@JaxonH agreed. That is why i don’t agree with thepremise of the article. The 3ds wasn’t yokoi. But yokoi also wasn’t the 2ds. Since there wasn’t too much lateral thinking on that as welll. It would have been a marginal da upgrade

On the article: think it is more about the author than about the 2ds in the end. Sure it looked a bit drab but fulled a niche. That wasn’t really in question then, proven by that they also made a new 2ds.

@Martin_H although i agree with stu at the time and it seemed true during 2012-14, haven’t we be going back to dedicated devices since. The gopros. The handhelds etc. But thet all have to do something the phone doesn’t

@MetalKingShield ha, bit late, but this excactly what they did in the end... love my evercade alpha sf2

love to see the banana joystick for monkey ball, but if you really want to see an arcade getting that japanese vite, you should look at akiba district in utrecht (nl) : https://www.akiba-district.com/

This resulted in me modding every version i could find (DS, Android->Vita) and writing a long reddit post on gravity in monkey ball https://www.reddit.com/r/SuperMonkeyBall/comments/1qeguhi/gravity_responsibility_and_the_long_shadow_of/

(not boob defying gravity)

@damo they are found! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OBT1iwfyl0

I got the vce one after reading so many artiles on the original/ american one. Really tried to get my head around what it would be like. Played it on and off for 10 years or so until i got the 3ds version. (Still want to work at brewster’s again). Most played NH due to the pandemic ofcourse. We srarted with a new island in november. And just got brewster back yesterday. In time for this upsatet

mmm.. as others have said, this sees like a pointless remake, really do feel like putting the nzl story in my evercade alpha tonight.... time to save some kiwi!

ah typical made for tv italian cinema from the nineties.. loveit... (when i was drunk in rome and needed this)

ordered mine a few weeks ago.. it was this or the analogue 3d, and in the end decided to go for this, mainly since it can play saturn... (if al those funtastic colors were sold out it might have been different

nice games indeed.. think our Atari CEO has modded his Wii/3ds;)

@jobvd sure. But in alovely new hardware kind of way..

It might be the best retro hardware if 2025, but hopefully i just threw in my lot with the best hardwarwof 2026, the superstation…

update: mauro has [published a christmas special beta @damo

Still have the manual to the first amiga F1GP, it is so nice like a complete introduction into the sport, with all the circuits etc...

Loved the original, but great game to have on switch (2)... pick up and race!

Good channels, magazines are a good subject... would love an amiga power ofcourse (although i know most of it by now), think i only once flickered to EGM in the end of the C64 era ore something and found it quite 'textfree' with mini reviews and stuff, but I'll watch it to see if i am wrong

damn, been reading him for so many years... hugs to all involved

haha, nearing 1000000 in pounds .. it's a french project.. in euros we've surpassed it already;)

@flojomojo on the pocket they added an update so you could read the sd card by just connecting you device to you laptop, so i guess it is that (and the would sort @whiteumbrella 's problem with the sd card too)

the Suzo "the arcade" was our dutch pride, best one button joystick ever made

@mjparker77 yup i get your point. I prefer playing some of those on the switch as well. Have my old switch 1 sitting next to it on my standing desk. So DOJ there in tate mode. And I play Futari (just bought this one) on my xbox 360 in the loft on a crt... But still love this for the format.... (and they somehow trickly some collectors gen in me, i even ordered the rare cart now, don't really like those early games)

@Moroboshi876 yup, for me this release has been surpassed by having more than enough snow now on my evercade alpha..... my toaplan machine

@mjparker77 did a quick search recently, but couldnt find it.. did buy the laggy AstroV, which is not as bad as they say, to have some Tate.. but the evercade is far more a serious game machine for me, play it almost every day, because i have it on a tactical spot... just a little quick arcade moment...

@damo, you refer when talking about the Dpad to the role of the XB360 as 3D action titles, but for me it is mainly s Shmup -conversion machine at the moment (e.g. Futari is only there), combined with a sega arcade (Outrun 2, Daytona, Afterburner, Climax) how does this controller hold up for this use case...?

