The PS5 chapter is just a bunch of blank pages

@slider1983 Earnest Evans was honestly ahead of its time, imo it’s the Freddy got fingered of video games since it predicted the recent slew of games all about overcoming weird janky physics like sprint, getting over it, steppy pants, goat simulator etc. always respected it for how weird and experimental it was.

Anne Futatabi just plain sucks though that game has 0 redeemable qualities outside of the cutscenes😂

WAIT OMG I LOVE THIS TRILOGY ITS MAKING A COMEBAC-

“Edia, the Japanese company behind recent re-releases of Valis and Tenshi No Uta-“

…Oh.

@PopetheRev28 Their ceo believes prototype roms should be destroyed and abandoned because they “play like crap” and they use stolen fanart for some of their game releases on top of going after emulation communities so that they’re releases are the only way to play the game.

Also their collections are crap, the Jim power one is held together with sticks and spit and bugged out to the point half the screen was glitched and torn out all because I used the save state feature😂💀

That is the hardest title screen I've ever seen for a video game ngl

praying that SNES the Mask game with the insane pixel art and hyper-cocaine-fueled gameplay gets widespread attention by the internet at some point as well, that whole thing is basically just pizza tower before pizza tower was a thing and it rocks

Epic my GOATS

This looks absolutely perfect omg

I’m gonna be honest M2 should get hired to make games from the ground up more nowadays like with this and haunted castle revisited, imo it’s where they show their chops best especially with how poor their 4th generation console work tends to be unfortunately.

IM GOING TO EXPLODE

And I thought the turbografx box art was bad!

@-wc- no worries, that’s completely valid:>! I’m just talking in the mindset of someone purely playing these games through collections and emulations nowadays. All viewpoints are valid!👍

@NinChocolate I wouldn’t really say that about M2 either since they intentionally went out of their way to not include rondo or the European version of bloodlines on the Castlevania anniversary collection, nor the pc-engine cd Darius games for the Darius Cozmic collection console, on top of having no museum content for that awful collection either. Not to mention how every single one of their home console rereleases intentionally make none of the cheat codes originally coded into the game accessible. Another example albeit less egregious imo is how for the sega ages lineup a few years ago, they only ported the arcade version of Thunder force 3, rather than having the Sega Genesis version be available too. I like M2 as a company, but their rerelease track record is nowhere near as perfect as everyone hypes them up to be, IMO.

Working Designs were always a double edged sword. Sure, they were some of the first to localize more obscure Japanese games and bring them to the West/Eu, but at the same time, they did so by making so many unecessary changes to the gameplay that turned the games into miserable unfun slogs, because god forbid Little Jimmy try buying his games NOT through Blockbuster's Insanely sleezy rental pipeline😃!

@axelhander Ok Grandpa let's get you your meds

this whole thing is making the Amico look like Shovel Knight in comparison dear god

Not huge on them still keeping the corny “tails has been kidnapped!!11” plot line but otherwise this looks insanely cool!

Hope that Lamborghini gets totaled

@mjparker77 They should genuinely face a lawsuit for the way they handled the turrican anthologies, you should NOT get to just lie to your customers about your compilations being physical exclusive then silently drop them on the eshop once people actually start receiving their physical copies almost 2 years later.

Literally cannot be excited for this due to the fact ININ are an incompetent sloppy company who overprice their 30 yo rom compilations to exhorbent prices and lie to customers about physical game exclusivity. They can bite my a@$, they should be giving all these old arcade games to Ratalaika instead, since they're honest, put care into their compilations and don't give their rereleases the same price as a first party Nintendo game.

I'll stick with MAME.

@RetroGames Real grown ups also don’t make kickstarters for thousands of dollars if they won’t be able to make the product come to fruition. This is nothing on the backers being more intelligent with their money, it’s Tallarico being more intelligent with setting realistic goals and expectations.

@RetroGames He has lied about almost all of his accomplishments and stolen the credit from other people. I may not have done as much as him but that’s not a hard pill to swallow since at least I don’t throw my colleagues under the bus and take their creations in as my own every step of the way.

This will either be shockingly great or one of the worst films of the decade with no inbetween

He plays and loses a single game then begins claiming he won 5 world championships in a row

seems like another reminder that emulation will always be morally viable in this day and age.

