My first CV game, despite having an NES in 1990 and a Sega Genesis when Sonic 2 came out, was Circle of the Moon all the way later on the GBA. I've since gone back and beat the whole series (other than the Lords of Shadows games and the 3D entries on N64) and adore pretty much all of it.
Super Castlevania IV is up there as having one of the best soundtracks on the SNES, and that's saying a lot considering some of the absolute classics on that system.
I'd heard on an old Retronauts that Final Fantasy IX in Japanese was chock full of references to earlier games, but I was unaware of most of it (they didn't really go into detail). A Sasune reference! We'd have all missed it at the time in English at least, but as a huge FF3 fan now, I sort of retrospectively miss the reference
Of course a few months after I finally pull the trigger on a Vectrex, they announce a mini console lol. Still, AMOLED is nice, but it won't exactly replicate the original hardware experience, so that's something. In any case, this is a cool project! I may pick one up, depending on cost
This sucks - I just placed an order with them literally Sunday, when I got my first PSP Go (I also grabbed some stands for the Game & Watches I have). I'm glad I got an order in under the wire - they shipped them out yesterday. They were always high quality, and pretty often cheaper than everything else you could find on Etsy... Dang.
