@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.

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
( 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.
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.
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.
@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*.
@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.
@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.
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.
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.

@Sketcz I have Suikoden 1 somewhere. An NTSC copy.
With JRPGS i usually use cheats, action replays, exploders and trainers to get through the *****. I want to experience the uh experience and story. Not the tedious mind numbing grind. Or sink 60 hours in a 20 hour game.
To me the term JRPG is synonymous with mind numbingly boring grindfest. They may have moved on from that, but the ones I played were indeed grindfests. Generally speaking I loath grinding, and as such never got in to JRPGs.
@TeamBigRig This is totally anecdotal, but older flatscreen TV's do seem to be better for older consoles. Maybe because they were new technology at the time and manufacturers were trying to convince consumers to buy em. Or just closer to the era of CRT tv's.
I have an LG from 2008 and it has a ridiculous amount of ports, from component to hdmi, to vga to scart to av. And I never noticed any lag or whatever. Be a sad day when it goes.
Cool, but I'm gonna pass on this. My solder-fu is weak.
I also prefer to keep consoles, especially if they are expensive ones, stock. And hook them up with external solutions. Another owner can hack em up if they like, but it wont happen under my watch.
Played the beta ( which I cant get to run anymore for some reason ) It's visually so far removed from Sega Rally its almost impossible to make comparisons. But its still amazing to behold.
Here is hoping not just Sega is willing to play ball, but Toyota and Lancia as well.
@eltomo Got to be honest, I don't know if they are knock offs. But Saroo is an opensurce project so anybody can make one. Technically there are no knocks off just poor quality and better quality ones.
If anything the Ebay ones are less of a risk then Alibaba, I suppose.
@-wc- Why not get back in to the Saturn ? I manage to get back in to the Saturn, after i foolishly sold it all off in 2019. The Saturn doesnt have to be a money sink You can buy a Japanese Saturn, and cheap Japanese games. Most of the best Saturn games are pick up and play.
Or kit it out with an ODE and never have to bother with discs again. Or get the saroo or pseudo kai. There are so many options to get back in to the Saturn. There are wireless controllers and HDMI adapters that make the machine think its hooked up with its component cables.

It's fine. She looks like a normal actual human being in the new design. Like somebody that can blend in like a spy should. And not like the raver with dubious fashion sense from Zero.
The new design takes its cues from the original render for the N64. The size and shape of her face and jawbones, her hair style, the basic shape of her nose.
