it's playdate week on time extension? not sure why playdate is relly retro except the screen bw look ofcourse, but i'll take it.. lots of excuses to bring the cute yellow machine with me

chumbawumba with tubthumbing is my fifa (98 wc i think) soundtrack

finally able to check this list out thanx too the 3ds emulator release https://www.timeextension.com/news/2024/02/3ds-virtual-boy-emulation-gives-you-3d-without-the-headaches?utm_campaign=promoted-articles&utm_medium=homepage-listing&utm_source=nintendolife.com

oh man, just tried it, mario tennis, so magical 3ds... it is so magical, that mythical system now in the palm of your hand...

Really nissing Apidya here (with swiv and banshee the best shooter) Swos easily the best game overall

Happy with blast corps… one of the truely original n64 games which i havent played for quite some time.. nso n64 controller in the charger to play this when i come home

@L-Sand got it, i really nails the vibe… and the first Tate mode game on the Playdate i own,.. live tate mode, great choice…

Well done

Love shmups and cherish my playdate, so i got this on release (and had some nice interactions with the developer, nice guy)… technical marvel, but have to admit it doesn’t click that much… it’s had from the get go, when my eyes are still getting used to screen… really would benefit from an easy first level…

Playdate is better at ‘playdate’ games i guess… but still worth a try for every owner.. especially when that novice mode comes out..

@L-Sand were you inspired by warioware as the article implies? I remember a paper plane game on my old Mac SE/30.

Ah glider https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glider_(video_game)

Good to see discussion, personally i really don't 'feel' the DKC games... and think they are and always were ugly (yeah the SNES can do pseudo 3d rendered things), for me the n64 games shine i think ... Blast Corps is a true original idea... and diddy kong the best kart racer of the era.. And goldeneye has been very important... ( not really feel the need to play it right now, although n64 shooting is very satisfying)

see of thieves i tried but couldn't really get into... imagine it is fun if you feel like the top dog pirate..

Wow, congrats hamster! rabbits might be famous for their multitude of offspring, but you're the true rodent in the house!

Depends a bit on the game.. I still play Swos because it's simply the best football game every created, and the community is still alive (and keeps sensi up to date)

then you have the discovery part: pc engine because you didn't have it here..

and a bit nostalgia... amigavision on the pocket does that...

Good day to shadow drop smash 64 on NSO!

didn't have an n64 in 1999, but remember buying melee a few years later

wonder if mister also means analogue pocket here.. or in 360 mode

(although my 360 hour stick just works, so that's basically a one stick solution too)

ah on the site they mention analogue pocket dock.... mmmm...

EDF! EDF! EDF! this was the entry that got me into bugshooting, think the first time the game was brought to the west too

Looks nice, but is it really that small? not smaller than my pcoket i think?

Good that you’ve updated this.. i think you’re a bit optimistic.. without the elements it’s not really living up to its promise…, and if you’re looking at 600+ it sort of changes… stilll good they keep improving.. just got a dock for my analogue pocket… seems to fit my use case more, but everybody has different preferences ofcourse…

Lego city. The reason to biy a wiju

@Gerald No Ice Cream No Party! (did play that version way back on my GBA SP 20 years ago).. speedball 2 really is the Amiga middle phase for me, got the game (from a friend, natch) the day i got my A500 in march 1991

And it's there DOJ day!

Does this version contain some background info too? the reason for me to buy the first one was partly the booklet with interviews with toaplan

@Gerald well they didn't have amiga emulation working nicely yet i think, this cart from almost 2 years ago, only recently they added amiga ports...

did buy this cart back then, but luckily now enjoying the amiga version on my aqalogue pocket

@ChromaticDracula i guess it's because i had to use another email address when ordering because somehow my normal one didn't go through when ordering...

@ChromaticDracula aren’t they spamming you with mail? I get all the anouncements twice about 12 hours before they are on time extension… aren’t they in your spam forlder or something?