If companies don’t wanna give me access to their super old products that aren’t available anymore, I feel perfectly justified to experience them through my own means! Something like switch emulators getting taken down I can understand, but no dmca takedown in the universe is gonna stop me from playing joy mech fight on my pc for free😂

Wow this looks cool, will probably check it out when it’s finish-

Allen o’ Neil carrying the mech on just his shoulders

I NEED TO PLAY THIS GAME NOW

this looks rly cool! im all for it long as they make it easily accessible unlike what that psychopath Fonz did with Craprium lol

I simply don’t understand why you’d pay 600 dollars for this outside of a collection, when mame is free and can run these games just as well. It’s the same thing that happened with Paprium, in no way is spending hundreds of dollars on a Video Game just to play it remotely justifiable.

“Even the in-game ai art is drawn by a human person!”

What

I’m not too sad about Castlevania being Dormant since bloodstained is made by the ppl who worked under Konami and both curse of the moon games are up there with the classicvanias’ peaks like rondo and bloodlines.

Ritual was rly good too even if it wasn’t as good as the ds trilogy or aria!

At this point p much every dormant Konami franchise aside from the Hudson soft stuff and Gradius has a successor made by the people who worked on the originals, or people who understood what made the series work so well.

@NinChocolate This is being developed by success, who’s cotton sequels have all been great from what I’ve seen, so I think we’re in good hands👍

They should add a “quebecgamers” mode that halves the framerate and makes the audio super bassy and distorted so it constantly sounds like it’s taking place in a war zone

“Nobody wants to see these old 3D games because they don’t look impressive”
Oh yeah like the games YALL make nowadays look like high art too and aren’t overly ugly gray rtx bloomfests that don’t even function properly 90% of the time💀😂

I’d also love to see wanpaku graffiti get a 16 bit remake since I always loved the ideas in that game

I hate that jaiyuki world box art.

I hate it so much.

@HammerGalladeBro Fun fact! It was one of the first games developed by arc system works!

Yes

THAT Arc System Works

@MSaturn My problem with working designs was never their silly dialogue but the unnecessary changes in difficulty they made to their games that significantly lowered their fun factor just so little Jimmy would have to give the ceo of blockbuster money for his 5th wallet lol. Praying this collection gets rid of those nonsense gameplay tweaks.

@wiiware Fight'n rage and streets of rage remake too!

also Rita's Rewind omg h ohgoghuuu ouggghb that game looks so good omfg

Idk I think the game looks cool. I’d rather a series try something new like this instead of being stuck in “so retro!” Purgatory forever lol

@Jackburton1985 not really. Super double dragon and double dragon 3 were 16-bit, plus Iv has a lot of ugly cheap looking backgrounds which don’t match the well drawn sprites of 1 and 2 on the nes. A franchise shouldn’t only be 8-bit and “retro” going forward.

You know, sega going out of business doesn’t sound too bad rn

was never huge on beyond oasis' ost tbh. Felt way too simplistic and bland but that's no shade to Yuzo or anyone who likes it👍.

My favorite work of his is easily super adventure island lol.

@JMX I’d assume They’re not on PC since MAME exists and people who use it wouldn’t have much reason to buy arcade archives titles.

As for Xbox I’d assume it’s because of modern Microsoft’s nonexistent popularity in Japan and the fact Xbox is beginning to flounder as a company likely isn’t helping with that.

This game is rly fun! Plays sorta like SEGA’s eswat with the themeing and levels only with wild guns styled background shooting segments thrown in. I wish the game had more boss fights but it’s still a lot of fun!

I already got a Saturn mini, it’s called a computer with retroar-

Lmfao like this is gonna go well for them

Funny it’s called Duckstation cause this mf’s actin like a real life Daffy Duck💀

the original x8 was always one of my least favorite mega man games due to the incessent overeliance on annoying unfun gimmicks, and this fangame seems to get rid of all of that in favor for a more tightly crafted platforming focused game so im all in! No zero also isnt the end of the world to me since i dont feel hed work well with this games shooting centric level design.

IMO M2 are actually BETTER at making unique games than just porting old ones. Fantasy zone II DX, Space Harrier 2 DX, the entire rebirth trilogy, haunted castle revisisted, super bomberman r, gg aleste 3, they are a golden team for remaking and revitalizing old ips and i wish they were given more work in that regard.

im starting to warm up to how this looks tbh. obviously the og pixel art looks better but this still doesn't look bad, it's certainly better than cheap 3d models or fugly pre rendered sprites lol

Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if the gwimbly episode from smiling friends/oneyplays in general had smth to do with this lol, helps the remaster looks amazing too, it’s honestly the new gold standard imo for how remastering 3d games should look!
