I don't get why this company kept moving forward and then coming backwards again. Why not just make an all in one handheld that could play PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii U games in addition to retro? Everytime they make a handheld that gets close to handling GameCube and PS2 capability they kept falling back to using outdated chips, screen, and buttons taking the performance back to PSP and Dreamcast level of mediocrity.
Hmmm... It looks like their AI generated video also wants an NES backwards compatible Super NES so bad too. I know as a kid I really want one so bad as well. A Super NES that could play both Game Boy and NES games at the time would be fantastic but it's too bad Nintendo never made it happen for NES.
Videogame boxart back then tend to have a reputation of showing at least one or two screwnshots of a prototype build on their retail release case. I remember seeing something like this on some of the Sonic and Super Mario Bros. 3 screenshots too.
@amishpyrate Awesome I'll be picking that up this Summer once my GB flash cartridge from AliExpress arrive then I could play all my legit GB and GBC roms all in one console.
@Tasuki Tbh I don't even think JCVD was ever a perfect role for Guile, if anything he's more perfect for Johnny Cage. Guile's characteristic is more American, more military based, and with a sense of urgent and toughness. JCVD is the more martial arts type, less America and more Belgium, and more of a Hollywood figure than a military guerrila fighter.
@mjparker77 Reason why they didn't release the other terrible versions was due to the 50hz gameplay of those awful systems. As you know only the Super NES and Sega Genesis versions, two of the best legendary console of all time are the only ones that runs at 60hz at all.
Would be nice if they label the buttons to the proper NeoGeo layout (ABCD over ABXY) instead of using the Xbox layout here. It would only confuse their customers who are new to these NeoGeo games. They make it a NeoGeo Edition but they failed on the button layout. Customers who are new to these games will wonder where the C and D buttons are.
Yes finally something awesome for this game. This is the only Ys game I want for the modern console as it was never ported to anything outside the PlayStation 2 and Super Famicom.
@ecco6t9 The Atari VCS was never a scam console, Atari themselves had proved that they are not a scammer company unlike Amico. At this point Atari is back in business and they are giving us a Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection this summer so that's proof that they are not a scam company.
The Amico console is NEVER coming out, the company itself already blame tariffs for this next delay. Basically here is a history of all the excuses on why the Amico console kept getting delay:
2018: Tommy Tallarico says the console was delay so to work out manufacturing issue and to have more games at launch.
2019: Console was delay due to a change of their manufacturing moving from China to Myanmar.
2020: Console was delay again due to the worldwide pandemic.
2021: Amico got delay again due to the global chip shortages.
2022: Amico delay again due to the unrest of the military coop in Myanmar.
2023: Amico delay again due to difficulty of moving manufacturing during the pandemic.
2024: Amico delay again due to Atari buying the Intellivision brand.
2025: Amico delay again due to Trump's tariff situation.
Meh in 5-10 years the game would had already been dump online anyways so no worries. Continue playing your legit games, if they stopped working many years from now then just play the dump version on a flash cartridge or through an emulator. Even the Chinese will make repros of those for cheap by that time anyways. C'mon we had a lot of options in 5-10 years from now, stop worrying about doom and gloom. Just live, play, and enjoy what you have.
It's about time, hopefully they add a pixel perfect mode to the Steam edition cause the Switch version never had one, only stretch, a few weird aspect ratio views, and 4:3 options.
I don't get why he can't just make a new account and then transfer all his videos to that new account. I mean if you're popular on YouTube, just had all your subscribers know where your new channel is, they'll come.
The idea of a hybrid console, one that would allow certain games to be play on the road and on the TV had been done by both Sega and Nintendo back then. While Sega took the handheld route and allow Sega Genesis home console games to be play on the road with worst battery life, Nintendo did the opposite and allow handheld games that could only be play while on the road the privilege of playing on the TV via the Super Game Boy and Super Game Boy 2. So while Sega took the handheld and tabletop route with their home games, Nintendo took the dock route with their handheld games. Both are essentially the idea behind the Nintendo Switch of today cause all the games on Switch are once either home console games or handheld games that now could be enjoy through both privilege.
All arcade machines are set to freeplay when they should had follow the old model of one coin per play
Too many old games, these are games that customers could just easily download online to play on MAME. Get some Tekken 8, Street Fighter 6, Super Mario Kart Arcade GP3, etc., to get customers excited.
No other form of entertainment (crane, pinball, gatcha, poker, wrestling, dancing, singing, pool, etc.) or offerings (pizza, bar, restaurant, barber, etc.) other than playing the arcades.
At the time this console launch, I was still gaming on the Sega Genesis and was wondering wtf did they had to go to 32-Bit so soon. By the time I had enough money to buy the Sega Saturn, the Sega Dreamcast is already out and by the time I decided to go to the store to buy one, I saw the PlayStation 2 and bought that instead.
I believe if you buy it on Steam, it'll give you the Sega Genesis rom which you could use for playing via Mega EverDrive on an actual Sega Genesis Nomad handheld instead of the Steam Deck.
WayForward needs to just sell us the gba rom of the game like how Bitmap Bureau sell us the Genesis rom of XenoCrisis. I would happily buy it for the download price like I did XenoCrisis.
