing a message for people for after die and sounding so composed.

I'd have bought this game again if it didn't use Ubisoft connect. I'll stick with my modded version made from my old disc copy then. I love the original three games. Didn't like anything after Chaos Theory. I don't want to watch the new show, or likely play the eventual new game because I can't imagine anyone other than Michael Ironside playing him.

This was one of my favorite games to rent for my Sega Genesis. I remember being so amazed by the graphics and the setting. I never actually got to own the game till the remaster in the last few years when I got it on GoG. Still love the game.

It's always really sad when another arcade closes. The one here closed recently due to lack of business; it had only been open just over a year. I really liked the place and went there weekly. Hope these games find new homes.

Interesting. Looking forward to trying this. Wonder what Ken Silverman would think of this since the engine he was working on after the Build Engine was based entirely on voxels.

@cakeashi a bit crude don't you think? I don't agree anyway. I've liked other shooters much better than that series, but just my opinion.

I must have been one of the few US citizens who owned and loved the Amiga as a kid. Nobody else I knew had one and I got made fun of for not having a Sega or Nintendo system.

I'm all in on recompilation. Playing Majora's Mask and OOT on my computer with major QOLs, widescreen and high framerates beats emulation and original hardware any day, IMO. MVG is pretty great though. Makes a lot of good videos and I found out about the recompilation stuff because of him. He is also a huge proponent of game preservation.

@Aerona That's the one thing that keeps it plausible to me, however unlikely. I don't trust them after the stick drift fiasco. I gave up trying to fix them after awhile and just started replacing my controllers.

Now I kinda like the idea of a more grown up oriented Sonic the Hedgehog game. Maybe they are all a bit older and maybe the world has gone to crap because a new villain showed up that was more successful than Robotnik.

... Or they could just be renewing their trademark which companies need to do to maintain them? Reading into this too much I think. As much as I love the series, I don't think a new Ecco would be commerically successful. I've seen far more people saying how much they disliked those games because of their difficulty than liked by a large margin sadly. The failed Kickstarter for a spiritual successor speaks for itself.
