The game looks mostly good, but that main character sprite looks so janky. It's really missing the polish that came with games of the NES era.

I figured they would censor this game. I've played the Saturn version, and while it is pretty mild stuff, I knew it wouldn't fly on any of the modern platforms. A shame.

Already have an Analogue Pocket, so this thing was never for me anyway.

He is absolutely right that it's not as good as Tetris. Honestly, it's not even in the same galaxy as Tetris. I've personally never found Dr. Mario to be very good in general. Nintendo didn't make a Tetris quality puzzle game until Panel de Pon (aka Tetris Attack/Puzzle League). Panel de Pon is the only puzzle game ever made that I feel is as good as Tetris. It's an incredible game.

Salamander 3 alone makes the collection worth it to me. The rest of the games I can already play on my MiSTer anyway in various forms.

Legendary game in a legendary series. Really wish Sega would make a new one.

Can't wait for this next week!

There's something really off about a lot of the pixel art in this game. Like that giant pig monster in the trailer doesn't even look like it's part of the same environment as the rest of the elements on the screen.

I'm just going to say it. Gunstar Super Heroes is better than Gunstar Heroes. It plays better. It looks better. It's awesome.

Given how good the recent GCN pro controller was from them, I'm definitely getting one of these.

I see the game has both cloth tearing and screen tearing!

Raw Thrills really needs to release more of their stuff on PC and consoles. I think the only one to ever make the jump is Cruis'n Blast? And it was awesome!

Shame that the bit rate is kind of destroying that trailer. Need to wait for a higher quality version to really get a feel for the game. But seems promising at least from what we can see.

Otomedious Excellent here I come! ....but nobody will bother to convert it. 😭

Hate that my old copy of the game isn't backwards compatible on newer Xbox consoles.

I can't even say what I want to about this without likely facing an insta ban. And frankly, it's just not good for my mental health to engage in this stuff these days.

Calling them "mistakes" implies that they weren't deliberate insidious practices that were intentionally implemented to scam customers.

I can confirm that it runs like butt on the Steam Deck. The frame rate is all over the place. Assume the Switch version will be even worse.

Wow, I forgot this was still coming to Neo Geo. I played the game forever ago on my Switch.

@BulkSlash Just a heads up that the game has issues on Steam Deck. There are times when the game requires you to type using the Deck's virtual keyboard. But the virtual keyboard instantly pops up automatically and covers up the text that is asking you to type something. So you need to hide the keyboard to see what it is the game wants from you, but then bringing up the keyboard again also brings up the game's options menu, so you can no longer type what you need to. Basically leading to a soft lock or unskippable loop.

A shame that they never fixed the first game's translation issue where battle text was reversed. Basically when you attack an enemy, the text says the enemy attacked you, and vice versa. Actually insane that was never patched.

Time to test this baby out!....for research! 👀

I just added custom firmware to my PSPs like a month ago and ran into this very issue! I'll have to try this out soon.

@Daniel36 Xenoblade isn't floating islands though? I think you have a misconception of what Xenoblade is.

I mean...yes? Of course they're only as good as they're programed to be. That's beyond common sense. What an odd statement to make.

If only someone could crack the protection code/chip or whatever this thing is using so the rest of the world could try it. Seems impossible though at this point.

@Dehnus Oh I'm aware of how difficult it is. That's why nobody has done it after all these years. That's why Sega is ultimately the one who needs to release a true definitive version of the game. There really is no genuine definitive version of Skies of Arcadia, and that is a shame.

If someone could fix the GCN version's horrendous audio, then we'd truly have a definitive version of the game.

@ChromaticDracula Unfortunately, they have no plans on releasing a rom for the game. If you want it in digital format, Steam is the only option.

That idiot is going to bury us. And every person who voted for him will deserve it.

This turned out so well that it's literally the best home port ever made of Mortal Kombat II.

They 100% just ensured that someone will do this now by ripping the game to their PC.

Simple for him, but the current programmers weren't able to pull off what he did. His version had smooth scrolling. The Pixel Remasters do not.

Someone seriously needs to hire him a brand manager, because holy moly are the names of his products bad marketing. Which is a crying shame considering how good the products are. This feels like cognitive dissonance when he says that he wants to remove barriers, while also putting up barriers on the marketing side of things.

I did a play through of Final Fight 2 not long ago, and never really got the impression that it needed something like this. Nice for those who want to try it though.

Is it seriously called the SS One? Or am I reading that wrong? Great products, but he desperately needs a brand manager to create names for his products.

Such a shame that you need a Japanese account for them. Which is something I am not willing to do.

Christmas miracle? More like Christmas MiraLAX, because he's so full of crap.

So just how much of the game is actually here? Only the first stage? Half the game? Most of it?

A bit of a shame that he didn't use the Japanese version of Ninja Gaiden 3, since the western release was so busted with its limited continues, increased damage, and cruel item placement.

Still, this version of the Trilogy blows away the official one from Tecmo. That version had ear piercing audio, missing effects like parallax scrolling, horrendous button mapping with no option to fix it, etc. etc.

Devil Blade Reboot is my game of the year (tied with Unicorn Overlord). Easily shmup of the year, and I've been singing its praises ever since it released!

Yep, I have one of these, and it is fantastic. Easily the best wireless GCN controller I have tried out. Way better than the NYXI Warrior.

Right after they pulled it from the digital storefront. Pretty scummy.

When do these usually go up on PSN? It's up on Switch already, but not PSN.

I was able to get this running on my MiSTer a couple days ago, and it's shockingly good! Very fun little high score racer.

I'll still play the new remaster over this version any day. If only because you can actually see the game.

Nice to see Shadow Hearts on the list! Also a little shocked that the Dragon Quest games aren't higher on the list.

Not surprising at all. Sega is usually pretty hands off with stuff like this, but when your project is an obvious scam, even Sega will pounce on you, and rightfully so. You do not want your brand associated with scamming people.

I've noticed the lag myself. Punch-Out is always a good test for it. On MiSTer (and on my NES back in the day), I had no problem beating Mike Tyson. On Switch though? It's waaayy harder. I've done it, but it's insane just how much more difficult it really is, and how much more you need to rely on memorization rather than reaction.

It's on track, but it's taking longer than planned. XD

Anyway, the game looks beyond incredible, so no worries on the delay! Can't wait to get my hands on the game.

There is no saving this one. It's vaporware, and even if it does actually materialize at some point, the damage is already done. Nobody will trust them enough to actually buy in on it. I sure as heck won't.
