@RetroGames agreed, proves raw power isn't everything. Its about time today's devs realised this fact. I love the fact these wonderful retro consoles are still getting new games & being pushed to new limits. I'm a big fan of C64 the new games & demos are incredible on this timless micro.
@KitsuneNight yes it's weird your here, but hey each to there own. I love retro gaming, prefer to have original tech & carts obviously games like this won't be on physical.
Personally the Saturn is a beast, definitely the better system. Unfortunately Sony had the industry eating out of its hands. Even before launch, so obviously the PS1 was the lead platform. Therefore Sega was on the backfoot, maybe the Saturn was more complex, but the likes of Sega rally, VF2, Radiant silvergun showed the power when utilised properly.
Just give me the Megadrive version already. It looks incredible enough for me. Oh and I'll end buying the steam deck version so I can hook it up to my Atgames legends cab.
The rubber keyed wonder indeed, mines turned up today. I love it, yes you had to be there to really appreciate this little micro. But if you know you know.
Good things come to those who wait, looks incredible. Will be interesting to see when in 2025 it gets released. Especially with SLG in control, probably preorders in Feb, released next Xmas lol π
Would be great to see new games developed for this tech. Hell new games in general would be welcome on Snes. It's about time it had the love like the Megadrive.
What a joke and they moan about emulation!! The gaming industry deserves to be preserved, just like any other medium. Look at the archives film & TV have. Later generations will more than likely love to play games from the past. It should be there to be enjoyed & celebrated. Not just cast aside like rubbish. That's why arcade machines are cherished now & restored. Operators would just dump them when they no longer made money. I expect many wish they would of looked after them now lol. Long live emulation!!!
What a game, love it, have it on my Mame setup. If your into side scrolling beat em ups you'll love this. Fast action, great characters, brilliant sound!! Definitely a hidden gem from Konami that most probably don't know existed.
@turboxray yes i know i had one, i also have a Duo R with the arcade card. Probably been more easier to make a conversion of Magician lord for this setup. Considered not many own a SuperGrafx, yes the Grafx has a bit more grunt granted. But a standard arcade card version for Duo owners would be better.
Love the Vectrex, definitely the coolest & unique bit of retro tech out there. Such a friving indie scene. I bought a new game for mine last year called Vyrzon it's absolutely brilliant.
@KitsuneNight totally agree, thank God I can still play all the quality retro games. Today's gaming is mostly ***** really. If it's not open world soulslike no one gives a toss. Personally I'm enjoying Astrobot on PS5 it's stunning. Yet sales are dire in Japan & UK. If this fails the hope of anything similar won't happen. And regards to PS3 I still have mine, how easy is the SSD install?
@KitsuneNight yes I agree, personally the industry is in a ***** mess thanks to all the tech obsessed idiots. Always banging on about 4k 60fps raytracing, just enjoy the damn games. The PS5 pro is the result!! Consolea should be consoles, if they want that much tech buy a pc. I'm looking forward to what Nintendo deliver next to be honest, again they aren't worried about bleeding edge tech, just amazing games. All this aside that's why I retro game the most.
Yeah and looked what happened to that, the Snes & Megadrive still kicked its ass. Not on tech but games & that's why we buy folks. This mid cycle upgrade is a joke!! The true console model was/is an affordable system, nice tech, maxed out by devs in a 5 to 6 year span. If I wanted a damn pc I would buy one. Personally the industry needs to crash!! From all this corporate greed.
Can't believe no company has made an actual motorcycle handle bar setup. It's always the steering wheels that are damn everywhere. Surely a hole in the market somewhere. Bring back the Konix multisystem that system would of been revolutionary for the home market.
@Robocod yes I have the the Last Ninja games on emulation unfortunately they cut out all the loading. Which is good & bad. I wasn't sure either that System 3 still existed. I'm sure years ago they promised more Ninja games but they never materialised, unless I missed em lol.

Re: Triple Impact Is A Promising New SNES Beat 'Em Up
@RetroGames let's hope so, the Snes deserves some amazing new games.
Re: Neo Geo Classic Magician Lord Gets Tentative Fan Port To NEC SuperGrafx
Definitely looks brilliant, the only thing that will let it down will be the sound. The music in the Neo game is the stand out part.
