Someone should make a video game out of the Shakespeare play with the same title

Josh Fairhurst officially changing his name to Josh Unfairhurst

@GravyThief I miss RetroUSB and InfiniteNESLives so much, come back!

god I can't wait until they crack the exA copy-protection (ShouTime disliked this post)

if by "titillation" you mean "Shigeki Baba erasure"

@N64-ROX yes, Ryuji Goda's finely sculpted asscheeks must be restored

Geometry Wars enjoyers: You took everything from me!
Robert "Bobby" ""Moneyball"" Kotick: I don't even know who you are

ah yes Barbara Broccoli my favorite VeggieTales character

@Quick_Man
keep this in mind every time people open their disingenuous mouths

"A Narcissist's Prayer:

That didn't happen.

And if it did, it wasn't that bad.

And if it was, that's not a big deal.

And if it is, that's not my fault.

And if it was, I didn't mean it.

And if I did...

You deserved it."

@Steel76 yeah it's the other 200 things that we won't survive

I was reading elsewhere apparently Intellivision told them they had the rights when they actually didn't but by the time they found out it was too late, so this has just been sitting on the shelf until Atari was like, you know what this game is pretty good and we have the rights let's put it out
It doesn't exactly feel like Breakout is that reliant on the name though, they could've renamed it to something else because block breakers are as old as time immemorial, but the real question is, is this game a worthy competitor to games like Shatter that appear to have far more going on visually and mechanically, or is it riding off the name? Guess we'll see in time
I do like the Mizuguchian synesthesia element with your actions crafting the music, it's reminiscent of Tetris Effect for sure but it's my understanding bit.trip did that sort of thing predating Tetris Effect

this is bana- @RealBroosh god damn it

@Sawboss read my comment above

@PZT "I can have fun here, fun! And you want to take it all away!"

I think it sucks how people who are into this hobby often think that they have the right to live in the past forever and tend not to have a healthy relationship with the present, lashing out when the world outside intrudes on their nostalgia because they let everything else in their life atrophy in the meantime
Worse still is when they try to correct you on stuff, confidently wrong, because they want to pretend everything is okay all the time, when they don't even have the vocabulary to engage with the concepts on the same level as you because they've been gaming exclusively without doing stuff like reading, like I said, it's atrophy, the brain is a muscle, use it or lose it
"It's escapism! Can't you see? It's not healthy!" ~ that one ***** from Final Fantasy Tactics Advance who we all hated but he was kinda right

@Blofse yeah it's called a "protection racket"

hmm, it seems even the people who are supposedly satisfied with these turns of events have to perform olympian-level mental gymnastics to rationalize away a tsunami of cruelty and desolation that dwarfs anything we've seen in our lifetimes by orders of magnitude (save for that painting at the Denver Airport with the dude who has a gas mask, an AK and a cutlass), lest they allow themselves to experience even a crumb of buyer's remorse!
oh well, maybe things will be different in our next life, gotta stay positive!

they had to have at least mentioned behind closed doors the Saudi royal family owning SNK

@Oersted_LAL
"get a brain! morans"

if we're getting unreleased games in City Connection's possession pls release Lionex for NES the people demand it

Who amogus can say they were not compelled to buy a PS Vita the moment they saw Kevin Spacey shilling it on House of Cards in his fake southern accent

Sounds cool in its own right, it could've been Clover's own Doshin the Giant, Cubivore, Aquanaut's Holiday etc

@KingMike no, there is no official NES-styled Micro, only Famicom

hate to be that person (lol who am I kidding) but the Famicom Micro did actually come out here as the Special 20th Anniversary Edition, it's pretty much identical except for the box and the regionality of the words on the back shell

"Please go ahead and report some of our legal team employees" LMAO

@WileyDragonfly this is a retro game site not CDAN

hmm, does this new port of NG3 use the limited continues and 3x damage multiplier for enemies from the US version that they put in to discourage the rental market, or the original difficulty from the JP version? ideally there would be a setting in the options menu

@John_Deacon you remembered right, these new homebrew ports are different from NGT, the Trilogy release on SNES has green blood, censored dialogue, altered physics and worse music
so basically they gave it the Super Mario All-Stars treatment

No sprite flicker?!? Looks like you kids are gonna have to LEARN that one jump in Act 6-2

if they weren't Europeans they could call it something related to Genesis like "RevelationsFPGA" or something

Odin Sphere has that quiet elegance to it, but I bet Princess Crown ***** like a tiger

SuperSmegma bros..we lost....

@Serpenterror this ***** is so funny, every time I see Yuji Naka's MSPaint scribbles on this old photo I crack up
dam I had no clue the smoke monster from LOST worked on NiGHTS into Dreams....

this is really mice to see

Just the other day I was wondering if Ultimate Showdown was getting locked to PS4 forever

Rich Whitehouse continues to give people reasons he's a god amongst men

pre-emptively going off about potential action from Nintendo is sensationalist handwringing imo, like, it's not great that it's paid but they have bigger fish to fry
there have been all sorts of sold Donkey Kong homebrews over the years that never elicited any sort of legal action, e.g. Donkey Kong 2 arcade conversion kits, Donkey Kong Pie Factory from RetroUSB, Classic Kong, the list goes on

X (formerly known as Game Boy Color)

just wait until you guys discover Magical Mirror Starring Mickey Mouse

Can't have ***** in Detroit

Hate to be the baron of bad news but unless you're really itching to play this today I suggest continuing to wait, the people who wrote the code and translated script didn't sign off on this and the translation was made with an unfinished version of their work that they have described as being a "0.2" version in desperate need of improvement, as opposed to their "0.9" version they're still working on

reminder that Croc sold about as many copies as Banjo, history tends to have a Nintendo bias

based and crocpilled

Manhattan Requiem for Switch, J.B. Harold 2, DOES have English text, however, probably want to add that

based and crocpilled

@jamesamong007 can we stop posting this in response to literally every fan project? it's not true and it has a chilling effect on people making cool things for us to enjoy, go take your uninformed pessimism somewhere else

@JackGYarwood Just happened to play it, it was in VGHF's 1994 exhibit, there were also playable stands for Snatcher and some version of Beethoven's 2nd and probably something else I'm forgetting, but unless the latter is an alternative dump those have already been out there of course
It's not an expanded version of Caught in the Act as much as it is solely levels that were removed from the final game, it's the lost "& Knuckles" to the game's "Sonic 3", it doesn't have the levels from retail as far as I can tell I mean unless they're dummied out in the level select or something

We don't know if the Robin Hood level is in the game yet, also it's PZTunleaded

Oh hey that's me

@NickStarling with all due respect, making drones that kill people and spending millions financially backing the right-wing is wrong, things that he has done entirely out in the open, sorry to be the baron of bad news
