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
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
@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....
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
@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
@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
@N64-ROX It's looking like the latter, their flagship model might be even better than most people's MiSTer builds, with more in/out ports Unlike stuff like the MARS, Taki Udon's thing is going to run all the same cores, so it's not really a different FPGA product so much as it is a cheaper motherboard than the DE10-Nano that has the same parts on it
SN30 Pro is yesterday's news, make a metal Pro 2 and maybe I'll care Or better yet, a Pro 3, with the same layout and four remappable back buttons, hand it over!
I feel like a lot of people in this comments section don't know the full story? Not only is Pacnsacdave a racist, having made the RC Pro-Am and Goonies rom hacks "Adolf Hitler's Master Racing" and more inexcusably "**** N******" (look it up! I'm not kidding), but he's also a plagiarist, having stolen work from a private test build of the Ninja Gaiden rom hack collab "Deadpool" so he could shove in worse level designs that misunderstand the flow of the original game and sell it as his own work, mostly to fill shelf space in his Etsy store as a boutique repro for people with more money than sense, as he often does.
Considering his publicly documented loose sense of ethics I'm not at all surprised he's using rape as a preorder bonus.
I wonder what "Rescue Force: Hereos (sic) Unchained" is plagiarizing from? The art already looks AI generated, check out those fingers, makes the Color Dreams back catalogue look like the Louvre
Thank you TimeExtension for calling it like it is, and to those defending this guy, either you haven't heard, or more likely, you sympathize with his views considering the petty name-calling you're using infantilizes people who call out bigotry for what it is.
Contrary to your worldview, people generally pick their battles and don't call things out as racist unless there's a solid reason for it.
Don't listen to the reactionaries who want this website to just be an uncritical regurgitation of the past, the retro game community shouldn't trap itself in amber, it's a living document that blends technology of the past with the hindsight of the present and foresight for the future, as it ought to be.
We owe it to each other to approach sensitive topics with nuance and depth and accountability, lest we get hoodwinked by people using retro gaming to shoehorn their backwards "retvrn" logic on those who don't know any better.

Re: Pre-Vanillaware Saturn Classic 'Princess Crown' Finally Gets An English Translation, Thanks To Fans
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
More details here:
