@gingerbeardman
Most likely yes.
Though lets be honest here, its just appears to be a bog standard Snes controller, with a slightly different shell.

The Sony Playstation tampographs are what makes it valuable.

@Sketcz @Andee
I find achievements pointless, meaningless, wastes of time that do absolutley nothing for me.

If others like the virtual ass pats for doing the most mundane tasks in a game, like booting the game, or beating the first chapter , then good for them I suppose.

But they do nothing for me and generally speaking I ignore them.

The only "use" and i use that term loosely, they may have is to see how many gamers reach certain points and finish their games .

But other then that they are virtual knick knacks.

I wouldn't have minded seeing a rally stage, based on the redwood park though.

Saw this on Youtube.
It left me wondering why bother ?
The Xbox cant even handle it, games cant even use that much ram.

Doing it for the sake of i suppose ?

Ive also seen modders replace the socket and the cpu in the Xbox.
Steady on lads it's not a pc.

Horjay, meaningless ass pats for doing mundane tasks in video games !

I dont like "achievements" never did.
I am in a minority of that though.

Oh, well, and extra month wont kill ye.
I'm hopingwaiting for a controller with dual sticks and a firmware that makes use of em.

40 Winks is terrible with the standard controller or even a 360 one.

That's usually seller code for "we have tried it but it doesnt work so we are covering our arses"
Or "we cant be bothered to test it buy at your own risk"

I've been interested in these things but the price tag of 500 bux or more always stayed my hand.

Hmm, yes , looks very Saturn.
Chunky pixels and quads an all.

A glorified rental, no thanks.

Another bloody handheld.
No thanks. ill pass, i'd rather hook one of these up to a screen.

I got the DVD version.
It looks and runs fine, using a 360 controller.
Wish it replaced the keyboard prompts for Xbox button prompts though.

It's already been updated too.
The article links to v 0.3
V 0.4 went up 7 hours ago https://github.com/emoose/OutRun2006Tweaks/releases

@SnowyAria @Yousef-

Well I've heard it being called Alone In The Dork 2008.

I might risk it after playing Lake.

Ominous.
Ive seen the Resi evil ones.
They are rock hard money and time sinks.

Excellent
Here is hoping for an english version.
Article is unclear on that.

@SnowyAria
It's on the level of Deadly Premonition isnt it ?

Edit: also, your Youtube link returns a 404 error.

@SnowyAria "Alone in the Dark (the 360 era one), etc, and I love those trash fires too!"

I just bought that on Steam.
Should I worry ?

@Starless Because quite frankly it got @SnowyAria 's attention and she wants to tackle it and bring it to the attention of more people, because its an endearingly dorky game made with the best intentions ?

That's my best guess, she can shed more light on the thing.

And most quirky and unusual untranslated games are still for the most part from Japan.

A new patch adds CD-quality music, as well as "circlestrafing and the ability to start any episode on any difficulty."

That's the part that got my attention
Throw in a way to save progress and the Snes port would be just fine.

@Starless
No it's more like it's so bad its hilarious.
So inept that all you can do is point and laugh at its many faults.

Like MST3K did with many many many terrible ( or dull ) movies.

The worst thing entertainment can do is be boring.

( mostly, crashing every 5 seconds leaking memory or destroying the contents of your hard drive if you uninstall it are pretty high up there as well )

@Sketcz
Just for shigs I had a look on Ebay for Japanese soft drink cans from 1990.

The only ones I came across with a palmtree on ti are these from 1993
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/186456649147?itmmeta=01J1QY3MD16V48MA0XD8CHKAHZ&hash=item2b69aeadbb:g:9FwAAOSwpi9mT7zk&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8JTBrsxIz2FsEmgCTs%2F75F9dX1j%2F3TuvP%2Br%2BVUV%2FGED1Z%2B6z%2B6BwHQ9szH2aSFbve%2B7xgaMBLZFSKeeYeNmyi3KHFeIsowKOhptn%2FeEU3h2WK2QTM36tO%2BbATfLhLqpJwmJ9DfM6MqrGOE1XSnDQILKwvejEwH%2BUiRE6O1KvPq7ZJ5BE0AeaDB1uFHLkitCO%2Fy9BEmHvrD75hJvrjt%2BhoNlEdwBNNH5%2BtTsYGa4YGarM2QiHPCIgcbwOgf87EGBLCM70WiDhlwJmvO9AUD%2FbqbPlAzqyGYH0jsk4P2J8%2By%2BsUAcFEuo0mJmY%2Bn3lK24v%2Bg%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR9TGjv6NZA

One of them does ape the Sega design if you squint.
Maybe its a Japanese cultural thing ?

Well, uh ...,thanks, I guess.
I do enjoy quirky games so who knows.

I'm one of those loonies that likes Raytracers and felony 11-79.
I might even like this.

But it's stil Fifa 98 underneath.
And that aint no good.

Utter lunacy.

They saw what DKoldies was doing and figured they wanted some of that.

I bought the game as recently as May, and while I am no SHMUP fan, Radient Silvergun lives up to it's reputation.
If not its pricetag.
I paid on the lower end of the scale, and it was still a thee figure sum.

Thats cool I guess, but I am generally not that in to handheld gaming.

@Blast16
No I generally dont care for manufactured hype or trailers or announcements of announcements of a trailer, that lasts 30 seconds for a product, thats still years away from release.

That doesnt generate interest for me it sabotages it.
I dont get interested in a product unless i can buy it right away or if the wait is short.

Like say 6 weeks or 2 months.

