No nostalgia for game gear, gameboy was the thing that introduced me to nintendo though and would instabuy a gameboy re-release
I even really like my smb edition game and watch even tho I have no nostalgia or memories of the g&w it's a nice device and actually very playable (doubt that tiny tiny game gear sega gave us is playable)
Honestly sega should of just made a cheap keyring with how small they made it
@StevenG 100% agree with you there, I wish my mini consoles were fpga
Although I did still end up buying 5 mini consoles, they're mostly just shelf display items tbh, box in back, with the mini consoles in front of boxes and some figures to stand around each console respectively
@Roibeard64 I have steam version tho tbf just tend to emulate the games, my mate is obsessed with DC owns about 5 haha
Also, I could be wrong, but didnt sega loose/throw away a lot of source code for their old games? I think that's why we never got original panzer dragoon as unlockable in the remake for example
@Roibeard64 1up arcade cabs include more then 1 game, but restricted within that series
The mortal kombat cab for example comes with MK 1,2,3
SF2 comes with SF2 championship, the new challengers and turbo
Ms.pacman comes with Ms.Pacman, Super Pacman, Dig-Dug and Galaxian
Personally I just stick to using my PC for arcade good-ness, use my racing wheel for arcade racers, my sanwa stick and buttons for fighting games, metal slug ect. and got my sinden lightgun coming later in the year for lightguns on modern LCD
Though I have been tempted to pick up one of these 1up arcades they just take up too much space and I already lack space atm xD they (along with this new SNK tabletop) are pretty nice though for those wanting an arcade cab but not wanting to build one themselves.. I think the more hardcore crowd tend to opt to build their own MAME cabs
Personally quite happy with my neo geo mini, I don't find the screen nor the controls too small or cramped and quite like its miniture size
Sorry for rambling, I just really like arcade games (despite not having much experience in actual arcades)
@Papichulo I'm sure many of these people would rather we just keep buying the same games over and over again, most of which would have to buy 2nd hand off an ebay seller
It's like my copies of crash trilogy, crash bash and CTR for PS got stolen about 6 years ago.. Nowadays I just emulate those games or play the remakes, does this mean I'm "stealing money" from sony and naughty dog? because my parents bought those games for me back in the 90s and their money went straight to sony and naughty dog at the time.. And buying all those games 2nd hand off ebay isn't exactly cheap
It's because of people like that though that companies like Rockstar will try to sell GTAV to people a THIRD time lmao
@shonenjump86 Yup extra stage, also more frames in the animations and more idle animations from what I recall, and cheats where you can give him an Afro and stuff like that
The XBLA "remastered" version of EWJ also had its own exclusive stage as well, though everything else about that version was considerbly worse then previous versions of the game
Defintely worth checking out the Special Edition if you can, I had trouble getting the PC version to work on a modern system but if you're comfortable with emulation, the Sega CD version emulates just fine.
I adore Earthworm Jim, what a fantastic game it was.. I'm just super sad that the new one is going to be Intellivision console exclusive.. Hopefully just a timed exclusive
@shonenjump86 Honestly, it's hard for me to play any version of Earthworm Jim other then Special Edition, which was on the Sega CD and PC, it's the version I grew up playing and find it hard playing the regular versions
@LunarFlame17 @LunarFlame17 hopefully these games (along with the new Earthworm Jim) will make it onto the switch sometime in the future
If they release the original earthworm jim though.. I want the Special Edition that came out originally on pc and sega cd.. The "hd" version that came out on XBLA was terrible in comparison

Re: The RK2020 Is Another Chinese Handheld Which Aims To Play Absolutely Everything
@mesome713 You can't "emulate" movies, or american football
This really does show your lack of understanding in this area

So get off your high horse
Re: Best Of 2019: Your Beloved Games Console Is Slowly But Surely Dying
