Re: SuperSega FPGA Team Understands Why You Think Its Console Is "Vapourware"

Serpenterror

@Taikuaile In this age and time you don't even need a disc drive to play those games anymore. There are ODE mod for disc based systems like the 3DO, Sega Saturn, PS1, PS2, PS3, Sega Dreamcast, GameCube, Xbox, Wii, and Wii U that will allow you to play the complete library of games on those system via microSD card instead of disc. For cartridge based games like Atari 2600, 5200, 7800, Atari Lynx, Arcade, Atari Jaguar, Turbo Grafx-16, Super Grafx, NES, Super NES, N64, Sega Genesis, Sega Master System, Sega 32X, SG-1000, Game Boy, Game Gear, GBC, GBA, PS Vita, Nintendo DS, NeoGeo, NeoGeo Pocket Color, and Wonder Swan, there are EverDrive and flash cartridge that gives you the same privilege.

Re: Want To Know The Real Scale Of The Virtual Boy's Failure? Visit A Japanese Game Shop

Serpenterror

The Virtual Boy was a unique console with its own unique library of game. It was one of Gunpei Yokoi's masterpiece hardware and it showcase what virtual 3D would be like straight in your face that you could take anywhere with you. I don't think there are any company nowadays had ever invent or done what the Virtual Boy had done or outclass it better in any ways. It was its own kind of innovation and spectacle despite having its own flaws to deal with.

Re: "We Are Waiting For A Reply From Sega" - SuperSega FPGA Console Team Talk Price, Release Date And More

Serpenterror

This like the Sega Spartan are just Sega fanboy wet dream consoles. They rely too much on Sega and will probably get ignore. They don't build up a reputation first and then go from there but instead thought that cause they had a website from 2002 ago they count themselves as been in the game for a long time. Nope that's not how it works, existing for that long is nothing but actually had a product and a reputation for that long would definitely interest Sega.

They only exist, they did not had a good reputation or products to show or prove to Sega that they could be a legit partner. Yes Sega support companies like Retro-Bit, Blaze and AtGames but these companies already built and had good reputation to prove to Sega that they could be trusted partners in their relationship, these guys are a bunch of nobodies creating an idea and had not proven anything yet.

Re: Taki Udon's $99 MiSTer FPGA Clone Won't Be $99 - It Will Be Even Cheaper

Serpenterror

@aegis_autumn Remember that the price you pay for this is just for the board alone, not the actual kit, accessories, or shell. Once you got the board, you still need the kit to put everything together, then a custom shell to close up entire thing in a neat package. By the time you got all those together and setup, you had already spend more than what you would had on any of Analogue's products.

If you made one mistake that screw everything up then you've just wasted your money. Even if you finished building the thing you still had to go online to find the latest up to date operating system, programs, software, compatible cores, and roms to get it working. Note that not every operating systems for MiSTer or likewise its clone are the same. Some may function on your built and some may not and could brick your system. Some will also had better compatibility than others meaning you could play some games better on one os over the others, this applies to features as well. You really had to know what you're doing when building and setting these up to be able to make good use of em.

With Analogue you bought the complete console with everything setup, built, install, and ready to be use, that's why it cost a premium whereas these don't since you're buying parts to make one yourself. You can't compare a finish product to a set of parts that may likely fall apart.

Re: Meet The Solo Dev Whose Sega Rally Tribute Could Become An Official Sequel

Serpenterror

Incredible game, still I don't get why it needs to have the Sega brand attach to it when he could just release it without one. Just finished the game and release it as your own original work, that way you don't have to worry about license conflict. Chances are Sega is likely gonna say no. Also while Sonic Mania was made official from a fan game, Streets of Rage 4 is not. That game is fully license by Sega themselves and is made by an indie dev, not a fan.

Re: Did The Stampers Really Think Miyamoto Copied Sabre Wulf With Zelda?

Serpenterror

Miyamoto clearly said the Legend of Zelda was not based on any of those awful games, it was a game he made based from his experience as a kid who loves exploring into caves and ruins and finding lost treasures and stuffs. These games that are accusing him of that aren't even that, there's no cave, there's no exploring, it's a character swinging his weapon with no rhyme or reasons across different part of the jungle. That's it. Link is not a depiction of Miyamoto but an avatar for the player to play the game so they would experience the same childhood memory that he did but in digital form. Back at the time the only way you could make an action adventure game that offer the same level of exploration and depth is through a bird eye perspective. Just cause they exist first doesn't necessarily mean Zelda is a ripoff of them and even if it is it doesn't share their ideology, gameplay, or mechanics.

