I think RetroRemake will have a job beating Analogue's Super NT. A great bit of kit, the Super NT. There are about a dozen (new and second-hand) Super NTs currently on ebay. They are expensive, but I'd say they're worth it.
As a couple of people have said, it would be surprising if Plaion actually release this on 23rd April 2027. A delayed release of about a year from now seems more likely.
I ordered a The Spectrum collector's edition a week before Plaion announced it was delayed to next year. I'm thinking of cancelling my order for a refund (paid by Paypal, and only covered for 180 days after payment) and placing another order using my credit card, which will mean I have purchase protection for much longer.
I would like to buy a Neo Geo AES+ from Plaion, but they've already delayed it to September next year. I'm going to leave it for some months before I place an order for the AES+.
Unfortunately I paid for this Kickstarter using a debit card (not a credit card), and so I'm well outside the 120-day time limit for requesting a chargeback on my debit card. I opened a credit card account about a year ago when I ordered a C64 Ultimate from Commodore because I had doubts about Commodore fulfilling the order. As it turns out, I needn't have worried, as I did receive my C64 Ultimate. If I have doubts about Kickstarter campaigns in future I will use my credit card.
Does anyone know of any Last Ninja or System 3 groups or forums online? I'd be interested to know the thoughts of other backers of the Kickstarter. I looked on Reddit for a Last Ninja or System 3 group, but I couldn't find one.
Are any other backers of the PS5 Kickstarter concerned that we might never see the product we paid for? I paid £150 for the PS5 Diamond version, and I think that it's looking increasingly likely that this will not be produced, especially given that Sony will cease disc production of games in 15 months. I'm wishing now that I hadn't paid for all that extra tat, and had paid £50 for just the game. At least then all I would have lost would have been £50.
If System 3 are refusing to give PS4, PS5 and Xbox backers refunds, do you think that those of us who backed these versions might be able to go through legal means to get our money back? System 3 is a UK company, isn't it? Would it be possible for backers in the UK to use something like HM Courts & Tribunals Service Money Claim Online service to get System 3 to refund us?
I had a feeling that Analogue would be announcing an N64 console.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the N64 is not capable of RGB output. When I try using my Gamecube RGB SCART cable with my N64, it doesn't work. As far as I can remember, my RGB SCART cable does work with my Super NES.
So, I have to use a non-RGB SCART cable with my N64, and the picture quality on a modern LCD TV is pretty bad. Whereas the Gamecube with RGB SCART on an LCD TV doesn't look anywhere near as bad as the N64 does.
I am therefore certainly planning to buy one of these new consoles. It will be great to be able to play my N64 cartridges without the appalling picture quality.
This does look like a useful device to backup my Gamecube saves safely forever. However, what this article doesn't mention is whether this memory card device works without any problems on the Wii.
I prefer to play my Gamecube games on my Wii, and I have read that official 1019 memory cards can sometimes be corrupted when used on a Wii. That's never happened to me on my Wii, but it concerns me a little. So, before I consider buying this MemCard device, I'd like reassurance that it works fine on a Wii.
