@sdelfin yeah always wondered why ,like you say Alien v predator is on capcom home arcade but not available as a standalone title for current consoles. I play Neo drift out on Dreamcast using neo4all it’s a great game but there is a lag with the sound plays perfectly tho just always wanted it to be released on switch

Neo drift out is a superb game should be part of the arcade archives releases but I guess they were keeping it back for this I just thought it was cos of the licensing but I guess they renewed the license for this. Bang bead is pretty addicting it’s great with 2 players

@TeamBigRig I have the mega drive/genesis controller it’s great I use on my original MD and MD mini it actually feels like the original MD 6 button that’s why I was interested as to what retrobit was gonna do for the Dreamcast controller but I like this it kinda looks like a switch pro controller

Been looking into a wireless solution for the DC this looks great I actually like the little VMU pod hope they do it in black transparent . Whatever happened to the retrobit Dreamcast controller I heard they were making one a while ago but can’t find any more info

I remember playing H.E.R.O on C64 and Hunchback loved those games still play them today on C64 mini I also remember getting Wizball for free in a bundle and for whatever reason didn’t play it but when I did I was hooked

I find those release dates odd as the European version actually has improvements over the Japanese version if you play them both the JP version kinda feels unfinished in many ways I would have thought there would have been a massive gap between releases as Europe was always an afterthought in those days great game tho and it still looks nice today the level with the horse is amazing the galloping sound and the music is outstanding

This is great news love the Neo Geo cd controller switch compatibility would be amazing seeing as I have a lot of Neo Geo games on it but I suppose this would work with the 8bitdo wireless adapter

@mjparker77 yeah I agree outrun 2 has much more of a flow to it you can drift from one corner into the next effortlessly where as it feels a bit janky in slipstream

The Dreamcast was an amazing console with so much potential but it seems like Sega was a company at odds with itself every story that I read about them points out the fact that Sega Japan simply didn’t trust Sega of America it’s such a shame as in the megadrive/Genesis days they gained a decent market share but that was cos of the fact they let Sega US tailor the software to that region

Wave game studios have it in stock from the original print run I’ve bought a couple of Dreamcast games from them and they have been great super reliable and reasonable prices cheaper than pixel heart

The Japanese converters that were available in the early 90s were such a waste of money all you had to do was file off the little edges that stick out on the MD cartridge slot and away you go but in all honesty the only game that wouldn’t work was Rolling Thunder 2 strangely a lot of European games wouldn’t work on a JP MD like sensible soccer Choas engine. It’s hit and miss my MD has been modded for years and is switchable between 50/60 Hz and that seems to be something to do with it for example sensible soccer won’t work if I boot it straight from 60Hz however if I boot it in 50Hz and then switch it to 60Hz after the sega logo then it works perfectly and that’s the same for a lot of games

Love this game I rented it that much when I was younger and first got a megadrive the owner of the video store asked if I wanted to buy it think I was one of very few people with a Japanese MD as it wouldn’t work on my friends uk MD even with the converter he let me have it at a really discounted price still have it today the box art is one of my favourite of all time. Always baffled why they called themselves Namcot tho

Yeah I remember seeing this in magazines and it did look great but the gameplay was awful the Amiga was capable of so much more. At the time my older brother had just started working so he bought a super famicom and I chose final fight Guy although that version played better it still left a lot to be desired not a patch on streets of rage 2

Not played resident evil 4 since the original on GameCube im excited for this day one for me

@Razieluigi I agree they can’t be trusted and even if they were to release an all new castlevania half of it would be hidden behind a paywall with ridiculous micro transactions

@sdelfin the Dreamcast pad is pretty bad it’s useable not bad for racers it’s very similar to the Saturn analog controller which again was great for racing games but the Saturn controller was and probably still is the best for fighters

As arcade games are my thing the Dreamcast wins hands down for me I know the Saturn had its fair share of arcade games but the ones that were released in the west usually got an upgrade on Dreamcast anyway. Mega drive was my first console and I still have it whilst it’s an amazing console the Dreamcast still pips it for me the official arcade stick and a Dreamcast with capcom and SNK fighters is my idea of gaming heaven

I have the SNES MD and Amiga mini have to say the emulation on the Mega Drive mini is pretty much spot on it’s probably my most played on I have recently discovered that the 8bitdo arcade stick functions 100% on the Amiga I know it’s not ideal for every type of game on the system but it’s definitely a step up from the original controller the chaos engine plays amazingly with it

@Shiryu well it’s a great game so a happy mistake I guess must be worth a decent amount nowadays

@Shiryu I remember the pal box it was huge was it just to accommodate a guide book

Just repaired and setup my ps2 after reading this I have a negcon which completely transforms the way the ps1 and ps2 games play once you get the hang of it feels amazing probably the best arcade racers ever made

@Andee it’s definitely not as fast or as thrilling as the Thunder force games but I feel it has pretty deep gameplay and the music on the MD is excellent saying that the Thunder force games have amazing soundtracks too

@SonOfDracula it’s just because of the all your base line in the intro other than that it’s fairly generic

