I don't know, they say 80% but the reality of many emulators is that many games have issues.

The thing is, Next Fest is essentially dead.
Many real indie devs are not going to bring their games to the festival since the risk of decompiling the demo and stealing the game is far too high.
The flood of ***** games could very easily prevented by increasing the game entry fee from 100 to 1000 dollar.

@Mosura I completely agree.
And if you look through the internet how much crap ai brought us and how much good things then it might be a 10000:1 ratio...

this is going to change every indie games marketing cycle.
in the future Demos might not come out before launch at all.

@jygsaw nowadays eveyone can make games even without ai.
it's as easy as drawing something on a white paper.
the technical part is easy but making a good game takes experience and no ai will be able to make this.

I bet this is flopping harder than the philips cdi .

I'm not worried, the game will anyway either never come out or it will be crap since no body cares or knows anything about Ultima anymore.
Garriott should just stop making games and let younger designers make games.

@Bot_Bot_69
Look at the game in motion, this is not going to make any money at all. If making this sort of quality his goal then he would not able to hire anyone for anything.
This has 0 cultural value at all.

And it looks like he used AI heavily... I would never touch this game even if I didn't knew it's AI.

@Quick_Man I think everyone who favors ownership anyways plays on consoles for years now.
And I also believe one of the reasons the Switch was such a success is because it attracted collectors who spend a lot more money on games than normal gamers.

it highly depends how you treat the cartridge.
Most NES cards still work and they are 40 years old

Two questions that haven't been answered in the review.
1) Am I able to play multiplayer (gba) if I have two devices?
2) can I connect it to a tv (like a switch). I know that some of those emulation handhelds are able to.

I wish Nintendo would do an improved gba and re-print some of their gba games (and maybe even make some new ones). the gba was far too short on the market.

I'm very interested in the device but I'm a bit afraid of ordering one since many EU customers reportet that their device was send back because of a lack of paper work or a missing CE seal or something durin the Customs inspection

I'm totally fine with a bit longer waiting times

oh this is kinda disappointing.
first it's too expensive and second the design of the device itself looks like a rip off toy from the 90s...
The two sticks are neat but thats not worth paying 200 for this (yeah I get it ram is expensive but for 200 I expect a device to look premium and not cheap)

seriously I played the first one A LOT with my friends when I was a teenager and I think the game isn't bad at all.
Sure it's not a masterpiece but calling it crap in a box is just BS

maybe it's a hybrid like the switch... since they removed the possibility to connect the Handheld to the tv with the last iteration

hmm I wouldn't find proof by examine the footage but I get AI vibes from this, maybe because many pseudo ai games have the look of this game...
I first want to see more.

This is even more awesome than the bomberman collection... I hope it will one day come to western countries

I wish they would release a version in sd resolution and with a propper new translation

@Martin_H
sorry but thats just not true.
gen Ai is making almost no progress anymore at all. Results won't become much better or at least not in an economic way.
You have to train with soooo much data just to make it a tiny tiny bit better... and I tell you something, since it appears your not that deep in the topic, it's crazy expensive to train those models... actually it's so expensive that many specialists calculated that it cannot be profitable...
It won't go away completely but it will shrink back since a free us is not sustainable.

looks so bad...
After the announcement of christiano ronaldo the game and snk were actually dead to me

Not saying the game looks bad (it actually looks good) BUT if you are so close to the original you have to look better than the original and in this case the game doesn't.
And I really cannot play any game with furries...

his color mods of mega man 4 and mole mania are some of the best if not the best dx mods on the gameboy

comon capcom, what about breath of fire

oh man this is sad...
story wise it's one of the coolest stories and game worlds

So you spend a lot of money for a device that has premium build quality but still only delivers software emulation...
Better buy a Chromatic or an Analogue Pocket... You will get the premium experience.

If the developer has not track record in releasing games, I'm very cautious about it. The video looks too much like there is no game but only this video mockup how the developers imagine the game to look like. Developing an RPG is very expensive. Developing for the SNES is very complicated. Developing an RPG on the SNES also limits your target audience A LOT.

in an artbook ...
unbelievable...
I would feel so disappointed as a buyer

@axelhander its not fearmongering.
look at social media it's full of ai crap... it's so damn full of crap that there is a chance it kills the internet...
no one can think that this is something good for humanity...

great, I mean there is no reason to listen to something that was done by AI.

I actually think it was good for everyone.
Sony transformed gaming in the best possible way with the ps1 and Nintendo had to stop those bad contracts with developers and had to adept.
in my opinion today it's the other way around, now Sony should learn from Nintendo.
Sony was always super creative with their games but that stopped and now we get almost only boring AAA games from them.
I want the ps1 and ps2 Sony back

all that slop is destroying the internet right now. everything is full of it and it's already changing the history, just google for old winmills or medieval marketplaces, its at least 50% AI slop that has nothing to do with reality

Played the mod a bit yesterday and it makes an excellent impression.
Marcs mods are always fantastic

@XiaoShao Same with me.
It felt kinda bland.
If reviews are superb for the latest game I might consider playing it but other wise I skip

it's cool that modretro is bringing old games back but rayman on gbc is just not that good.
Rayman 2 would be the better choice but even that is not a good game.
I'm happy though they remake the soundtrack, the original is hard to endure.

funny that it's now a pizza tower like instead of a wario like.

I love all those DX games. I always replay those games when they have dx versions.

@BausRifle but you see that this is happening to many companies right now? they all have issues and many of them stopped sending to the US. Sounds more like your the sheep in this scenario but it's fine just believe your right and all problems are solved...

In theory great, sadly most games made for old systems are just not very good.
The problem is you cannot make a living with creating old games... it's hard as hell with modern games but the retro audience want mainly play the games they already know from 20 years ago...

edit: reading the comments is sick. guys not every person is horrible. chill...
man the community here is bidder and toxic sometimes...

I'm pretty sure they used even more Ai in those remasters. Many textures where done by gen Ai etc

3 AAA batteries sound rather big...
In theory I love this idea but I'm afraid the device are a bit too big dor a keychain.
I also hope for better games, that aged better.

I don't know why someone would pirate a game that is a retro game... I mean old people like us play those games and they have the money to pay for the game

This happens when you just look at data but don't understand what is actually going on and what players want...
I wonder if a third company is going to try to get a piece of the cake or if it's now just sony and nintendo.

I stopped buying retro games years ago, when people started to buy those games not to play them but to hord them...
some people have like 20 game boys... it makes no sense

would be neat if they would release a roadmap.
I'd like to have save states for games if it is technically possible.

I think he is right. modern gaming feels so much like products and not like pashion.
I also think that games got to complex, not in a game design way but in a "horse balls shrink im the cold" way. who needs all that raytracing and other buzzwords, just make great games...

it's so awesome how well they treat this release.

Man imagine those guys would fully buy nintendo... we might have those idiots in Mario Kart or Smash...
