Have the japanese team, felt like little magic... bit overtaken by warioware because that incorpates most of its games with- more modes.. will put it my analogue pocket tonight just to admire its box..
@AJB83 well we can debate over revolutionizing in semantics but for me it has gove new dxcitement to the scene with a new approach.
And agreed the the miyoo mini eg is so user friendly now for Most things, but for other rhong eg amiga emulation (i play in the world cup of sensible soccer where timing is every thing) fpga makes a hell of a difference.
Love my software emulation solutions but now excited every week when i see the jotego updatss..
Does anbernic just checks miyoo's website and tries to copy their ideas? (and how many more models do we need of this kind of thing.. my miyoo mini plus feels sort of perfect tbh)
ah remember those games, would love to play some alpine skier again... And always interesting to see thsat japanese games industry is more mature that lots of gamer think...
@Poodlestargenerica yeah that's what i was thinking too.. i already have gb advance wars in my libreary..
still mostly for the curiosity,, they seem to miss the flow of the advance games..and it is slow...maybe should put it on turbo on my miyoo or something
@mystman12 maybe but they won't, i would like a tg16 adapter, but not the rest, and now i won't be buying anything (although i was trying to make a dead with another dutch man to share some costs..)
@gingerbeardman that's true.. i'm ok with buying it, sorry to have sounded to sour... just wondering how to place these reviews in a bigger picture.. (and how much i can trust it as a buyers guide)
@gingerbeardman interesting to read this... this seems indeeed like the ideal situation... (btw buy Matt's games, they're great!)
@damien is this site becoming a playdate paltform? kind of notsure what to think of the reviews now, bogutht the tetris clone yesterday (okay but nothing special) and began to wonder why it was covered.. it seems every playdate game gets a 9 here now, and it makes it difficult to choose
1. interesting to play llamatron as a twin stick shooter, completely changes the dynamic (far easier but still)... play the amiga version on my pocket at times...the amiga is basically ignored it seems btw,, 2. indeed dissapointed in missing his later work, since there are some interesting questions to be answertd, and i would have loved space giraffe on the switch (i already had tempest 2k , after atari age) 3. but happy to be able to play the Multisystem...
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
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
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..
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..
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 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…
@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
@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...
