@NUBiness I appreciate Marvel being faithful to their own canon so much.

File this under "I don't care". It ported the game, it didn't handle the creative side. The backbone is done, now people can perfect it.

@Peteykins If 40 pages per book it's not going to be too costly and needing an extended amount of effort.

@ojisan That's what I mean. A lot of promises without any elaborating.

Most likely PC Engine or Jaguar.

@Reko @BLAZINOAH No way are they doing Mega Drive. Sega would have to have personal involvement and so far they haven't budged a bit on publishing old hardware.

AI or real it was very generic but then a lot of what Sega promise sounds generic without details that make sense.

"and my pick for the best Aliens game (assuming we’re saying Isolation is the best Alien game)."

Not all of us. I find is very overrated. Colonial Marines gets lots of flak but that's more because of the AI. The game is pretty enjoyable anyway.

Yeah because Mega Man isn't fiddly enough on an NES. 🙄

I actually don't see the point of this.

I actually don't see the point of this.

@X68000 Since TE is happy covering the Neo Geo I think they'll at some point mention this.

@joey302 They collaborated with WB on Blood Fresh Supply so it's not impossible.

@Johnny_Arthur Good point.

Those puppets wouldn't last forever. Reminds me what happened to the original movies TMNT animatronic suits.

A remaster would be cool but people would love a sequel as well.

@Johnny_Arthur Rare is still around.

So this would have been like an off shoot of Carmageddon then... 😂

Now if can just get the rights to Amiga. 🤔

I agree it's a shame most of their games were exclusive to Nintendo.

@Poodlestargenerica I got that reference! 😂

It's great they're covering these games but I also think it's important to cover the more obscure games released for the Amiga.

I think there's room for both or maybe they need a bigger company.

I had a feeling it would happen pretty quickly.

I mean he's one to talk! 😂

Always nice to see emulation improved in retro gaming.

@GauBan Yeah I guess we shouldn't rely on one source for news.

@GauBan I mean my point is either cover everything or don't cover anything. But I agree, we can pick and choose what to buy ultimately if we know it exists.

@GauBan Probably. Most companies are problematic but TE doesn't mind covering them.

@aikon82 Yep and that list far extents past SNK and ModRetro. It would make sense just to cover everything.

@MegaJ It's like you've ignored every comment here. It's the lack of consistency that is the issue. 🤦‍♂️

@aikon82 "By doing so you’ve left yourself open to criticism when covering other companies or products with controversial links to states or people."

It's quite a long list of companies by the way.

Sega really need to concentrate on their Master System game IPs like Asterix and Master of Darkness.

@ihaveallthecoins If they bothered publishing homebrew games that would be nice instead of whatever that's supposed to be last week that is supposed to be a MD game.

@Azathoth They literally could have released a Shining Force game had they handled production costs themselves! It's so frustrating. 🤦‍♂️

I'd love to see a current list of IPs they have the rights to now. There must be a lot. 🤔

@KGRAMR That could be tricky but since Nightdive worked with WB before it's possible Atari could purchase Atari Games catalogue.

Fair enough, the revised campaign might do better.

That's a fair compromise.

Great system by the looks of it. Also the ModRetro M64 deserves attention as well. 👍

So you can jump around on the rug shouting "heavy machine gun"? 😆

@h3s I completely agree with all of this.

@Fanboy_Destroyer Exactly all this.

@Tasuki Blaze could be okay if they were nicer to their fans. Personally if you buy Evercade, Neo Geo, ModRetro, anything from any company it's going to go to someone with a shady background. I try not to think about it otherwise I wouldn't purchase anything.

@GordonBennet Well that's good for you but unfortunately everyone isn't in the same position.

@Guru_Larry Ah I love those days. 😂

@SP1SCM I mean I got banned for not liking a random game and coupled with my lack of not owning the products made me a target there. Really, Blaze need to sort out their Discord and stop with the double standards otherwise their negative reputation will continue.

@GordonBennet "and complaining about being banned from a discord is peak sad-person energy."

It is sad person energy because it's completely unacceptable! You expect people to be happy they've been banned???

@SP1SCM No I agree, ideally they shouldn't ban anyone but it takes a couple of disagreements for people in the Discord to complain that I shouldn't be there since I don't own the products and the mods will oblige, in that case it was Pete I think? The fact they do it for people who own the systems and games is unacceptable.

@SP1SCM That sounds like them. I mean from a business point of view I get why they'd ban me since I don't have the money to buy their products but I loved what they do so why get rid of me? It's worse when you take into account they banned a prominent fan, someone who unlike me bought a lot of their products.

It's just not a good look.

@SP1SCM I didn't have the money to buy their products but since I love physical media I was an active cheerleader for them on their Discord. Their own userbase throws their products out of windows but I got a ban for not liking a Tomb Raider game.

What you say is also correct from my point of view. There is at least one person on the Discord who was their biggest supporter financially and he got banned for criticising one of Blaze's decisions. They did that to a hardcore Evercade fan!

@Fallingshadow Damn, thank you, I wasn't more specific. Yes it was Magnetic Fields, I just immediately call the Lotus series a Gremlin IP since they published the games. 😂

@Tasuki Ah okay, I was about to say. I mean I was thinking, "Blaze can be really militant but I wouldn't go that far". 😂

@Deuteros Yeah it would be expensive. Much more than getting a Chupa Chups licence for Zool (same developer).

@Tasuki Since when were Blaze terrorists?

@X68000 Putting politics aside the lack of consistency is unfair and misleading, that's my issue.

@Thad It's fine for you to virtue signal but the same question could be asked of you: where are your morals when it comes to other companies you use?

@Damo "And you seem to think we've taken a hard stance on this issue - we're still going to be covering SNK. We're just taking the time to make sure people are aware of what's happening behind the scenes at the company."

Again, if you took a hard stance on any company with a shady background you wouldn't cover anything. Microsoft, Sega, Nintendo, SNK, Palmer Lucky, they're all the same. As I stated before I'm not sure if it's a lack of knowledge that is leading to this lack of consistency or you're just picking people you don't like for whatever reason. Either way it's not objective reasoning, that's my problem.

I'm anti-Nintendo but I'm a sponge for all this retro gaming history. It's all important information to learn. The Phantom System sounds amazing.

I hope it gets a proper release. Superhero is another lost game I'd like to see get a proper release.

@Zybex242 I mean they are. 🤔

I need to remember this.

My only issue was that SNK wanted consumers to move from the NGP to the NGPC far too fast. Both weren't on the market long enough.