(currently using my old 360 controller via a usb part of old charge kit, batteries don'f fit anymore and a hori fight stick ex2)

@mjparker77 looked for a egret mini II but don't think you cna easily buy them at the moment ... do love my evercade, nice and sturdy... and doesn't the egret have the same screen size as the Sega Astro city V, this is almost twice as big..

Love my alphha SF2, even put a new ballstick on it.. for me the perfect little desk arcade... (i have a standing desk).. just waiting for a tate alpha now

@sketcz (only now realisse you're john from japanese gaming books0, if you really want bloodsport come to londen this weekend, a bloody swos tournament! london calling VIII

I always thought metal slug would be the logical 'hidden' game, if you would enter both nr 1. and nr 2. and they have the rights anyway (it being on the pocket).. but i guess that was just a dream

garou is certainlyu my favourite classic fighting game, so having that game on my alpha is really on of the reasons to get it in the first place...

Still, enough fighters now after nr 3... time for some other neo geo classics on nr 4... maybe a sports edition with neo turf and baseball superstars

@Sketcz yeah you’reright. The square is below the gearbox. Do you have prtector as well. The red squares at the top seem to be mismatched as well.

@Sketcz i akready hed rip off (original), and now got minestorm (since you gotta have that), protector (own the homebrew cartride) and tour de france.. (noit such a great game, but so interesting that they made such a niche game for it then, this was pre greg lemond, pre armstrom, and i like its rendition of the marseillaise)

@whitespy12 nice, my house is a bit train-themed with some nice maps, so i'll be playing that on my alpha next month thinking about your experience

@ChromaticDracula if you want that the OG evercade does that. Current evercades make you choose. Exp for handheld. Vs for tv. Alpha for its own little arcade paradise

@Sketcz thanx, now ordered 3.. saved me a few quid

(and had some contact with the reseller; you have to go to ebay.co.uk for this discount, was his quick response)

@Sketcz thanx, I just remember sean kelyl the cyclist;); but this really nice, even for some of the homebrew ones (probotector) will shop there!

Edit: but damnn, the shipping costs....

@Crabbitsteve those are quite pricy though, esp with games... I love my real vectrex, even got some basic multigame thing for it, but got this one (founder's edition, yeah, nr 79) for the overlays and it's general cuteness

What i would like a kickstarter for is a reprint of all the original overlays..

I am playing fighting vipers in the arcades in jacuza!

Nice to hear, enjoying this game a lot..(and it's soundtrack) does that stick also work on the switch (in the original stick review there's something about an adapter?

(i get why you put radiant silvergun in the top, but isn't sin and punishment more relevant here as fellow rail shooter)

Nothimg in the trailer on what systems they are going to use? Will it will be better than my analogue
Pocket with amagovsvision then?

@gingerbeardman for what's worth, just bought it, and it did gave me an adrenaline rush the original never gave me..I bought the operation wolf / nightstriker port of M2 in august

(and support M2!)

Update: Wow that soundtrack
Update 2: Do see that the original goest 6 layers deep, this one only 4

@Martin_H thanx.. btw i do hace a few of those ios ports which are nice, but so dissapointing they were never update for controllers (and have an icade, that would have been amazing too)

now trying to find futari on ebay;)

Nice little thursday surprise. And cheap too

@Martin_H is there a futari port on 360? My 360 is jow linked up to a crt and enjoying a bit of a renaissance.

@PopetheRev28 i told you tou have a poont. But i remember trying to get battle garegga…(still on playasia though i see. Tempted)

@PopetheRev28 although you have a point, quite a few of them are not on the european store..

Ah finally highscores.. will have to work now!

Not really care about those old atari games, although i lioke the spinner (and nice to have the atari collection on switch)

maybe good to mentions you can also emulate lynx @damo , since with it you can relive the atari portable experience

The jaleco/piko group is interesting in the sense that evercade also has some carts out, and some evercade licenses are running out.. wondering if that means myarcade has taken those over, and the other way around, if this means hope that evercade will get an out run cart (my arcade will release a micro outrun cab next month)

@Shaw_Brothers premium is only ne gun, ultimate is two guns (but I guess your questions remains: shouldn't the ultimate edition have two pedals)

not sure what a preorder means when there has been a kickstarter. ... but i guess they now ordered more then what they have already sold.... wonder when i will get mine (kickstarted 3 months ago)... feel like some timecrisis now.
