Gs69

I’m really interested in this device if the price is right I will definitely bite hope you can use an ever drive I really like the look of it

@gb_nes_gamer an update just a few days ago has improved the system even further it genuinely is an excellent system you won’t regret getting it

@gb_nes_gamer the A500 mini is definitely worth getting especially at that price if you’re a fan of the Amiga it’s one of my favourite mini consoles really easy to add your own games

One of the highlights of cannon fodder on Amiga was the music but really the MD version still kept the playability sensible soccer was also very well done for the mega drive this looks like a great collection definitely getting this

Gonna boot mine up later I have had issues with buggy boy / speed buggy running ridiculously fast to the point of being unplayable not really encountered it with any other games glad to see it’s still being supported

Super cycle is a classic played it so much back in the day it was the closest thing to hang on on the c64 excellent game

That is a cool name it’s like when the Dreamcast was in development it was called katana I think that sounds a lot cooler but would it have been met with negativity by the media at the time

@gojiguy not sure I intended to get a brook adapter but ended up getting the 8bitdo adapter as it was on offer at the time

This looks cool I use my Dreamcast arcade stick all the time so it’s taken a bit of a beating over the years would love one of these as a replacement and the built in vmu is an amazing idea

So weird I played this yesterday on Dreamcast still enjoy it from time to time just wish it was longer

I’m pretty sure there is a Neo Geo pocket colour console in the same design or very similar

Looks great very metal slug like but that’s a good thing hope it gets a release on switch

@sdelfin I have used rechargeable batteries since I’ve had it and it’s fine have 2 sets of batteries so I can always keep it going one feature I really wish it had would be a sleep function I think that’s vital for a handheld

@belmont I got mine brand new and I honestly have had no issues with the build quality I suppose the batteries was done to make it authentic to the original there is a mod out there to use an internal rechargeable battery but I’m fine with it as it is

@belmont I have a retroflag gpi with a pi zero and it’s great GBA emulation is pretty spot on it does struggle with more modern systems but they are dirt cheap

Just watched a video of bike daisuki never actually heard of it very Mario kart-esque looks like a lot of fun tho

The Amiga had some outstanding games the games that were ported to consoles like speedball 2 and the chaos engine were always better on Amiga I would recommend slam tilt if you like pinball and stunt car racer is still awesome even today

Bought this when I first got a super famicom it’s definitely one of the worst beat em ups on the snes it’s like a lame final fight

@gojiguy it does work on switch but you need the 8bitdo adapter 2 and just do a small update on both the adapter and controller it works really well I have quite a lot of Neo geo games on switch it’s great to play them with an authentic feeling controller. Just tried it on my mega drive mini and it works on that too

This is really impressive such a great game the Amiga version is the best tho except for the track with the stepping stones

@sdelfin yeah always wondered why ,like you say Alien v predator is on capcom home arcade but not available as a standalone title for current consoles. I play Neo drift out on Dreamcast using neo4all it’s a great game but there is a lag with the sound plays perfectly tho just always wanted it to be released on switch

Neo drift out is a superb game should be part of the arcade archives releases but I guess they were keeping it back for this I just thought it was cos of the licensing but I guess they renewed the license for this. Bang bead is pretty addicting it’s great with 2 players

@TeamBigRig I have the mega drive/genesis controller it’s great I use on my original MD and MD mini it actually feels like the original MD 6 button that’s why I was interested as to what retrobit was gonna do for the Dreamcast controller but I like this it kinda looks like a switch pro controller

Been looking into a wireless solution for the DC this looks great I actually like the little VMU pod hope they do it in black transparent . Whatever happened to the retrobit Dreamcast controller I heard they were making one a while ago but can’t find any more info

I remember playing H.E.R.O on C64 and Hunchback loved those games still play them today on C64 mini I also remember getting Wizball for free in a bundle and for whatever reason didn’t play it but when I did I was hooked

I find those release dates odd as the European version actually has improvements over the Japanese version if you play them both the JP version kinda feels unfinished in many ways I would have thought there would have been a massive gap between releases as Europe was always an afterthought in those days great game tho and it still looks nice today the level with the horse is amazing the galloping sound and the music is outstanding

This is great news love the Neo Geo cd controller switch compatibility would be amazing seeing as I have a lot of Neo Geo games on it but I suppose this would work with the 8bitdo wireless adapter

@mjparker77 yeah I agree outrun 2 has much more of a flow to it you can drift from one corner into the next effortlessly where as it feels a bit janky in slipstream

