Hear that Sega, now give HAMSTER all your console and arcade game rights so that you get money for doing nothing and so that we get something. Scud Race, Virtua Fighter 2, OutRunner, The Last Bronx, Fighting Vipers, Sega Rally, Daytona USA, ASTAL, NiGHTS Into Dreams, Dragon Force, Burning Rangers, SEGA Sonic the Hedgehog Arcade, Sonic R, Knuckles Chaotix, Kolibri, Tempo, Legend of Oasis, Baku Baku Animals, Virtual On, Golden Axe Warrior, Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder, Golden Axe: The Duel, Crusader of Centy, Skies of Arcadia, Shining Force III, Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Dark Side, Power Drift, Clockwork Knight, Bug!, etc., all should not be stuck in the 90s and early 2000s.

I'm surprise they didn't just take any one of IntiCreate's Mega Man clone and just turn those into Mighty No. 9 for 3DS and PS Vita just like how Nintendo turn Doki Doki Panic and Panel de Pon into Super Mario Bros. 2 and Tetris Attack respectively. Would had been something good rather than nothing, it'll be lazy but would still be good. Even if this is a dead IP, at least Beck lives on with more successful games in Mighty Gunvolt and Mighty Gunvolt Burst.

Why not port it to the Sega Genesis first and then NeoGeo, Super NES, Turbo Grafx-16, and then GBA after?

Tbh the game would had failed had it come out on Dreamcast back then. GTA2 was on Dreamcast and it didn't do so well.

Looks fantastic, can't wait to get this on Switch.

Now he's using Sega's name to write a phony email to himself why he should continue? This guy just doesn't know when to give up does he? Sega already proved to us that even they themselves don't know how to run their company, why would they allow this Alejandro guy to continue with this fake console?

This is why they had a gold mine of classic IPs and hardly do anything with those. Took forever for us to get Virtua Fighter again. I doubt the series will return to its former glory though, this VF6 that they are planning to make feels like it'll just be a one time thing. This guy sounds like he could be the next Yuji Naka though if he manage to keep an attitude like this going forward. There's nothing wrong about bringing back some retro classics while also catering to the modern gamers.

@Crabbitsteve Yes it's just a joke but you see joke will get people offended and those people had the right to be offended, not everyone online had the same mentality as that thing that made the joke. That's the point and yes they should be. Also that nonsense you spoke of doesn't applie to every physical game out there.

Meh, if I want a physical KOFXIII: Global Match, the only game here that's actually on Switch. I'll just buy from Play-Asia for cheaper than to have to wait for these limited nonsense versions.

This game alongside Doom, Street Fighter Alpha, Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare, and the Resident Evil port were all impressive GBC versions of those games. They are literally just shrunken version of their original game.

@RZ-Atom Though Dreamcast does had more fighting games, its controller was terrible to play fighting game with. You gotta use a Sega Saturn controller in able to proper play most of those.

If this came out in 1999 when the Dreamcast was still active then it'll be impressive and definitive but nowadays this game is everywhere now. You could already play a definitive version of this on any modern system whether PC, console or handheld rendering this late port as pointless. Unless you absolutely do not want to play the modern platforms and still living in a pretend world of the past then I guess you could try this modern take of the game in your dead system.

Meh never heard of them til now, I buy all my digital game keys at either Fanatical, Eneba, G2A, GOG, Steam, PSN, Wii Shop, eBay, Play-Asia, Amazon, Nintendo, and Kinguin but never them.

While playing NeoGeo games on the go is nice especially if Evercade got the go ahead on this, without a clicky stick it just doesn't feel like a portable NeoGeo to me. If Evercade is smart they could make a NeoGeo version of the Evercade with clicky stick and color buttons akin to the NeoGeo CD control pad. I would only buy the Evercade versions of NeoGeo games and an Evercade system if they released it like that.

@Sketcz The reason it got less contents was cause it was just an arcade port. The arcade games only had 3 tracks cause those were meant to challenge players and take their quarters. Why they didn't include any exclusive new contents for the home game I would never know but I guess they were keeping it true to the arcade experience.

I'm glad GOG exist, other than Steam and Epic Game Store, they are the third of many storefront I trust on PC.

You could never get enough of Tetris, the Switch is now officially the home for all things Wonder Boy, Shantae, Legend of Heroes Trails games, Cotton, SaGa, Puyo Puyo, and Tetris.

@deVriestron The thing is they called it SuperSega, they could had easily called it SuperAges and still be able to use all the same letters for the name.

@KitsuneNight Which is why I say if.

If Alejandro Martín is smart he could make a name change to the final console and then fight Sega at their own game pointing to the upcoming delisting of Sega games as a reason to forego this project.

The court will ask, "Why you make this you know it's illegal to use the Sega name to make a new console right?" He could answered by just saying, "The name of the console is not final and will be change. As to why I am making this FPGA clone console, it's cause Sega is known for delisting their classic titles from legit digital storefront that I can't legitimately buy my games anymore so I went ahead to making an FPGA console as a mean to play and preserve my Sega classic games."

