@heligo I'm no expert or even much of a Zelda fan but I think the point is to be able to play ZTP on your PC or android device with an unlocked framerate, higher resolutions and many new quality of life enhancements.
I scoured the net for who actually is composing the music for these games but I could not find any info. Although Michiru Yamane has set the bar very high with her unbelievably beautiful music from previous Vania game, I am sure whoever pickes up the baton will kill it.
Beautiful game. I mowed a summer's worth of lawns to afford it as a teeneger. My takeaway at 50 is that it is every bit as amazing and beautiful. Still annoys me that you yell 'HA' every single time you swing your sword though.
I'm wracking my brain trying to work out what system announcment would blow my mind if these guys resurrected it. How about a Turbo CD SuperGrafx PC CD? Re-release Rondo, Gouls n' Ghosts, Ys Book 1 2 3 & 4, Gate of Thunder, Monster Lair, Splatter House, the Bonks, and of course Ai Cho Aniki. Yeah, I'd buy that.
We are re- releasing the Saturn and Dreamcast along with pressing the discs for dozens of classic games. No emulation, no FPGA. $250. Oh, sorry. Just dreaaming out loud.
New to Rertoachievements. Sounds very cool and the addition of FPGA systems should shake up the leaderboards. Question: Do you get notified if a friend gets a new acheivment or surpasses you like on Playstation? Achievements feel better when you slam dunk them in your friend's face.
The Metal Slug series has some incredible pixel art. Especially the backgrounds and bosses. The bar is set very high, I look forward to seeing what they come up with for a new game!
A childhood favorite. Mostly because my friends and I only had acess to the few games we each owned and what the corner store had for rent way out in the boonies.
This series is amazing and adorable. The multiple characters look great! Including the panorama stlye stages adds some variety but is it 2 player? Looks like there is room on the upper right for player 2's score.
@Right_Said_Brett No, retro games can look amazing on modern monitors and TVs. Raw sharp pixels and all. It's about enjoying playing games. Anyway you can. No gatekeeping needed.
I remember owning guns for my ps1 and dreamcast way back. So much fun. At what point did Sony and the console gang decide to kill this and why? Love to have a product like this on PS5.
There is something magical and ethereal about the way ICO looks and feels on PS2. When you change the textures this much my brain doesn't have to work as hard to realize what I am seeing into a believable environment. The result, for me at least is far less magical and a lesser experience emotionally.
As cool as it would be to swap out MD carts I've had since childhood I don't see the point if this just rips the rom and uses an emulator to pay the game. May as well just side load everything from a SD card and leave the carts on the shelf. I hope I'm wrong.
If MG4 can escape the PS3 than I see no reason for The Rebirth trilogy or at least CV Rebirth to remain trapped on the Wii. I think CV Rebirth is the last CV game with traditional stages and bosses. None of this metroidvania backtracking silliness.
Actraiser was one on many early SNES games that really tipped the balance in the console wars. As good as the MD was it's sound chip was suddenly sounding very old. I traded my copy and $40 for Street Fighter 2 TWW a week after it was released and immediately became the most popular kid on my street.

'Legally obtained roms' Sir, my PC doesn't even have a disc drive.
Re: Move Over, Alex Kidd! Here's Super Mario Bros. On The Sega Master System
Wow, It looks more like a port of the SNES's All Stars version of SMB. The Master System could really pump out those colors!

My version of MAME is from 2012. No complaints.

Re: The Company Behind Evercade Just Teased A New Console
Wouldn't a more powerful system with higher specs split the evercade game collection? Want to play Nexus games? You're buying a new system.

Re: "I Call It 'Remaster' To Poke Fun At The PS3 Version" - ICO Gets An Unofficial Upgrade On PS2
There is something magical and ethereal about the way ICO looks and feels on PS2.

The result, for me at least is far less magical and a lesser experience emotionally.

Very neat game back in the day. Character sprites look enormous on a modern tv.

If the MD can run Gunstar Heroes it should handle Parodius just fine.

Re: Japanese Fans Are Getting A Ganbare Goemon Collection, And We've Never Been More Jealous
These games are hard yakka. What if the only way Konami could localise these for western release was to us AI to do the work, would that be cool?
