Kind of an unpopular opinion, but I'm not a fan of all these Android/Linux/FPGA companies making full-glass-front handheld surfaces lately. Sure, it may make a lot of these devices look more sleak and refined, but after a while using them these become a bit grimy and oily where you hold 'em; it's a bit noticeable at first sight too if you're using a black or darker-tint device.

Pro-tip: always be on the lookout for Asian-version limited editions of games with LRG partnerships on Amazon Japan or similar; same language support and the limited edition's contents are often times the same across versions. This is true for Snow Bros Special 1 and 2, and you might even fetch one of these at far more reasonable pricesm now that they've been out for a while.

@no_donatello If memory serves me right, moon's "Premium Edition" was released by 8-4, a company that afterwards formed the SUPERDELUXE GAMES label in overseas partnership with... Limited Run Games.

So, yeah.

Between projects like this and Ryemanni's fanworks alone (Rayman Redemption, Rayman Redesigner), it's clear how select fans are the only ones willing to put solid effort on the series these days.

I'm surprised the Resident Alice movie series has lasted for as long as it did.

@TW1TCHYGAM3R This might be a blessing in disguise for the patient ones, as people can just wait for months until its price goes down a bit when custom driver support is made. Until then, big spenders for Android gizmos might eye their AYN Thor instead, considering both supported chipsets are already well covered for Turnip driver support.

@N00BiSH I indeed did not, all I needed to see back then were the Steam forum discussions of the Season 1 remaster from other people, commenting post-release about the few lines that were either altered or downright removed. Nothing that a cross-reference between the original season and one or two online-shared playthroughs can also attest, right?

Good for those SBC handheld makers that there's enough of a community-driven push for other more flexible solutions like LineageOS or Linux-based systems like the many Batocera forks out here. Still, what a pity.

At this point, it'd be better if they released an arcade port of Bubble Memories for a change, it rarely gets ported over in comparison to Symphony (last it was featured was in the Egret II Mini's starting games lineup).

@N00BiSH "Wow, that’s a lot. What didn’t you change?"
"The gameplay, the story, the puzzles, the jokes—they’re all as you remember them. (Maybe even better than you remember!)"

Straight out of the horse's mouth, their website's FAQ. Check the Wayback Machine links from 2020 as these lines from their own FAQ was removed. Unless you're trying to distort the facts like them, of course.

Kind of unrelated to the news at hand, but Taito going from Strictly Limited to LRG for limited physical releases feels like going out of the frying pan and into an even larger frying pan...

After how the Skunkape studio's Sam&Max Telltale series remasters had dialog alterations from the originals in spite of them telling over and over that wasn't the case on the first remaster's website, I'm Jack's lack of confidence on a new game for the series becoming a reality. Let alone one that's faithful to the source material.

@Guru_Larry They stated in their Kickstarter that the game drives coming with it are non-upgradable, whether it's the basic Time Crisis or the 4-games one. Plans for more gun color options were discussed as a later release, but no other game plans yet.

I wonder if those will be plug-and-play-ready with Win/Linux PCs though, or even if MiSTer support development will be in the cards from someone else. If not, getting a Sinden gun might be the better alternative for the already-developed scene, even with the jacked-up prices for a pedal and the gun recoil attachment.
