Let me know when I can use it as a VR controller

@Alexcastle European capitalists have a stronger influence than libertarians.

@RupeeClock most of these budget devices are thick. I got a rg35x sp, and it's too thick to be carried in my pocket, it fits but it sticks out and is a little uncomfortable. ive been playing a lot of Pokemon black on it, and it's really got me interested in one of these dual screen devices... But I already have enough toys.

I can't speak for profitable trends in the arcade market, but as a gamer interested in discovering what constitutes as a modern arcade game, retro arcades are a dime a dozen. You buy a bunch of old arcade machines on discount, get a booze license, and viola!

Trying to find an arcade that houses the latest arcade machines... Near impossible.

Maybe it's just me... But making games for retro scene, a scene notorious for piracy, is asking to be pirated?

@Slackshoe IDGAF! South Parks use of AI was brilliant. Y'all just mediocre workers who get paid for doing the tedious work that creative designers don't have time for.

I mean, if each nation didn't hold its own sovereignty, it wouldn't be a nation? Oops, I didn't mean it to insult all those European vassal states, but I kinda did... Sorry.

Personally, this is just government using fear to control the behavior of the masses for the benefit of multinational corporations. The man is hero.

@Exerion76 yup, his ship sailed long ago. Yes got to play into the younger crowds. Heck, I'm sure some smaller modern arcade cab makers would love for some free promo. A rotating guest cab space of rotating demo units would be sick.

The problem with these joints, they get angry when you bump.

The problem with the tech industry, is that no one is willing to take pay cuts and live off of rice and beans after living the fat life. I was listening to an interview of an old babushka in rural Russia talking about how she would eat only potatoes if Putin asked her to. How many of us have such passion?

I've got no gripes with the hardware, the only thing stopping me from purchasing one, is that it's just Doom? Sure, the frame rate is improved... But the game has been around for how long? This project should have reclaimed Doom from the corporate boops and returned it to its community. It should have included all the best of what can only be described as fan made DLC.

Sadly, I can't support anything Japanese after hearing about their ruling elites cracking down on fun. There are plenty of efforts being made world wide to produce unique and novel gaming experiences.

We are better off without these corporate entities hoarding talent. May this be a warning to any would be future game developers, don't sell your soul.

@slider1983 bruh, mismanagement? Thats an understatement. It was a con job through and through, and the bag holders are praying to get something out of the dumpster fire filled and fueld by their cash. But seriously, the Chinese make better retro consoles than our supposed "OG" industry heavy weights. It's mind boggling how so many sycophants create the environment that allows these inept CEOs to thrive.

Eh? I'm no collector. As soon as I got an ereader, I stopped buying physical books. Well, not completely, as we are tactile creatures, and sometimes I need to smell and feel the paper; to feel the weight shift from one hand to the other as I near its end...

But my point being that I'm all for putting our old games in the landfill for archeologist to discover thousands of years from now. I like those unofficial live service hacks that fans make for legacy hardware as a way of preservation.

"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'll definitely be loading this onto my retro device. I've been looking for exactly these qol rom hacks.

@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.

So... Any long lost distant relatives wanna help me smuggle in handheld retro gaming devices?

If it doesn't run dos and dos games, you can keep your windows clone.

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.

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.

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$.