It's not surprising that Sega is coming after him but if he could fight them and win he may be able to keep the project going. Taking advantage of the Sega mass delisting coming up this week as evident of his ambition to make this will surely help him in preventing Sega from shutting down his project. If he refuse to fight them and choose to shutdown then that's that and whoever pre-order this thing is screwed.

The curse of Yuji Naka continued, even with the dude still in prison, he made sure the co-worker he hates (Naoto Ohshima) will never gets recognition ever again and it looks like it's working just as he planned.

Looks so generic and weird, why put an analog stick that low down there? Also who would play GameCube games on this thing, it doesn't even had a second stick. Retroid Pocket 4 Pro is cheaper the price and could run a majority of these games/emulator full speed and more.

This is just Piko Interactive who bought the brand name, they're not the same people or company who went one on one with Sony in court back then. Heck I'll bet if this is the same company back then, they wouldn't even be able to fight Sony. Instead they would had just surrender and lose. The Bleem, Atari, Activision, Sega, Intellivision, Crystal Dynamic, Coleco, Rare, and SNK of today are not the same company they were back then. A majority of their original staff are gone, their focus when it comes to gaming are not like before, most are operate under a bigger entity such as Microsoft, QUByte, Embracer, Playmore, and Sammy. The fact people still believe these companies are the same probably didn't know the history of how they got here. Still though even if they are not the same company, most of these reboot company did do a great job of continuing the legacy of the brand they revive.

I don't get it, if their physical games are legit and partnered by real devs why not just sell these at eBay? Etsy is a scummy marketplace just like AliExpress, Temu, Newegg, Walmart, Amazon, and Wish.

Instead of getting those games for PS5, how bout get those for PC and Switch instead. I don't think Sony care about any of their past game library that much. Get those on PC and Switch so a larger install base of audience could get a chance to try those games.

@wiiware It is the right move for console if you're Sony (and not everyone else) cause with Sony they are the ones that makes the disc themselves so if any company makes games for them they get licensing fee and royalty fee from every game sold of every disc sold. That's different from Sega (Sega CD, Sega Saturn Sega Dreamcast), Hudson (PC Engine CD, Turbo CD), SNK (NeoGeo CD), and Atari (Jaguar CD), all which had their disc media license from other third party companies so the royalty fee doesn't come to them but to the disc makers (Sony's competitors) instead.

This is why Sega doesn't want to make RPGs as much during the Sega CD and Sega Saturn era cause making RPGs especially the larger ones for those platforms meant requiring multiple discs which means they had to pay their disc media manufacturer a ton of money just to get those multiple discs for one game so in those era Sega try to make smaller RPGs as to avoid doing that or just none at all. This is also why games like Shining Force III which had multiple discs entry were not release in the west cause it would be too expensive for Sega to handle since they not only had to pay for the discs but also pay for the localization as well hence why only Scenario 1 made it worldwide but not the other two.

Sony on the other hand had no issue cause Sony themselves made their own disc, earn more money and was able to use those disc for larger games that requires them which is why SquareSoft go to them instead of Sega cause with Sony Square could get easy access to those discs for money on the cheap whereas if they go to Sega then they will had to pay Sega just to get disc from Sega's own manufacturer which doesn't guaranteed them if they get enough bulk of those disc for development of their games.

Disc licensing is also the reason why the Turbo CD, NeoGeo CD, and the Jaguar CD all failed, Hudson, SNK, and Atari are small companies by that point, they are bleeding money and can't afford to pay royalty to the disc manufacturer so they just went under instead or just remain a 3rd party software dev instead. This also apply to the 3DO as well, heck the 3DO didn't even make it to next gen cause they too are bleeding money way more than any other company even getting betray by their brother company, EA as well. This is also why Nintendo didn't embrace disc until the GameCube era where Nintendo could get cheaper deal on smaller disc that not only they could afford but able to work with.

@axelhander A sci-fi RPG where you play as a bunch of no name characters who could only walk in 4 directions and you could only see their backs in battle with stiff animations. That's suppose to be better than Chrono Trigger? Don't make me laugh. While the story of Phantasy Star IV is decent, it's nothing unique or engaging compare Chrono Trigger. Perhaps the only few RPGs that it is better than is Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest, one of the SaGa game on Game Boy, and maybe Ys III. It could also be better than the first four Dragon Quest games so that's something too.

@ChromaticDracula Reason for that was cause these codes were never suppose to be given to the gamers to begin with as they are just debug codes. They are given to game debuggers and testers to test the game which is why it allows the player to exit the level even when it's not completed yet. This is also why they gave player the START + SELECT exit code instead. Because it was not meant to be a cheat code it was never made aware to the general public until now due to the crack.

It's the same deal with the Shin Akuma code for the Super NES version of Street Fighter Alpha 2. Shin Akuma on that verison was never suppose to be playable but a playable version of the character was in the source code for that game so when it was crack it could be unlock but originally Shin Akuma himself was suppose to just be a test character in the game for debuggers to test and debug the character and its AI, not originally meant to be playable.

