I think the magazine was trolling. 🤔

My question about ports like this is does it make use of the hardware?

@N00BiSH Isn't that more Nintendo Life? 🤣

@Honkshot Really? I guess a lot of fuss about not much.

@jojobar You more of a David Beckham fan? 🤔

I'm not sure what the benefit of these ports will be but hopefully they take full advantage of the hardwares.

Playing the this game including these levels in two player is not fun.

@fultonbot I mean there was two other M&M games before it.

"IO Interactive Says 007 First Light Is "Completely Different" To The "Fantastic" GoldenEye 007"

Understatement of the decade IO. 😂

@Sketcz I agree on all of this.

@James-Bond Hang on, Might and Magic predates Dungeon Master doesn't it?

At least they're being honest about the issue but yeah their manufacturers messed up.

To be fair you could argue why any of those games deserve to be rated so highly but that's just my opinion...like people scoring Corey in the House so high. 😉

If it's like the Retron 5 it will break out of the box.

@GodlessPreservation It's a unique and interesting adventure game so people think it's very good.

Sega might have got some more brand loyalty from this. They seem to like leaving money on the table. 😆

I look forward to seeing this.

"that Nightdive is doing "the perfect example" of what the company would like to embark on. That is, acquiring IPs, bringing them to an in-house engine, making them work, and then potentially doing a spiritual successor or maybe even a new installment."

Their current remasters of Capcom games has been making a wrapper to allow modern compatibility while providing a few graphics options. I think they have a long way to go before they reach the standard of what Nightdive offers.

@turboxray You didn't ask me that question but I just wanted to say I like console variety and each of the failed systems did something interesting with its software the others didn't. It's difficult for me to mock them as simple failures because there's so much more to them than that.

Well I hope Nintendo don't pounce on this.

I played in depth Shining in the Darkness last year for the first time and wrote a review. The two things that ruin the experience is the lack of map (which is REALLY necessary in this game) and the beginning grinding where you need to spend hours to raise your stats high enough to have a chance in the Level 2 floor. If these things weren't a problem the game would be good fun. It's not a terrible game but it's unnecessarily difficult as a result.

Doesn't look too bad but I can understand the complaints about not allowing the ability to switch between the art styles.

I think Japan should be more open to preservation. He shouldn't have to set up another office outside of the country.

Maybe I'm misremembering but wasn't there footage from Star Trek: Voyager that played on screens at the place?

@KingMike Yeah Australia is weird that way. 😂

Wow, Codemasters really didn't take any prisoners making the cheats a form of DRM. 😲

That's very helpful for the homebrew scene. I hope it gets used more.

This is nice news! 👍

@Coalescence Karl is just a grifter and loves playing 4D chess. 🙄

"so it strikes me as rather silly to effectively remove two of them from active use in this way; the more consoles on the open market, the better it is for people who actually want to, you know, play these things."

Really? It's almost like people want to keep them as a museum piece Damien. 🤦‍♂️

@Ebb1993 Sega it seems don't like reselling their games.

Someone at Bandai Namco needs to hire this guy.

I love these flash carts, I wish I was richer to buy more of them.

I wish their updates added ports to games they originally ignored. 🙄

This is really impressive!

"I seem to remember that I smugly predicted it wasn't up to the challenge, but it appears I need to eat my words,"

The same could be said about a few things, yea. 🤔

@Saki-Endo The US Gold version would have been flawed but alright for the platform.

Good luck trying to get materials from going to VGHF first because as we all know America is the centre of gaming history. 🙄

This is pretty damn good considering it's homebrew. 😲

Looks pretty good!

He didn't technically found the company but he made it what it was by introducing coin operated machines. For that we should be grateful. A true icon in gaming, rest in peace David Rosen.

@Zeebor15 I guess if he has ties or can get the rights to something because he knows someone he'll release it.

Well, the company at this stage can't get any worse so maybe it's for the best.

@GrandmauL ...and got backlash as a company for doing that so well deserved. 👍

@Quick_Man Bluecry is that way dude.

@Eocene84 That's a very left wing viewpoint to take. 😉

@Zeebor15 "Same reason he bought all those FMV games personally, rather than on Embracer's dime"

Some of those FMV games are actually pretty good.

That's great, until you fold it the wrong way and accidently break it. 😆

Isn't that everyone?

@h3s I tended to go to Wimbledon market although there was a few stores here and there I went to that had Master System games like Argos.

@h3s Why weren't you allowed in the shops? Did you have relatives who had low immune systems?

For Mega Drive at least Sega tended to only have high prices for their big titles like Eternal Champions and Streets of Rage 3 going for £50. Power Strike 2 is quite a difficult game to get hold of so I'm not surprised you had trouble finding a copy. Also, The Ninja was never released on card. It was always just a cartridge. It was an earlier title so might explain why it was cheap. I really never expected SMS games to be priced above £39.99.

@Gamecuber Yeah, NES carts are more difficult to find.

@Gamecuber To be fair it's harder to spot them because everyone threw their boxes away so you mainly find carts. Mega Drive games could get pricey from £39.99 to £49.99 but SNES and NES games were general very expensive...for some reason.

@Zeebor15 Sorry I couldn't resist. 😂

I mean I know Damien doesn't want to mention ModRetro but this really sounds like desperation. 😆
