Honestly this SuperMegaPocket looks super slick in these pictures. Just looks much more premium than some of the others so if I ever get one, I might have to get one of these

I do think it sucks that some of the later Gradius titles aren't included, but the collection itself seems cool. I mean the fact we're getting a new game overall kinda makes up for the lack of other titles for the time being. The console versions are cool, but this is in a similar boat to the Capcom Fighting Collections where they aren't seen as the base definitive version, probably more so for these considering most versions of these titles have pretty much almost the same content. My only real issue is that this collection is kinda expensive compared to Konami's other collections, but I guess I should of assumed this as such since it's being developed and priced like a ShotTriggers release

Damn these guys just won't stop the train for this title. I fully expect a Wii version with pointer controls and a Wii U version with unneeded gamepad functionality next and that's not even a joke

I can't believe this game came to the Genesis before the main console versions after over a year of waiting lmao

I really hope this comes to consoles because I have the original mobile version and really enjoy it, and I've never played the console version before. Just sucks that I don't play mobile games much at all really, let alone have an Apple device.

Seems like a cool budget way to play physical PC-E games, but I wish there was at least some way to play CD titles. That would be nice if you did have some attachment for it

Really cool they gave us both versions. Most times I feel like companies would give us the updated editions of arcade titles like this and call it a day, but I'm glad at least RGG cares enough to keep making these available.

Honestly I don't get his comments here because I think Sega is arguably in one of its best spots in a long time, and they're about to have so many games come out that will also only help them get on top, so I think that this seems kinda doomer since I feel like Sega is in a great position currently

Bro please I would pay $100 for something like this its so cute

@Fallingshadow Wait really? I didn't hear them mention it at all in the VF Direct. I only saw that they are doing the physical version for VF5FS. Because I feel like if they had a whole new version on PS4, LRG would be letting us pre-order it lol.

Is this a new version of the game for Xbox? Or is it just the 360 version on a disc, because if that's the case I wonder if it will work with 360 as well. Probably not since it will probably be on Blu-Ray, but it would be cool if so

@NinChocolate I don't 100% remember if that is the case or not, but I know My Life In Gaming's video on the MiSTER have full guides on how to set it up on a CRT. Very good watch even if you aren't interested in setting it up on a CRT

I think the FPGA space is pretty cool with what is currently available with MiSTER and stuff, but I just don't really want to buy a MiSTER to download a whole bunch of ROMS, which I already prefer not to do in most cases, when with what I want software emulation gets it done for free. But I am much more interested in the FPGA devices that still act as normal consoles with the original mediums that they had like Analogue's products, so having a big all in one system that plays all types of cartridges, cards, and discs would be awesome and something I would definitely be wanting to get if it has a range to play almost everything possible physically

This is honestly crazy to see that all of this Sega Channel stuff is finally coming to light now when I never thought we would ever see stuff like this again. Super awesome that all of this stuff is getting preserved now!

Damn it looks so hella good! I love it when there's modern sprite-scaling games and I would have to assume this is going to play super fast and smooth. Can't wait to find out more about it!

This is honestly a super cool way to release arcade games for a system like this. Obviously the digital market for arcade titles is much more accessible for people, but the PolyMega obviously leaning towards physical collectors makes this a super smart way to sell arcade games for a system that obviously can't connect physical arcade hardware, so selling them almost like little collections makes it a really cool way to make these more substantial. Its especially cool that they add console versions as well for all titles as well because I think that only helps to give context to the arcade titles and how they were portrayed differently at home.

Really cool that Hamster was able to get another licensed titles for the ACA line. Would be cool what other series they could tap potentially for the line as well

Honestly this is the best thing for me to come out of the new unknown info about past titles for me. Just the fact we got a whole new unknown game uncovered is so cool. Very glad now its preserved for everyone, even if the hack itself is a very bad situation

Personally, I feel like there such a thing as "bad nostalgia," but its less in the form of what people enjoy, and more so people just using nostalgia like a buzz word for any old thing ever like its the only reason to check something out. Like I watch Spawn Wave a lot, and no offense to Jon, but my man says nostalgia way too much when talking about a lot remasters & rereleases, like him only really saying a NSO or PS Plus Premium month is good if a game is "nostalgic" from that era, just saying to check out a remaster or something because it's very "nostalgic." I just kinda groan when people say that because I feel like it makes old games sound like they have no value in going back to unless you have nostalgia for something, and that every little old thing needs to be nostalgic. Just kinda tires me hearing it, but that's just me.

