The original Edgelord. I'm surprised he didn't sue Vince McMahon and Adam Copeland too.

Looking forward to Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound.

I might pick up this since the prices for the Retro-Bit and original versions are crazy.

I love the PSP. It's the closet thing to a portable Dreamcast and I started collecting for it back in 2011. A unfairly underrated little handheld. If only I could get my hands on Outrun 2006 for it?

That's actually really good. Well done and keep it up I would say.

Waiting for my Game Boy copy.

If I had one early, I would choose to go along with RGL's request as an act of courtesy and sign of respect.

I'm more interested in the story that one DQ fanboy stabbed another DQ fanboy because the latter claimed that VII or VIII was better than VI.

Stunning! What format is this for?

I have these on my Mega Sg. I hope we got a Life on Earth/Legend of the Four Winds dual cart next.

We also all know another certain influrence on the original F-Zero, especially Captain Falcon and his Falcon Punch in particular. A certain dead man (no, not THAT one) that has countless 'issues', notably with costumed vigilantes and deadly ETs.

@JonathanChapman Why do you assume that he's being a jerk? He's already doing us all a favour by creating DuckStation and allowing other to contribute towards it. If anything, it's others behaving like jerks that have forced him into this stance. This is why we can't have nice things and why the world is in the absolute state that it is currently in.

About time that Analogue had some competition.

This could be a Mega Sg killer in the making, especially as Analogue no longer manufactures them. Definitely a machine to keep an eye on.

I've received no word yet on the copy I pre-ordered from Strictly Limited Games.

Finally! I'm looking forward to this.

What a stupid name. This will only confuse people and harm the FPGA niche and sour people on Pis.

This WILL backfire on Nintendo eventually.

Why was there no version for the TurboGrafx/PC Engine back in the day? This would have been a perfect fit for the console and likely one of it's best Hu Cards. Someone needs to do a homebrew port of Rod Land for the TG16/PCE. Combine the 6502 code from the NES version with the graphics of the Amiga release and have it run at 7MHz instead or 1.80Mhz mode.

Yes, I realise it's easier said than done...

Yet more proof that video game giants like Microsoft do not have the best interests of their customer base and gamers in general at heart. No wondering the industry is currently crashing.

No wonder Bret "Hit Man" Hart was so randy behing his first wife Juile's back!

I prefer FPGA hardware emulation, but there is definitely a firm place for software emulation. If anything the growth of FPGA usage will only compel greater (cycle) accuracy from software emulators.

@Przemyslaw How do you know that Kana-chan (Asuka) hasn't already made a significant donation of one kind or another? Don't be a twit.

I'm looking forward to receiving this soon.

I'm sticking with the original EXP.

I sense that MARS is going the way of the Coleco Chameleon, Intellivision Amico and AEW. Not good, and I hope I'm wrong about that.

@BitmapBureau Looking forward to you taking new orders again soon.

Speaking of homebrew Mega Drive-to-SNES ports, I'd love it if Kai Magazine Software or a officially licensed third party would bring games such as Life On Earth over to the SNES.

Very sad news. We can only hope that the passage of time will sufficiently heal these wounds. I will give credit to Pixel Cherry Ninja for his attempt to set things right, but I respect Pramod Somashekar's work and his decision to walk away.

Whatever Pixel Cherry Ninja may have done, I hope he won't be bullied and cancelled by the rest of community because of this episode. Besides, I doubt it would bring Somashekar back into the fold anyway.

@Zeebor15 have you even read the full article?

Naka-san might be a narcissist, but he hasn't murdered and sexual violated anyone. Also, just because someone pleads guilty to a crime doesn't actually mean they committed a crime. Countless innocent people plead guilty because they have no faith in the corrupt "criminal justice system" and would only get a disproportionately higher sentence if they plead innocence in the dock.

As for Naka-san, I keep an open mind as to whether he actually committed crime or not. Otherwise I think Naka is a talented programmer with an arrogant, petty narcissistic streak and many racist attitudes to most (not all) non-Japanese.

Can't wait for a version of this for the Super NES Extension Port.

I have high hopes for this.

This is why we can't have nice things anymore.

CDRomance is a great resource for both ROM preservation and hacks. As I have said before on both YouTube and NintendoLife, if purchase no longer guarantees ownership (I'm looking at YOU Sony), then piracy is no longer theft. I have zero problem with the distribution (for free though, not for profit) of ROMs for discontinued gaming platforms. Pirating ACTIVE gaming platforms like Gary Bowser was involved in is obviously not okay.

