I can't imagine Nintendo isn't already cooking up some crazy way to play DS and 3DS games on a future console. I'd wager that it'd be through my Nintendo and NSO and you just have to buy a controller with a screen on it.
My problem with them is I learn about games years later that had a LRG release, like The Messenger. I'd love to get one physically but they go for like $600 on eBay. Do they ever do rereleased of old titles?
Also I'd love if there was a way to just "request" a game have a physical release. Or something of the sort. I don't know a lot about manufacturing games but let's say a game like The Messenger, normally during it's limited run cost $40 USD (I have no idea.) I'd be willing to request if for like $70 USD. That would be more helpful in preserving physical games than having a small window only for those who are hard core. I am relatively soft core when it comes to gaming, I never really buy special editions or anything but I do like to own my games.
Does it look really cool, does it make me want to try emulation not quite yet. I still have my WiiU constantly hooked up and my 3DS in my drawer. Good consoles but I'll just stick to OG hardware.
@Thomystic So my problem was that the game already had it's run by the time I find it, are you saying that they will sometimes have another run of the game? Even if it's like years after the release?
@TeamBigRig I've never openly hated on them but there are games that I learn about years later like The Messenger, I got it on sale for like $5 and loved it. So then I think, "I'd love to own this physically!" Then I go and see if it has a physical release and it did but you guessed it limited run! And now it's on eBay for $500. So will I survive? Yes. I'll just never own games I didn't know about ahead of time physically. Unless I find oil in backyard.
Well I loved Triple Trouble 16 bit so I'm down for more from a brand spanking new studio! I did play triple trouble on my lap top but that's the only thing I have on PC so hopefully he can port to switch.
I feel like I ask this on every article about the quarter cabinets, but who is the audience for these? They're super expensive and they don't look very comfortable to actually use. I could see them selling well for maybe $20 or $50 as a desk toy but that's really expensive for something with those specs.
So the evercade seems pretty cool, I'm kind of newer to time extension, but I love retro gaming. ROMs and Emulation kind of freak me out so I always stick to original hardware but are companies licensing their games so evercade can use them? I just don't know all of the legal jargon behind ROMs and emulation, but I am interested in this device.
I watched a play through of it and it looks super polished! I'd love to try it out sometime. I super hope that it gets released, preferably with Segas approval, so I can try it.
Dude I just wish they had a wait-list or something. I think they're neat, I'd like one, but it sounds near impossible to get. They are neat and I'm glad they exist, just wish there was an easier way to get one rather than a black Friday dash.
Super grateful for this article! I'd been looking for an analogue pocket alternative, since they are out of stock and I only want something that can play original carts but with the improved screen. I don't really like modding so really this is exactly what I wanted and it was cheaper than an analogue pocket!

Re: Playing 3DS Games On The Big Screen Is Cool, But It Takes Effort
I can't imagine Nintendo isn't already cooking up some crazy way to play DS and 3DS games on a future console. I'd wager that it'd be through my Nintendo and NSO and you just have to buy a controller with a screen on it.

Re: Unpacking The 64DD, Nintendo's Most Infamous Flop
Whoever has the DD on staff should lend it to Alex over at Nintendo life so he can play his copy Doshin. It's probably make his day. Great article!

So is the physical release going to be for the Genesis, cuz I'd be down to see my Genesis use it's blast processing to show off this game.

Re: Numskull Quarter Arcades - All Available Games And Where To Buy Them
I would like a full size cabinet for that price. I have no idea who the audience is for these little guys.