I don't really understand this reason because this kinda falls apart when Ryu and Ken have always been best friends. If anything if we wanna take it in a very socio-political way, Ryu and Ken can be seen as the strong bond the US and Japan has built with each other over time, but that's just if we wanna view it in that sort of way

Honestly it's well deserved for Iizawa. I honestly wouldn't of gotten into Judgement and now want to try the whole Like A Dragon series if it wasn't for these games. Judgement was releasing in the US for the first time and I had seen articles that the game was going to include Motor Raid, and I got all giddy because of that one game (odd game to get crazy over I know but I had the chance to play an actual cabinet before and really liked the game but had never touches it since). I then asked for the game for christmas, and once I got it, the rest was history, and I found one of my new favorite games. All because of these emulations, and Motor Raid

Literally would not of noticed if this article didn't exist, which honestly makes me wonder why people care that much lol. Athena, sure. She's literally one of the main secret characters they used in the trailer so it's weird to hide her, but literally you can't see Mai's cleavage that well anyways, so idk what the fuss is about when it's something so small for just the cover art

Awesome article. As someone who is 18 themselves, I would KILL to have a class like this. Trying to dive deeper into the history of games was something I wanted to explore on my own time, and this class would of let me do it for college credit, while this current class of students don't even seem to care about the media as a whole even beyond the super mainstream titles? Just seems like a wasted opportunity to me from them. Hopefully this type of class keeps moving forward, and more people that are passionate about the history of games can help to pave a better path into understanding the history of games, and then understanding what they can take from those old titles to make something new.

Idk why it isn't as much of a big deal. Sunsoft simply owns the IP and LRG/Embracer wanted to have BitWave make a sequel, so they just got the rights and just started making it. It's just ip business stuff and getting the creator isn't fully required. Of course it would of been cool if he got involved, but I have trust in BitWave from their output so I have lots of excitement for when this releases

@WaveBoy Nah it's probably going to be pixel art like BitWave's other title Wunderling, so I bet its gonna look just as beautiful as that

This is a really cool product range, and I would say is arguably much more compelling than Arcade1Up's countercades. The Evercade cartridge support is a deal maker alone and the controller connectivity is a great feature, but I'm still kinda looking at the Arcade1Up countercades because some of those are much cheaper and have online support (mainly the Marvel Super Heroes cab) so I'm not 100% sure if I would want this more compared to something like and Evercade EXP. Still cool to see these being made though

@KitsuneNight Dang dude you stole my comment idea about Uncle Derek lmao

This is awesome to see. The only thing that made me disappointed with the ACA line all these years was the lack of online play, but now that they announced this, Hamster just continues to win me over. If these updated versions include rollback and crossplay for all of their titles with online multiplayer, I'm gonna be so happy and pick them up whenever I actually get a PS5 lol

God damn this dev knows exactly what I like

@Zeebor15 I didn't even think about that lol. That would make a lot of sense, but I do kinda hope that they make the 10th anniversary game something big for ACA for something like bigger 3D games. I think that would help to mark a big moment for ACA that they're going to go above and beyond now with even bigger arcade games, so that way it feels like every arcade game ever has a chance to get a release

Ah man, this sucks big time. I really loved their vinyls that I got a lot and still have a lot of their stuff I really want to pick up. I guess I maybe should of saw this in hindsight since the last time I checked their site everything was massively discounted for no reason. Hopefully I can still pick up the vinyls I want before they sell out forever.

And the sad thing is most of the online sellers are getting all of these on the cheap, and then selling them online in the US for prices like they actually imported with stupid fees, but obviously didn't.

