@RenderSpotlight Yeah, your average crook doesn't know the value of vintage video games, they're looking for firearms, jewelry, TVs, computers, NEW game consoles, etc.- stuff that can be easily pawned for quick cash because they're desperate. You think a small time crook who needs cash now is going to all the trouble of posting stolen cartridges on eBay?
@MegaJ Yes, you are missing something. The updates contain bugs that weren't present before. A patch should fix and add things, not introduce new problems.
The outfits are one thing, but I've read some users that have lost their save files due to crashes. That is unacceptable and I'm hesitant to even open the game until a patch fixes it.
Not surprising. But honestly, I've never been a big fan of the "Over the Rainbow" version of theme, even though it has the connections to the Rainbow Islands name.
Currently some of these (Bad Dudes, Joe & Mac, Two Crude, Wizard Fire, Heavy Barrel, Super BurgerTime) can be found on PS4 under the Retro Classix line. Sadly I doubt there will be any more.
Amazing how much the first few paragraphs relate to my upbringing too. I subscribed to and purchased a bunch of magazines during the '90s- less so during the 2000's. And when I wasn't reading them, I was making my own. Sadly, I no longer have them- I would love to read through them again and see how hack they probably were through adult eyes.
I didn't read GameFan much but I was a subscriber at various points to GamePro, Nintendo Power, Game Players, and PSM, and regularly bought other magazines at my local supermarket and book stores as a kid/teen. The '90s were truly a golden age for game magazines.
I agree with the others who say you should do a follow-up for Game Players, that would be of more interest to me.
I'm impressed that this emulates 32x. Pretty much all of the clone consoles out there don't even try to emulate it. Even though I don't own a lot of 32x games, it will be great to play those games in HD.

Re: Scientific Research Concludes Playing Super Mario 64 Literally Expands Your Brain
I think I read something similar a while back? That navigating 3D spaces in video games is good for the brain or something?

Re: "If I Met Mario, What Would He Be Like?" - Super Mario Bros. Writer On Giving Nintendo's Most Famous Characters A Voice
As iconic as Charles Martinet's Mario is, to me, Lou Albano is the definitive Mario voice. Though Walker Boone was a suitable replacement.
Re: The First-Ever "QUByte ReConnect" Kicks Off Today, Teasing "Exclusive Trailers" & "A Legacy Tech Reveal"
So is One (PS1) not coming out then? It wasn't in the presentation at least.
Psyched for Biomechanical Toy and Thunder Hoop- I've played them on Antstream and they're delightfully insane.

My favorite work of his was Ristar. RIP.

His "Barbon" for the SOR4 soundtrack is probably my favorite of his.
