I have this on my PS2 Taito Legends 2. Not a great example of emulation, but the game seems fantastic. Sort of a vertical Rolling Thunder with more doors/puzzles. Great to see a re-release.
Fantastic list, I own and replay many of these games to this day. One title I also revisit is Sub-Terrania. I just love the clean visual style, the music is atmospheric, and of course the Thrust-style gravity/inertia centered gameplay. Nothing else quite like it and while it is uneven, and a steep learning curve, there’s something compelling about it. Two others that were great in their time were The Immortal (exploding heads) and the mani two-player duels in Star Control.
@BulkSlash yeah the gyro is cool - touch sensitive sticks to toggle it is neat. Nothing wrong with the old stuff. Amazing how quickly you accumulate stuff from Steam sales.
Some great items here. Couple of suggestions: Shadow Complex Binary Domain Dead Space Enslaved Pixeljunk Shooter Ultimate Strider (reboot) Titanfall 2 (too soon?)
@roadrunner343 I hear ya. They’d never do it, but a PCEngine GT remake, with a big screen, HDMI out would be great. With Switch, and Vita, it was one of the few software formats that really worked for console and handheld.
Awesome news. The Super NT is an incredibly high quality piece of kit. My only dissociate that they don’t have a PC Engine NT yet. Killing me with the hint about doing handheld.
@Dreamcaster-X I'll clarify my point - out of the box, it will play the CD-based library of those systems - without the added modules (which add the ability to play carts/use OG controllers, i.e. nothing to do with what I was ascribing value to). Thanks for the input.
I think $250 is reasonable if the compatibility out of the box is as they say. Between PS1, Saturn, Mega-CD and Turbo Duo you have a vast assortment of classic games that are not available on any digital store, previously only playable on original hardware, with the convenience of one box compatible with modern TVs. a LOT of questions remain, of course, and nothing here to drag me away from my Super NT (incredibly professional launch and support) or original hardware. Look forward to the reviews

Re: Flashback: Remembering The Glory Days Of Wii-Exclusive Ports
@Gamecuber my bad, I’d always assumed it was a port of the PS3 game.and a quick visit to Wikipedia and I see the PS3 version was the port.
Re: Flashback: Remembering The Glory Days Of Wii-Exclusive Ports
Dead Space Extraction and Manhunt 2 both brought a bit of mature game violence and novel control to the Wii with a couple of solid ports.