The Dreamcast was an amazing console with so much potential but it seems like Sega was a company at odds with itself every story that I read about them points out the fact that Sega Japan simply didn’t trust Sega of America it’s such a shame as in the megadrive/Genesis days they gained a decent market share but that was cos of the fact they let Sega US tailor the software to that region

Wave game studios have it in stock from the original print run I’ve bought a couple of Dreamcast games from them and they have been great super reliable and reasonable prices cheaper than pixel heart

The Japanese converters that were available in the early 90s were such a waste of money all you had to do was file off the little edges that stick out on the MD cartridge slot and away you go but in all honesty the only game that wouldn’t work was Rolling Thunder 2 strangely a lot of European games wouldn’t work on a JP MD like sensible soccer Choas engine. It’s hit and miss my MD has been modded for years and is switchable between 50/60 Hz and that seems to be something to do with it for example sensible soccer won’t work if I boot it straight from 60Hz however if I boot it in 50Hz and then switch it to 60Hz after the sega logo then it works perfectly and that’s the same for a lot of games

Love this game I rented it that much when I was younger and first got a megadrive the owner of the video store asked if I wanted to buy it think I was one of very few people with a Japanese MD as it wouldn’t work on my friends uk MD even with the converter he let me have it at a really discounted price still have it today the box art is one of my favourite of all time. Always baffled why they called themselves Namcot tho

Yeah I remember seeing this in magazines and it did look great but the gameplay was awful the Amiga was capable of so much more. At the time my older brother had just started working so he bought a super famicom and I chose final fight Guy although that version played better it still left a lot to be desired not a patch on streets of rage 2

Not played resident evil 4 since the original on GameCube im excited for this day one for me

@Razieluigi I agree they can’t be trusted and even if they were to release an all new castlevania half of it would be hidden behind a paywall with ridiculous micro transactions

@sdelfin the Dreamcast pad is pretty bad it’s useable not bad for racers it’s very similar to the Saturn analog controller which again was great for racing games but the Saturn controller was and probably still is the best for fighters

As arcade games are my thing the Dreamcast wins hands down for me I know the Saturn had its fair share of arcade games but the ones that were released in the west usually got an upgrade on Dreamcast anyway. Mega drive was my first console and I still have it whilst it’s an amazing console the Dreamcast still pips it for me the official arcade stick and a Dreamcast with capcom and SNK fighters is my idea of gaming heaven

I have the SNES MD and Amiga mini have to say the emulation on the Mega Drive mini is pretty much spot on it’s probably my most played on I have recently discovered that the 8bitdo arcade stick functions 100% on the Amiga I know it’s not ideal for every type of game on the system but it’s definitely a step up from the original controller the chaos engine plays amazingly with it

@Shiryu well it’s a great game so a happy mistake I guess must be worth a decent amount nowadays

@Shiryu I remember the pal box it was huge was it just to accommodate a guide book

Just repaired and setup my ps2 after reading this I have a negcon which completely transforms the way the ps1 and ps2 games play once you get the hang of it feels amazing probably the best arcade racers ever made

@Andee it’s definitely not as fast or as thrilling as the Thunder force games but I feel it has pretty deep gameplay and the music on the MD is excellent saying that the Thunder force games have amazing soundtracks too

@SonOfDracula it’s just because of the all your base line in the intro other than that it’s fairly generic

@MarioBrickLayer yeah I hope they all get released but the wait for Metroid Prime 4 seems like it’s gone on forever I have read in some reviews that this looks incredible one of the best looking games on the switch I’m really excited to get this

Waiting for the end of the month to get it physical not played this since it originally came out on the GameCube so hopefully it will feel like a new game

@Soupbones thanks that’s great news I really liked the port of Gleylancer on switch as it included the original and an enhanced version I would love all retro releases to go down that route but I’m definitely in for this day 1

Great games although I always feel zero wing gets mentioned more than hellfire but I personally think hellfire is the superior game. The megadrive version of hellfire is a lot better than the arcade version hope they include the MD version as a bonus

That is a nice looking game gear in the picture at the top always found it quite difficult to get hold of the games at the time the console was out so didn’t actually play many before I sold mine

Really regret selling my Neo Geo pocket always found it difficult to get games the beat em ups that were on the system were surprisingly deep for a handheld console great little console and the d pad was outstanding I remember getting a ridiculous amount of time from the batteries

This looks amazing I have been playing quite a few pinball games recently got an A500 mini and been playing slam tilt a hell of a lot also devil crash on the megadrive mini superb games hope this makes it to switch as the screen is perfect for pinball games if you use it in Tate mode
