So the dude went mad and became Chris Benoit? Good riddance, only a coward would do that to his own flesh and blood. If you want to die just kill yourself so your wife and son can move on, no need to take them with you.
Wow that is cool, now imagine if they kept the Dragon Ball concept for Alex Kidd and go right into DBZ with his later games, maybe we might even see Alex Kidd go Super Saiyan. Oh wait... Poor Alex Kidd, you almost made it.
Meh another garbage system from another Chinese clone on a chip making company. I bet they still hadn't fix compatibility with Castlevania 3 either. The original SR3 got almost everything right except for compatibility. This one seem like it didn't fix any of the compatibility issues and just upscale the composite picture to 720p. If you want to play true solid HD for your NES, SNES, and Genesis with better compatibility just get the AVS, Analog Super Nt, and/or the Fei Hao HD Genesis clone. Avoid this cheap knockoff.
The NeoGeo ports on Switch are still better, you get them cheap and legit with more features plus the portability aspect for under $9 each. Unless you're a die hard collector, still owned a NeoGeo AES or MVS machine and got more money to waste, these flash cartridge are good alternatives.
I stopped buying these when they began taking out games I like such as the Ecco and Streets of Rage games. Also the HD Genesis Flashback they recently released was just pure garbage, the audio sounds okay but the compatibility was terrible, controller ports hardly ever work, the menu constantly freezes, there are scrolling and framerate issues on all games, and games such as Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Super Street Fighter II doesn't work on it.
They're nice retro clones but the speed of some of the games turn me off and the aspect ratio is a bit iffy. Sprite looks more fat than when compare to how they were presented in the original Game Boy Color aspect ratio. It's cheap though and got a nice backlit display so it makes for a good alternative, for me I rather stick with my backlit fully modded GBA.
@Yas I never own an Atari 2600 but I did get a chance to play one at a relatives house with games like Centipede, Frogs and Flies, Galaxian, and Pitfall. For some reason most people remember the bad games of the 2600 but not the good ones. I also got the chance to play the Atari Jaguar at one time and enjoy three of the four games (Cybermorph, AVP, Doom, and Tempest 2000) I tried on it. You never know, this new Atari system might be a game changer for Atari if they know how to market it successfully.
To limit risk taking, this product will initially be launched within the framework of a crowdfunding campaign.
Wait they are just now planning to kickstart this? I previously thought that this console was years in the making meaning they already had the fund to produce it already. Well I guess it'll end up being an Ouya situation all over again. We probably won't see this in stores until late 2019 or early 2020 then which by that time the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Two will probably be on their way. I guess the real factor that will decide whether I am excited for this is if the thing support physical copy of games or not as I'm not too fond of an all digital console.
Good update but then we won't be able to see the juggling monkey on the load screen anymore, I like that juggling monkey over the boring Polymega logo.
Looks like a nice attempt at cloning and playing old century games but still need a lot to prove for me to get excited. Also would be nice if they would at least put more controller ports on the NES, Super NES, Sega Genesis, PlayStation, and Sega Saturn modules so we don't have to rely on using multi-taps anymore.
@sevex My guess is that they'll eventually add Dreamcast and Xbox support to it at some point too but if you're a Nintendo player seeing the letters mess up does become a bothersome.
One of my bud bought one of these after failing to find an NES Classic Edition at store shelves and now he regret ever buying it as 70% of the games on there were disgustingly terrible. Now he went to lock himself in his room crying cause he just lose $60 to a product he never meant to buy. The poor guy, damn you Nintendo you ruin him.
Another failed hardware just like the PSP Go, PlayStation Move, PlayStation TV, Apple Pippin, Ouya, Tiger Game.com, OnLive microconsole, Kinect, Gizmondo, N-Gage, Tapwave Zodiac, Wii Vitality Sensor, and Analog Nt.
Wow, imagine if id Software patented 1st person shooter and Squaresoft patented the turn-base battle, all other games would be down the gutter including GoldenEye 007, Perfect Dark, Medal of Honor, Breath of Fire, Lufia, Lunar series and EarthBound.
In able for this thing to be a success in this time and age, it must launch at $199 and had at least 10 exclusive good games at launch. It must had more than just indies and arcade titles and it must had at least 20 of these companies on board in supporting it:
Way too bulky for my taste and without an NES cartridge slot, it's definitely a no for me. Also it cost over $300 to get it, I assume those emulator makers will be very pissed about this one too.
Either it's Sega (maker of the Mark III) or NEC (maker of the PC Engine), two competitors against Nintendo (maker of the Famicom) in Japan. It couldn't be Microsoft, Microsoft never made the MSX, instead they had other companies made it for them.
They could have use the Sega Genesis or Super NES console design and cartridge style, that will sell it for me but the Jaguar. Not a fan of that console, both its design and cartridge.
And Daikatana, Sonic 2006, Street Combat, Ballz, Rise of the Robots, Cheetahmen II, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the Zelda CD-i games, Hotel Mario, Sword of Sodan, Mortal Kombat: Special Force, Aliens: Colonial Marine, SimCity (EA Edition), Sonic Genesis (GBA), all them Game.com games (except Lights Out), all them Virtual Boy games (except Wario Land), War Gods, Dark Rift, Awesome Possum, Sewer Shark, Karate Champ, Action 52, etc.
One of the best multiplayer racing game for the N64 next to WipEout 64, F-Zero X, Mario Kart 64, Top Gear Overdrive, Hydro Thunder, 1080 Snowboarding, Wace Race 64, Beetle Adventure Racing, and Snowboard Kids 1 & 2.
There is the Samurai Shodown Anthology on PSP which got Samurai Shodown III along with five others SS games), the rest of those other SNK games could easily be play on PSP via emulator which runs better than what was on Neo Geo X.
Though the games were good, the emulation on this thing is horrible especially when you play them through HDMI. Better to just get the many Neo Geo Collection for PS2, Wii and PSP.
This game is an instant classic. To be able to crammed in all the characters (over 35 by far) in the game plus three more as well as all the moves, -ism style, many modes of play, frames of animations, stages, unlockables, and sounds makes this the definite portable fighters. It's even better than the crap that was Mortal Kombat Advance. The only two other fighting games on the GBA that came close to rivaling it was Mortal Kombat: Tournament Edition and The King of Fighters EX2: Howling Blood however in terms of good control, quality gameplay, and sheer size roster, SFA3 on GBA beats all. I got this game and had spent over 90 hours into the game simply to master all the fighters in the game.
Eventually this game was ported to the PSP with one more characters and more modes of play. Both are awesome titles imo but the GBA one would awesome be a classic no matter how pissed Capcom was at Crawfish for delaying it.
