@Fallingshadow Why not ? Resident Evil isn't a great unknown, it's one of the biggest horror titles out there. And that dead eyed zombie thumbnail tells you exactly what your gonna get.
@Azuris The oddest thing is that GOG has to push and convince Publishers. With all these re releases and collections doing the rounds you'd think a publisher would be half way interested.
@Zeebor15 A Japanese video game developer. They are responsible for among others, MRC, Fighters Destiny 1 and 2, The N64 version of Sim City 2000, Tokyo Extreme Racer, and Jade cocoon.
It's honestly just a romhack, not even a proper game. The only notable thing about it is that there are only a handfull of them and they go for an exorbitant price.
If anything its no more than a footnote and a flex for "collectors" cause no normal person would ever own any of these.
if there suddenly were thousands of them its : importance"would suddenly fade odd that.
Not quite.
I'm using Samuari Shodown as a reference
Y is A
X is Pause
The shoulder buttons do nothing
B and A are also kick and punch
Start pauses .
Let's see what it does in SF Turbo II
Select is start.
The shoulder buttons are punches.
Start is also a punch.
But so is Y.
A, B and X are kicks.
The convertor doesnt map buttons one on one.
From what i gathered it emulates that weirdo 6 button controller.
And it's layout changes for each game.
In most beat em ups you can remap the controls though.
But in other games, like Need For Speed, it's more of a puzzle.
@gingerbeardman Thwre is an even worse breed of games out there. They only play Fifa FC, COD, and Madden and nothing else. Just those 3 and then trade them in in the never ending annual cycle when the new one shows up.
I got the grey and purple one. The button layout is s bit funky since the 3DO controller is actually a 5 button controller. Or a 7 button, if you count the "start and select" buttons, but after a while you get used to it .
A proper Snes controller is just that much more better.
Not a fan of the genre in the slightest. Great to see the original, or at least a version of the original, to get a port to show everybody that' s wondering what all the fuss is about.
And what Rogue really is about. But I 'm gonna pass.
My saroo is also a black see through which fits nicely with my Skeleton Saturn.
The whole thing lights up like a christmas tree from the 80's , and it delights the 10 year old in me.
I'm all for quirky games as opposed to the usual shooty bang bang FPS, fussboll. Dork Souls lite rip off or the usual remasters and sequels to games made in the past decade or so.
"The director would tell me what he felt was the desired tone and rage for Princess Peach, and I proceeded to do various voices until they heard one that was a good fit."
Think that's supposed to read "range" Peach doesn't really sound very angry otherwise.
I never even knew who the voice actors were of this game, but its always nice to hear that 30 years on the people involved are still alive and well.
Not their fault the game and its cutscenes are uhm "speshul" nobody sets out to make something awfull. So let's just settle for campy.
@AJB83 I'm starting to drift away from moderncurrent gaming as well. It's become way too predatory along with dull sequels. If I stopped buying new games now, well im sorted for a decade at the very least.
@Gs69 I briefly considered that, but the problem is that none of the Amiga games mean anything to me. They are just titles and no more then that.
I got a massive backlog, with a 1200 games on Steam and Gog alone.
Starting at the ground floor with a system that is a total unknown to me , while i have a mountain of games to play just isn't very appealing to me.
I do have an Evercade though, maybe some Amiga collection will appeal to me there. I'm waitinghoping for ps1 games ot appear on that though.
@AJB83 Nah, there is so much on the Amiga that I wouldn't even know where to start. I know very little about the machine beyond that the 500 is the one to have. The 600 is a consolation price. The 1000 is decent. And the 3000 and 4000 make PD Saga look cheap.
The Amiga and all the other home computers ( C64, Spectrum, CPC, ST, MSX) were before my time.
And to be honest, I got so much to play as is, the Amiga is a rabbit hole that's easy to get lost in.
@PKDuckman Hobbies can over come speculators just look at comics baseball cards or collectible card games. It may take a crash or two, but eventually the speculator bubble will burst, and they will piss off to ruin some other hobby.
@Daggot
Considering what we usually deal with.
Price gouging ,
Obscene price tags,
Scarcity.
Stroppy ancient hardware,
Floppy analog sticks,
Leaking Caps
Dodgy graphics
Janky physics.
Moldy covers and booklets.
The Evercade comes off as a right good deal/package.

@phillai
Yeah, but not every gamer knows about that.
Or even has the know how.
All they want to do is play the game with the least amount of fuss.
Re: SNK Vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos Is Coming To Modern Platforms
Excellent.
I bought the Xbox version recently for less than a fiver , but getting long unavailable games out there again is never a bad thing.
So Capcom, what about Capcom Fighting Jam then ?

Or keep Re-buying GTA V for new platforms.
Re: Has Your SNES Pad Seen Better Days? Don't Worry, A Fix Is Coming

Yup.
It wasn't cheap but it works quite well

I got the grey and purple one.
The button layout is s bit funky since the 3DO controller is actually a 5 button controller.

Re: Has Your SNES Pad Seen Better Days? Don't Worry, A Fix Is Coming
@Sketcz
Or the shell, or the buttons.
I use my Snes controllers in an unusual way.
Thats to say hooked up via an adapter to my 3DO
Takes a bit of getting used too but its quite pleasant.

Re: Review: SAROO - A $60 Sega Saturn Flash Cart That's Worth Every Penny
@MondoWray
What kind of SD card are you using ?
My Saroo cant handle a 128 gig Sandisk but runs fine with a 32 and 64 gig Kingston
I am also not using the TPUnix firmware but Martinx72's firmware which is tweaked for better compatibility and other features.
https://github.com/martinx72/SAROO_Firmware/releases
Re: Review: SAROO - A $60 Sega Saturn Flash Cart That's Worth Every Penny
Got my hands on a Saroo.
After some fidgetting and using Martonx72's modded firmware not the "offical" one it works fine.
No hiccups so far.
It actually loads faster then some games ( Sega Rally is more response and i managed to improve my lap times)
There is also this thing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V82H_QWcl00
Which I like in concept but it's a hacked up proper Saturn console.
I'd rather the open source community tackled the idea of a hardware clone
Like the NuXT here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwzHurzTNTY&pp=ygUFbnUgeHQ%3D
My saroo is also a black see through which fits nicely with my Skeleton Saturn.
The whole thing lights up like a christmas tree from the 80's , and it delights the 10 year old in me.

Less loading for a start.

I'll boot up the Neo Geo Cd and suffer, like G did, though the loading times.

Having said that, if i were in the market it would be for this one because it has decent size screen, and isnt cramped looking.
So no doubt it wil cost as much as a ps5 or a copy of pd saga.
