The thing that holds me back is that price. I'm not ready to pay $85 Canadian for a third party controller that isn't up to par with the original.

@Damo Sure, but saying it's a con because it isn't another product? When the collection was announced and then released we knew what games it featured.

Why give it a negative point because of something it isn't?

Cons: "Doesn't offer much over Rare Replay"

I will forever comment when I see Cons like this one. Did they advertise that it offered more? Is this a review of a single product or a comparison against another?

No, it doesn't offer more over Rare Replay, but that wasn't the release's intent. Reviews, in my eyes, should always cover the product as it is, not what it isn't.

More importantly, what if Sega didn't lose?

To be honest, these are the types of articles I skip. They're generally fluff with no substance. Like reading an issue of 'What If?' or the points on 'Whose Line Is It Anyways?'.

The article should really had been advertised as an interview with Jerry Momoda.

I rented Slam City for the PC from Microplay when I was little. Not good.

ABC XYZ with either the Xbox dpad/sticks layout or Wii U dpad/sticks layout please.

I'm shocked WWF No Mercy hasn't been decompiled yet. It'll be a big day for the hacking/mod community.

@AshKirin19 "ChatGPT cooked up UI" and "created using AI" are hardly definitions, just vague alluding. But that's fine.

@The_Nintendo_Pedant I did, and shared the definition for others.

What the fook is "vibe-coded"? Can people not talk normally? If you're going to use "slop" words in an article at least define them.

vibe-coded = A.I. generated code.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibe_coding - "Vibe coding describes a chatbot-based approach to creating software where the developer describes a project or task to a large language model (LLM), which generates code based on the prompt."

For the low price of $107 Canadian, after shipping. No F'N thank you.

@DestructoDisk I think you're reading way too much into what I'm saying. It is pretty cut and dry.

This is how it is now, hopefully it changes in the future. Speak with your wallets as well as your voice. Don't support what you don't agree with.

I'm always happy to see new controllers, with hopefully good sticks, come out. Will be grabbing one of these depending on the shipping cost to Canada.

I only have the Capcom Handheld with the Worms cart in it. I would love to grab other carts but nothing has really jumped out at me yet.

@Cyber_Akuma and I agree with you. Don't buy it and voice your concerns. The reality of what TOSAs and laws are right now is just what it is. Might change in the future, which I hope it does.

But I'm just looking at reality right now and pointing it out.

@Lanmanna Well, according their the TOSA they're aren't.

If you don't like it, don't buy their products. All these people buying stuff they do not need and then whine about not "owning" it. They need to grow up.

@Bod2019 Most of these perseveration organizations don't even make the preserved items accessible.

"Oh, you want to see/read/hear/play the preserved items? Sure! Come to 'CITYNAME' and pay 'CURRENCY' to access them. Thanks!"

The term preservation, in gaming, has been stretched so thin.

I would just like to see items released preserved. Seems most are demanding all internal documentation, incomplete/cancelled projects, and whatever else was worked on be preserved for us to access.

Why? It's not ours. Just like these Sega items.

Adding this to the list of 'Chaolikes' with Poglings and My Slim Garden.

If anyone knows more share away!

Not even a direct feed of the video output...

@bring_on_branstons You should edit your comment to read JPN my dude.

@Bod2019 I don't want to give them credit, but you can see them as a blur in the close up.

@Damo Sorry, I should have said there is no link to the authors work in general. Many articles have little to no external links.

You know, it would be nice if there were external links for stuff like this. Every URL in the article is an internal link within Time Extension, other than the Twitter post. Not even a link to https://archive.org/details/@infidelity.

Luckey has already shown more of the M64 than Analogue has of the Analogue 3D.

@Guru_Larry Jeff was in WWF Attitude. https://www.thesmackdownhotel.com/roster/attitude/jeff-jarrett

I would love to see the old War Zone-Anarchy Rulz engine updated and used for a non-licensed wrestling game. Add creative tools to it and let the customers have fun.

Still waiting for them to show it to us in action...

The percentage of people backing up their own games for these devices is 0.000000000000000001%. Even then that's probably too high.

Did they show anything within the three years? When was their last public project update?

I hope M.C. Kids runs on it.

You know what? ‘It belongs in a museum.’ And thankfully, it is.

I have a couple of retro handheld emulation devices. What I can say about them is that 90% of people who buy them will tinker with the device and get it setup to their liking and then use it twice maybe a third time and then into the drawer it goes.

Be warned potential buyers.

Doesn't have ABCXYZ, I'm out. 7 center buttons for syncing, home, start... etc.

A company isn't going to preserve anything that can be easily accessible by the public for free. They want your money at the end of the day. They are all about ROI. Preservation has little to no ROI when it comes to fast revenue.

@nilcam these devices most likely have an actual cost under $20USD.

The Canadian dollar may be doing really bad and I can't justify buying the Tink 4K but at least I don't have to live in that country. You guys are fooked. Looking over your shoulder to make sure you're not going to get kidnapped by your own government. Good luck down there.

The cost of these are pretty high. Just shy of $84CND before shipping and duty. It's cheaper to get a used console with a bunch of controllers you can clean and refurbish.

Neat. Don't need it though.

@N64-ROX Still, who does throw a shoe, honestly?!

@N64-ROX The actor is in prison for gang rape and murder. I don't think I'd want his shoes...

Apparently if you make political contributions (bribes) you can get on a tariff exemption list. The US made it bed, ***** in it and others'.

@Bizzy They probably don't want to send reading off their site. Which is weird because there's outbound Twitter and BBU links but as you pointed out no RetroTink links.

@MagicMike11111 Sorry there, I'm talking about accessibility not entitlement to their property. This is internal preservation, which is still good. It's not going into a museum unfortunately.

Inaccessible preservation is not preservation.

@retrogamer1 Never said it was derogatory, it sounds lazy and uneducated if anything. Same with using terms like "creator" or "content".

Let's replace the term YouTuber once and for all.

Example: "..a new video interview with the YouTuber Elliot Coll.."
Replace with: "..a new video interview with Elliot Coll, host of The Retro Future.."

With that said Elliot is great, and this video fun to watch.

This is a case, once again, of people being upset that that games NOT ADVERTISED for the collection were not included. Grow up.

I would honestly love to see a Fire Pro Wrestling or Gauntlet cart. A man can dream.

I wonder if it works. Looks like it's missing the play button.

"Shipping isn’t available for Ontario. Select a different address to continue"

Well ***** me in the Canadian ass. Thanks Atari.

Someone let me know when they actually show this in action.

I'm all about options. The Analogue 3D, as far as I'm concerned, is still just a 3D mock up. It's not real until it's in someone's hands or there's a full video breakdown of a unit.

The only thing I'm looking forward to is having access to titles that I wouldn't have access to otherwise. Long live preservation and accessibility!
