@Ooyah Quartet 2 isn't really a sequel. It just means it's 2 player (as opposed to 4)

@Gs69 Amazon . jp (you can change the site to english text to at the bottom)

@carlos82 Yeah, I understand you. But I'm glad they made it more like a mini arcade cabinet in mind. It's perfect*

*Real shame there is no Spider-man though. Ah well.

@carlos82 See, I totally disagree with this. If I saw Outrun in an arcade housed in a stand up cabinet with a joystick and buttons...I would feel sad for OutRun.

I'm glad they aren't here. They just don't suit it.

SOLD! I got the arcade stick. Just waiting for the mini to arrive...

I am soooo glad it's not the usual suspects. The omission of Out Run and AfterBurner etc etc is welcome as they wouldn't have suited the spirit of this cabinet and they have given so many 2D games a chance to shine. Oh...and Virtual Fighter! AWESOME! Can't. Wait.

Erm...it wasn't hidden or anything lol. I find this weird lol.

@bluemage1989 Just being honest.

The build quality looks a bit chunky to me.

As for roms / emulation. I have no objection to defunct hardware being emulated. Heck there are some wonderful home brew scenes that aren't hurting anyone.

Grabbing a rom of a genuinely lost game is case of no harm, no foul to me. Anything that is still relevant today (and let's face it, that's most of Nintendo's output because it's so industry leading) should be met with contempt and called for what it is. Piracy.

Sure, we all want free games. I'm not unique. When I hit a certain age and started earning my own money, I drooled at being able to own every game I couldn't afford as a kid. But unfortunately, Capitalism isn't some long term scheme where we pay enough in and we get rewarded. A console that can play everything is mighty! But wanting it all for free is nothing but entitled nonsense, regardless of whatever self delusional notions of preservation anyone has.

(No hate. So if you love this thing, fill ya boots! I don't get paid to prevent anyone losing money etc lol!)

Plays ports.
Is port able.
...but no dock.

In all seriousness, the Switch is scratching my retro itch just fine. Now...hurry up Hamster with the Green Beret arcade archive!

RIP Jason. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping make Super Play a foundation for my love of all things SNES.

Yikes.

Really hope we see a Namco Collection 2 on Switch.

I remember the arguments between fighting fans over which was better Street Fighter 2 or Mortal Kombat (yes, we all know it's SF). It's funny how folk turned their nose up at no blood as though it improved the game lol. In fact, taking the gore out of the game showed it up for the shallow brawler it was.

Let's hope that Mortal Kombat becomes relevant to Nintendo Switch.

I would love to own one, but thanks to the Switch, I honestly don't think I would ever use it. Thing is, I will probably cave when it's released in the West lol.

Aww he was an amazing artist. I had 3 or 4 posters of his artwork on my bedroom wall when I was a kid.

I've never liked the button layout of the joysticks. I managed to find one of the Neo Geo CD controllers when I had my system. These days I'll stick to my Switch.

@aaronsullivan Erm...Target Earth on the Megadrive? Really?
@Wexter Amen. Phenomenal arcade game.

Music is Cybernator - Who's Praying For a Soldier (level 1 ost) if you were wondering.
Hmmm...this is interesting indeed.

EA have the licence until just before the sun goes out...

This game was jaw dropping!

Zelda Ocarina of Time came this close to having loading times between zoning! That would have aged the game a lot more than it's graphics.
