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.

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
