As the Pope of Video games I hereby decree that no 21st Century console shall ever be considered retro. Modern Game design and concept began with the PS2 solidfied on XBOX and materialized on the PS360s.
As the Pope I override what Gamestop says because, I'm the Pope.
I have this one friend that doesn't care but he also has no concept of what makes a game good or bad.
I knew this wouldn't be good when no physical was announced. Not even something from Limited Scam. At least Viper Phase 1 the best of these games is an Arcade Archives release.
I'll deal with the load screens and play these in MAME.
@cawley1 HOW DARE YOU DOUBT ME. Random internet person.
I do know in fact. 100% of the time it's the poster that destroys their own packages for clout. If customs opens and desultory something it never gets to it's destination.
If there's one thing I like about Nintendo is they don't have an achievements system. So when I finsih a game on Swtich I feel like i've finished a game. I'm not looking at a list and growling "HOW DO I DO THAT?"

Re: Achievement Unlocked - This Free Service Has Changed The Way I Play Retro Games In 2026
If there's one thing I like about Nintendo is they don't have an achievements system. So when I finsih a game on Swtich I feel like i've finished a game. I'm not looking at a list and growling "HOW DO I DO THAT?"
So Retro Achievements definitely aren't for me.
