I mean, the kid ain't wrong. Talk about golden age of gaming!

I liked the Amiga rip off oops up mainly because it featured a soundtrack from Snap of oops up.

"Laser gun works on Human enemies"

So good they had to list it twice!

Woah woah, hold on. There's nothing wrong with the stock DC dpad IMO. It was still wonderfully rollable, albeit it could hurt your thumb after prolonged use due to the sharpish edges of the directions. But I could still pull off all moves in CvS no problem, in fact I preferred it to the green goblin stick as I was a home gamer and not an arcade one.

Only problem was the lack of shoulder buttons, using the analog triggers wasnt the best experience for beat em ups.

What a shame, I was looking forward to this one for using with windows based emulators. I still have my 8bitdo M30 which isnt bad though.

@Lowdefal Yeah you're right. I googled more images after I posted that and realised the same lol

Why do Jap computers looks so much more badass than x86 variants. And this design is from the 80 fgs! Honestly, we need a case manufacturer to start looking at Jap pc designs for inspiration. If this was available in x86 with modern specs then I would fully consider getting rid of my pc and get one of these for work and use an hidden egpu tucked away for gaming.

@MontyCircus Yeah agree, think I'll fire this up in Retroarch and stick some shaders on it. It looks so wrong to upscale the polys and still have low res backgrounds.

I must go back and complete the first Dino Crisis, I played like a fraction of it on the PSX back in the day and then got caught up with other games. Which version is considered the best?

They look nice but I dont want to re-learn how to tell the time FGS

If I wasnt already enjoying playing psx games via retroarch I'd be tempted but the Retro crisis shaders combined with BFI Crt shaders on a 32" 240hz OLED means I dont feel like I'm missing out.

Dont come at me with "accurate timing" waffle, I dont care lol

This is like merging the little PSone with a Mega CD. I look forward to the final reveal.

This is the best thing to come out of it IMHO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SI5bkZcgvP0

@poyo_pie Really? Do you honestly think they're strategising that much about it? Could they genuinely just not want their characters to get easy vulgar game mods? I dunno, maybe its 50/50.

Wouldnt surprise me if a buncha incel programmers with low self worth took umbridge with this request and made it their lifes mission to port this unofficially to PC.

Unfortunately asking online perverts to not be perverted is asking for perversion.

Soul calibur on Dreamcast was one of the last games to truly make my jaw (and balls) drop. Incredible home conversion

@KitsuneNight I did! If only I knew about the 9 pin gamepads being comptible sooner I could've played 2 player games FAIRLY instead of one bugger having the joystick and the other bugger using the keyboard.

I became an expert at pulling out Hadokens using the arrow keys via the worst port of SF2 ever.

@John_Deacon TBH when I realised that A) Sega 9 pin controllers worked on Amigas too and B) some developers were starting to develop 2 button gamepad games for it (TWO buttons??!!!) it did blow my tiny pubescent mind!

I was gifted this controller for my Amiga, it wasnt too bad when you got used to it (like most things!)

@ChaseIQ Oh for sure, I dont doubt that one bit. Basically like the MiSTer Multisystem and its ilk

Personally I'm not a fan of the Mister UI so any improvement on that front will pique my interest

I'm a simple guy, I see Final Fight, I click the link.

Jeez Louise, that handheld looks like an unergonomic POC. Who signed off on that hideous looking dpad and button layout?

Do these games play more like ridge racer arcadey style or Grant Turismo simulation style?

Are they sure it wasnt cancelled because it was crap?

Jesus, how hard is it to design a sexy retro console these days?

This isnt an easter egg either BUT I prefer this akira related uncovering: https://thesmartlocal.jp/akira-anime-easter-egg/

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard when you can just buy a dedicated retro handheld for the same sort of price!

@KitsuneNight yes but you then concede not many would want to play PS3 games at 273p res?

Why the hell would you want to play ps3 games at 273p??!! Unless you had the retrotink 4k to upscale it lol?

I only tried SOM around 2012 and even then remember hearing the soundtrack and thinking "Wow!"

I love DnB as much as the next guy but this is not WipEout for me: https://x.com/mitch_murder/status/1842271662257135919/video/2

@GlamorousAlpaca no, I believe it will be circa £349 at least but happy to be proven wrong. I'm more than happy with my atarashai emulations front end with everything setup for bezels and scanline filters (and the occasional BFI) to ever need something like this anyway. 10 years ago I craved original controllers as well but we have amazing usb and wireless options now too.

I doubt this will be cheaper than £299 so will probably still be one for the already converted rather than someone taking a punt out of interest.

I read that as "Claims Arrogant Founder"

I have a white themed office setup and a white M30 controller on my desk now just waiting for this keyboard to show up for it to reside beside . . . . . must reSIST!

Yes the DC is/was an awesome machine and almost like having an arcade in your house . . . . except for the loading times lol. They werent long by any stretch of the imagination (quicker than PS1 and Saturn) but they werent instant like arcades were at the time either.

This is not exciting, this is an example of a slow day at the office.

Wipeout is already a "kart" game in the sense you were trying to win a race whilst trying to scupper those ahead and behind you.

It looked decent but the game was not the best, if only Rockstar would revisit GTA London, they could really show them how its done.

For a split second I thought that image was announcing a Only Fools and Horses walk along shoot em up. Then I realised it was Alan Sugar and not Del boy and he was holding up an amstrad computer and not a machine gun.

Colour me disappointed!

Oh my god, its beautiful . . . . NOT!

Way too slow to capture the magic of the original, its like they're trying to turn it into a generic looking e-sport game.

@Kushan Or because they havent picked themselves up off the floor yet from pi$$ing themselves laughing at this project.

Did Pixelcherryninja ask him who designed the infernal thing? They should be fired immediately, my 5 year old could design something better with Lego ffs.

@Badboykilla187 Sarcasm clearly doesnt travel well online

I love Lego, I love Wipeout so this is a no brainer for me.

The first 2 Tekken games are really simplistic and lack depth, it's not until Tekken 3/Tekken Tag that things get rerally interesting, espeically with parries and side steps. T4 is the black sheep of the family but by no means bad. A lot of fans agree the game peaked around T5/6 but they made for boring tournament games which is why Namco evolved the franchise with the more crowd friendly T7/8.
Similar applies to Virtua Fighter.
Hell, even the first Street Fighter is a load of crap that no one plays seriously so its not just 2d games that have early entries that havent aged well.
Most importantly is that Namco dont believe a collection would sell very well to be worthwhile, otherwise they'd release one. I'm inclined to agree with them tbh.

I suppose an angry old man version of me is thinking "If you'd have supported the bloody consoles, maybe they'd have fared better?" Although it was probably Dreamcast that was needing the support the most.

I can hardly remember any Square Enix games on Sega platforms tbh.