Re: Soapbox: The Trouble With Limited Run Games, And How To Fix It

Serpenterror

My only issue with them was their long wait for their shipping since they only shipped in batch. Other than that I don't had that much of an issue with them and a lot of their releases got reprint via Best Buy so even if you miss their pre-order period you could still get the reprint versions at retailer. Now the bad news is that Best Buy doesn't carry physical games anymore making them Worst Buy now so the only way to get their games is either through pre-orders or finding some use copies on ebay.

Re: Grand Theft Auto III Likely Wouldn't Exist Without The Sega Dreamcast

Serpenterror

@no_donatello The thing is even though the PS2 had the advantage in storage space via bigger DVD size disc, its processor is a bit slower than the GameCube. Resident Evil 4 may be on one full disc on PS2 and 2 discs on GameCube but the GameCube version not only look better but runs smoother at 60fps whereas the PS2 version despite having the full game and extra contents look a bit too jagged and only runs at 30fps.

Re: iPhone NES Emulator Pulled From App Store "Out Of Fear"

Serpenterror

He did the right thing, whether Nintendo is coming to get him or not is questionable. Taking the risk out of his life is better than leaving it in to applease the brokees. Emulators and emulations in general are legal but there's a few bunch of individuals who used it for illegal means and those are the ones that ruins the game for everyone.

Re: Evercade EXP-R And Evercade VS-R Consoles Launch This July

Serpenterror

@Moroboshi876 The VS-R console will only come bundle with one controller instead of two unlike the original VS. That's why it's cheaper. I say if you don't care about portability and don't have anyone to play with then the VS-R is the more affordable way to get it, if you do have another person to play with then just stick to the original VS. Other than the colors, there really is no difference in specs between the two.

Re: This New NES Accessory Makes Cheating At Zelda Easier Than Ever

Serpenterror

@Ironcore If you used an 8Bitdo GBros. adapter that'll work too. The GBros. adapter will let you control both a GameCube controller and Wii Classic Controller, NES Classic Edition Controller or Super NES Classic Edition Controller wirelessly at the same time as the same player for the Wii U and Nintendo Switch.

Re: 22 Years Later, GBA Action RPG 'Kien' Is Finally Coming Out

Serpenterror

Guys this is a terrible game, there's a ghost that constantly pops out to interrupt you whenever a new game element is introduced. On top of that this is one of those awful platformer where the B button is jump and A button is attack and there's no way to re-configure that option. It's not a comfortable game to play.

Re: Square Had Huge Plans For The N64 Before It Fell Out With Nintendo

Serpenterror

@james4591 Not really, Square was planning to stay with Nintendo even if the Super NES PlayStation CD thing fell through. The thing is Square was waiting for the 64DD to launch with the N64 itself cause that was the peripheral that added more memory for them to make FFVII. Nintendo delay the N64 and on that case the 64DD as well. Then Square beg Nintendo to use CD like Sony and Sega and Nintendo refused, that's when Square truly broke away from Nintendo.

If Square was really trying to seek another partner after the Super NES CD PlayStation fallout, then they would had partner with Sega instead of Sony. The fact that they didn't partner with Sega at all during their existence in the 90s and rather stay with Nintendo means they still value Nintendo to the point where they were able to work with them on Super Mario RPG: Legends of the Seven Stars. Also that big chunk of contents that got cut from the Secret of Mana CD game weren't totally wasted either. It was a time traveling mechanic story and it got reused for another game. What was that game again? Ah yes Chrono Trigger, that's the one. It was a good call for them to use it for Chrono Trigger cause then they could expand more on the world building of each era whereas if it stay with Secret of Mana it would had just been filler contents anyways.

Re: SNES Hidden Gem 'Melfand Stories' Receives Full English Fan Translation

Serpenterror

@Magrane While the story on that one is decent, the gameplay didn't get hamper because of the lack of translation. You could still have fun with the game without knowing the story. On games like Dragon Quest and Fire Emblem you really need those translation or else the gameplay suffer cause those deals with a high amount of menu and decision makings. Panel de Pon hardly does any of that unless navigating the main menu in Japanese is difficult for you.

Re: Punch-Out!! Is Getting A Fanmade SNES Port

Serpenterror

I thought the whole point of porting an NES game to Super NES was that it had Super NES enhanced features like better graphics, 16-bit audios and sounds, voiceworks, and battery back save slots. This is just them ripping the NES rom onto a Super NES chip and just playing it on there using MSU-1 as the audio substitute. This is not Punch-Out!! ported for Super NES, it's just Punch-Out!! emulated on Super NES. It's literally the same thing if you use a clone adapter. For it to feel like a Super NES game it need 16-Bit graphics and support from the Super NES Sony sound chip. It needs to look like this game that some company ported to Super NES a long time ago.
