Besides the Budget its also a different Goal both Companies have.
Digital Eclipse is giving the Games a really nice Pakage with lots of Extras (and mostly running under Emulation), meanwhile Gog is patching the Games to make the run (mostly) natively in their original Form.

You can argue about if it necessary to preserve the original Cutscenes with 10 FPS or not, but i would say i prefer that and being able to modificate it myself, rathern than have an altered Version i can't change, as with Final Fantasy VI.

Btw. i like both, best way is something as with Baldurs Gate 1 & 2, you can only buy the enhanced Versions, but under Extras are the original ones.
Would love to see that with other Games, as Monkey Island.

Ah and i remember reading also, that it is difficult to work legally with Modders, also harder to convince the Right Holders with such Stuff.

@KitsuneNight

As bigger a Company, as more paranoic they get to "lose Control" over their IPs.
They want to dictate how you must use their Products.
Games as Baldurs Gate 3 show that DRM does nothing to the Sales, make a good Game and it will sell, you don't need to be paranoic that Customers can burn it to a Million Discs and decorate Rooms with it.

What do you want to reboot in such Games?
Is the Story so intence and wild?

Ah yes, Hulk on the Super Nintendo, got it as a Kid and i would consider it one of the worst Games i own.
There aren't much below, Batman Forever.

Dino Crisis 2 would be great, even if i have the original Disc and the Fan Patch is working since May, i would buy it and be glad that everyone can get it.

Hopefully Publishers will be releasing mode on Gog.
Their Way to sell Games DRM free is the most Customer friendly one and best for future Generations.

@JJtheTexan

Hoped there would be some nice ones from the side, but looking at them, it seems like a lot of work to make them look more fitting.

Maybe these:

Not sure wich Game it is exactly, i am not so much into these

@Bonggon5

They could have used Sprites from Mario RPG, would be more fitting.

@NinChocolate

It is really hit or miss.
The Retrosix ones are generally the better ones.

@BulkSlash

They could also do it as on the GBA, holding down some Buttons to Switch than with the D-Pad.

And yep, Immorpher did a great Work

Take 2 coming with an Armada of Lawyers in 3,2,1...

@Blast16

I have 6 Switch Games from them and one Gameboy and they are just fine and the Products have a very good Quality.
Depending on the Game, it has took more than one Year, but considering that you aren't buying something in Stock, but you are ordering something to produce and it comes from China to the US to Europe, it is pretty ok.

Searching "limited run sücks" is like searching the Earth is flat, you will find what you search.
We would need real Numbers to know how many Issues real exists.

• How many different Games
• What Medium
• Quantity of Production
• How many Complains
• What kind of differen Issues

It doesn't seem AS much for me, for the Amount of Games they have produced overall.
But they seemingly had a bad Decision and Run for D.

To compare i have also other official Reproductions from other Stores and the Quality is not so good.
I tried out some Games from Aliexpress and they were pretty ok, not perfect, but better than some official.
And very lovely, they make it easy to exchange the Batteries.

@AJB83

My SN30 pro has a big lag Issue if i have Audio over Bluetooth.
But i think it is a Problem with the Switch itself, not the Controller, as that one and others work flawlessly on other Systems, be it PC, Mister or else.
And as said, it disappears when i deactivate the Bluetooth Audio.

I think there is a Reason, why it took Nintendo so long to get us the Option of Bluetooth Audio.

It is better if you use the 8Bitdo Dongle to pair it.

@Blast16

Have diffrrent Controllers from 8Bitdo, they are great.
To pair you have to go to the menu were you change who is player 1/2 instead of the pairing menu and press the L/R Buttons.

Nothing that of an issue

The game is much better than i thought, i can recommend giving it a try.

Time to Kill is also very good and fun.
Has a very good variety with its time travel.

Noooo my Thalamus Games!
I can wait, have enough Games XP

This makes no sense, why do you want to stream Games that are between Kilobytes and some Megabytes?
A Subscription, ok, but Streaming?

