@h3s can’t say I’ve noticed any bad emulation I think they run pretty well the hamster versions on switch definitely have an input lag and sometimes the music is off but I agree about the AES mode are you using a super pocket cos I think you can change the mode on the exp-r I just use the street fighter Evercade alpha so I’m not sure what settings can be applied on the handhelds but on the alpha you definitely can change the mode and they seem to run great

These Neo Geo collections are outstanding value for money I’ve got my preorder in I have 1,2 and 3 already they are great on the Evercade alpha some good games on there too blazing star is awesome also I really like robo army don’t think it gets much love but it’s great

@WaveBoy I think lag on mini consoles is probably more a problem of modern tvs rather than the console itself I have SNES mega drive and pc engine mini which all play amazingly well on a monitor but I was using various tvs and they all have a lag whether you use so called game mode or whatever ever options the tv has they all have problems even when using a PS5 switch to a monitor and no such problems on any system that I’ve tried modern tvs are just lame when it comes to gaming no matter what brand or how much you spend

I love my vmu pro but one really annoying thing is that it doesn’t always select the right card as in you can load a game or go on the memory management screen on the DC itself and it’s blank and I’m so used to just loading a game with standard vmus and it just loads your file automatically I’m constantly seeing would you like to create data or failed to load data why does it not select the appropriate memory card

These are actually pretty cool yesterday when I read the teaser I wasn’t sure but seeing them I’ve changed my mind but I must resist having ordered the anniversary Neo Geo gonna make me skint 😂

Ninja masters, matrimelee, kizuna encounter and for sports games street hoops, windjammers and I would love to have Neo drift out

@Kenoddis that’s good news just can’t wait to get my hands on the finished product fingers crossed that this is the real deal

I just hope this turns out to be as close to the original as possible I’ve preordered the anniversary edition and I simply can’t wait hopefully this will give the Neo Geo the respect it deserves it’s amazing that a product like this exists. I have the spectrum which is pretty much just like the original so I have faith in Plaion

@mjparker77 ha ha 😝 exactly my story it has to be done I just couldn’t resist ordering

@rhester72 if you look at the box contents it clearly says that it comes with a wireless dongle plus a 15 pin wire and a usb c charging cable which says to me that it can be connected either way

@NeonPizza I was thinking the same but if you read the description on the site it also comes with the 15 pin wire so it can be used both wireless and wired I had my reservations thinking it was wireless only but it definitely states that it can be used either way

My preorder is in I’ve gone for the white version with metal slug just couldn’t resist it

This is amazing it’s exactly what I’ve always wanted being a nineties kid the Neo Geo was the holy grail I’m so glad things like this exist I’m super excited I may even go for the ultimate edition gonna start saving now. To me this is one of those announcement's that’s actually better than what I was expecting I really thought it may be a mini AES which would have been fine but this is better

@metaphysician yeah me too plus it would look great in my set up I know the Neo Geo games are available on pretty much every format but to have an authentic looking console with controllers would be amazing

I’ve always wondered why they have not released a Neo Geo mini I would buy one in a heartbeat yes you can get the mini arcade machine but a proper mini AES would be amazing hope this becomes a reality

This is probably the best example of an arcade golf game ever and the Neo Geo pocket game is just as much fun love the cheesy music and the speech on the gweeen we need a Neo Geo sports cartridge for Evercade this street hoops and baseball stars 2 are simply awesome

This is a great game although it’s a lot smoother when played on an actual Dreamcast kinda looks a bit janky in that video

Still use my ps3 quite often I’ve actually bought a few games for it recently as they are such good value calling it retro seems mad 😂

I wanna say thanks to Time Extension for making me aware of Sega Mania magazine it completely passed me by but I have downloaded a few digital copies and I will definitely be ordering some print versions takes me back to a great era in gaming that I miss so much

This is indeed exciting news I have the retro fighters wireless striker which is a great controller but it is a compromise having to dock the vmu especially since getting the vmu pro I wanna be looking at it not have it distanced from me I’m definitely gonna pre order. People always criticise the og Dreamcast controller but I miss using it just feels perfect when using original hardware now if someone would just produce new controller shells that would be perfect

@cawley1 the cx-40 is a great choice very durable but it poses the same problem for me as the speed king as in I hold the base with my right hand and the stick with my left it puts the fire button in an awkward position for me. With the A500 I actually use the 8bitdo Neo Geo controller as it has the clicky d pad and nice buttons plus it has all the functions you need for the A500 as in menu home button ect I use the 8bitdo adapter 2 and it’s very good and responsive but I looked into getting a converter to use a 9 pin and looked to get a navigator but it was quite expensive to buy the full setup

I wanted this to be amazing but alas it’s just how I expected it to be my favourite joysticks from back in the day are the Konix navigator and the speed king although the speed kings fire button were on the right hand side which is perfect if you grip the base with your left hand and use your right hand on the stick itself but not great if you’re left handed the navigator was perfect as no matter which hand you used the fire button was in reach and it was like a trigger I wish these were remade I would love to use one with the A500 mini would be my perfect pairing