@kirby2000 Perhaps but the Super NES version of Cannon Fodder does support the Super NES mouse that came with Mario Paint. I never play the Mega Drive version so I'm not sure if that support the Sega mouse or not.
I don't believe any of them, these are the same companies that only puts their games on game key cards for Switch 2. How is that preservation? Their actions speak louder than their words.
Meh it's likely they'll eventually follow Nintendo's example and move production to Vietnam (where Trump's tariff didn't cause a huge irony), my favorite country for vacation and getting good stuffs.
All of these games (Ys 1-5) had remakes on PC, PSP, and PS2, why not just give us a collection of those instead? Heck we already got remakes of Ys 3 & 4 on Switch, all we really need are the ports of the Ys 1 & Ys 2 remakes and then the Ys 5 remake from the PS2 and all that's left is the porting of Ys 6 and Ys Seven and that would complete the series on Switch until Ys XI for Switch 2. C'mon Falcom finish em.
Kinda lose interest when it got to the part where it says some stuffs from the original were removed. Shouldn't had done that, also adding Marvel characters from outside the Spider-Man universe is kinda pointless here. Adding Green Goblin, Ock Doc, Sandman, the Punisher, Iron Man, Hawkeye, Captain America I could understand but c'mon Wolverine, Daredevil, Wildcats, you're just taking the spotlight away from oh Spidey and Venom here. I mean c'mon they are going after Carnage, not Thanos or Onslaught.
Dude those two games aren't even remotely similar or play the same. You're comparing a puzzler where all you do is clear lines (not blocks) to a puzzler where you had to match colors to another color enemy to eliminate it. With that mindset any color matching puzzler could be a Tetris ripoff. You could play Tetris even if it doesn't had colors whereas a Dr. Mario game you had to distinguish the colors or know what different color the pills are in able to eliminate color enemy on screen and get good at it. Not sure what Henk Rogers problem is but I don't see any similarities between Tetris and Dr. Mario. With Tetris I had to think fast and line up quick, with Dr. Mario I had to start connecting the colors and make the switch or else I risk building more stacks. The only guilty pleasure Nintendo did with the Tetris license was using its name to promote a totally different game in Panel de Pon (Puzzle League a.k.a. Tetris Attack) but other than that I don't think Nintendo was ripping off Tetris. Competing against Tetris would be the more correct answer just like Columns, Puyo Puyo, Hatris, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, Panel de Pon, Puzzle Kombat, Pac-Attack, Kirby Super Star Stacker, Yoshi's Cookie, Yoshi's Egg, etc.
Not sure why they couldn't just keep the name Lost in Blue and why they even change it in the first place? The name change just made it sound like they had two similar franchise. I doubt anyone remembers Survival Kids anymore unless they do some long homework.
Ridge Racer is a racing game series known to exist only at launch and nothing else afterwards. It was an N64 launch title, a GameCube launch title, a DS launch title, a 3DS launch title, and now it's a Switch 2 launch title.
It doesn't matter which console it's on, the game is still a 16-Bit game with Sega Genesis graphics. Kinda wish they did what Konami did back then and make a unique version for each platform. In this case basically if you had play one version, you technically play them all.
@XiaoShao Yeah I wouldn't buy anything retro from LRG, those NES versions of Rugrats could fry your NES for good. I betcha that Shantae Advance release may also damage your GBA system too. My only hope is if someone buys those and just dump the rom online so we could play those on flash cartridge that doesn't fry our system. If only WayForward would sell the roms themselves, I would gladly pay to download a rom of this and Shantae Advance just so I could get a copy for my GBA flash cartridge. I did it for XenoCrisis so I don't had any issue if WayForward does it too.
While I love the old school Dragon Warrior looks and gameplay back in the late 80s and early 90s, I only enjoy those for their times and because of Akira Toriyama's work. Nowadays I don't think I would ever want to return to that style of RPG and mechanics anymore so I may had to passed on this game. If this game is ever remade in the style of the DS or Switch DQ games then maybe I could check it out but without any inspiring art styles like Akira Toriyama's work I may not stick around for it that much.
I had faith in Analogue even if they do delay their product. This is a company that had good, no, great track record of delivering high quality premium product so a delay of this kind is not that big of a deal to me. Take all the time you need Analogue, I rather prefer a quality product over a scummy hardware like the Amico and SuperSega.
Would be awesome to play some TATE arcade titles as well as DS, 3DS, Wii U, and N-Gage games. Can you imagine playing games like Xenoblade Chronicles X on the go the way it was meant to be, I don't think anyone has ever done that yet.
Both are similar but not the same, Princesss Mononoke is not an actual princess but just a title whereas Princess Zelda is an actual princess and title.
The emulator may be gone from the Google Play Store but the .apk file is still available online and could be install and play on any Android device including the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro and the Ouya which I own.
Emulator is good for testing preservation of games while FPGA is good for running preservation of a game so both could still co-exist with one another. One is just software emulation and the other is hardware emulation, there's nothing wrong with preferring one over the other.
Long story short they're not using all of Working Design's stuffs, most things including the voiceworks will be rework probably just like how they did for Lunar Silver Star Harmony and Lunar Silver Star Story Touch.
