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.
This type of game really needs a spinner or paddle for players to get the real experience. Two speed digital controls on console don't do it justice. Even using a mouse on MAME is better. Hopefully this will at least be an option on Switch 2.
This is really cool! Looking forward to seeing what gets created by sonic fans. Sega is one of the few publishers who are cool with fanmade sega games.
Looks pretty decent for a 1988 game. I wish it had the ability to lock your fire direction as you move like Shock Troopers. $10 is way too much to charge for a rom this old and basic though. You can buy Neo geo games on PS for that much.
I fired this demo up in an emulator and it looks, plays and sounds really good. It has a nice story that draws you in and gets you unvolved right away. I guess I'm not used to this much hacking and slashing though because I destroyed my thumbs after about an hour. A surprising number of moves available in battle for a two button game! I may return with rapid fire.
Does this work with Dreamcast Emulators? I have the Sega Sports DC and the disk drive is on its last legs and fails to load anything after a few minutes of play.
I'm getting spoiled by the ammount of these systems and the rate they are being released. My first thought was 'can I put every console up to PS1 and N64 on this rig?'.
If you take somone's property and use it to make money without their permission you will be shut down. We seem to be caught in a loop where no one seems to learn this lesson. Would have loved to play this though.
Looks very cool. Interesting style. We seem to never learn though. When it comes to anything related to nintendo you dont announce until you drop it and you dont cover it as news until the download link has been up for a bit. This a bat signal for nintendos legal. Hope it all works out.
This amazing lil guy supports the entire FPGA ecosystem! I've been waiting for an ultimate FPGA choice fro my set up and this just might be it. Little worried about overheating during longer sessions but time will tell.
I'll give it a shot. Getting rid of flicker and slowdown sounds good but 'Rebalanced difficulty' and 'New weapon behavior' sounds like trouble. Ever since that so called quality of life Castlevania 2 hack that allowed you to control Simon's jump (destroying the game) I've been suspisious of these types of hacks. It's really cool that peoiple with the skills are doing these types of game hacks!
This is a really fun game with a 2nd player. The stlye reminds me a lot of Elevator Action Returns, very pixelated but smooth animation. A great title to add to a livingroom collection. Hampster arcade games start at $12 Canadian so i think I'll stick to Mame.
Looks amazing. Love how you can switch between the old graphics and new on the fly. I would say R Type Leo should be next to get this treatment, or Super!
I'm happy to see a legend like Taito preserving their classic games on a collection like this but $40 Canadian for ten roms? Pure greed. I'll stick to MAME. Taito has enough of my money as it is.
The art department likley pulled that game footage straight from Youtube to be seen live in the shot. Easy mix up and only us nerds really noticed. No need to fire anyone over this, lol.