I'm intrigued! Thank you for this very useful and informative article. Might be worth looking through eBay...

Thank goodness for having a few Analogue Super Nts in my possession. Perhaps another Change.org petition is needed for Analogue to release an upgraded Super Nt like they did with the Nt Mini Noir.

Any future drop-in replacements for the S-CPU and 01CHIP processors will be a mix of ASIC and FPGA. I can see alot of ASICs from clone consoles such as the Super Players being harvested for use. This might even lead to a boost of Super Players being sold.

I actually noticed this about two weeks ago when I was searching for Super Real Darwin. I suppose we should give online content creator Kim Justice the credit for helping bring this delisting of Data East games to our attention as their recent video on 1980s Data East coin-ops has created a renewed interest their back catalogue.

Atari have learnt nothing from the Infogrames days. How can they afford all these acquisitions? Weren't they in financial trouble within the last few years?

@wiiware The Analogue 3D is unlikely to be able to run a Dreamcast core. Look out for the Analogue Dc sometime in the early 2030s.

A few points I'd like to make:

1) I believe you have to install alternative firmware from the 8bitdo website to get their 2.4g and bluetooth pads to work on the Duo.

2) Some people have complained about the colour of the JPN model of the Duo not being "HuWhite" enough (racist?) compared to the mock up images on the Analogue website. I personally don't mind the cream complexion as it's still faithful to the original PC Engine console. I also suspect that Analogue also chose cream to try and mitigate against the ABS plastic yellowing in the future. It could also be a side-effect of adding a textured finish to the plastic as what happened with the transparent Super Nt. Whatever the case, the cream white unit is excellent. That being said, I would have prefer if Analogue had released an off-blue Duo unit based on the colour of the Duo-RX console.

3) 8bitdo/Christopher Taber should have based their wireless Turbo Pads on the 6-button controllers like the Avenue Pad 6 or Hori Fighting Commander PC instead of the bog standard two-button versions.

4) The Analogue Duo is definitely a deep cut hardcore system for the serious retro gamer (at least in the West). If you just want to dip your toe into the world NEC gaming, you'd be better starting off with one of the branded Mini consoles or Analogue Pocket instead. The Analogue Duo is a niche of a niche. I'm looking forward to mine (presuming there no mishap in the shipping and delivery).

I approve of this. Looking forward to getting this on release.

I have a feeling that there is even more to the Analogue 3D than even Analogue are letting on. I believe the choice of 3D rather than 64 or Ultra Nt is down to more than copyright concerns. What if the 3D contains a Trojan horse in the form of an extension port at the bottom that does more than connect to a 64DD. What if said extension port also allows the 3D to connect to a later-to-be release Analogue CD unit that plays PlayStation, Saturn and even Jaguar CD, 3DO and Amiga CD32 discs? What if Analogue also releases an top cartridge slot adaptor for Jaguar cartridges. All of this could be an FPGA f you to the Polymega.

Super Gamer is an underrated UK Nintendo magazine. I'd say it's second only to Super Play.

Since I've just added SVC Chaos to my Mega Engine RetroPie console and I've downloaded a load of ACA Neo Geo titles to my Switch Lite, I'm unlikely to be that I'll be interested in getting an Analogue Ng (especially if the Saudis are involved and profiting from it).

@Krambo42 I think they will eventually in 4K form. If so, I hope they add a headphone jack like the Mega Sg (and SFC prototypes).

If they port over the 32X version and modify it to work on the 3DO, they should have a very good version indeed.

Remember that Mortal Kombat 3 was at one point meant to be released for the 3DO in 1996.

I can foresee artists drawing a few images of an object or character and then AI being used to create interpolated frames of animation as a means to cut costs and speed up development.

I hope someone does a Genesis/Mega Drive homebrew port of SD Snatcher from the MSX2.

Might be worth a look. Is this an emulation machine or does it use FPGA (Kevtris anyone?)?? I would love DF to do a deep dive on the 2600+ and Time Extension to do an article on the best 2600 and 7800 games.

The mock-ups of the ill-fated Super Famicom CD-ROM drive in Super Play magazine (particular the one in Issue 11) look eerily like both the Nintendo 64 and even the GameCube.

For all his character flaws, I'm glad Naka-san isn't going to prison. There are far worse people than him walking free.
