I grabbed Donut Dodo and also a couple other of Flyinn’s Arcade games and find them cool but stopped buying them because I just don’t enjoy score-attack/arcade games with no online leaderboards whatsoever (at least on Switch) have no drive to keep playing and better myself. Dunno how much can the inclusion of online scores impact their dev costs but I’d pay a couple bucks more to have them. Really hope the Switch port of Cash Cow DX will include online leaderboards because it looks awesome

Wait, so this is going to work as basically a repository of fully downloadable non-homebrew software? I must be missing something

Trackball and spinner… how easy it is to mod these things to add/emulate more games? I’d turn it into a Marble Madness / Arkanoid machine! Too bad no 2nd player…

Is it normal that preorders are open but I, as backer, haven’t received anything asking to confirm my region of choice for the packaging and usual checks for shipping address?

Just also release the first 2 as is (ACA releases or similar) with online leaderboards.
Don’t really have faith in CRT games.

The remake of SB1 was mediocre to say the least, new artstyle/gfx are awful and the stages don’t lend themselves to 16:9 well, too big, too slow, boring af and no online highscores to chase/battle for. Waste of money.

One of the best games ever made.
It alone would make the Gamecube’s very own existence worth it (but thankfully GC’s library has a surprising amounts of masterpieces and must play, considering how little it lasted.)
Since a new one seems to be out of the question, at least give me this game remastered in HD with online play and some QOL changes. But really, I’d take anything at this point, don’t play it anymore because my Wii/U/GC are not hooked up, it’s a shame. This game deserves it, there’s still nothing like it, and stil feels great to play.

It’s an excellent game and its shooting/controls struck a great balance between ‘90s arcade game and modern twin-stick shooter. It’s such s fantastic package with its sublime gfx and music/sounds fx/voice samples.

BUT it is such a shame that even on modern platforms there are no online leaderboards

It’s an unfortunate omission that really stings as far as I’m concerned

@diegodzilla it was already a known fact that MDM is a huge “gamer”, mafiosos turned state-witnesses mentioned how he was “obsessed with videogames” multiple times over years.

Just want to point out that it’s his lover, Maria Masi, writing about DK 3 and SoM 2 and wanting to buy it for him, and not Messina Denaro. She also says “cassetta” as in “cassette tape”, while cartridge would have been “cartuccia”. That is for the reason @RupeeClock explained.

What a fantastic article, made even more interesting by Brian’s (almost brutal) honesty, also bravo to Damien for the flow and poignancy

@GravyThief let’s say less than 30% of library, because it’s only for multi-diskettes games, maybe much less than that even, not sure.
And yes, very easy to find on the internet.
@Ooyah I guess you could research which ones became freeware even or “abandonware” , for the others you can buy them used. 99% of the games you’d want are not going to cost you more than a few quids in non-boxed “just working” conditions, and you could even find bundles on eBay to save even more.
