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
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.
@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.
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...
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.
@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...
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
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.
@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...
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
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 sucks how social media is already flooded with that crap. Without artist there is no culture. I wonder if AI pros are going to realize at one point that they consume crap.
@MSaturn when have you checked the last time any online store? they are flooded with crappy ai art. I would not touch any game with ai art key artworks. it just shows that the developer do not care for the quality of their product or do not trust in it, so why should I trust in it.
@axelhander but why donl you think a title card is not important at all? There is some great culture in vinyl album covers as well as in game covers. there are even books about it. I would never buy a game with obvious made AI art.
@SlangWon Sorry I don't want to offend you but please think a little bit further. Do we have a lack of quantity in video games? no, the opposite is the case. do we need more poorly made crap AI made games? for sure not.
Ai can be useful I agree but it's not on the same level as professionals.
Also it's theft. stop pretending like it isn't. I really don't know how anyone can promote it who is not the owner of a big multi million dollar company. What will you, as a consumer, have from AI? cheaply and quickly made worse content. do we really have an issue of quantity of content? can you play and watch all the games, shows and movies you like? so why do you want more but worse ones? And who benefits from having AI? only shareholder and owners of big companies, everyone else loses.
Haha I played the german version back then... I played it, beat it and loved the game but I did that once and then I importet the american one, which is at least a lot better than the german version . Still one of my top games of all time
as someone who comes from europe I also think sometimes the US regulations are super weird... So violence is absolutely ok but showing a little bit too much skin means the title gets an 18 ranking? Thats crazy to me.
I think the vision always was that she is hot... she isn't anymore and the reason for that is likely the screaming minirity that it's not ok anymore for women in media to look good.
even though I love Mario Kart, I always thought this was the Mario Kart 64 killer. The Adventure Mode was so cool (something I always wanted for Mario Kart). Also the design of the Tracks were so much better than the one from Mario Kart (So many cool obstacles, hidden pathes etc)
@HammerGalladeBro Ok your right, maybe I should change my wording a bit. I think it is ok if you play the games. If you cannot play the games because of the language barrier, it makes no sense in my opinion. I saw many people in youtube videos with games like Dragon Quest for NES.
To be really honest here, I think it makes zero sense if you go to japan to buy retro games there, that you can never play because, lets be realistic, most people do not speak japanese or can't read it. so instead of hording that stuff, let japanese people enjoy it other wise it will rotting in your shelf...
