You know… I’m a huge SNK nut… but for whatever reason, Fatal Fury live action movies don’t sound exciting. Hoping to be surprised.

Just waiting to hear Dural drop an F bomb.

I have an oddly specific memory of renting The Peace Keepers and a bottle of sparkling apple cider exploding in the freezer that night.

@StyrofoamCup my goodness man, are we the same person?? I have the MST3K Forever-a-thong playing every day while I work. That’s one of the other shows that shaped my sense of humor. I can’t help but riff during any movie lol.

I know the N64’s prowess was mainly 3D. But I always wondered what 2D ports of games from Capcom and SNK would be like, since MK Trilogy and even KI Gold were quite nice.

I imagine they’d be much nicer than any SNES port.

As 90s preteen/teen, Red Dwarf was my JAM! I’ll never forget the random late night, my brother and I were watching PBS, and a Season 1 episode came on (Stasis Leak). We were dying with laughter, becoming instant Dwarfers. Quickly scrambled to record any episode that came on. I still go back and watch episodes. Definitely one of the shows that shaped my sense of humor. I probably would’ve bought any video game released haha.

Gamers Nexus is covering this current AI-driven garbage PC market beautifully.

What a disaster it’s become. HORRIBLE time to be interested in purchasing PCs, laptops, or hardware.

@MoriyaMug Funny, that.

We did get 3 SamShos on western consoles. But then again, there’s not as much narrative in fighting games VS RPGs.

EDIT: technically, all the Shodown games made it to the west, but honestly, no one I knew (save for one rich kid in junior high) had an AES.

Ooo, imagining double screen X-Men on that Wide Boy.

@Hexapus haha are we from the same place? There was also another corner store a little farther out from where I lived, near a HS, that had an MVS and Darkstalkers at one point.

@Hexapus I knew ONE rich kid in junior high with a Neo Geo. Played Samurai Shodown at his house once.

Other than that, I did get to play it pretty regularly, thanks to a local corner store having an MVS cab.

@Deuteros “ Next you'll be telling me Super Streetfighter 2 Turbo cannot possibly be converted to the Megadrive, but the SNES can handle Akuma!”

Hey man, don’t say such things around me! I’m the guy that’s been secretly hoping for SSF2 Turbo homebrew ROM on Genesis or SNES for years 😆

I remember the first time playing OG Fatal Fury at a local theatre. Controls felt so stiff compared to SF2 (which was well into Turbo at the time I found this, my first MVS cab), the two plane system confused me, and the CPU was HARD. I was blown away by the character designs. No machines with FF2 ever popped up in my area though, and I wouldn’t be able to play it until it was released for the SNES. Special, I’ve never played at all. And boy was I a fan of the Masami Obari-designed animes! FF/Garou has a special, niche part of my young heart.

@SUPERSEGA-V3 Did you refund everybody that funded your failed project?

That’s pretty dang cool.

That’s how it’s done, Alejandro Martín.

Lolol his solution is PC EMULATION? Ain’t NOBODY trying to buy a custom PC in this dumpster fire of an enthusiast building market. Please please PLEASE, nobody buy this.

Funnily enough, Zelda 2 WAS my first foray into the franchise. Having been used to SMB, it felt sorta natural to play. The first LoZ threw me off quite a bit, as it was my first pure top-down game.

Yo, real quick though, I’m just now finding out that James Mielke of EGM fame writes here!

Hrmm, maybe a proper Neptune with CD drive?

I hope they enhance Samurai Shodown or Super Street Fighter 2 (or maybe some fans will once the Enhancement Engine is public).

I don’t need this. My wife’d obliterate me if I got it. But man do I WANT IT 😅😆

Psycho Dream looks like a game I would’ve rented if there was absolutely nothing else to rent.

Good lord this is tempting. My wife’d kill me, but man is this tempting.

Prince of Persia Universe does what Ubisoft don’t

@Guru_Larry love that this joke will never die 🤣🤣

And here I thought he had fallen into a dumpster full of disposed baby diapers, never to return to us. Ah well, wishful thinking.

Also, buying a highly customized niche PC in THIS dumpster fire of a PC economy? Big nah.

Unless you’re, say, a speed runner, 100% accuracy isn’t all that important. I enjoy retro gaming immensely, and everything out there to do so is more than satisfactory.

@Potimarron did it make you say “sacrebleu!”?

I have memories of hearing “ON THE GREEN!” Also, the awesome soundtrack.

I remember Darkstalkers floored me so much with its fluid animation. I thought I was playing an anime!

@Arcadia_Official I can hear Sean Connery saying this

@no_donatello right?? It was one of my first PS games. Can’t believe we got a TV show before a new entry in the series.

Games that were a huge part of my childhood and helped shape me into the creative I am today. What a tremendous loss. Condolences to his family.

He doesn’t update as often, but Classic Gaming Quarterly/CGQ+ is great, relaxing retro viewing.

Seeing this has me drooling over the future possibilities for the N64 homebrew scene. Man, these programmers are so awesome.

My reaction is that of the old meme where the dudes get up excited and then sit down, nonplussed.

This one caused me some crazy hype when I bumped into it. Anytime someone does something crazy on any 16-bit platform that would’ve been nigh impossible in the 90s, I’m absolutely floored. Really excited to see where this goes and how other devs in the scene will continue to push the limits on the consoles of that era.

Infidelity is a mad man and I’m here for it. Really looking forward to this remake.

I really do wish I knew how to (or had the time to learn to) dev for retro systems. I’d probably work on a 32X SSF2Turbo or something.

David Liu has some of the best art out there, fusing retro and modern styles into anime perfection. Man, if a new AVP ever drops under his art direction, it’s an instant buy for me. Took the bus almost daily to drop soooo many quarters when the original came out.

@Mrtj18 came here to say pretty much the same thing. SSF2T on Sega CD would’ve been huge. It’s a hefty order, but then again someone ported Real Bout to the Genesis, so I imagine it’s not out of the realm of possibility.

@PopetheRev28 I didn’t think it was. I ended up in the same camp as Damien.

Something on FOX kids or WB kids probably would’ve done really well, back in the day.

I love the Sonic Wings series. Just pure shooter fun.

Ah man, brings back memories of LAN sessions at my college’s computer science lab. At one point, it was Sin and StarCraft on heavy rotation.

A Saturn tower of power would have been hilarious.

I wonder if there were any sort of prototype builds of any games for this version of the SNES. Though if there has been, probably got deleted/destroyed.

Whistles 100K seems like a big ask. But all the best to them.

Thank goodness that god-awful World of Warcraft ad was taken down. It kept crashing my mobile browser.

I remember seeing this in EGM and I couldn’t really get hyped since it didn’t do 3D. They really went all in on FMV for this. Surprised not even any 2D fighter arcade ports were released.
