In hindsight, it was a bit pointless releasing an upgrade for the Saturn so late in the day when the Dreamcast was just around the corner.

Obviously they learned their lesson from the 32X.

What I said in your original article, rather than them remaking the game using the original artwork as it's inspiration (which I would have done if I had the rights)

They've made something that looks like something a kid made on Newgrounds in the early 2000's. That awful, souless overly airbrushed vector gradient artwork that the PS3 remake of GODS had, and that was released over a decade ago.

Awesome, the Retsuprae boys were working on a translation about 2009, but they've been quiet for years on theirs.

@slider1983 Interesting, so I can burn it to a floppy and have copy 51!

Well, it's not the first time Customs has destroyed a rare game, I think last year, they smashed open a graded Pokémon game, and tore the box apart.

That floppy disk had no writing on it, no label, nothing. So there's nothing actually "unique" to make it valuable other than the data on it.

So it could be easily replicated if one of the 49 other owners are willing to send the data. If it's not already online. And no one would ever be the wiser if he used old stock floppies to burn it to.

Are these new records, or the original records from 2001?

@AceGrace Nice, Can you still use it?

Did they just nick the retooling casts for the Gamestick or something?

My CEX was their original prototype, they had a market stall at Wembley Market in the mid '80s/early '90s. I used to buy Amstrad games from them! Then later on Master System and then import Mega Drive/SNES games.

Also found out recently that their HQ was literally next door to where I took my driving theory test a few years ago. You'd never know from the outside.

Is that Apollo Smile voicing her too? The original VA for Ulala.

It really reminds me of Psygnosis' Ecstatica.
Probably the art style.

I'd imagine the next step would be having wi-fi on the card and the memory card accessing a cloud based saving system.

Of course Sony won't give us a new WipeOut, they'd rather blow $400 Million on a live service game no one liked, nor asked for.

God forbid they'd give us a new instalment of a franchise they've hoarded over the past 30 years. What they did with Lemmings was downright criminal.

Feels like something you'd get on a Mastertronic budget tape from John Menzies

@turboxray Americans thought it was a good compromise.

But I never knew the difference as a kid either.

@Arcadia_Official The season John was on was filmed in 1998.

Best of luck John, hopefully someone out there still has a copy

Konami's only ever translated FOUR of the THIRTY-FIVE Goemon games into English (Five if you count the unreleased PS2 game, but that was Working Designs) So I doubt we'll be seeing this any time soon.

Also, two of those four are Nintendo 64 games, which aren't even in the collection >.>

American English just sounds so wrong in ANY medieval themed anything.

What irked me about Zelda: Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom. While the Hylians (mostly) had the stereotypical plum British accent, the other tribes really should have had Scottish/Welsh/Irish. And considering how popular Game of Thrones was at the time, I'm honestly surprised they didn't go for that.

But I remember hearing in the '80s, a lot of cartoons would hire Canadian voice actors as an inbetween the American/British accents.

You must be one genius of a driver, you gotta teach me!!!

The music is pretty banging', but other than that, it kinda feels like a beta version of Chase HQ.

Now, hopefully they'll actually release Chase HQ soon, as they've never released it on anything since Taito Legends on the PS2, and even that was an exclusive on the Japanese version.

I've always been curious if Red Alarm was ever meant to be a Starfox game at some point.

@Sketcz Thanking you kindly Sir , alas, I had nothing to do with the article itself. In fact, I didn't even get to read it until I bought the issue three months later.

I always got the feeling Edge wanted to be more an industry trade magazine, even though MCN exists for that purpose, so were trying to be more cold than other gaming magazines.

@Damo That's the one, yeah. That's awesome you have that issue too!

If you look at the same image in the article itself, you should see my name lightly written on his hand.

I was also going to take over from Wil Overton on doing the covers for N64/NGC GameCube Magazine when he left to work for Rare, but they suddenly had a change of policy to only use official art on all magazines from then on >.>

But I am getting back into doing manga/anime art this year, I really miss it.

@James-Bond That's the one!!!

@JJtheTexan You won't believe what number 3 is!!! Mindblowing!!!

Fun Fact: I drew the cover for the April 2003 issue.

I feel the massive rise in popularity of FPSes in the mid/late '90s really pushed focus to the West, whereas the US and UK excelled at making FPSes, the Japanese absolutely suck balls.

Clickbaiting dude...

The Forgotten Sony Handheld you never knew existed!!!

@DoorToMundane That's the one, Stop, Drop and Retro did an amazing video of it on YouTube many years ago.

@MojaMojaKumaSan Aw, bless you Sir, Thanking you kindly! ^_^

@Slackshoe So, one of the SNES games?

When "Fable: The Journey" was revealed at Microsoft's E3 event, and the entire audience was absolutely dead silent straight afterward.

@DoorToMundane You thought the VCS Kickstarter was bad, did you see the one they did before with the Atari Watch???

This isn't 1982 any more,
no one in this day and age gives that much of a sh1t about Atari to want to stay at a Atari themed hotel.

Croc 2 remastered!!!

@Martin_H Or it could be Dave Perry the Norwich/Great Yarmouth Puppet man!

Look him up on YouTube

@Robocod I didn't like what they did with the Monster World IV remake, they gave it that low poly appearance, which made it look like they just ported over an old mobile phone game.

But, the Japanese love doing that, even on high profile titles like The Secret of Mana and Klonoa.

@MisterStu Billy Kane is a marketing manager, he's not a journalist.

@Martin_H Well... Billy Kane wears a bandana and a leather jacket, and isn't a 7ft tall Irishman, so..

Dave Perry once told me Billy Kane from Fatal Fury is based on him.

@Robocod That remake of GODS was infamous for that horrible airbrushed/gradient look.

It would be interesting to know which Smurfs game his music was intended for.

There were two Smurfs games released on the PS1, one a platformer, the other a kart racer, and neither use music fitting to his style.

@Johnny_Arthur Brosnan said he'd like to come back some day as a retired Bond.

That might be a good movie concept!

@The_Nintendo_Expat Driv3r

such a shame these have never been put on the switch, if nintendo are happy to let third parties publish the arcade version of super mario on the system, why not these?

also hotel mario.

They really nailed that early '90s synth redbook music!

But hopefully they do actually complete it, and it's not another of those overly encaustic Sonic 2 HD remakes.

@cawley1 Lizardcube's Wonderboy II remake was astounding, you could even have both the original and new graphics on screen at the same time! They also added some additional areas not in the original.

What did you think of the remake of Toki? Which went for a totally stylized new look, took them over a decade to complete.

@MysticWangForce One of those game you'll forget existed until you come across a steam code on some key site for 10p in a decades time.

Literally how I found the HD version of Superfrog, even though it had be delisted from Steam years ago

@Zenszulu I hope they weren't "inspired" by the DS's box art, please no!!!
