@Sn0w I disagree with the assertion that simply reporting on it is wrong when TE has done a fine effort of also reporting on people's grievances, but the assertion that he's a warmonger fascist has largely bore out to be correct. You sound like yet another politically-uneducated person who thinks any attempt to bring nuance and outside context into our hobby is some kind of intolerable intrusion of the Lacanian real, and so you recoil in avoidance, to keep your world feeling small and comfortable. Those who hold water for the concept that to be nostalgic is to cocoon ourselves in a safe little bubble, who think that keeping the past alive means to escape into it completely, do us all a disservice. Nothing exists in a vacuum.
"word from the bottom of the ocean says James Pond is resurfacing this month" when was the last time you ever heard of something rising from the bottom of the ocean hello, Oceangate??? I rest my case
what a dumpsterfire idea, who has TG16 Hucards lying around but wouldn't also put money on a better way of playing them that doesn't have horrendous input lag the other Retron consoles are exclusively for normies who don't notice the input lag and horrendous lack of features, there is not a single TG16 fan who is a normie $100 and not at least being FPGA is inexcusable, the only valuable part is the controller having an original connector WHO IS THIS FOR???
to anyone who is wondering, in D-Input mode at least, ZL, ZR (both just marked as Z), and L3 are all mappable as their own separate buttons stick is presumably clickable because it would cost more to make it not clickable
@FR4M3 So? He's a billionaire who keeps saying over and over he's doing it for passion not money If that's really true he could at least give us something we haven't seen before
doing this with the N64 instead of like, the PS2 or Dreamcast or something that his resources would actually make a unique impact that would be hard to get development off the ground with any other way, is such a "normie billionaire trying to appear relatable" move
it's just retreading old ground, we have a MiSTer core, we have an Analogue console, wtf is the point
anybody who genuinely likes games, instead of pretending to like games (when really what he actually likes is the unconditional friendship he experienced as a kid with multiplayer Goldeneye when he had real friends and not just fake friends sucking up to him for money, which is why it's the N64), would definitely spend the money on better, more creative projects
why is money wasted on the most creatively bankrupt people
this is the exact same e-waste performativity as Musk and his flamethrowers and other similar nonsense
cringe vanity projects meant to further his image as an epic bacon redditor who is Just Like You because he too uses old game consoles as reactionary proxies to push a false schema of reality that things were universally better in the Good Old Days, screaming from his step-stool to anyone who will listen "remember what They took from you!!!" while refusing to specify who exactly "They" is
don't fall for it, he is a skinwalker
How could anybody think that VideoGameEsooooooterica was faking it, anybody saying that would have to be stupid and have no familiarity with the subject matter, he is literally the M2 guy
@Deuteros I hope it's better than DP2, it really lacked the verisimilitude of DP1, Greenvale felt like a living, breathing place compared to Le Carre which was super underbaked
@Nintega_Is_Eternal yeah Contra Force is a huge deal, like, most of these NES to SNES ports are cool but doing that to Contra Force will turn an unplayable game into a playable one
From the producers who played Max Payne That 60fps most of the time looks pretty impressive when compared against the compromised 30fps port Max Payne got
I think a missing piece here people don't often mention is that Nintendo has divebombed the reputation of the NES through shoddy emulation with input lag, bad color representation, and being incredibly stingy with what games they chose to represent the library It's a problem plaguing all retro games re-releases, but the NES has had it particularly bad, although there was a bit of a renaissance in the early 2010s culminating in 2016 with the Classic, but ever since it's been NSO, and IMO, it does not cut the mustard
other products: "here's a long-term support plan and clear release schedules"
Polymega: "it exists"
Analogue: "what DAC? we made a DAC? ssshhhhhh....puts finger over your mouth"
save states, cheats and rewind functionality? is this just the GBA rom in a wrapper? laaame, do a proper remaster pls
is this even gonna have GBA color correction or are they going to forget it?
Oh word? I need to get in on this How old were you when you realized FromSoft's two Xbox exclusive mech games, "Murakumo: Renegade Mech Pursuit" and "Chromehounds", are actually references to the original two factions in Armored Core on PS1, Chrome and Murakumo Now you know
seeing Shadow the Hedgehog in this eventually and other anachronistic characters is gonna be insane hell, even just fleshing out the unused but semi-playable ones like RocketMetal would be super cool the competitive scene for this game is nuts
unfortunately the kind of person intelligent enough to want a sequel to Mark of the Wolves is also the kind of person intelligent enough to know Saudi Arabia is a red line
@Vectrex wouldn't have to worry about being shut down if it was a Nintendo game too, idk why we insist on repeatedly overstating the danger and having a chilling effect on fan projects
@Damo Yeah because they know you're press and are trying to stay on your good side, that doesn't mean the average person off the street is going to have an equivalent experience

Re: Soon, You'll Be Able To Play Diddy Kong Racing Natively On Your PC
these headlines are so clickbaity, Paper Mario has been 100% for ages still no PC port, Nerrel showed Rocket Robot on Wheels and Superman 64 running on PC natively forever ago, still no port of those
it was a little irritating how he showed those as a proof-of-concept with "just to show you can do it with any old game" with an implied undercurrent of "who would ever want to play these", and then nothing ever mentioned about them again, because Rocket Robot on Wheels owns and I want to play it in glorious 120fps
the Nintendo-centric bias comes through even when their fans are talking about their own console's third-party libraries 😩