@RetroGames

Looks like a Game i would never understand why someone likes it, but it is the same "Story* other Pawn Games and Movies also have.

Now i have to think about Sven Bomwollen, you run around as a Sheep trying to f*** as many other Sheepy as possible while avoiding the Shepard.

Or the Pipi Prince, you have to run around, drink beer, pee everywhere and beat up paparazzi.

@jberg
No no, two different ones

Edit:
Here is the official Website

https://catacomb.games/

You can dig a bit more and find out more

The IP is owned by a nice Guy that did release it on Gog.
Also a nice Guy, Arno, did a very good Source Port.
The Game and the successors are very much fun with it, as it adds automatic Fire and a Map.

https://github.com/ArnoAnsems/CatacombGL

@Bonggon5

It is not the exact same sprite, look closer
Maybe it it is inspired, but after all, it is a very 90s Style.

Hm nah it is not worth the space for a recorded Sound Blaster, get the Patch for the Difficulties and play it with the SNES Music, the Music is great.

Idkfa would be worthy for MSU

@gb_nes_gamer

than you played the best, the rest was ok, the last i played on PS3 i would say even boring.

I like the first Donkey Kong Country the most.

Great, a few years ago i bought the OC Games used and did use the Fan Patches to make them run, they absolutely do not without.

So great that they are now available and ready to go on Gog.
Purchased them because i want to see more from Capcom on Gog, Dino Crisis 2 please
Some Devil May Crys and other PS2 Era Games

Would be cool if they would bring their Games to Gog

Great! Better than harvesting original Consoles!

@-wc-

I do it in a yearly basis ;D

To your other Post, yep, it isn't clearly something for everyone to push Creativity and Style can be pleasing or not, even to someone as me, that played EGA Games in the 90s (hey, i had no idea it was old).
Btw. Depression also can bring up Inspiration and Creativity, see van Gogh. (wouldn't recommend it XP)

But Limitations really can bring you to new Ways to do Things.

As an Example, i did a Map in Doom that turn you upside down when stepping into a Teleporter.
How i did it?
I just made the Map twice, one of them upside down, so it teleported you forth and back.

@amongtheworms

Would say we have reached a Point in Time some Years ago, were People did notice that better Graphics aren't better Games and that you can do nice artistic Styles while mimicking older Technology.

Well, even back then i licked SNES Graphics or pre rendered Sprites on PC Games more than early 3D PSX Games.
Just compare Yoshis Island to Tekken

@MysticWangForce

He is the real Star and a Hero, knowing the Background that he knew of his coming Death.

Edit:
Wich of the Games to the Movie was the fun one?
Arcade, PSX or Saturn?
Or was it a patched Version? hmm

@Poodlestargenerica

Yep, i think they mean more something as said Ogre Battle or Advance Wars, so still round based.

edit:

Still interesting

@BulkSlash

oh yes, thats also an Issue.
Passwords as in Wolfenstein 3D would have been at least one Solution.

@KitsuneNight

I guess sadly not, as Doom 64 did enhance the original Engine and allowed Rooms over Rooms.
Well, at least completly.

But maybe someone very ambitious could do a demaster, with new Sprites etc.

Just look at Doom 4

https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/108725-doom-4-vanilla-v32/

As People also reworked the Mega Drive Version, everything is possible

@KitsuneNight

The Super Nintendo Version actually don't has the turned down Levels and is running on its own Engine written by Randy Linden.

But yes, most of the others took the turned down Levels, even the GBA Version.

Most of them are missing the Cyber Demon.

To the SNES Version itself, it is a shame that only the japanese one has Difficulty Setup on later Episodes.
But there is a Patch for Pal and US Versions
Imo it is playable, have seen way worse Games.

Edit: Oh and the Music sounds great on the SNES!

@Steel76

I play Duke Nukem Time to Kill with the 8Bitdo Controller
Maybe they could make a Deal with 8Bitdo and Release an "Evercade" Version as "pro" Controller.

Ahh noo, i am sure they would treated the IP right!

Now the changes are high to get corporate Crap.

