@ParadoxFawkes @RubyCarbuncle Using a separate controller isn't very convenient when playing outside is it, on the train or a park or wherever... Especially if you've not got a flat surface and stand to put your phone on
@RandomNPC @Kayvoo I believe the Switch has a browser, we just can't use it, lol... You can see it at certain times, eg when you have to login to Facebook to find friends to add or share an image.
@mr_benn I've been hoping for Rainbow Islands to be released on Arcade Archives for ages! One of my childhood favourites. The Puzzle Bobble games are on there so we know that Taito are willing to release their games in this format.
I have a feeling Bubble Bobble won't come to Arcade Archives as they'd prefer people to buy Bubble Bobble 4, but I'm not paying £35.99 for that, are you mad Taito...
Sadly I lost all interest in this title when it became Star Fox Adventures. The Star Fox characters are... not Nintendo's best. Much preferred the look of it with Rare's original characters and they seemed to fit the world SO much better.
Why does it seem Miyamoto makes so many bad decisions when it comes to other people's games... 😐
@Dethmunk "For godsake don't have Dominic Diamond fronting it"
Why on earth not? Without Dominic Diamond it's not Gamesmaster! (The Dexter Fletcher series sucked and viewers turned off) Agreed celebrities sounds very lame. 🙄 I want to see nerfs playing the games like back in the day.
The screen is too small for my liking. If I ever get an emulation handheld I'll probably get a Retroid Pocket 2. It looks gorgeous and you can connect if to the TV and play with a wireless controller too.
Having said that I'm also tempted by the PiBoy DMG as it apparently emulates Dreamcast better than the Retroid... However it looks less comfortable to hold (I prefer horizontal handhelds to vertical) so IDK...

@RubyCarbuncle "Good for those who can't afford a Smartphone I suppose"
Or people who don't want to play their portable retro games with awful touchscreen controls or a separate external controller...
Re: Review: Retroid Pocket 2+ - A Vast Improvement Over Its Forerunner
Very tempted by the GBA coloured one! Does anyone know if you can play Commodore Plus4 and Commodore 64 games on if?

Re: Feature: You Know What? The GamesMaster Reboot Is An Unexpected Delight
@Damo Shame! I suspected as much but also wondered if I was making stereotypical assumptions based on their age.
Re: Feature: You Know What? The GamesMaster Reboot Is An Unexpected Delight
Is Trevor McDonald into gaming then?
Re: Evercade's 'Renovation Collection 1' Will Bring A Dozen Rare Games To The System
They should try and get them put in the Switch NSO SNES app.
Re: New Book Charts The Anarchic Life Of GamesMaster, The UK's Biggest Video Game TV Show
@scottishwildcat The reviews, the game competitions, the games news and footage etc etc... What did you find so bad about it?
Re: New Book Charts The Anarchic Life Of GamesMaster, The UK's Biggest Video Game TV Show
I didn't know Pat Sharp was on it. Fun House was a legendary 90s show too!

And Dave Perry must be in it too!
Re: Pre-Ordered A Polymega With Walmart? We've Got Bad News For You
@Azuris "So why buy something expansive if you can use Devices you still have?"
Because most Sega Saturn disk drives are probably in a bad way these days if second hand Dreamcasts are anything to go by.
Re: Pre-Ordered A Polymega With Walmart? We've Got Bad News For You
@Emob Apparently its hybrid emulation and real (using the discs) which they claim provides optimal performance.
Re: Pre-Ordered A Polymega With Walmart? We've Got Bad News For You
@Azuris But this can play Sega Saturn and Sega CD disks! If they add Dreamcast in future I'll be all over it.
Re: The PocketGo S30 Is Basically A SNES Pad That Plays Retro Games
@Zuljaras I can't decide whether to get one or the PiBoy DMG.
Re: The PocketGo S30 Is Basically A SNES Pad That Plays Retro Games
@redpanda0310 Oh nice and there's no lag?
Re: The PocketGo S30 Is Basically A SNES Pad That Plays Retro Games
@redpanda0310 I prefer to play games at my TV on the sofa or portable but Mac or PC isn't bad if you have a comfortable chair and a nice setup etc.

Has anyone tried either of them?
