Thats Tekken 5.
It comes with the full arcade versions of Tekken 1 2 and 3.

Which shows how bare bones an Arcade game is compared to the home ports
Even the ps1 version of Tekken 1 has more going for it.
While ps1 Tekken 2 and 3 are absolutely stuffed to the gills with extra's modes and features.

PS 2 Tekken 5 is still cool to have though.

The fact that they think they wont get a legal challenger form Sega shows they are complete and utter incompetent buffoons.
They can't even grift right, its that laughable and moronic.

The moment they start asking money for this is the moment Sega will surface like blue shark.

This entire thing is a travesty even the SMACHZ come soff looking better.
Cause they had a ( manky) "prototype" that showed something.
Al this lot has is a lot of hot air, delusions and a fugly design.

And the usual vague interviews where they fail to provide concrete info.
Mustn't forget that.

@Blast16

I'd love to see the Sega ages 2500 line getting a western release.
Doubt that will ever happen though.
A Mini Saturn from Sega would be way more likely to happen.

@DaveD

I looked at the Odin 2 but thats more a PS Portal or Switch Lite kind of device
With a pretty hefty pricetag too
Not as hefty as the Flip Ds but still Steamdeck levels.

I'm not really in to handheld gaming so anything over 200, makes me lose my interest.

I dont even use the Supaboy I got very much.

@Tobiaku
Indeed it is
It sadly also has a nearly 2 grand pricetag and costs more then my Ryzen gaming pc and a oled Steamdeck combined.

Oh well, thanks for the info at least.

@PopetheRev28
Rip your discs with IMGBURN and use an emulator.
I play my ps1 games via Duckstation instead of actual hardware.

I like the games but not the 30 year old limitations that come with with the hardware
IE: read errors
Corrupt or unreadable memory cards.
Fixed save points.
Manky controllers.
CD drives that do bog all.
Damaged discs.
Region lock outs.

Ridge Racer Type 4 looks fantastic on Duckstation, and plays equally fantastic with a Xbox One controller.

@MikeP
I would like to point out that the PS1 hardware is extremely limited now.
But back in the 90's it was cutting edge.

@PinballBuzzbro

Or aren't broken up in to predatory DLC and micro Transactions.
And don't need 60 gig day one patches to even boot
Nope not at all.

How to look like Star Wars without being Star Wars.

@Serpenterror
Tomb Raider was sold to Embracer 2 years or so ago if I recall.

The Tekken games are not like battle arena Toshinden which are all flash and no substance.
The early Tekkens still hold up.
The weakest of the lot is Tekken 1
But the others have aged pretty well, and are a product of their time.

Not all the 2D games are golden either
Street Fighter 1 is a turd
And SF II has so many versions its hard to pick one ( Turbo always Turbo)

Whats that absolute unit of a handheld console on the left in the main picture ?

I just want it because its translucent yellow.
Am I weird ?

Most of my records are color or translucent.

Hope somebody asks these charlatans how they expect to get away with calling themselves SuperSega.

Personally I don't really care for these things

I like the Saroo it's a non invasive way to play iso's and I can stil keep the disc drive in my Saturn, in case I feel like playing a disc based game.

But these mods don't do much for me.

The Biggest take away from this is got is: for gods sake Sega ,take notice, there is a demand for a new Saturn console get off your arse and do something !

@Andee
Yes I came here to say that too.
Or a re release of the ps3Xbox 360 version of Daytona.

Sega really is quarter assing it with these anniversaries.
If it aint Sanic or the Megadrive, they dont care.

Drama, drama never changes.

Even if he kills the entire thing, somebody will fork it and cal it Goose station or something.

And even then, the originals are still floating out here.

...off course int plays Doom.
What doesn't play Doom these days ?

A potato can run it.

@Razieluigi

Get yourself a cheap Japanese Saturn
Kit it out with a Pico PSU and a Saroo, and youre good to go.

I'd prefer that Sega takes note of this and the demand and actually releases something like that themselves.

Instead re re re re re re re re re releasing the same tired megadrive games collection.

...like that will ever happen.

@Bunkerneath
Install an adblocker instead and tell all the ads to take a hike.

@-wc-

Most normies are too dumb and/or lazy for that.
They just want to turn the device on and start using it.
Anything else is "eh effort"

Drama, drama never changes.

Thats all i have to say really, gaming social media is becoming scummier
From infighting, to death threats to outright lying and stealing.

There is a reason why I don't have an social media garbage.
And i think i am better off for it.

And as usual a couple of unhinged vocal loonies have to ruin it for everybody else.

Robocop 3 was acclaimed ?
On what system ?
The megadrive and snes versions were garbage.

And now the phone needs to be restored.
It seems only right.

@sdelfin
Other cards worth considering are the venerable Geforce 1080
And if you really want the RTX route the 3000 series is the way to go because its not too expensive.
For RTX cards anyway.

I use a 3060 12 gig and so far I am quite happy with it.

@sdelfin

If your requirements are moderate you can manage with a Geforce GTX 1060 6 gig version

The GTX 980 which stil in some strange way holds its own

or a ATI Radeon RX 570 or an RX 580.

The Geforce 1660 managed to run Cyberpunk 2077 for me.

None of those should break the bank.
The RX 580 is one of the better budget cards especially at 8 gig.

