@WaveBoy For me I just cant knowing where the money is going and before you say yes I know that Nintendo and Capcom are owned by them too but thats why I buy used games.

More importantly with my state of employment changing recent I cant afford to drop that money even if I want to preorder it now. Also I might have to travel two states away here soon due to a personal matter that happened over the weekend so yeah. Maybe next year when I am in a better state financially and they have a bit more games for it that I am interested in are out, Iam surprised that Baseball Stars wasnt in the initial line up, then I might look for a used one.

Also to be honest if the Steam Machine comes out before that then I just may go that route to play me some Neo Geo games.

I wonder how they feel supporting a terrorist organization.

Love how all the Nintendo Fanboys are saying yeah they were frustrated with Nintendo but they were more so with MS lol.

Give it a rest Nintendo just like with so many other business decisions thought that they were too high and mighty to fail and as a result lost Rare to MS. However Nintendo must not had been to worried about losing them in the end cause they could have bought them outright in the beginning but only bought half. Another poor business decisions by Nintendo that came to bite them in the ass.

@slider1983 Yeah Blaze is ok, Just any SNK products you buy even from them go to support terrorists.

@slider1983 Not Blaze, SNK. They are owned fully by Saudi ownership.

Sorry I dont support terrorists.

@sixrings Someone is always going to be supporting them that how it works. Weither its through their illegal arms sales, to paying them at the pump, to purchasing a.console through them they will.be getting money.

When I buy the item used they arent getting it from me. It may not be a huge step and honestly it probably wont hurt them but yes at least I can sleep better at night.

@Damo Wow didnt know that SNK was owned by a nation that supports terrorists. Thats a shame cause I really wanted to get a Neo Geo+. Will be canceling my preorder. Maybe I will pick up one on the used market in a few years.

Baseball Stars 2. Loved that games since I downloaded it on the Wii VC.

@ElkinFencer10 For sure. Going into your local arcade playing Metal Slug or whatever was your favorite Neo Geo game and then being able to play the exact same thing at home. I mean yeah you had home ports of Arcade games for years dating back to Atari but it was never the same. It got closer with consoles like the SNES and Genesis but again something was off then the Neo Geo hit and it was like OMG!!! Honestly for me I didnt get the arcade at home feeling again till the Sega Dreamcast with games like Crazy Taxi.

Obviously the thing that held the Neo Geo back was the price at the time.

You have to use your hands, thats a baby's toy.

@ElkinFencer10 WoW didnt realize they are not making them anymore. I remember first seeing it about ten years ago at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo and playing Samurai Shodown on it and loving it. It was a goal of mine to eventual own it.

I remember being in middle school and my friend, whose parents were big PC and technology nerds and who happen to have every console had one. I never got a chance to play it all I got to do was hold a controller. I remember then reading about the Neo Geo in gaming magazines at the time and just falling in love with it. Fatal Fury is my second favorite fighting game, right after Tekken and always enjoyed the Metal Slug games and of course Baseball Stars.
When I saw this, I knew I had to jump on it.

@ElkinFencer10 I have been wanting one of those for years but everytime I get the money saved up for one some expense always comes up and I cant get it.

My copy of Jaws was delayed. Original was suppose to get it between April 1st and June 31st now it says July 1st to September 31st. Which is a bummer for me I was hoping to have it by July 4th as every year I watch the movie then. Would have been nice to watch the movie, then play the game. Ah well.

Very sad to hear. The Kunio games are still some of my favorite games to this day even with spinoffs like River City Girls and the such.

My condolences to his family, friends and fans. My you rest in peace good sir.

I remember my brother and I playing Bases Loaded II on the NES alot, probably our most played baseball game till Ken Griffey Jr. came out for the SNES.

@KayFiOS The only benefit is that the games are physical cartridges. Unlike NSO on the Switch or a ROM file of PC.

I loved the Ravenloft Boxed set one of my favorite settings in AD&D.

I remember renting this game as a kid and just not enjoying it as much as the first Ken Griffey Jr game. The only thing I really liked from this game was the soundtrack.

@XiaoShao It was Deadpool not Spider-man that the Panda fought.

Loved the Gala this weekend. My favorites was Mortal Kombat and the Guns N Roses ones that the one couple did. Its worth noting that Sub-Zero made an appearance along with Deadpool in the Kazakhstan skaters Kung Fu Panda tribute.

Still play my Genesis library to this day and of course my Dreamcast one of my favorite consoles of all time.

Thoughts go out to his family, friends and fans. R.I.P. sir.

Thoughts go out to his family, friends and fans. I often find myself humming his iconic tunes from many of his games at times. Especially River City Ransom, Nintendo Wolrd Cup and Super Dodge Ball. One of my favorites was in the NES version of Super Dodge Ball when you faced the mirror team.

The problem with achievements is that developers use them to add unnecessary fluff to game to claim its a longer game then it is and in turn that divided the gaming community and created completionists.

To many times I read or seen games advertise say stuff like this game is over 80 hours long or similar claims only to play the game and beat the entire story in less then 20 hours. But developers add a stupid achievement like jumping in one spot 100 times in a row and which take awhile and thus say the game is longer then it is.