@MarioBrickLayer yeah I hope they all get released but the wait for Metroid Prime 4 seems like it’s gone on forever I have read in some reviews that this looks incredible one of the best looking games on the switch I’m really excited to get this

Waiting for the end of the month to get it physical not played this since it originally came out on the GameCube so hopefully it will feel like a new game

@Soupbones thanks that’s great news I really liked the port of Gleylancer on switch as it included the original and an enhanced version I would love all retro releases to go down that route but I’m definitely in for this day 1

Great games although I always feel zero wing gets mentioned more than hellfire but I personally think hellfire is the superior game. The megadrive version of hellfire is a lot better than the arcade version hope they include the MD version as a bonus

That is a nice looking game gear in the picture at the top always found it quite difficult to get hold of the games at the time the console was out so didn’t actually play many before I sold mine

Really regret selling my Neo Geo pocket always found it difficult to get games the beat em ups that were on the system were surprisingly deep for a handheld console great little console and the d pad was outstanding I remember getting a ridiculous amount of time from the batteries

This looks amazing I have been playing quite a few pinball games recently got an A500 mini and been playing slam tilt a hell of a lot also devil crash on the megadrive mini superb games hope this makes it to switch as the screen is perfect for pinball games if you use it in Tate mode

@GOmar it might be a waste but if you have a large collection it’s a means of having a brand new machine instead of one that’s over 20 years old

I’m not getting my hopes up for a Dreamcast 2 but I would like Hyperkin to get the nod from sega to produce a new Dreamcast based on the original with modern features such as ability to copy your disc games to sd card just to future proof my collection

I voted the Dreamcast arcade stick as I’ve had mine 22 years and it still works and feels amazing every time I use it (I did vote for it but it says 0% lol) as far as modern controllers go the elite series 2 is a thing of beauty and has a hefty feel to it my worst has to be Wii mote absolutely awful pain inducing kids toy the Wii u classic controller was amazing it’s battery was outstanding very easy to live with

Sega should just get onboard with this these books are high quality

This is indeed excellent News always kept hold of confidential mission and house of the dead 2 in hope some solution would be found im definitely in the market to buy a kit

Wish I had waited for this edition the packaging is cool but I’m glad I bought the game on switch it’s an absolute classic as mentioned the graphics and soundtrack are outstanding easily one of my favourite games on switch

I use rgb SCART for my PlayStation 1 and megadrive which still look’s amazing and vga for my Dreamcast I have tried the hdmi converters for those but I’m not keen on the look and the Dreamcast looks outstanding either on my tv or through a monitor

Last battle is awful got it for Christmas the year I got my MD it was quickly traded in I would add Dj boy and if I remember properly cutie Suzuki ringside angel a friend at school used to say it was the best game ever

I have actually played this whilst it was operational in Blackpool it was amazing makes you feel like you’re in the game

I absolutely adore this game still have it on my ps vita via ps1 emulation but back when this was released it was sitting there near the till in Game which at the time I think it was branded as electronics boutique for £14.99 brand new being a poor student at the time I didn’t buy I was buying some new release I just kick myself over and over again

I would love a Saturn mini as I have a Dreamcast with plenty of games I just don’t see it being possible on the emulation side of things and all the best Saturn games never made it to the US or UK so we would just get the average kind of stuff we have all played a million times over

Great game this always thought of it as a cross between Rez, Arkanoid and virtua tennis sounds crazy but it works and the super chilled out voice fits so well “have a blast” managed to get it at a reasonable price years ago and the packaging is completely different to other Dreamcast releases

A good quality hdmi conversion is what I want to get around to doing just to future proof my DC but to be honest I use vga through a Toshiba tv and it looks stunning also anyone wanting to do a PSU upgrade it’s worth spending that little extra and getting a decent one like the one shown above I bought one of the cheap ones of eBay and it gave a swirling effect on screen which becomes distracting it’s a shame cos the console ran really cool had to put the original PSU back and it can get quite hot at times

Shadow gangs Dreamcast it’s quite tough been really enjoying it load times are pretty long but hey it’s a new Dreamcast game in 2022 also been playing castlevania collection on switch

I have my Dreamcast set up so I use that quite a lot also have SNES and MD mini I’m really getting into handhelds at the moment I have a retroflag gpi I love it cos it’s form factor is pretty close to the original gameboy but I’m saving for a steam deck can’t wait to get one

@Gamecuber yeah it’s only a minor thing but like you say it puts me off buying one as well I have the mk1 mini MD with a ton of games on so I’m not too bothered and yeah the price seems a bit ridiculous

Didn’t that small vent at the front have a red power led I can’t remember ?

Great list but parappa the rapper is absolutely awful low grade trash

I had the exact one as in the picture traded 3 games and still payed £40 but I wanted it so bad I remember people would queue up to play it in the local arcade just had to have it at home the game was a genuine phenomenon at the time

@Muriustar yeah outrun 2006 is great it’s a miracle they got it running on the psp I still play that as well but I use my vita nowadays think my disc drive gave up on psp
