@damo, think at least the headline needs some editorial.... wata/heritage are not friends of us retrogamers, and ny having the headline like this you normalize these kind of nonsense prices...
Although i agree (@sketcz) there are usecases, i sometimes use my ez flash as well for some same games, since my favourite gba game (guru logic champ, english patched,) lives there, i think you can't really blame analogue for responding like they did, they just updated some stuff and this not the usecase they think is at their core... For the analogue 3d they updated the firmware to support more flashcarts, so who knows.....
played some 98 world cup yersterday on n64, just for the thumbawamba music... but might give this a spin (or winning eleven 6 gamecube, which might be my favourite from that era)
And got my jaguar fixed up to play the jaguard sensi world cup... impressive version
Was playing ddp-dfk only a few days ago: got a new Switcher so i can put my ny second smaller crt in permanent Tate mode, and purpur on both at the same time. Had ddp running on the ps1. Doj on the ps2 en ddpdfk on the 360. And switching between them after every game. Really nice.
plauyed this a bit on the amiga... would be nice on nso with mouse support... might play it today on my analogue pocket (docked with mouse and keyboard / amigavision)
Happy baseball stars 2 is present. And blazing star should be great on my alpha. (And kof 2002 is one of the better years if i remember correctly. ) Oh king of monsters is nice to have too. This cart really makes the evercade neo goe series far kore representative of the console
@WaveBoy as said. Love M2 and their eye for detail. I haven’t played mk legacy since the latest update. Thought they were working on it, so i hoped it would be a bit better by now
Nice, M2 always quality stuff... these garages are a bit less value for money though wuth all thise dlc.... and i have all of toaplan for my evercade alpha now too (a reason for a TATE Alpha!)
mm, shame it doesn't work with ym supergameboy.. when i ordered it (i almost forgot i had done that), that was one of my usecases i liked to try... still it is a nice little device and not that expensive, and with a nice app....
@TrollOfWar no worries. Yeah i saw the announcement last week... No really in the market for more evercade hardware at the moment i think.. i bought my alpha when i heard neo geo was coming since i always wanted a neo arcade... so i'm happy more neo geo carts are coming.... and i decorated my alpha with neo geo stickers.... works really nice...
(and although the aes trickles ofcourse, i play neo geo via fpga on my crt with a nice arcade stick as well ... so I try to refrain myself)
The question is not if they sold more than nintendo, that's just for pundits.. the question is if they made money out of it (for the company) or if it did leave a lasting impression (for the historians)
Thanx for sharing your thoughts @damo...since you probably predicted the reaction, it is at least slightly daring... And personally I think you are never hypocriete if you share the doubts you're having, and there is no consistant moral line... I work on sustainable mobility, but still fly writing about it..
On this specific situation.. it is logical that the saudi economy is diverging..the oil economy is ending in time...and im that way this could be a part of a transition.. but that is an optimistic view..Furthermore this are more business decisions than personally linked to MBS, so that makes it more comparable with buying stuff from China, or indeed the US...
A more cynical view is ofcourse that this is late state capitalism and this just indulges in more stuff we dont really needm while complain8ng about spending money on things we do need as humanity or western world.. but that is a much wider discussion
Yesterday i de ided not to buy this... I connect my analogue pocket via the analogizer, psn snac, psn converter to my x arcade and my crt and though: this self combined solution gives me more satisfaction than a pre made one... Even though it looks nice. ( And the price of those games..)
@Protion9 sort of ironic they stopped producing the of z80 only two years ago and now this
If you look it up most current z80 you can buy seems sort of fpga style... Would like a more in depth are with jotego eg on the difference between asic and fpga... That he contributed to the project does make me want it more
@jamess there are quite a few few new arcade conversion and homebrew games... And ofcourse xenocrisis released for the neogeo the last few years... Now just a an affordable flashcards...
@TrollOfWar yup... Actually when the neo geo cartridges were announced that was the trigger to get an Alpha... Using neo geo cartridges for that collecting and physical vibe... (An aes colorod vs would be nice though but i guess thats probably out of the question now
Still a cool device and analogue got me wat th the 3d in the end too...
@MontyCircus ah thanx ofcourse.. still really surprised that didn'rt include Go, but just Go-moku, while Go was one of the first NES games (which yamauchi famouly tried: https://nintendo.fandom.com/wiki/Go )
@mr_benn really weird,... ms practiclly forced us to change to w11 last year and then they make this... it did work on my laptop though without problems..
my accuracy did improve by 5 points... after the update.. still feels less than just playing on a wii zapper, but it's doable
yes, tried it yesterday.. works well, not for romhacks, but good to adapts games where unleashed overclocking has weird results... would like to have some color diffeences in the librarey to see whuch are my owned actual carts btw... it works well on the the summercart btw..
@sanderson72 @grackler On the sensidays (the world cup of sensible soccer i organized last year) I put up my alpha with sensible soccer... people loved it..and arcade sensi cabinet at last...
@-wc- Yes it really nice, found it at nedgame here in nk, after giving up on the official site.. My excuse was that i now have a m30 downstairs (for on the switch, or saturn on my tablet), and the special one above for my crt consoles (just upgraded my megadrive with a better rgb cable and flash), so i can play earthion with its controller there
welcome back Martyn! I just sorted all my issues, and had that famous number 1 (think they gave it remade after 10 years ors) in my fingers... remember the first being destroyed by Stuart Campbell, who later freelanced on it in the imagine publishing time... but it grew on to be something amazing... how many niche magazines reach this age...
The gba sp was my return to 'current' gaming after just playing my old amiga and losing a bit of interest during studying.. (why I didn't buy a Nintendo 64 during those days I can't imagine)... And selling that Zelda special edition might still being my single stupidest gaming decision...
Anyway.. did get a cheap micro, and now my analogue pocket is my super gba,,,
fav gba games: Wario ware, advance wars, kukukurin, Mario tennis ..
@GravyThief haha, my kids have a similar sentiment when going to an arcade without those ticket producing games... 'what is the point'' different times..
@NoirConceit agree on one site, i don;'t need to have them popping around... but for games you've played so much, this really can give you a new way of playing them... (like sensible soccer using only 1 button for example, amiga style)
actually sold this one unopened, since the ocean blue became available again... that will arrie next month orso... (obv i have the blue analogue 3d).... so many 8 bitdo controllers here now (just got the earthion m30 .. beauty), they mighht have to start a family.,.
It’s mainly wii sport resort i think. Quite curious this happened hust after nintendo suing the us fot those tariffs. But fits in the pattern of the orange dictator trying to mix ai with popular culture and appropriaring it.