Then you have the completionists who are so toxic and act so elite that when you say you beat a game's story they argue with you that you didnt beat the game because you didnt get the achievments.

The game is done completely when the story is done or the final level is finished. Period end of story. It doesnt matter if you jumped 100 times in a row in one spot or gathered 1000 coins in an hour or some b.s. like that. Achievements where created to lie to consumers and to create a toxicity in the gaming world.

I might have to check this out. I loved LotR Conquest despite all its flaws. My son and I put so many hours into that game. Its one of my top games that I want a remaster of.

I never got past Mechaturtle when I played as a kid. I didnt know that you could keep collecting the scrolls. Also by the time I finally got past the dam(n) level I didnt have much in the way of lives. Come to think of it I only think I got to Mechaturtle once.

I played so much Battletoads when I was a kid that after awhile the Tunnel was nothing. I had the whole thing memorized that it became second nature.

The only one I played was the Gamecube game and that was for all the NES games.

I never heard of this game before but it looks interesting. My first card game was a game called Spellfire which was actually made by TSR who owned D&D before they sold it to WotC. It was interesting enough and being into D&D at the time it was easy for me to get into.

There were alot of card games I tried before getting into Magic: The Gathering and I never got into Pokémon or Yu-gi-oh as those came out after I got out of those card games. Heck I think the newest version of MtG I have is 4th edition.

I always thought it was Igarashi that created the term since he created SoTN.

I remember Nintendo Power running a similar contest in the 90s. Its where Knightman and Windman in Mega Man 6 came from.

I always wanted to get a few of their machines problem is I just dont have the space for them. Especially when a few of those games like the TMNT ones and Marvel VS Capcom have been released on modern consoles, which take up less room. Granted some games weren't like The Simpsons and a few others or of course are meant to be played as an arcade for the full experience. But still they are niche products.

2025 has been a tough one for me as celebrity deaths go, this one just adds to it. Such a great actor not just in Mortal Kombat. His lines "IT HAS BEGUN!!!" and "Your soul is mine" are so iconic. It was such a great surprise to see him in MK 11.

Thoughts go out to his family, friends and fans. R.I.P. sir and thank you for such memorable moments.

Not surprising the guy is a liar and a fraud.

@slider1983 Its not that its even nostalgia bait they just drop names on stuff that dont even look like the stuff there named for. Now whenever you mention Demogorgon people think its some sort of plant monster rather then a demon. There is paying homage to the source material then there is just straight up insulting it. The reason they do it is to just get people to watch.

Stranger Things does t do any research at all the just name drop things to get people's reaction. Just look how they f*ucked up the Demogorgon and Vecna from D&D. Now because of that stupid show I cant use either in my D&D campaigns without it turning into a laughing stock.

Another legend has passed. My condolences to her family and friends. May she R.I.P.

Analogue products are solid and I expect nothing less with this one. Love my Super NT and MegaSG. Sadly though I will pass on this as I sold all my N64 games years ago to a co-worker, and all the games that I want to play on the N64 like GoldenEye, OoT and a few others are available in other ways.

I saw this the other day on my Facebook feed. It looks interesting and wouldn't mind trying it. Problem for me though is finding other people to play it with.

Always enjoyed the Battletoads arcade game, it's the Battletoad game I wanted as a kid. I didnt get a chance to play it till way later through emulation and then again on the Rare Replay.

Its by Ubisoft? If its not Assassins Creed or Far Cry it will be dead in a year, just look what they did to XDefiant.

@KingMike From my understanding it was the whole Saturn debacle that soured EA's relation with Sega. The "surprise" early release of the Saturn as well as the limited release to certain stores cost EA alot of money and then the life span of the Saturn. EA just felt that it wasn't worth dealing with Sega anymore after that fiasco.

@KingMike I remember Nester's Funky Bowling its one of the games I have. I am guessing that it was region exclusive to help push the Virtual Boy sales due to Nester being a character from Nintendo Power magazine.

@mariteaux The older Maddens were so good its really a shame that EAs greed ruined that series. I recently picked up Madden 05 on PS2 and I am having more fun with that game then Madden 25. The engine was so much better.

With that said the reason most people regard them as junk is because most hard-core Madden players want current rosters teams, logos etc. Once the new one comes out it previous one is junk.

Also alot of the younger generation never played the older Maddens the started with PS3 and Xbox 360 Gen Maddens and buy then they games weren't the same just the same garbage year after year with less content and a poor engine, which EA continues to build on.

I remember getting alot of my Virtual Boy games from Blockbuster when they were clearencing them out. I got them for $5 each sadly I didnt have Jack Bros or Virtual Bowling.

The main reason I never played or could get into Metal Gear Solid 2. It still makes me wonder why the got rid of Snake as the main protagonist and replaced him with Raiden.

This game just screams 80s. The box art reminds me of some 80s action flick and I love how they incorporate the title into it where hes punching through it. The game itself is a fun game too. I remember renting it a few times when I was a kid.

I actually forgot about this game, lol. Didn't know if it ever came out and I just missed it or what.

Nice to see MS supporting the Evercade.

I remember seeing one at my friend's house. Never played it though, his parents wouldn't let us. That's my only memory of the Amiga.