@Axelay71
And just to be sure , here is the UK ps3 system software.
https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/support/hardware/ps3/system-software/

I don't know if it makes any difference, but might as well use the right software for the right region.

@Axelay71
The SSD install is dead easy.

The only other thing you need is a FAT 32 usb stick with the ps3 system software on there
Boot your ps3 with the SSD in there, it wil go in to recovery mode, and asks you if you want to reinstall the software.

And thats pretty much it.

I put a SSD in my ps3 mostly because of FUDD.
I'd rather play of a brand new SSD then a 750 gig HD that may or may not kick the bucket one of these days.

But games do benefit from the SSD
Gran Turismo 6 for example loads 30 seconds faster, even if it's still a full minute till you are in a race, from boot.

@Axelay71
I got a gaming PC with an RTX card and I dont really care about all that technical hoo-hah.
All i want is to be able to play my games hassle free.

Games shoudl just have good gameplay we keep going back to older titles because they weren't whored out to death.
Now all you do is buy the framework and are expected to cough up more for less and buy the DLC's
( ie the Sims 4)

It's all so very tedious, and I find myself caring less and less and just firing up games from the 360/ps3 era which is more then 14 years ago now.
( good lord)

My ps3 is kitted out with a 1tb SSD so its good to go.
Shame you can't do that with a xbox 360.
Or can you ?

@Dramlin @UK_Kev

This thing is a vaporware grift, no more no less.
If they actually show something hands on on a gaming convention then things might be different.

But the SMACHZ had working "prototypes" too.

For people wondering about that disaster

and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6A-qRbsazQw&pp=ygUGc21hY2h6

Not as deranged as the Amico which actually did release ...something, but still.

@StyrofoamCup
For me its the port of Samurai Shodown that shows what the 3DO can do.
And its still one of the machines better games.
If one doesn't mind ports the 3DO has a lot to offer.

@Axelay71
And gamers need to stop being mindless cattle.
The corporations keep getting away with their greed because gamers especially normie and casuals keep letting them get away with it by hoovering up all that's tossed at them.

And buy the DLC, and sink thousands in to micro transactions.
People keep buying the same garbage over and over on a yearly basis.

Its not just the corporations fault we keep letting them get away with it.

Somethig about this thing just feels off.
Can't put my finger on it but its feel like another SMACHZ debacle in the making.
But ive been proven wrong before.

None of these games do anything for me, but it's cool all the same they are there.
Blaze at least seems to give a damn about games and gaming.

I would have preferred Sega to put some actual effort in the anniversary.
An actual mini Dreamcast console.
Figureines or another DC game collection.

Anything but this low effort token gesture.

That is great news.
Some games like 40 Winks are diabolical to play with a D pad.

@Bod2019
Gaming has been going to hell in a handbasket for the past 10 years or so, getting worse every year.
With always online DRM,
Peace-meal predatory DLC,
Tacked on multiplayer garbage,
Predatory Micro Transactions
Unnecessary remasters and remakes of games not even 5 years old.
Games as a service.

The industry has become predatory, all it cares about is sucking your wallet dry, not delivering a good product.

It has come so to pass that retro gaming is starting to stop being a nostalgia throwback.
And an actual viable alternative to modern gaming.

This is a retro gaming website after all.
Currently I'd rather play on a Xbox 360and deal with all the bloom, then the garbage of modern "gaming" .

The PS5 Pro is going to cost 800 Euro in mainland europe as well.
Without disc drive.

And the 3DO actually was the latest and greatest in 1993,all the ps5 pro has to offer beyond devouring your wallet, is an iteration on the standard ps5.

And an LGR vid about DC Dork Norkem in 3 2 1....

This is actually one of those handhelds I might want.
Great form factor, huge screen.
Not gonna grab it at that price though.

Great another bloody one.
It uses the GB form factor and ...that's all I have to say about it really.

This handheld bus is getting really really crowded.

My nostalgia glands are not activated, though I am somewhat amused by the idea of trying to power a Hyperkin RetroN or Megadrive clone or Snes Mini via this thing.

Not 60 bux worth of amusement though.

@Deuteros
Powerbanks are just huge rechargeable batteries you carry with you for your phone or tablet or other gear that uses usb for power.
Nothing more really

This one just looks like an Snes.

Somebody tell Ashens about this.

@Lorfarius
Probably not.
Even the "bigger" third party ones at 1 whole MB tend to be paged in 4 blocks

Nes and Dreamcast ?
That's a bit of an odd pairing to develop for.

Bit steep.
But I have 8 VMU's they all beep at me, and they are fiddly and a hassle.
Wouldn't mind a newer solution so maybe I will try and grab this down the road.

Are these actual physical buttons connecting through blue tooth, or just pass through buttons hammering on glass ?

Cause if its the latter, it aint worth even a fiver.

@Gs69
Struck out with the Action Replay.
I decided to just go with the VGA patched version floating out around there.
Less hassle cause the quality of the hyperkin HDMI adapter is pretty good.

There is a version you can burn to disc to play on a normal Dreamcast.
The video quality is rougher then 1 grit sandpaper.

@Steel76
This is the third handheld featured on this site in a single day.
This niche isn't crowded anymore it's congested.
