@stankybeans I mean, I can't say I'm surprised. They're just crybullies, happy to insult anyone and everyone and then play victim when their punches get returned, usually with more ammo. Almost makes me feel sorry for them at this point - it can't be a very gratifying existence.

You're also right that the Amico was simply trying to serve a market that didn't need it. Local multiplayer is still alive and well, I'm a fighting game player so I know that. It's more of a niche than it used to be 20 years ago, sure, but it's still there. I was literally playing Streets of Rage 4, Gran Turismo 7 and Tekken 8 at a friend's house locally two days ago - you're not "bringing people back together" with an overhyped, underspeced piece of you-know-what.

@slider1983 I can only know you to the pathetic degree you've shown me.

@slider1983 "I always admit when I'm wrong."

No, you don't.

@slider1983 "That I keep being proven correct about their behaviour? Interested to know. This should be interesting..."

Can't have a conversation with someone who knows they're wrong and has been proven wrong many times over and says "Actually I've been proven right". No point. Would get a better understanding out of a brick wall.

@slider1983 Why is it you always cry "harassment" and "bullying" when YOUR behaviour gets called out? It seems like "wahh you're biased" is the only thing you have anymore. I've seen conversations Kevtris has had with Tommy Tallarico before and the man could not have been more cordial or patient. You just can't refute anything he said, so you go "uhhhhh bias" as a way to not have to engage with any of it. It's pathetic behaviour.

@slider1983 It is objectively more unbiased than any of the lies the few Amico holdouts keep trying to peddle which somehow you are /still/ believing after six years.

@slider1983 Well, the one person who has one without a vested interest in bragging about it says it boots in 2 minutes.

The guy claiming it's 55 seconds, which still sucks, could just make a video showing that, but the last time they did they cut the footage on the boot. Probably to hide that it takes goddamn forever.

@SlangWon "So you hate AI but love comments?"

A non sequitur (Latin for "it does not follow") is a statement or conclusion that has no logical or clear connection to what was previously said.

@gmar "Graaaaah only release games that cater to me aaaaaaargh"

John Alvarado has claimed this unit is three revisions old, and the newest one to date boots in a staggering 55 seconds.

The list of people who believe this includes:

-

Hell yeah, companies, boldly advertise less effort.

Well... shoot for the moon, at least you'll maybe hit the stars?

@slider1983 *response. Singular.

It's not like the 32X was a bad idea in theory. Being able to offer something for both the budget and premium markets is smart.

@Bot_Bot_69 or maybe, also like that other Very Peaceful Guy, he'll get someone who actually won one to just hand it over

Class to keep it private all this time until his family were finally ready to make it public. Hope they've manged to process the grief. Two years seems like a long time but the loss of someone that close remains with you forever.

Alternatively, since this is just most certainly not legal, just selling emulators in a box without permission from Sega, you could just... download the emulators. On your own PC. For free.

@slider1983 Society got more woke, yeah. Good. It hasn't stopped everyone from seeing sexy women in video games.

@slider1983 yeah it's fact you just can't have sexy anymore. Please ignore all evidence to the contrary. Don't look over there. Or there. Or there.

Capcom must've used a lot of Canadian talent in the late 90s. I remember hearing that the rapper who performed on the main theme and character select theme of Third Strike was also Canadian.

@Exerion76 Bro ignored literally everything said to trot out drivel about how woke everything is now and how SEXY WOMEN ARE BANNED AND CANCEL CULTURE WOULD RUIN YOUR LIFE IF YOU HAD THEM ANYWHERE etc

@knightofthewind89 Yup, Max is a rare content creator of his size that just seems like a cool dude. He recently said if anyone wants to impliment rollback netcode for Marvel vs Capcom 3, he'll give them ten thousand dollars.

@Thad "yeah but, uh, woke bad. or something. idk send me money on patreon i just made a video on why Pragmata being awesome has owned the libs"

I just can't imagine being so goddamn inept you can't type, by human hand, a paragraph describing Fantasy Zone and OutRun. I could probably do it in a handful of minutes! They're kind of iconic???

Reminds me of the Japan release of Mortal Kombat 2 on SNES having green blood and also going to black-and-white during the Fatalites.

@Kev711 If "I noticed this sound effect is panned slightly incorrectly towards the left sound channel" is enough to make a game not enjoyable to you then honestly I wouldn't even be certain you were someone who enjoyed playing video games. 100% accuracy, a theoretical perfect, is an insane thing to demand. Get the real console.

"Japanese soldier who kept fighting 29 years after World War 2"

I tried to make my comment just "NO" but that's too short. But I do think that sums this up.