Really nice that he decided to put it up online. It feels like if he was giving it out for free on cartridge, that it would be easy to just put it online for free. Definitely will be checking this out. Might put it on my PSP

Very good interview. As someone who like Chris says is only familiar with Minter from Tempest 2000 onwards, this collection of titles and story about Jeff just seems super interesting to me as someone who doesn't know his story and games, but see's something from the Konix Multivision getting included and get really excited. I can't wait to check out this title. I know its gonna be just as great as Atari 50

I was wondering if the original was ever going to come back on here. I honestly was kinda hoping for it to go onto NSO to get more eyes on the game but any rerelease of a game like Ufouria is amazing

I mean I understand he wanted to get the good bag, but that is kinda scummy of them to cancel the listing to try and 70× it. The one person who saw the listing got to it and should be the one to of gotten it for that price

I am in 100% agreement. I just think Fantasy Zone has such a unique style and gameplay loop that I think with some additional modern tune-ups and additions, would be able to stand out and find success, even if a small one

It's cool to see that they're still able to rerelease the MvC2 cab with new art, but it sucks that this is still the only possible option for the classic MvC games to be played officially these days. They would probably sell gangbusters on modern consoles

I mean yeah I can see why they wouldn't want to sell the cartridge, but why not just upload it online if its up from free? Then its just the average piece of homebrew. Hopefully someone could dump the game then after winning it

Cool release of the game, but not really anything meaningful if it isn't translated at all. Especially since its a very story oriented RPG

Honestly over my years of getting more interested in nicher parts of gaming history, I've gained a huge respect for Hamster to try and keep the legacy of all of these arcade games easily available on modern platforms. Its crazy they've been able to keep up the weekly schedule they've had and I can't to see who else they might be able to work with because if we can start to finally go into the late 90's and 2000's more, it's gonna be amazing

I would love to grab one of the ghosts here! They look super cute and soft

@Steel76 No its a full traditional Platinum game, just on mobile. That's why its such a tragic causality once delisted from the App Store

Look, I'm always down for people to go outside and touch grass, but come on man. Like how does Scuti's mom see his son just get a world record and get wide spread acclaim for it, just say "This is not an important moment because its just a video game and he needs to go outside," when he does go out and compete in classic Tetris tournaments, and also in the fact going outside is used for people who are simply complaining about every minute thing online, when Scuti obviously seem like a super nice dude

Honestly just anything from Treasure is awesome. They always find a way to make great game and honestly I hope its something new. I think it could really help kickstart them back into the spotlight a bit

I'm hoping that maybe D4 could maybe get Konami or Compile on board to have their MSX games make their way over. They may be the only ones I really know for the platform but I'm interested in more than a few of said titles like Konami's Space Manbow

I honestly had no idea they even had Fighting Vipers 2 and the SG-1000 version of Flicky were coming in here as well! I must of missed the blurb in the original article. It's cool to see that we have good Model 3 emulation from Sega officially now, as well as seeing official SG-1000 games as well. RGG is so much better at preserving Sega's classic games than Sega is itself lol

OH MY GOODNESS THIS LOOK AMAZING IT LOOKS SO CUTE AND CLEAN!!!! I thought they were simply gonna be making a port of the game like Trip World and Gimmick, but they're going above and beyond with this one. Definitely gonna be checking this out and super glad to see Sunsoft is now fully back in swing

It's nice to have a little bit of an update of what's going on, but the fact it only took them this long to respond after how long with new games needing to take even longer is ridiculous. I ordered the collectors edition of Dariusburst CS Core not know how bad the wait would truly be, as I thought that they were way better than LRG because their collectors editions were way cheaper and had better value. Little did I know that I would be getting this probably after I get my collectors editions of both Trip World DX and Gimmick Special Edition. This better start immediately or else I'm not buying from them until they get their actual copies fully on sale and not pre order

That's awesome to see this got a modern release! The fact that it seems appropriately priced makes it much cooler as well. Definitely gonna buy this if it comes to the states
