@Quick_Man "Acting like the CUPodcast haven't been attacked by Tommy tenfold"
They weren't. Tallarico snubbed them online and they got angry and spent the next eight years complaining about him and the console almost every week on the podcast, to this day.
"[and that Pat and Ian aren't COMPLETELY CORRECT] is really, really funny."
They weren't completely correct. They got things wrong but the mob would like to believe they got everything correct due to their bias.
"And "confirmed to have improved tech"? Confirmed by literally WHO?"
I asked John Alvarado on a stream and he said the tech was going to be updated when the console was released. It is not fan fiction. There is no official confirmation yet however.
Regardless if the system is bought and taken apart to be shown it's outdated tech. The eventual console has been confirmed to have improved tech so right now the Amico sold is very much a prototype. I'm more interested in the new specs.
I find it ironic however @damo continues using the CUPodcast as a source for Amico news when they have not only attacked him numerous times on their podcast but used his work without permission? 🤔
@Daniel36 The complete opposite. The detractors very much want this looked at internally. I think it's pointless but...
@HammerGalladeBro For backgammon she sure is! 😂
@PinballBuzzbro The system does have games and have been shown to work.
@mjparker77 Anyone interested in the console was being called a 'cultist' so that's the age mentality of people obsessed with it I guess. 🤷♂️
Master System wasn't given much of a chance in Japan and the US. Coupled with Sega's poor communication between their regions it's understandable why the user base was small.
@PKDuckman Considering these collections are supposed to educate you can understand how damning and frustrating I find that. I have called them out on this a number of times.
@rob7979 I think all the old ports should be included regardless if they're good or not and yep I agree, the SMS ports are incredible. Not sure what the issue is with emulation on those.
@RejectedAng3L If they have the Mega Drive version I doubt getting the rights to the Saturn version would be an issue. If it's an emulation issue because they don't have an emulator companies like this shouldn't be re-releasing games if they aren't prepared to emulate the various ports. I know that sounds greedy of me to say that but only releasing ports for a collection because you have an emulator for it is very frustrating...hello Digital Eclipse! 😆
@RejectedAng3L It's a real shame as it's a great kart racing game. A collection of ports should really have every port if possible regardless if they're good or bad. The lack of Amiga ports in these collections is really starting to get on my nerves. 🙄
@Tasuki Ubisoft aren't really involved in publishing it.
Colourisation of old photos can work if done correctly however this aren't great examples. The guy is looking at the camera in one photo and not the other. At best it's sloppy, at worst revisionism. Again, nothing wrong with AI but when used things need to be checked!
I hope they keep the cheesy song. Considering the second game was less than half the length of the original a remaster will need to add more plot and gameplay as the original release was way too short. They have an uphill struggle there. 🤔
@Quick_Man I'm glad he's okay, this is good news but that's what I remember him from so apologies. Not as insensitive however as some of the comments above.

Still waiting for them to add the home computer and Master System versions of games to these collections. These aren't really complete collections.