Keep making stuff "no one asked for" and then when some idiot whines "no one asked for this!" make something even somehow less people asked for. It pleases my soul to see creators doing whatever the hell they want and having fun and releasing quirky weird stuff.

Surely after the 73rd promise to DO BETTER they'll come through this time, right?

I remember watching LordBBH play this course. It's torture. But hilariously so.

I'm genuinely heartbroken. WWF Superstars and WrestleFest are two of the greatest wrestling games of all time behind the usual picks of the AKI N64 games and Fire Pro World. FOREVER DOUBLE DRAGON! FOREVER KUNIO-KUN!

The impact on gaming post 9/11 is super interesting. It was only recently I found out that in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, one of my top 5 games ever, in the Airport stage, the pickpockets you have to run into were originally terrorists. A lot of games had to change like that.

4/10 is three points too many. Rise of Lyric is probably, all things considered, the worst major Sonic title ever. At least Sonic '06 had a rocking soundtrack and introduced an interesting new character. Rise of Lyric doesn't really have ANYTHING redeeming about it.

Reminder that a lot of people on the internet think everything you do is a product for them. You can't just do something cool out of passion anymore because they'll come storming in like "UHM BUT THIS ISN'T FOR ME!" Like... okay. You're not important. Create your own stuff.

I still love the Capcom game. Who knew if the Predators could speak English, they'd be such sarcastic wiseasses? It's not usually character interaction and dialogue that pushes a beat 'em up into greatness for me, but goddamn it I love those two Predators in the Capcom game.

I feel like LRG "commit to doing better" or whatever every 6 months and then nothing actually changes.

The series is so perfect for the DS that it's easy to forget it was a GBA series at first.

@GodlessPreservation Slow day at the CIA mail office?

@N-MCMXCIX Oh, well, I guess that's that. America can't have done Bad Thing because America says “We Do Not Do Bad Thing“. Cancel the reporting and journalism. They've investigated themselves and found themselves clear of all wrong-doing. Close up shop.

Does anyone find the current administration's genuine and open glee at being as cruel as possible just a little disturbing? They've found out they don't even need to hide it anymore because millions will clap like seals for it.

By the way, people telling TE what they can and can't report - you decide the article headlines you read. We get the underlying message, that your feelings are more important than facts, but people are dying and your reaction to the inconvenience of even having to know this is "ugh! I ignored all the retro gaming coverage on the site and explicitly clicked on this article and now I'm SAD!" Have a word.

@no_donatello Yeah, this is a pure Sega fanservice game. If there's a line that's say, a Virtua Fighter reference, AI is not going to know that. It will not make the reference understandable for English-reading players. It will just half-bake raw literal translation that might not even be /literally/ correct, let alone pick up on wordplay or references.

@MontyMole "As for Nintendolife, the clue is in the name. You’re not going to get too much common sense there if it doesn’t fit the Nintendo PR template!"

To that end, anyone willing to bet a sizeable chunk of the people going "hang on, this isn't something corporations should be able to do" change their tune now that Nintendo has been included in said corporations? Find that happens a lot whenever Gamers[TM] pretend to take stances against bad things only for their favourite company to be no different

This is akin to, say, a Phoenix Wright game being translated by AI. It's going to catch, like, 10% of what the game is actually trying to convey.

There's also something really cringeworthy about bragging about finally translating a game when all you did was use AI. What exactly is new and celebration-worthy? If anyone wanted an AI translation, we could've just done it years ago.

If there's anyone I trust to give an honest and knowledgable take about all things New Zealand Story it's TepidSnake/Gaming Hell, so this is a shame. It didn't look too good but I wanted to reserve judgment until release. They even messed up both the true ending AND the Heaven ending.

Sounds about par for the course for US customs.

@GodlessPreservation How does it feel to be this way? To have to feel the need to make an entire account dedicated to slurping as many boots as possible?

The amount of people defending this in the comments is disgusting. You can't just nick somebody else's project with a half-baked code-a-like and pretend it's the original bloody thing.

Well, I suppose you can if you're morally and creatively bankrupt, which the retro scene apparantly is happy to be.

Simple fact is this isn't a lost game as it's claiming to be, it's someone hacking together a cheap imitation and presenting it as if it's not. And if your response is "who cares", why the hell are you even commenting? If you don't care, nobody needs your input.

@Vyse_the_Legend I mean, Gran Turismo sold about eleven times what Omega Boost did... what company would look at the two and decide to prioritize an Omega Boost sequel?

@Sketcz The English dictionary also has the word "exception" in it. Did you miss that one?

Weird how there are people like you out there who still don't know unironically throwing "IQ" around is a red flag for someone who thinks they're way smarter than they really are. It's 2026, we know what you are when you say this and "smart" isn't in the collection of words