Think the divisive hing is something of that time, and looked upon from an era of a failed gamecube which changed the perspective..

Mario Kart 64 is quite bad (imho) in hind sind, and this stays as fresh as it was... happy some DD tracks came to the final rounds of the booster pass, just before mk8 closed...

@Serpenterror yes i understand; i'm afraid they seem to have moved on..

@Serpenterror the pocket has some nice 3d printed handels you can buy though .. so might suit you

(for me personnaly i love the form factor but can appreciate it doesn't fit everyone)

Nice. Will firenup the mini tonight then!

ah! I was right (see earlier article) , now I win an Analogue 3D , won't I?

And 3D means the fpga is probably strong enough for lots of 32 bit systems...

Ut i thonk spmething n64

Customer service;)?

I have the retro comteollers for switch so i use them at times. Have an analoguenpocket for the perfect experience ans a miyoo mini plus in my workbag for casual play during commute

Sort of a dream
And a nightmare for a retrosite

Interesting how atari has become all about history now. Just downloaded the atari memorial on switch. Really feels. Good little border in my groups between the jap and the western nso apps. Really nicely done. Tempest 2k remains magical even thouhj tempest 4k is sitting on my switch too

Lovely, but personnally i am happy with my white, not sure if they are competing resources, but their firmware updates are way behind planning, so they should focus on that...

Great that they have production now under control

I read this as if sega was going to reprint them, but alas... still got most of the ones i want,albeit digitally..

Update. It’s here now. Will post little review here next week

Look. I love how nintendo is aware of their heritage, but sometimes every unlockable in every nintendo game revolves around nintendo hardware…

I still hate myself for selling my minish cap special edition

this is brilliant... Shrewsbury people, come to our sensidays world cup!

@romanista Ah, play date is now being sended soonish (batch 4), lets see which arrives earlier

And don’t forget the ds training video game. (For which the password is missing alas. https://youtu.be/-e6xOBCAVvA

that's why i still subscribe to retrogamer, tog et that old magazine feeling somewhere... (and 200 issues means there is some life left in magazines i hope)

@Damo Sure I understand it's a harder to sell 3 million on 31 million than on 102 million, but that is sort of the point Laidbackstrat, isn't.. the relative importance on the loved problem being seen to be far more important than the absolute performance on the gaming market.. ...

Yes. For sure. And it get worse. I recently saw a top 100 of games voted for by amongst others eurogamer and nintendo life and it contained no amiga games at all and barely and other home computer games…

15 years ago sensible world of soccer was still one ‘the most important games of all time’ according to the games fev conference but now https://www.gamesindustry.biz/sensible-world-of-soccer-named-one-of-the-top-10-most-influential-games-of-all-time

Oh and damien pointing out that banjo sold 3 million on a smaller platform is a bit of a logical fallacy. Selling 3 million to gamers did both, so why only one with a famous developer libked to two platform holders should get the attention…

Just received my miyoo plus.. quite nice size too… installed onion os, got amiga working, but the switcher remains a bit fluffy at times… my pocket is far better, but at this size it will just sit in my workbag ready to play…

The apf is the file system? Hoeplully that means quick amiga hdf support

Does is also support double n64 controller support? Loved that on the underestimated robotron 64.

I got it running, and they really beautifully recreated the interface, congrats Adam and friends.... will remain a curiosity though, since although they invented time x 1800, it won't be the same as you simply can switch it off and do something else..

@RetroGames your first sentence is what i thought too, so i was surprise to see some nintendo first party games (smw! ) on the list.. Et Tu, Nintendo?

My ‘favourite’ moment when i finally got gold stars on the cup with bowser castle. I jumped up and the cord between wiimote and nunchuk got stuck in my lamp, taking part of the lamp down…

Ah good news. Alteady liked current cps2 support. Still. Waiting more for ngpc and amiga hdf support