These attempts to generate hype and interest always fall flat for me.

Voltron ( 1985 ) is like Robotech a contraction of existing Japanese mecha shows
Beast King Golion ( 1981 ) and Armored Fleet Dairugger XV.
Originally WEP wanted to adpat Daltanious but due to a mix up ( the one with the lions ) they got GoLion instead

The rest uh, is as they say history.
Voltron season 1 features mostly Golion season 2 and the "movie" is made up from Dairugger.

Lightspeed Electroid Albegas was also supposed to be part of Voltron or the third Voltron but this never came to pass.

Lion Voltron was so popular it eclipsed Dairugger, and Toei was commissioned to animate new episodes.

Lion Voltron is in fact so popular, it eclipsed it's original Golion incarnation.
It's after all Voltron that endures 40 years hence, not Golion, or Dairugger or Albegas
Let alone Daltanious

Super Sentai has been around since 1975
But the version that was turned in to Power Rangers is the sixteenth series.
Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger , which is named Galaxy Rangers by Toei for international publishing.

Footage for Zyuranger has been used extensively for the first 3 Power Ranger seasons.

Power Rangers the IP these days is owned by Hasbro.
Toei owns the costumes props and original sentai versions

@gojiguy
They have to start somewhere.

If this is even half as good as Shredders Revenge it's gonna be at least decent.

@NinChocolate
You can find that on CD romance.

There is now a bundle as well
https://www.gog.com/en/game/resident_evil_bundle
You get Resi 1 and pre order 2 and 3.

( edit: bought the bundle, 2 and 3 are now part of my library with soon tags)

Moar edit: the game is the original, not Dir cut ( no arrange mode )
The opening FMV is in color and very much uncensored.
It's very crunchy though.
Tried an X One controller with it and it works fine.

@calbeau
A small bit of food or information or gossip.

Not exactly thrilled by the costume to be honest.
It might be popular because other then the jaguar mask, the clothes are normal relatable and something most people would have worn at least once.

It also makes for easy cosplaying.
But its not a costume that I care much for.

@Sketcz
It's a glorified rental.
If you go in like that is passable, just don't expect to own anything.
I got gamepass on my Xone X, i've played quite a few games i never would have bought before.
But I am under no illusions than that they are anything other then a rental.

At least they are upfront about it.
But if this is the future of gaming then i'll pass and fully retreat in to retro.

Back to component I go.

Am I the only one who read the company's name as Game Scare ?
Just me then ?
Okay.

Not even gonna bother with this glorified rental.
I got the N64 original and The Rare Replay version.
That will do for me.

@Sketcz
That is exactly what he is saying.

Al the games in the Switch Online service are purely rentals.
The moment your sub runs out you lose access to them
The only games you can actually buy and own on the NX are the bottom row in that picture.

Thats still a lot of Zelda but to own the entire series you need a Gamecube with GBA player as well.

@Blast16
Atari Doom was coded by Carmack himself. ( the engine at least )
And stripped down to work on a console
Almost all the other console ports are based on that one
3DO, GBA, Playstation and 32X are all derived from it.

It's less a port and a new master version
Stop skeletons from fighting has a decent set of vids about it

@Azuris
Think you got the replies for BulkSlash and me mixed up.
But no worries.

Passwords would have at least been something
At least there are save states around these days, but that doesn't help on real hardware or with fakerdrives*.

( * everdrive clones)

@Porco
The credit mostly is , i suppose anyway, for how they handled the RROD disaster.
Instead of burying it they owned up to it and replaced or fixed affected Xbox 360's free of charge
That cost them 1,15 billion.

That move garnered them and the Xbox brand a lot of good will.
Most of said good will evaporated on E3 2013.

Personally I am neutral about the Xbox.
I got a 360 it runs the games are cheap, that'll do me.

@Azuris
If I am honest the thing that always put me off the Snes version of Doom, was the lack of a save game ability.
Not even a password.

Doom isn't a game you finish in a single setting.

@PopetheRev28
If it's 60 bux they can piss off.
I got half these games on the Saturn and Dreamast as is.

@Zenszulu
And they wrecked it all on E3 2013 when that smug Matrick ***** said, they got the 360 for people who don't have stable internet.
'always online'.
and 'deal with it.'

11 years later the Xbox has stil not recovered from it.
A self own so massive, it hasn't been seen since Atari passed up on Nintendo.

@GameGear1991
The Megadrive X-men games were not by Capcom.
But by Western Technolochies inc and Headgames respectively

Mutant Apocalypse is on the Snes.

@Teksetter
Even further back.
PS1 and Saturn era.

And all of those versions were based on the Jag port.
Cause that was the first console port for some reason, and fairly stripped back.

The 3do Doom ...exists, that's the nicest thing i can say about it.
Least the SNES port tries and runs on ancient hardware even for 1993.
The 3do should have been able to handle Doom.

Its also not coming to Xbox.

Word is that MS doesn't support a framework these collections are build upon anymore.
Said framework, the MT Framework, also has no support for the ps5.
Notice how the ps5 was left out as well as the Xbox.

But don't quote me on that.
It might just be random piffle.

@Yousef-
I was going to say that the Polystation, like the Dendy is just a famiclone.
But the world of knock off consoles is pretty weird and wild, and they deserve to be preserved as well.
If only for how crazy they are.

@OldManHermit
Most artists get the ninjaken wrong anyway.
If you look closely it doesnt appear that Ryu isn't holding the sword at all but just clenching his fist.

He doesn't appear to be gripping it.