While cool that it was discovered, it's basically just an exit level code much like the START + SELECT when on completed levels. Useful for those who want to explore the unclear level without using lives I guess.

In this age of smartphones, I doubt any kids would want these. It'll probably just stay a Japanese only collector's trinket at best.

@combywomby That's good to know. This is what Limited Run Games should learn from.

It's likely they are going just use the Silver Star Harmony voice actors again or find new ones. No way they are going to offer Ireland any money for the old stuffs though it would be nice if they do.

Now they are just making excuses for why they are acting scummy. If you're honest and had nothing to hide just do like any honest company does and actually show us a real prototype in action without any smoke and oil hiding the facts.

For those getting the physical copies for their Polymega, better cross your hands and hope those are not just cheap burn disc. I know Playmaji is not like Limited Run Games but remember that these are the same people that originally claim Polymega was gonna used FPGA and then years later they cheap out by using emulation instead. I wouldn't trust these guys with their physical disc media game collections.

I don't get it, if he's not trying to hide anything then why did he change the perspective of his camera video?

You can tell the first 4 minutes was film in third person meaning he had a camera man filming him driving the lambo onto the parking lot and while he's talking to the camera with the so call prototype in his hands but immediately once he's indoor the perspective change to a first person perspective meaning he now film the footage himself.

Perhaps his camera man left after the 4 minutes or he didn't pay him enough to film longer than that. Whatever the case, this doesn't change much from the rest of his other videos, it seems he's trying to hide something and is doing a not so good job of it.

@ImmortalJim My guess is once the game got ported to the west, Disney mistakenly put the Mega Drive boxart on it for promotional purposes. Western boxart back then are also usually very lazy cause most publishers tend to think they are the same game for example Link's Awakening on Game Boy had the same boxart as A Link to the Past resulting in most consumers buying either one or the other and not both as they think both are just the same game when really they're not.

Considering Aladdin never really use a sword in the animated movies and tv show, this makes Capcom's version of the game feel more closer to those than the Sega Genesis version. Anyways all three versions are fun to play so whichever one you prefer just play those.

At the time I didn't even know there was a second and third Mickey's Magical Quest games, I thought the first was its only game. Later after playing that one, the only other two I play on Super NES was Mickey Mania and Mickey's Ultimate Challenge, both which are okay game but nothing like Mickey's Magical Quest or the Illusion games and both are not made by either Capcom or Nintendo.

Of the Yoshi puzzle trilogy: Yoshi's Egg, Yoshi's Cookies, and Yoshi de Pon (Tetris Attack), I found this one to be less exciting. Mario himself was basically curse to be the cursor.

@nocdaes Nintendo aren't doing it cause they are a console game manufacturer, not clone maker. They make modern game consoles, retro game consoles are for the after market companies to make.

Tbh I was surprise it took that long for Nintendo to actually get that guy. Still the fact that Nintendo only put a strike and not a block on his account is generous enough. Though I like getting free games through emulation myself I would never show someone or anyone how to do it online. If they want to do it they could research and find that for themselves. It's like stealing from a grocery store without getting caught, if I could steal from a grocery store without getting caught I ain't gonna show you a tutorial about it online, you research and find out how to do that yourself. The only thing I could tell you is that it could be done, that is all.

For a company that never released any game on Sega consoles back in the days, it boggles my mind why they even bother with these. The only reason why Square Enix had any tie to these systems nowadays was that they bought a majority of IPs (Grandia, Lunar, Ogre Battle, Tactics Ogre, Tomb Raider, etc.) that use to be from there.

@Blast16 Double Dragon IV's issues was that it had no qol features otherwise people wouldn't be so harsh on it. The game plays just like the NES games in that if you get a Game Over, you start back from the very beginning losing your entire progress. There's no quick save, no rewind or fast forward options, no filter options, no save states, no cheat codes or bonuses for extra lives, and no new moves or levels to play except the main arcade mode. It's no surprise the newer audience didn't like it unlike Super Double Dragon which they do love it.

He talks like he doesn't want the series to evolve. Nobody wants to play Double Dragon in pixeled form forever. In hindsight the series needs to evolve or it gets stale and falls under. The only guilty pleasure of this game is that it's not coming to the Nintendo Switch, a platform known for retro re-releases since no one from the PlayStation and Xbox platforms would ever buy or play these kind of games.

Considering this could get shutdown by Sega at any time, I doubt this thing would ever make it to market. Good luck to those who did pre-order it though, hope you enjoy your Chinese plastic emulation console with Sega's name slapped on it.

Looks like a filter code. Nice that it had been found.

Well I guess if we keep waiting they may eventually make one that look like the GBA. That's when I'll probably plan to buy one someday.

So it's basically a Steam Machine that allows you to play emulate games as well. Kinda odd that those are its selling point since you could basically do all of that on an actual Steam Machine, Atari VCS, portable PC, Steam Deck, etc.

Still got this game on my Sega Saturn, nice that they are planning to bring it back.

I wonder how long they'll last until they became non-existent. Nintendo, Atari, Sony, Valve, and Sega didn't even come for RomHacking.Net but they died anyways.
