@BLAZINOAH wait, this is a thing??

……I guess the FOMO won’t set in until next year.

That is pretty dang cool.

Gives me hope that someone out there could add Super Turbo features to the SNES port of Super Street Fighter 2.

The way I sorta learned Japanese as a preteen/teen in the 90s is twofold. One was by my local library, a mere block away from my house. The other was renting fansubs of anime from a baseball card and comic shop in town.

Fun fact: Fansub groups back in the 90s were always at each other’s throats, calling each other out during the openings (one time, right in the middle of an episode!)

What a sad way for such a cool (albeit, somewhat niche) franchise to go out.

Cool but also not?

Ehhhh I see these advertised on my FB feed almost daily. If I wanted to play on an LCD, I’d already get something like a retrotink to do so.

Meet him once at a Final Fantasy orchestral performance. A kind, humble gentleman.

Joe & Mac! These were always a good weekend rental.

Earthion is one of my favorite games in recent years… but this stick, IMHO, is fugly as sin.

Suspicious? More like obvious. It’s the “AI anime default style”. Hella generic.

PS3 and Wii are retro? Ow, my back.

Was this good? This was yet another game I always passed up at my rental place.

This is one of those games I always passed up at the rental place.

@damo FYI, the link on First Samurai up above just links back to the front page of TE.

Love the death screen. Ded.

What always stood out to me as odd was the mix of 2D and 3D rendered characters in the game.

When I first played Worms, I was so addicted. Just one of those games that have well-deserved longevity.

Man, this is pretty awesome. It’s got me wishing for the GB Mega Mans in 16-bit form.

Wow, return of the SNES mouse! I was the only one I knew outta my friends with it (I LOVED Mario Paint).

@Martin_H Earthbound, as smelly as it was, was my favorite packaging. Loved Mario Paint as well. Ooo, the Lunar PS1 releases as well. I think I just liked big boxes (and I cannot lie).

I just played the heck out of the Tetris demo it has pre-loaded.

By the time this came out, I was way tired of TMNT. I remember watching the pilot as a kiddo and thinking to myself “meh”.

Kinda cool. Do love seeing original SNES homebrew that involves fighting or brawling genres. I wonder how goes Cadillacs and Dinosaurs or KOF.

This looks great! Wonder if he’ll utilize the RAM expansion pak.

Man, they’re showing it in Austin, the weekend I’m out of town 🙄

@KingMike yep, I remember that from EGM. Made me realllllly hope that it came out stateside.

@-wc- I do! My mom bought one for my little brother!

“Snailiens! Supersonic shell fighters!”

Therein lies the risk/challenge of your patience when it comes to crowdfunding. You’re never really quite sure when your investment will pay off.

Ah, from the era of “abnimals”, wherein everyone was copying TMNT, creating hero groups with rockin’ bods. Even as a preteen, I was VERY surprised it bled into trolls, especially since treasure trolls weren’t that big at that point in time (not at my school, at least).

Kudos for them for not just translating, but also going the extra mile and improving the gameplay when possible. You don’t see that all the time in fan translations.

The absolute garbage nightmare state of buying PC hardware right now and for the foreseeable future.

I’m a purist. I only play Street Blaster III Champion Edition.

RIP to this flawed vision.

I don’t think a modern 3DO console would have the same aesthetic punch as something like, say, the AES+. While I think it had some cool moments in gaming history (namely, bringing nearest-to-arcade quality ports of Super SF2 Turbo and Samurai Shodown), I don’t think it really sticks out in the minds of gamers where they say, “it’d be cool to have a 3DO again!”

I could never really get into AOF3, but this’ll be huge for fans of this entry.

Slipstream has SUCH a beastly soundtrack. The tunes are incredible.

My friends and I were at a Toys R Us on a random evening, and saw it on unit kiosk. It had a 2P and we gave it a go. As we started playing, we were convinced we were in the flippin’ future. My first memory of the game.

@Deuteros reads your browsing history Looks like you frequent illegal file sharing sites, Snake!

I’d sorta understand if, for THAT price, it included a hardcover book that included rare and exclusive production/promotional artwork from the original team along with developer interviews. Chuck in a poster, some stickers, etc.

But nope, just a cheap repro.

I had a friend who did something similar with one of the PS4 (or 3, I forget) Spider-Man games and multiple GameStops.

I remember playing it at a friend’s house for the first time and seriously thinking that I was living in the future. I had never seen something so crisp, colorful, and FAST on a home console (was only used to NES and GB at that point). I miss that games don’t give me that same feeling anymore.

I really don’t like mobile games.

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.
