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

That’s a tough choice as I prefer the original to others where different gameplay elements got added the original is just a pure arcade racer but ridge racers 1 and 2 for psp are like a best of from everything that came before I went for the original as I still play it quite often and with a negcon it’s superb

@Hikingguy it’s a great game pretty bare bones when it comes to options but it’s like a modern day version of smash tv an unrelated game that I love at the moment is Andro Dunos 2 same principle to gameplay but really well made can’t recommend it enough

I bought this on switch in the sale and really enjoyed it so ended up buying it for Dreamcast noticed the silly prices on eBay which is just odd cos you can go on bitmap bureau shop and get it great game that seems tough at first becomes much easier with repeated play

3rd strike without a doubt not just a great street fighter game but one of my all time favourite games

Gunstar heroes is still an amazing game even now, I would say Hellfire is one of the megadrives best certainly better than zero wing I think it only gets attention cos of its hilarious intro and I have always preferred Thunderforce 3 to 4 yes 4 is impressive but it’s insanely difficult and what about super fantasy zone I think it gets forgotten about cos it wasn’t released in the US but it’s a fantastic game

Love the original ridge racer and I would definitely buy a remastered version but with the same controls and physics managed to get myself a negcon in lockdown got me interested in the game again now I have it mastered there is nothing else that controls like it still an amazing game just the graphics are looking really choppy but playability is still definitely there

I would buy this in a heartbeat I have a drawer on my desk dedicated to VMUs the capacity is laughable and the weird thing is they all have different amounts of blocks

@Zeropulse wow never seen or heard of that game but man the similarities to splatoon are unbelievable

This has scam written all over from the beginning it’s like the gizmondo saga some people will have become very rich from this

@Hikingguy I use an acer nitro monitor with my Dreamcast and it looks and runs superbly I got the monitor recently but you really have to look around for a monitor with vga and as for tvs it’s very rare these days

@Xiovanni it is actually playable to a certain degree the cd image is out there I downloaded it out of curiosity but you can see it had the makings of a decent game

Wonder if this would work on the retroflag gpi case I have rechargeable batteries but they only last around 5 hours

@SpringDivorce yeah I have ikari warriors too gonna try it out thanks for letting me know 👍🏻

@SpringDivorce oh man does it work on ps3 I know it’s a PlayStation mini but all this time I genuinely didn’t know it worked on PS3 😂

@datamonkey it’s great on GBA but my personal favourite remake is on PSP/Vita it’s a great version with improved graphics and the sound is a lot like the Amiga

@datamonkey it’s definitely playable but the sound is awful it repeats the first few bars of the main tune but in a whiny megadrive kinda way and no ice cream , ice cream during replays plus it doesn’t look quite as sharp

Great selection of games but all the versions mentioned are inferior to the Amiga versions of these games

Such a shame this got cancelled looks great this is the first time I’ve actually seen footage would have been day one for me absolutely love the Dreamcast even down to its super loud disc access noise maybe things could have been different if it had more high profile 3rd party releases

Bought zero wing complete boxed for 99p from cash generator thought it was a mistake so quickly took it to the till I sold it 2 years later for £50 it’s a fairly decent game not as good as Hellfire though

@carlos82 ha 😂 it was classic tv he seamed to disappear for ages after that think he is a tattooist now

Used to love games master hope it really does make a comeback seeing Dave the games animal Perry getting beat off that kid on Mario 64 was priceless

@GrailUK thanks gonna have a look now have you ordered from there before

@GrailUK can I ask where you ordered from it’s just I want one but don’t wanna get stung with customs charges or anything like that

@andykara2003 I play crazy taxi quite often I’m trying to beat a score I set in 2006 I can’t seem to get anywhere close to it 😂 if I have friends around it’s usually soul Calibur or SF 3rd strike but mostly I’m a high score chaser so games like zero gunner 2 or psyvariar 2, cannon spike and I love shenmue 1 and 2 just got 3 for the PS4 to finish the story off

Amazing console still use mine every weekend had it since launch never heard of this problem before not even on the Dreamcast junkyard and they pretty much know everything. Gotta say Quake 3 arena played amazing well online and Unreal tournament not just phantasy star online

@Krockman “have a blast” awesome game !

@MeowMeowKins yeah I know but I would like the look of the Astro city cabinet I know they have a mini version coming out but I prefer the bar top style

This looks great it’s the perfect size too just wish sega would do something similar

@X68000 oh lol I kinda skimmed though the article that’s great news I really do need to get hold of this

@Emob I know what you mean I have changed the fan for a quieter version but I have 2 usable DC and a couple more for parts my noisy one is a UK launch console which has had its fair share of use I try not to use it often but I feel something like this would save it

I need this my Dreamcast drive has got a little noisy over the past few years plus I have quite a few games that I would love to continue to play hopefully this will future proof my dc just I’m not great with soldering irons

That d-pad tho

@RetroGamerAndrew that’s what’s stopping me from purchasing I know I will be billed on delivery wish some European distributor had a deal with analog would be much easier

@mikegamer really depends on your tv I have a toshiba which has a proper rgb channel and the megadrive looks great but I have seen them running on cheap TVs and you get horrible shimmer effects and they look grainy

@RetroGamerAndrew is analog not a German company I want to get one but I’m worried about unexpected bills upon delivery

@Damo nice it looks exactly the same as my Uk version just with the blue start button but I have replaced the leds on mine with blue ones
Yeah and the Uk is not microswitched we always got cheaper versions back in the day

Nice I have thought about getting this but I have my modded original console but I would like this for convenience and future proofing my collection but what I really wanna know is who does that arcade power stick belong to it’s Uk spec but has a blue start button very unusual

Vaporware I like the idea but don’t think it will ever be available and where are these service centres gonna be

Looks good but before I saw who developed it I would have put money on bitmap brothers it has that metal look to it like speed ball 2 and the music sounds like it’s come from an Amiga

I probably will get one of these but I’m not keen on the filter options I love to see these games in all their pixilated glory I always turn off the filters when I play neo games on the switch the more I think about it tho the more I think these are better played on the switch and I could buy quite a few off the eshop for the price of this