Wow, i am on vacations right now, but as i love the Super Nintendo AND Doom, this is a No Brainer to throw on my SD2SNES or Mister.

Hope we will see it appear on the chinese Market
Edit: When it is fully redone

@Daniel36

Yep, it is for enthusiasts, but with such a price drop, it can be also something for people that want a all on one machine and like the idea of having it accutate.

Also a nice alternative to the Analogue Devices (that also use FPGA).

Never tried if i you can plug in a CD Drive or something as the Retrode2, but Adaptors for original Controllers often work and i think i have seen support for drives for something as the C64.

@Spider-Kev

It is an Computer that has a Chip that can "transform" into other Chips.
So it can emulate Consoles and Computer very accurate, as it doesn't uses Software to translate the Code of the Games to another modern Chip.

It is the closes Thing you can get to original Hardware

Nah, don't like it.
But netherless, don't trusting a Reboot.

I am glad that a cheaper Alternative for People is there
I was lucky buying the Mister a few Years ago for 260€.
But as more can have near original fun with Games, as better!

@Bigmanjones

Yeah that sounds very high.
I can't remember seeing it elsewhere in Europe, as i am not from the UK, those 20m had not the a wide reach.

But as it seemingly feels very cheap, maybe the quality really did kill it.

@smoreon

as Games were discribed as Doom Clones and Diablo Clones.
Nothing special making it an Issue.
There was no Didyouknowgaming back then.

Hmm

7,-A°-4'J,t7j#,-7, is not Super Mario Bros?

@NinChocolate

from what i have undestood is, that the low rom programming of the SNES is very similiar to the programming of the NES, probably causing these Ports.

Will test it tomorrow, as they added MSU support.

I am sure the Programer that did this will find a satisfying Peace now

@KitsuneNight

The Mega Drive Collection actually contains the Roms
You can also extract the Roms from the Contra and Castlevania Collections.

Haven't checked the Rest, but you are right, give it out to buy.

I mean also the physical Rereleases, i can dump the Roms myself with those.

@KitsuneNight

yeah, just sell the Roms on Gog or else and let it use it wherever we want, be it on an Everdrive, Emulation or FPGA Device.

@RetroGames

When playing on my GBC that has a LCD Modification, i sometimes wish it would be fat as the original Gameboy, at it is more handy for me

So this could be some Solution to it

@Gamelore

That is absolutely not true, Games as Plok or Jurassic Park on the Super Nintendo hasn't been played through by many because of the lack of a Password System or other Ability to save.
There is no extra Experience in playing Plok again and again from the first Level on.

The "Master Race" of PC Gamers were able to save at any Point whenever they wanted and didn't had a bad Experience.
Many People do themself a Challange by not saving, but everyone is able to play Games as Doom on a own Pace.

As an Adult with less Time, it is often a really great Help to be able to stop a Game at every given Time and just proceed when a Time Window opens.

@gingerbeardman

The Everdrive for the Mega Drive has such Function, i used it to play Daze of Christmas and play every Day a Level for 24 Days.

But the Function can cause Bugs, the Code does in the End interrupt how a Game communicates with the Console.
Some Games did work just fine, some crashed and you can't load the Save State.

@Damo

I could swear that some Everdrives or similiar Modules for the Gameboy do support Save States, haven't tested any out so far, but maybe it is worth a Try for you, to fuse FPGA and Convinience.
If all the Roms are on the Everdrive or on the Emulation Device, shouldn't change anything

Edit:
https://dragonbox.de/en/everdrives-flashcarts/everdrive-gb-x7-rev-c.html

Ah, the most expansive one clearly haha

Edit2
Ah me morron, it has built in Save States on the Analogue.
Was switching to my original one in my Head while writing the comment

Well, would have been a bit suspicious to see them on Ebay

@KitsuneNight

thank you for saving them!

Free all sealed Games! They want to be played and maybe treated with a new Battery! Not rott wrapped in Plastic.

Btw. the Wrapping can damage the Boxes and squeeze them, as they shrink by Time or also damage the Painting.
