Mmm i had just decided not to buy this, since i just preordered the neo geo one (and roguecraft dx), and have windjammers on the switch, but this go me doubting again...
i mainly play evercade on the alpha though, and then an only 2 player game probably won't get played that much...
(and only a few other games... kind of suprised by the score TBH)
Nice article, and the nomad is a nice system too, but in october 1995 the megadrive didn't feel like a current platform at all... since EDGE launched in 1993 everybody mind were shifting...
@gojiguy it has the toaplan carts with nice smup.. no rotating screen, but the 8 inch screen works quite nice for vertical shmups, e.g... the playable part is bigger than the sega mini V 's Tate screen .. I love playing batsugun on my alpha..
@Razieluigi indeed, used the gb camera two weeks ago to get pictures of my birthday party guests.. was a bit disappointed that could do anything on the pocket with it... still screenshot after editing in software gives f good quality..
I expect a neo geo alpha. Sonce i recently bought a sf2 alfa sort of double feeling. But on the other hand. Bought it discounted and when i head a neo geo cart was coming.
I want them to release lots of marquees to decorate the alpha
I expect some more neo geo. Some more amiga carts (i hope for an amiga sensible cart. But i guess).
I would probaly buy anything amiga and most arcade. Hope that they don’t delay stuff again
Team 17 made technically impressive games, but gameplay they were never that well designed, which shows now, still, quite happy i got this collection for my birrthday, since alien breed on the alpha is nice... I need an apidya kart (not team 17, but republished a few years after the og release)
oh nice, when i heard abouth the neo geo kart i bought a discounted alpha... hopefully they'll announce some more...
(probaboy an neo geo themed alpha as well, which will make me jealous but hey .. i had a nice discount...... might by a Tate one though)
And i would like them to free some of the games which are in those hypermega ones... i have an og, and lots of handhelds so I try to resist buying those... but a nice taito collection...
(and the Amiga Sensible Collection, but I guess that will remain a dream.. Apidya on a german amiga collection (turrican!) maybe like delphine's french one? apidya also might be on a second team17 cart since they republished it a few years later, but (un popular opinion) most team17 software isn't that good gameplaywise , just technically)
I understand his point, but he sort of misses what Bullet hell is..
they might look more difficult , but often aren't (as argued above)
90s shmups are more difficult
but I agree with him that shmups have an accessability image problem, and while e.g. M2 make some new modes which increase accessability, the are packed into something only the inside crowd will buy (ddp doj, with lots of japanese for example, eventhough it has nice bit sized missions and a beginner mode added)
maybe a shmup based on a well known franchise would help? would love an astrobot shmup e.g.
soundtrack I lovely, I would like to have the rom (for the analogue) and the switch version... but we'll ee what they offer (would love the md version, but I guess that will be very expensive, (and lrg...))
nice, does open some new games for me to try... the delphine collection seemed unplayable to me before this.. (but i woinder if i would actually play it like this,,, a mouse in my Alpha? than other ways toi playt it seem more covenient
Mmmm... good they want to consult the public, but it is a bit of a catch 22,.. if I knew what I wanted, I probably would I already play it or seen it... , but I haven't because they're not translate.. so decided not to vote...
on weird NEC stuff.. check machine nacho new vid btw on the weird sharp/pc-engine hybrid pc x1 twin
@PKDuckman yes indeed, i sometimes watch jobstm since his series on WADA was quite interesting, but from what i heard it was indee dabout cheating (which would have been quite ridiculous, since there is so much on mitchell's (alleged) cheating already... butsuicide is a whole other ballgame
@-wc- bit late reply but i just bought a discounted evercade alpha.. (lovely device), but you can also give player one a controller, therefore making it equal again..
@koopathegamer lots of evercade games are home computer games (c64, amiga), which were joystick based as well... spend a nice hour playing speedball 2 yesterday.. of and I have an evercade VS as well, but the experience of playing it in arcade mode is the reason i bought this... lots of way to enjoy games on the telly with arcade stick... i use my analogue pocket docket for that...
nicdee, this actually motivated me to buy a discounted evercade alpha and get that cartridge 9even though i have about a million play to play metal slug now
Since it is M2 I will probably buy it, still, it really is a mystery why Gradius V isn't ported to anything yet... I luckily have the ps2 version, and it still looks amazing, but so many Konami collections out there, and so many ports of ikaruga (and recently radiant silver gun)
Saw a video about this earlier today, nice idea.. but the fitness is useless without someform of externe syncing, and only 4 games...... you would be bored of it within a week
