Makes me wonder if they took out the mouse driver they used/wrote, or if they left it in the international release, and simply don't want to deal with running support.
No one found censorship funny in the 90s either. Dev is a person out of touch with reality. Trying to connect with the worst aspects of a dead world that no longer exists.
I hold the fondest memories for Time Crisis. Yet, seeing as it has been ported prior, perhaps it is time for the more obscure titles to bask in the limelight.
Also throwing my hat in with commenters asking for Sega to join. Their Sega Ages lineup for Switch was pretty dope. I am once again asking Sega to consider letting Hamster port Super GT Plus through ACA2.

Now that outrage has become ubiquitously profitable, we've become a "gotcha" society. Always seeking the next nothingburger controversy for those sweet dopamine clicks.
@FR4M3 When people operate under the assumption that others are bad, this starts a vicious cycle that leads to further negative actions. They are operating on good faith, and I see no reason to backseat folks with good intentions. Coulda, woulda, shoulda.
Microsoft leadership failed Xbox. And like the emotionally stunted corpos they are, they don't want to accept blame.

These are things they BOUGHT, not made. Except for Hola and Forza.
Western business is mentally ill at the highest echelons.
The music player is a welcome feature! If this port were able to be modified to also include the amazing DC/N64 music into the mix, somehow, It'd be best-er.
I have little respect for LRG, but now I'm losing respect for some who have worked for them, some who have had their hands in writing the Carbon Engine. If that was ever even an original creation of theirs.

Re: OutRun's Unofficial Game Boy Color Port Is Available Now, For Free
@h3s Yes, on PC, and it is lovely. The options let you fiddle with some neat US/JP/Proto options, too.
I'll give this GBC port a try on my Pocket ASAP.
Re: This White Limited Edition Vectrex Mini Will Cost $250, Standard Model Starts At $115
White paperweights In this economy?
Fr, though. I can see the white borders contrasting the screen and affecting visibility too much. I like having working eyes, tyvm.

Re: "We Should Do Something Like That" - Sega Seems Keen On A Virtua Fighter Collection
I cannot take Sega's revival seriously until they confirm Segata Sanshiro and Hornet for VF6.
Re: R-Type Delta: HD Boosted Will Be Playable At Gamescom This Month
@1040STF Yeah, I got those back when they launched! Amazing ports!
Re: Brandish Renewal On Switch Supports USB Mice, But Only In Japan

Re: Sick Of Waiting For '90s Arcade Racer To Launch, A Music Label Has Released Part Of Its Vince DiCola-Penned Soundtrack
Nicalis do be suckin' eternal. Thanks for killing games, Tyrone.
@UltraSuperMega That's the whole point. If the game description and name "90s Arcade Racer" wasn't clear enough.

Re: Following Valnet's Purchase Of Polygon, There's A Battle To Keep Vital Pieces Of Games Journalism Online
Pirate more media before it vanishes up a corpo's nose like so much white powder? Don't have to tell me twice.
Re: "It Should Be The Creators On The Packaging, Not The Publishing Label"
Nowadays it's easier than ever for developers to get their name and face out there, sans a corpulent content publisher.
Re: Mega Man's 1994 Animated Series Is Getting The Definitive Home Release Fans Have Been Waiting For
Better than anything ever aired on Disney+.

Hell yea. Love the art style of that era.

Re: RayForce's Phantom Sequel 'R-Gear' Just Got A Standalone Release In Japan
@PKDuckman To add to that list, Time Gal Rebirth comes to mind.
Re: "Please Support Us" Pleads Yuzo Koshiro As Pirated Earthion ROM Appears Online
I bought it, and plan to get the Genesis cart when it becomes available for ordering. It's good, and worth more than the asking price.
Re: RayForce's Phantom Sequel 'R-Gear' Just Got A Standalone Release In Japan
No one wanted to finish the game? Taito, I am disappoint. I'll forgive you if you release Vertexer.
Re: "It's Been One Hell Of A Journey" - Nostalgia Nerd's Crowdfunded Arcade Bar 'Barcadia' Is No More
Perhaps it was the change in times.
I still wouldn't dare open a barcade with only 25 large.
I forget if there was outside funding, but I imagine they hemorrhaged money FAST.

Where is Segagaga preserving ThunderForce??? ((

Re: Tomb Raider Composer Jailed For COVID Loan Fraud
Another musician falling prey to the allure of comparatively miniscule sums of money for no effort. At least he's facing justice.

Re: A New Dig Dug Game Has Just Been Released, But It's Only Playable For 2 Weeks
Good ol' FOMO. It informs you, the wise consumer, that the vendor is weak and unconfident in their work.
I say work, but this is actually market research aimed at kids.
Poor kids don't deserve this. Not after the Stygian horrors they've witnessed on the social medias.
Re: Bounty Sisters Is A Promising New Shoot 'Em Up From Ex-TwinBee & Gradius Devs
More shmups, yes please and thank.
Re: Nintendo Locking A Screen Filter Behind A Console Upgrade Hasn't Gone Down Well With Everyone
I'm not reading this ragebait. Not when I can spend that time making money, and using it to buy multiple Switch 2s.

Gimme that OutRun 2 cab.
Re: This $75 Nintendo DS-Focused Emulation Handheld Is Set To Launch Next Month
No thanks. My hands are cramping just looking at it, and the screen is obviously inadequate for proper scaling.

Paprium vapor-carts on LRG wen? I bet Fonzie could drive Josh up the wall.
Re: This Indie Dev Seems Pretty Serious About Making A Spiritual Successor To Ridge Racer
The timeless mind-boggling effects of the PlayStation. An aesthetic which holds up with the passage of time.
Re: Limited Run And Retro-Bit Under Fire For Using Recycled Chips In Shantae Advance
Et tu, RetroBit? Really strange.
And LRG helping game publishers destroy physical media by overcharging customers on used goods?
Might as well pirate everything not attached to a physical format. It's what corpos are asking for.
Re: Limited Run Refutes Accusation It Violated GPL In Tomba! Special Edition
I have little respect for LRG, but now I'm losing respect for some who have worked for them, some who have had their hands in writing the Carbon Engine. If that was ever even an original creation of theirs.

Re: Lunar Remastered Collection Uses The Working Designs Script
Perfect. Shame we couldn't also get the original VAs.
