"They are doing a new game in the series though, so it does make sense to build brand awareness and make people think about the original game."
This. Modern media campaigns are they long and slow build up as they hope to plant seeds into the minds of prospective customers. Marketing companies will even pay internet media companies like Google, to push brand related media into people's feeds. From their news aggregate to YouTube, someone is paying for you to see it, and now they have something to put in front of us.
Still, I might check it out? The event, not the new game. Inline skates are lame.
@beltmenot I was gonna say the same thing. I don't know the guy and never knew he existed... But knowing that another wizard behind the curtain is gone, saddens me.
My hats off to these cats! In the arts, there's a common theme of limiting one's ability to express themselves, and finding new forms of expression within those limits. Poetry is one such art, and so is retro programming.
I don't know... It's a little click baity? Fully functional but unusable claw controllers ruined it. If anyone thinks that's going the extra mile... Just quit.
I still think a hacked Wii reigns supreme. It's just the right kind of gaming setup to leave at mom's for when her grand kids visit, or when i need a little nostalgia.

Re: Emulation Handheld Maker Anbernic Suspends All Shipments To The US
@jberg amen! We could program and run stage lighting much more easily on these devices, and the steam deck, than one could do on the switch.

Re: Trump's Tariffs Have "Changed Everything" For Makers Of Essential Retro Gaming Gear
US 'de minimus' laws means anything under 800$, purchased directly from China for personal use, is tax and duty free.
Trump isn't protecting US industries, he's looking for revenue streams.
Re: Your Next Retro Emulation Handheld Could Cost You 35% More Than Usual
This is nonsense fear mongering meant get us to spend more money.
All one has to do is order direct from China, and tariffs don't apply. As long as the item is less than 800$.
