Nice. Whatever it turns out to be, I hope it gets translated for all fans.

You'd think translation would be a solved problem at this stage in our civilization's development. Should be an effortless skill/technology by now. Man we suck.

Speaking of... Where's that Lady Stalker translation, Gideon?

Glad I held off. Suppose that MOSS should have given the Fighters games to Hamster Corporation. Since they did such a good job with Raiden I.

God forbid they somehow find a way to give us Raiden II & DX, and it, too, is butchered like this.

@MARl0 I hope they're happy knowing they brought about the Cookie's Bustle renaissance instead. XD

@GodlessPreservation You're a hypocrite. You flip from anti-preservation to pro from article to article. Make it make sense.

If they didn't demagnetize the disc, the data could still be recovered. Is US customs stupid?

They didn't destroy the art, so I wonder what they were looking for in the floppy that couldn't be inspected with tweezers and a flashlight? Real ham-handed work.

Must be a common item smugglers use, and US custom's total lack of computer literacy training has left their dropouts unprepared.

Note to self: don't ship floppies right now.

Awesome. Runs great on my TED Pro. No sync issues. Wonderfully low-fi, crunchy audio. Which was the style at the time. If my hearing didn't suck, I might actually come close to understanding the game.

No joy on my jailbroken Analogue Duo. Man, what an incompatible hunk of junk that thing is. I hope they are ashamed of their work. Not very Popful of them.

Steam got the update a couple of days ago. I'm glad they haven't forgotten us. It's hard when you only have 60-70% of a game to work with.

I don't think they care. They'll vibe code slop for cheap.

I, too, recall when gaming wasn't infested with opportunists and speculators with gold fever.

Omega Boost is peak. I'll never forget when Sony brought their promotional trailers to my school's student union and let us play it. Bought it as soon as it was out. Good times.

"Legendary".
Yeah, legendarily *****.

It was pretty good for SubLogic's Flight Simulator, and that's it.

I've always imagined what those unused spots on the map would have been. This is cool.

Oh boy. Can't wait for the same games to be re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-released again later.

How about porting some of your lesser ported stuff, yeah SEGA?

I'm getting big "The Vagrant but in pixel art form" vibes. We must go indie-er.

I mean, ReShade exists for the not-lazy. Don't know why anyone is complaining about how Belmont's Curse looks. It's fine, pixels or not.

Wishlisting that Silent Planet, tho. Hope it's got good controls. Lots of 'vania fangames ignore that part.

@MARl0 Personally, I love the more realistic floaty AG. I think it feels great, especially at higher speeds. It completely transforms the lines you take through a course once you actually learn to apply yourself with the game's mechanics. And the zen that comes from swooping around in a zippy float boat like that suits the music far better than being weirdly magnetized at one height level relative to the track surface (which looks comically silly).
BallisticNG nails it.

I'd honestly rather have more mature and feature-complete firmware, thanks.

So there's a chance for Einhänder to show up in Console Archives.

Who cares, as long as it's fun.

We need a method to reverse-engineer IA generated content. That'll put the fear of copyright lawsuits in their single-celled skulls.

Nice. One of the most content-rich home ports. I own them all and always find myself coming back to this one.

The Replay tune is one of the sickest chiptune jams out there.

I hope this leads to an x86 recomp for some QoL additions.

It wasn't a failure back then either. It was so successful, in fact, that It spawned a successor. A successor which Sony hated and kicked into the bin, repeatedly, as if trying to kill it.

I hope they're able to patch it up to how it should be, despite only working with a partial codebase.

I wonder if Live Wire ever fixed DDP DFK on Switch after they broke it with their last patch.

All that money and they resort to cheap tricks? I got a trick, too. It's called pirating CotW.

Skipping Evo again, too. I miss when it was independent and not a boring corpo ***** show. Now it's simply a commodity passed around by sociopaths to appeal to slop guzzlers.

We've got playable Daytona USA & Ridge Racer in VRChat, thanks to Zone. ;D

A blood-red cart would have made more sense.

I love flash carts. Have you tried the MrCART from RetroOnyx?

"digging into the settings on Analogue's console, I located a 'HuCard Audio' option, and, once this was selected, I could hear the full spectrum of sounds from PC Engine CD titles."

So does that mean STEREO CD audio? There's only one available audio channel pin on HuCards for CD audio, and to my knowledge Analogue doesn't implement anything like Krikzz's EDFX tech inside their Duo product.

In my day, people worked an honest day, made an honest wage, and were able to afford high quality products. Today, it's a race to the bottom, using demand as justification.

Lol. Stee-rike!

Founders / Friends are getting units already, according to the Retro Remake shipping dash.

Sadly I must wait until the dock is done manufacturing before I'll get mine.

Ah well. Patience is a thing I must do now, goodbye.

Wow, great interview! I love Tez Okano's work. Had no Idea HUGA was him, too. Girl From Gunma Kai is a neat little SHMUP.
Thunder Force VI doesn't deserve the hate. I think it's great!

December is almost over.

Cool. I love the style.

It'll be a lot better if they can fix the timing issue. Seems to run 2 seconds faster than an N64 every ten minutes. Deffo not speedrun legal.

I heard about this game through Vinny from Vinesauce when they had copyright trouble when streaming it. It's like someone watches the internet like a hawk going after some kind of strange secret this game holds and quashing it.
Either someone is overprotective of the IP or it holds some dark secret about Life, The Universe, and Everything.

I thought the link system was big fun, and the music was deliciously sublime. I still whistle and bang my head to the special stage tube music. As a teen, I loved slingshotting myself all over the levels. And the final boss is the kind of horrifying that can only be matched by Metroid Fusion's Nightmare.

This game really ought to have been included in Sonic Origins, along with a few others that I know SEGA wants to bury.

Oh, yeah... The romhack. Not playing this because it removes the game's identity. Not a "fix" by any definition.

All BF has to do is keep the A1UP manufacturing as-is. EZ. One job. Virtually unbiffable.

I'm not really invested in A1UP, don't own a single thing of theirs. It's not the size, cost or build quality--I think they're all fine, but...

LCDs do not work for arcade games. They just don't. CRT or go home.

Nice. Finally playable from start to finish. Prior Demul versions would inevitably crash trying to load one of the later stages.

Love that R-Type is still getting updated releases. If only the Thunder Force games could get refreshed by Sega & M2.

Call me when Uranus is available.

@MegaManFan Just the usual vague Analogue marketing. Their own word is worthless. To them, promises are meaningless. The hardware is the only thing that speaks in their favor.

Will I smell like Metal Gear?!

Nah. I'll wait until it's out.

Can't wait. This game is legendary.

I love it when a trademark troll/squatter gets pwnt, and their ashes are sprinkled in sewage.

I'm ready to cry again.

I dig the "personalized" vibe that the inky void, unfiltered textures and glitches give off.

I'll shoot for one on Monday. I've got the budget. If I don't get it, whatever. Alternatives abound.

When selfless meets selfish you get an explosion. Finding the right mix is what separates the winners from the losers.

They ought to sell the buttons separately as they do for some of their other devices on the 8bitdo website. So those with the all-black controller can swap the buttons out. "But muh costs". Figure it out, businesspeople. That's your role.
