@Green_Devil So, if you're wanting to write an article about price increases, how does one do it without mentioning politics? It's like writing an article about modern games and how a lot of them have been increasing in price; you can't ignore the factors for the price increase (ever increasing budgets, shareholders wanting ever increasing profits, etc) .
I feel like I'm experiencing a Mandela Effect. I've never heard anyone say N64 was hard to emulate until this video and the associated comments. Sega Saturn? Absolutely. I've heard people say it was challenging for years, but not N64.
@Cheddar_Cheeseman That's not accurate. Both of the most well known PC light gun options (Sinden and AimTrak) have recoil.
@slider1983 It's not. It's available on Sinden's site.
@-wc- Pretty sure the article is talking about the fact you need a PC, an emulator, a rom, and calibrating Sinden (which can be a pain I've heard). The other option is finding a CRT and an original light gun. Thus, playing Time Crisis has been unobtainable for many people (i.e. casual players).
@PopetheRev28 Switch and PC are last gen? Runs on PS5 via backwards compatibility, so I'm failing to see how it's last gen only.
@KitsuneNight SNK published this, so they have no bearing on Fighting Jam getting published. BTW, I can't stop watching your profile pic gif. It's very... animated...
@NEStalgia It was even crazy back then. That's why stores didn't carry the game. That's why it was censored on PS2. It has nothing to do with "over-censored political correctness." Only Acclaim would've pulled a stunt like this for shock value; it wasn't the only time either. They were desperate because they were on the verge of bankruptcy.
@Hyena Riiiight. You play for the "gameplay and music." And people go to Hooters for the wings. 😏
@CasePB That's not specific to just games today. Plenty of games throughout the years have been all look and no substance.
@MarkyVigoroth Same here. I loved BMX 2, so I'm bummed to hear we missed out on it.
@Chocoburger You took me off guard with the "first person shooter" comment. Really? Weird.
@Chocoburger Really makes think I should create my own branding agency. I get paid big bucks even though my client doesn't end up using anything I came up with? Sounds awesome.
@foodmetaphors Is it really that amazing? The names don't sell the product. The product does. How many video game system actually had a good name? There's not a whole lot.
Maybe it's because I was born in the early 90s, so I was too young to appreciate it, but the og Game Boy did nothing for me. Imo, most of the good games were just simplified versions of games I could play better versions of on home consoles. Pokémon is one of the only exclusives that stands out to me.
I feel like the Game Boy Advance was a huge step up from the GB. It still had console ports, but there were a lot of creative games like Boktai and Drill Dozer, plus the always reliable Pokémon and Mega Man Battle Network games.
I think I put the most time into DS and 3DS though. It continued the original ideas that were on GBA, but with the added touch screen and 3D graphics. I had to randomly pick between DS and 3DS.
PSP was fine, but the game library just couldn't stack up with the DS. Never owned a Vita (plan to buy one soon), but I feel the library didn't stack up with the 3DS. I don't think it helped that Sony basically abandoned support as soon as the PS4 took off.
Switch is great too, but I feel like it's still too soon to consider it as the best.

Re: Yes, You Can Buy Virtual Boy Merch At The Nintendo Museum
@nocdaes How is VR not decent now? Virtual Boy can't even be compared to VR. VR requires tracking. The Virtual Boy was solely 3D.
@Blast16 Did you read the article? Nintendo has acknowledged it over the years.
"it appeared in Tomodachi Life, WarioWare and even as a bonus item in the 3DS StreetPass mode."

@CornNoble C'mon, you know why. Drama gets clicks. People say they don't like it, but they love negativity. It's why ragebait gets so much attention.

Re: $150 Handheld MiSTer With AMOLED Screen Starts To Take Shape
@nocdaes I want the accuracy of FPGA without needing to spend tons of money on carts. Software emulation on other devices is not the same.

PS5 isn't selling at a loss now. It's breaking even.
Also, why is a 10th gen handheld crazy? It's most likely what Microsoft is doing. Nintendo is probably doing a system similar to the Switch too.
