Cheaper than I expected honestly.

@Sketcz I'd love to read that article lol. Can you tell me what issue it's from?

Damn Europe and their red start button Mega Drive controllers! I got every other one!

Wouldn't the the Mission to Rescue Princess Peach and all of the DIC cartoons have given Peach a voice first? You didn't specify in a video game.

Man how often is it that something is cheaper than expected nowadays? Really cool of the developers to do this. Although I am not personally interested in any FPGA hardware outside of the Pocket, which I already own. Still really cool tho.

As someone who is not tol familar with the Evercade, where's the ESRB rating on the package? Isn't that a requirement to sells games at pretty much any store in the US?

@madgears Yea (the n64 was competitive power wise as well) but the Mini Dvds were a pretty big mistake, if not as bad as the cartridges. But more importantly, the n64 cartridge mistake was li what gave the ps1 the install base and brand power to make PlayStation a household name. Even if Nintendo had used DVDs for the GCN, the ps2 would have still won that console generation easily. Basically what I am saying is that the n64 using cartridges was one of the most important decisions to lead Nintendo to where they are now.

@MysticX Yea I do wonder where Nintendo would be now if they used CDs for the n64. Would they still have eventually switched to underpowered hardware? Or would they be trying to be more competitive hardware wise? I assume in this timeline that Nintendo never would have lost the third party support that led them to where they are today. I have would have to imagine the Gamecube, Wii, etc. would look a lot different if the n64 used CDs.

For me personally I do go back to old games for nostalgia reasons at times. But the thing that gets me the most nostalgic personally is listening to the soundtracks of games I played when I was a kid. I like playing retro games because experiencing games and systems before mybtime is just cool and it gives me a better understanding of VG history.

@AllieKitsune ???? I have no issue with people calling it the "Mega Drive". That's what they've known it as most of their lives after all. But on the same token, us U.S citizens can call it the Genesis as that's we've known it most of our lives. Why not celebrate our differences instead of forcing everyone to conform to one specific name? It has nothing to do with "things revolving around the US).

I'm curious to know how n64 fpga gameplay looks. Does it look closer to emulation or real hardware? Surely it doesn't have the blur filter of real hardware so it looks closer to emulation?

This is insanely overpriced as usual from Eon. Just buy an electron shepard Xbox HDMI adapter for a little over $40 an there's no issues with a darkened image or anything. https://electron-shepherd.com/products/xbox2hdmi It really does annoy me that people review Eon products without criticizing their prices or listing all the way cheaper alternatives that are equal or better in functionality.

I would be shocked if this thing outsold the Virtual Boy 😂

Where are all the articles about the SG 1000 mini? 😲

@Yorumi I think the disc issue is mainly only with DC and Early CD games, right? I mean I've never heard anyone having the issue with Gamecube era games or even Ps1 games really

I just wish someone would come out with an ACTUAL disc drive replacement that accepts discs for Dreamcast. I'm a little scared that the disc drives in Dreamcasts will all be dead in like ten years.

@VmprHntrD Actually I don't think it will. HD Retrovision has already came out with a similar product, expect it uses Component instead of HDMI. It doesn't work with N64 and Gamecube, because it uses the SNES RGB output to produce the HDMI picture, which I presume this will too, when it comes out.
