The REAL Xbox, died back in 2013.

It's hard getting excited by yet another Neo Geo release, when the game has been available on almost everything, the last couple of generations, and easily emulated, on MUCH better handhelds. The screen is just too damn small, at least for the shmups, where the bullets will be near impossible to see
Though, it sure is the best looking Super Pocket, so far.

Expecting them to release a Neo Geo Alpha as well, after this.

That was great 👍
Love that they took the design from the manual.
If Nintendo takes this down, I will buy a ticket to Japan, storm their HQ, and give them all a well deserved, old school, wedgie 🤣

Personally, I don't see the point of using a 32x anymore.
I bought it for the arcade and superscaler ports, but since then, there are much better ports, available on every modern system now.

Looking forwards to this, as I've never played the arcade games in the series.

I know I'm gonna sound like a grumpy old partypooper.
But even as an old Commodore fan, I don't have any hopes for this.
You just can't recreate the magic, that was Commodore, in the 80:s.
The current owners of Atari, have succeeded, by keeping it pretty small scale, and on the indie side of gaming. And they own so many classic IP:s, that they can make new games of etc. But Commodore made hardware, so what's the plan here? He doesn't seem to be planning any re-releases of classic hardware, but instead putting the name on new stuff.
So is he gonna make the same mistake, as the previous Atari owner, with the failed new VCS, but as a Commodore PC, that will just be a random mini PC with the Commodore name and OS in it? Is he gonna try to make watches and flip phones? I know it's his dream owning Commodore, but what's gonna happen, when reality sets in, and comes crashing down on him?
I don't think it will be another Amico styled mess, but I also don't think this will turn out a success for him, and the ones involved.
Hope he just keeps it low scale, and don't try to go big with it. And how much longer, before this oversaturated "retro nostalgia" bubble bursts?

And then the damn use of AI...

Most modern "cartridges", are just glorified flash cards. And wont survive as long as proper rom carts.

Wonder how many Switch carts, that have died, 20 years from now, while all my NES carts still work fine. 😱😂

Nothing lasts forever though.

Wonder how smooth this will go.
The earlier kickstarter was plagued by multiple delays and problems.

Anyone here got one?

So many sites, that have either turned into sh*t, or just closed down.
Internet feels much smaller today, with so much of it, being tied to social media platforms, or taken over by AI.

Except for this one, Nintendo Life, Push and Pure, and a local tech forum, I barely surf the internet anymore.

Miss the 90:s and 00:s, where internet felt more free and open. Sure it was slow as hell, but it was more worth it.

Yeah...I'm just another old man, yelling at the clouds, I guess 😂

I'm one of those weirdos, that only buy the retro games that I like and wanna play, and couldn't care less about the value.
I miss the 00:s and early 10:s, when you could still buy PC Engine games at fair prices.
I also collected arcade games for a while.
It's insane how cheaply I could buy PCB:s of games like Final Fight and Truxton 2, back then, but then it got so damn expensive, I lost all interest in the hobby.

If I was filthy rich, and owned a videogame store, then I would sell original copies of games like Chrono Trigger and Earthbound, for $25, just to help burst the bubble, even if I lost money. 😂

I just want Evercade, to go back to what they did, in the beginning. Focus on 8 and 16 bit games, and none of the 3D stuff.
And also stick to ONE type of handheld, instead of oversaturating the market with multiple variants.

@Ebb1993
Yeah, but they wont be anime/waifu/lolis, that looks like 8 year olds, that pops up on screen, and scream a bunch of nonsense
😂

Got neither Aleste or Zanac feelings from that gameplay. It's just yet another modern bullet hell...
And am I the only one, tired of seeing (and hearing) anime girls in every modern shmup?

Earthion and Salamander III, is thankfully staying old-school.

If you read that whole comment on X, he says he wanna make sure that all the bugs are found and fixed before they make the MD cartridges, since those can't be updated afterwards, like the versions for modern systems.

I'm gonna buy both the Switch, and next year the cart, of this one. I hope it sells well, so he can continue to make more 16bit games, which is his goal.

@Guru_Larry
Yeah, and then add the customs fees on that...
400 I would have been okey with.

The price is just insane, for an emulation box...