Cex has some pretty reasonable prices on rare games compared to eBay and such like it’s with current stuff that it falls down on you can pick brand new physical games from places like smyths toys and Argos for less than what cex charge for second hand games smyths toys near me has a large selection of games and even a dedicated area for consoles and games it’s my go to place now for modern games

Bought this on steam and have been playing it on the steam deck mostly but I would love to have the physical for the Mega Drive hopefully this will be available in the uk at some point

This is great news hope rave racer is also coming to PS5 . Console archives is something I didn’t know I needed but if they release some more obscure games that you don’t normally get on collections and stuff like switch online I will be extremely pleased

It looks like IK+ but your strapped to a helicopter I will wait for some reviews kinda looks a bit insane

@MARl0 Thanks for replying my time is not bad going off what you are saying it’s 3:36.100 and my lap is 1:11:710 but like you say how on earth do you get 11 seconds better than that I use a Logitech g29 it’s great with a wheel

@MARl0 what is your time I’m just curious as I think mine is pretty good but I have not registered it as I’m not too sure what’s considered good I haven’t even looked at the leaderboard

I wouldn’t call it a failure I had so many good games on PSP I do think some developers used it as an afterthought but it was great and such a nice piece of hardware for its time like the Vita

I love the Dreamcast still have my original console but I always felt that the controller has been it’s biggest weakness it’s uncomfortable and the dpad is probably the worst of all Sega controllers after the amazing Saturn controller you think they would have followed the same path and added analog sticks. I use the retro fighters striker dc wireless and I think it’s excellent much more comfortable the only downside is having to use cradle for the vmu other than that I think it’s a great alternative and a lot cheaper than this

I bought this in the steam sale it’s great on the steam deck but I really want it for the mega drive I’ve seen bootlegs but I would love to get an official release

I will be playing this tomorrow my mrs got me a C64 mini for Christmas(she thinks I don’t know ) hope it’s the black edition I already have a memory stick ready to go and I made sure Usagi Yojimbo is on there I have so many good memories of playing this back in the day always had to rely on my older brother to help me out at some tricky parts can’t wait to relive some of the classics

@Guru_Larry return of death adder is also on the sega Astro mini which you can probably get for around £140 as a cheaper alternative to the 1up cabs

It’s chase hq this is why it’s never appeared on any of the Taito arcade collections they have been waiting for this moment

@Pillowpants you’re right about aquatic ambience it’s an outstanding piece of music and could easily stand on its own it’s mesmerising

@RossoftheRobots thanks for the reply sounds stupid but it’s a feature I’ve always wanted

@Damo can’t wait to get mine I’m so glad it’s reviewed well I just wanna know can you have the backlight on when you are playing a game and it’s inserted in the controller

Nightdive are great I recently picked up powerslave exhumed on the eshop sale and absolutely love it my most played game on switch 2 so will be picking this up too

I think I will be getting this I’m not keen on the bright yellow but I love that illuminated front panel my only beef with Atari and it goes all the way back to the original is the controller having only one fire button wish they would put one on the other side it’s a pain if you are left handed

Rarity aside I’ve really enjoyed playing this game through emulation glad to see its steam deck verified it’s only £12.56 at the moment grabbing this whilst it’s at that price

Hope we get an Arcade Archives release of Rave Racer I absolutely love the ps5 version of Ridge racer it’s so good with a wheel it’s like having the arcade machine at home until it was released I still played the ps1 original using a Namco Negcon one of my favourite series of all time

@Martin_H it is indeed a great game played 1000 miglia a lot back in the day at an arcade near Blackpool I mainly play it through Mame on steam deck now but it’s very similar to Neo drift out both games are great for a quick blast

One of my favourite SNES games the graphics could have been better but the music is amazing it’s so atmospheric and I love the way you can spin your whip or just leave it dangling to kill some enemies this and Rondo of blood on PC engine are stone cold classics especially love the music on the level with the water drips

@obijuankanoobie can’t seem to find any option to turn blood off in Shinobi just had a quick go now but that’s on PS5 not sure about PC maybe watch a video on YouTube and see what you think cos it’s quite cartoonish it’s a shame cos I think Shinobi is slightly better but to be honest they are both amazing games

@obijuankanoobie not sure about Shinobi but NGRB definitely has an option in the pause menu

I have NGRB on steam deck and it runs wonderfully I’ve just got Shinobi in the post this morning for PS5 I wanted a physical copy wish I had known about this deal but anyway I can play Shinobi on steam deck through Chiaki which works flawlessly for me it’s been great much better than using the PS Portal

Literally played this for the first time the other day on steam deck its actually quite impressive but can’t see it having much replay ability

Absolutely loved the Amiga it seemed like a massive step up from my C64 I remember being blown away by Xenon 2 not the actual game but the music Cannon fodder speedball 2 Gods all had fantastic music I have modern consoles but I still find myself going back to the Amiga played Lotus 2 just a few days ago such an amazing computer definitely one of my favourites saying it’s 40 makes me feel old

@Carck came to say exactly the same thing I have it on Dreamcast wasn’t aware of a PS2 version

I had this on GameCube I just thought at the time it was so different and I’ve recently got it sale on steam been playing through it on steam deck great game I would like to see it on switch 2 or PS5 give a new audience a chance to experience it
