@RossoftheRobots That's what I was wondering about actually. If you have to save with crystals that can only be used once, like it was the case on Saturn (and PlayStation I guess), I won't get it. Amusingly, most people I know who love Tomb Raider played it on PC back in the days, and on PC you could save any time.
I got stuck in the big room with the four trials and iirc you only had two crystals, so it was impossible to save between each trial, and you could easily die in the platform sequences between each trial. It was a nightmare to me.

Maybe it was intentional to make the cave look even more colossal in comparison! ^^

Edit: More seriously, I think it looks cute, and I actually wish more game boxes were that small.

Why did you have to spend that much money on Uber??? The subway was way more convenient during the Olympics (albeit a little more expensive than usual).

@JackGYarwood It's not available in France, either on Switch or on PlayStation (at least the web version of the store regarding the latter).

Is there any explanation about why some ACA releases (like last week's) skip the West?

It's not available apparently...

There's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVJtyDDiNrI

The trailer is available on YT as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEt3cL7vdXM

The video is available on YouTube as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fP5HTLeCrU

For the love of God, why oh why do homebrew developers always share their videos on X only?... And this one has a YT account, so no excuse.

And MGM was bought by Amazon. ^^'

While the Switch is a great system, the 3DS is still the best video game system ever. Mic drop.

It's weird... The article makes it sound like the game was made to attract people who prefer "Classicvanias"... While the game is a Metroidvania with an 8-bit look, that's all. I'm pretty sure people would prefer the opposite, a Classicvania with a more modern look (like Rondo of Blood for instance).

They could have used better looking USB keys, but most people don't have a CD drive in their PC anymore, unfortunately, so it makes sense.

So the only female character would have been Kelly Kelly? That would have been unexpected.

"you lose the 3D effect (obviously)" isn't the emulator compatible with 3D displays (3D TVs, VR...)?

@1040STF Thank you. I hate when Europe is called UK, which happens a lot at Nintendo Life and sister sites. It would be about time to realize that an English web site isn't just read by native speakers.

Like Axel Stone's figure, the box looks nice but the figure looks like crap. And no, the sprite looks way better than that.

@shouryuuken It's mine as well, and I call it "stalk and gun", a phrase that was coined by Kurt Kalata regarding Crack Down (the true sequel to Shinobi for Yutaka Sugano). I recommend Huntdown if you haven't played it yet.

@Sketcz Thank you, I remembered your article but wasn't sure, so I wanted to avoid a blunder. I'll feel better when writing about it on my website, then (I'm Guillaume from MO5.COM).

I can neither deny or confirm.

@Poodlestargenerica It's not. I won't say it clearly because the game's creator didn't want to tell it explicitly in John Szczepaniak's interview, but it's easy to guess and the answer is in the following volume. It's a VERY BIG movie from 1989.

Fun fact: It was supposed to be based on a famous franchise Konami didn't manage to get at the time (but got later).

More like a 2DS, then. Pass.

This is great news but I'm confused by the legality of it, especially considering it's a Japanese movie... When I saw the news, I assumed it was finally re-released on DVD/BR, not on YouTube.

@RupeeClock Well, the 3DS had the ideal resolution for most retro systems to begin with, but I agree.

They probably did that to mess up Mobygames and make the life of video game historians miserable.

Well, I can clearly live without it tbh. ^^'

"Cybernoid II: The Revenge doesn't really improve on the first" Maybe but it features one of the best music themes ever composed for a video game.

I think the poll should have offered two "no" options, whether people think content should be censored instead or not changed at all, even though I assume they meant the second option. I personally voted "yes" because I feel it's important to put things into context, as it is already done with books for instance.

Yeah, it wasn't released here, like Metro-Cross :

I really wish developers would stop posting videos on Twitter instead of YouTube... -_-

They're not just "NES-style", they're basically emulated versions of NES homebrew games.

And of course it always features those horrible analog sticks from the Switch.

@PinballBuzzbro I actually wanted to create an Altered Beast spin-off that would keep the same gameplay but turn it into a Metroidvania using the different transformations (and adding new ones). Unfortunately, I can't do the graphics... But most of all I don't have time anymore to create games.

January 20th is actually this week, but technically it's also this month, yes.

@PinballBuzzbro There's actually a sequel on PlayStation 2 but I never played it and it has a bad reputation.

Mean people would say we never got a good Altered Beast 1 either, but I actually love that game.

@Uncharted2007 Indeed, I came here to mention its absence.

Yeah, I'm really surprised Konami is letting it fly...

Yeah, it's not even SEGA's best racing game, come on!

I was quicker than you for a change!

Laurent Comby is actually from Switzerland.

@JackGYarwood Yes, they work together, but in the rare cases the info comes from Indie Retro News, Saberman mentions the link in the description as source. I check Indie Retro News often to be fair, but mostly because Saberman's notifications don't always work well for some reason. But Indie Retro News is a terrible website and I find sad you would use it that often as a source.

"as spotted by IndieRetroNews" No, as usual, Saberman was the one who spotted it on CSDb.

Xanadu wasn't released in Europe, though, even if previous games like Thexder are available.

Hummingz code doesn't seem to work on the EXP, and I already have the 8 hidden games anyway so it must be another VS exclusive.

@michaelf The Evercade has no analog stick, so it's probably tank controls (with shoulder buttons to strafe maybe). But personally they only bother me in games with fixed cameras like Resident Evil.

"came to our attention thanks to the fine folks over at IndieRetroNews" They probably got the info from MSX.org without mentioning them, though. -_-

@Moroboshi876 The VISCO Collection was released this week!
