@RetroGames It really is a good read and feels a lot like Mean Machines.

@WiteWulf @WiteWulf Ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, yeah, maybe

@Zverik Ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa MJ

I think we're going to see the handheld mk2 and the announcement of solo releases featuring modern retro aesthetic games, like Blazing Chrome and Steel Assault, at least that's what I'm hoping for.

@CharlieGirl Excellent production, but super cheap gameplay though for the most part.

@Kiz3000 I see absolutely no reason why a company would not re-issue a previously agreed license, allowing them to generate further revenue from games that are thirty plus years old..

If that is the finished box, it is pretty shocking, both in design and construction.

@Kiz3000 Well those packages are obviously pre-packed so i guess once they run out, they run out. Namco will just re-release though as they are getting a licence to cover both consoles soon.

They should up the price to 25 a cart and do solo releases of recent retro aesthetic games like Blazing Chrome, Steel Assault, Infernax etc. At the currents cost there is no way these people will get involved. I would love to see these games on a solo cart, that's a real modern retro experience.

@Kiz3000 How do you know what one's are going out of print?

@Spider-Kev To say 'Any' is silly. I've backed over fifty on KS and only had a problem with one. Backing new consoles is a different thing entirely.

@impurekind it is it's own new type board with added advancements, but this is nothing new. 50% of all NES games used onboard chip enhancements to allow them to work.

@CharlieGirl It's a good game, to be honest I found SOR4 utterly boring after the first playthrough. The locking of the file is of course utterly ridiculous, but one which might change as these carts have connection ports, for future updates. I waited almost ten years for this game, was it worth that long, no, is it worth playing..absolutely.

I already own the original, but this is really cool to see. I'm tempted by the t-shirt alone.

@Dethmunk It's a re-creation of the original, that's why it looks like the original.

@Darknilious it literally says on their YOutube channel

looks far better than I ever imagined it would. Bring back the original theme tune.

@Clammy When you were twelve, watching jet was cool, 'celebrity' today has taken on a much different meaning. If you're excited by the thought of a load of Towie drips playing VR, and yes 90% of the games are all VR due to this being co developed by Oculus, then all power to you. I watched Games Master as a kid to see new games that I either didn't own, or that were not yet released. I couldn't give a toss about John Fashnu poorly playing sensible soccer. At least they've got you to watch.

Who???? Literally never heard of him in my life. the fact that it's a celebrity thing makes this utter W#NK. There are enough of these drips floating around the airwaves as is. The people that are involved with this, that worked on the original should be ashamed of themselves for touting that history.

yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

@Monkeyboy Hard pass, £175 is crazy

This is quite hilarious.

Yessssss! This is amazing. I remember when they showed the first footage of the SNES and Ghouls N Ghosts. I watched that fifteen-second clip for about six months whilst awaiting it's release.

@Yorumi burnt discs and an everdrive is all you need. Nobody in their right mind is going to start forking out £500 and upwards for a CD game.

But.....But....But...it's just a scam, it doesn't play games very well, it doesn't even exist.

@StevenG Yeah i don't like to go in too hard.

@OldMcGroin It plays Nintendo games?

"Ohhhh but but its gonna be crap, its vaporware, its a con"
I always knew this would be good.

If the console didn't look completely sh#t, i'd definitely own one. I think it's a great idea and seems to work well too. The design aesthetic however is dreadful. The graphics, the buttons, it looks like the cheap chinese system that it is. Now what would be better is to put these guts into a home console. I'd buy that regardless.

@JayJ My thoughts exactly. You used to get them in PC world circa 99'

@AstralSoul64 This is in no way intended to do that, obviously.

I wish Tommy well in this venture but for someone who has had such a rich history in video games and been involved on so many levels, this just looks really poor. Laughably so tobe honest. i don't even think kids would be that into it as they have better stuff in their pocket.

@iN5OMANiAC You ever heard of Youtube???

I vividly remember the news section on this when it showed both the Neo geo AES and the SNES. I video'd it and watched it over and over again.

Cue the damning comments.

Sounds like a really cool and talented guy.

@pblive They've obviously just paid out cash to get the licence and i don't see the arcade stick going very far or being suppoprted for very long. They will want to utilise that licence and we all know they are sat on possibly the richest arcade pile that exists.

@pblive Now that Capcom had rekindled the AVP licence for the arcade stick you can guarantee we will see another arcade compilation. They will want to sell that as much as possible.

@Ventilator Me too, i absolutely love it. It was hampered by the supposedly unplayable framerate that just isn't true. I think it's a real gem in the Wiiu's library.

@Ventilator Anyone with a devils Third thumb is alright with me.

It's already been ahcked so you can add any games that you like.

@Matthew010 KU-OH-SHUH

100% the best looking model. if it wasn't for play asia's steep shipping fees i would do it.

It still looks like it costs. That D pad looks awful and would of benefited greatly by also beng black here.

Turbo Grafx 16 mini just made this obselete

Still arender and still looks like utter garbage. To of essentially copied the Famicom logo aesthetic is sooooooooooo lazy. oh it's a retro based consoel we'd better make it look like anothjer existing retro classic console. it shows absolutely zero thought into the design process abd that is enough for me to know it will be dreadful.

Good to see smaller games get onto a system like this, but i still think the system looks awful.

@Filbert_Wang Well it shares a similar colour that's about it. I think it looks cheaply done.

I like the idea of new retro styles games making it onto cartridge but i'm not sold on the system. It looks terrible. They should of bundled this into a console not a handheld and it would of been really cool.

@KennyBania LOL
