MattMcmuscles ( the youtube channel in questions) is on a "quest"of sorts to find the worst beat em up.
The king of crap was Criticom until its been dethroned by Expect No Mercy.

He tackles most of the titles you cited.

Kasumi Ninja is ..uhm..special in a goofy fun sort of way.
Shaq Fu is ...Shaq Fu, not terrible not great either.

And I kind of want A Rise Of The Robots Just to see how terrible it is.
Clearly I am a masochist.

@KingMike
Sanyo 3DO indeed got a release
They float around on Evilbay,err Ebay.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/304931565337
https://www.ebay.ca/itm/354274773745

It looks like a VCR to me.

The 3DO really needs a reappraisal.
It might have been a failure back in the day but it has a decent sized library.
And while most of its best games are ports, they are still worth a go.

@Hank_Scorpio
It's from an old N64 magazine show casing Duke Nukem Zero hour ? ( the time travel one )
One of the screen shots had a snarky caption about sheriff Ted Nindo outlawing alcohol.

@27celsius When has that ever stopped Nintendo ?
They sharp their knives just on principle alone.

I got a Hyperkin Supaboy gold and black.
It works for me.
Not too fond of handheld gaming as it is.

Nu/zombie Atari considering the proud Atari tradition of being a dumpster fire then.

So lets hope sheriff Ted Nindo* ( Nintendo) won't ninja it eh ?

( * wonder who wil get that reference)

@Axelay71
All we can do is hope for the best.
Maybe Gladmort does well enough on the Neo Cd for others to take notice.

@GhaleonUnlimited

Ata guess some people don't want to deal with the rigamarole of Ebay, importing from different countries, import duties, 3 months wait time.

@Axelay71
Yeah I hear you there.
The most common excuse is that the Neo Geo Cd load times are abysmal.
And they are , but I take a 30 second wit over having to pay triple for a game.

At a guess it might be because the Neo CD sold even less then the AESMVS and its a tiny niche within an already tiny niche.

Never been a fan of Shinobi, the difficulty spikes hard and early.
But this is still excellent news, it wil hopefully showcase the abilities of the Saturn

@Bonggon5
Like how a lot of people that buy brand new vinyl records just to use them as a display piece ?

Reminds me that I should unwrap that new copy of Breakers I got for the NeoGeo CD.

@gingerbeardman

It's almost always FOMO.
If not FOMO then It's consoooomers ( those are the type of "collectors" that line their walls with un opened funko flops, in case they lose their so called value )

Some holy necro Batman, but I've honestly not been impressed by my wired Strikerdc pad.
The triggers feel flimsy and lac tactile feedback.
They squeek.
The right one often jams
But worse of all the controller randomly refuses to recognizes my VMU's, which the official controller has no issue with.

I might have a dodgy one, but the strikerdc pad is a bit of a failure.

"It doesn't even work on my original JP FZ-1," says Twitter user @theZackcat. "The quality of the CD-Rs are so bad you can see through them."

Far be it from me to defend Limited Run, but I have a bit of an issue with that quote.
A lot of optical media is see through its how they work
I got a Platinum CDR right now, and i can see my fingers through it.
It works fine

Some pressed Xbox 360 games i got are see through.
Even most Paramount Blu rays are see through.
And thats without holding them to the light, they practically become invisible then.

The point i am trying to make is a see through disc isn't automatically garbage.

A company charging you up the ass for a prettied up CDR however is garbage.
Hopefully this wil bite them on the ass

Wonder if this can be made to run on other versions of NIx.

@WileyDragonfly Maybe they can annoy the pants off Raspberry Pi owners.

Possibly souped up console hardware, with an dual analog controller, to be better suited to tackle the 32 bit and later games.

From what I recall of Mad Catz controllers they were either atrocious or serviceable, with nothing in between.

Will this thing be unobtanium though ?
Or more easily available ?

@Spider-Kev

The "video thing" for the controller is the memory card ( VMU)
Dreamcasts from other regions shouldn't be a problem with a boot disc
The Dreamcast is hilariously easy to spoof and to get to run all sorts of games.
Even more so with a GDemu
The powercable is just a standard figure 8 and av cables are available on Amazon.

No ! Never !
I just played by the rules and got an import adapter with the few import games i played.

Excellent.
A brand new game for the Neo Geo Frontloader, i recently bought.

@PixelMist

I did lose money actually
I lost all my investments when my Wii was wiped out.
Kinda soured me on Nintendo for a while.

@PixelMist

Yes, kinda.
i played Nosgoth on steam an MMO.
it was abandoned and shut down, and is utterly gone

I lost ALL my VC purchases when my Wii died.

@Ajent

Makes too much sense so they wont listen
God forbid Sega has any sense left, or Konami.

@TheAwesomeBowser

More like fanboy logic, where everything that is not their chosen one is double plus ungood.

@PiXeLSteF

The pricing of the games is pretty fair, I expected them to be twice as expensive.
The usual Atari suspects I find off putting though.
How many time scan the same old Atari games be trotted out again and again ?

And which Atari is this anyway.

@Yogsoggoth

Wouldn't that comparison just be to show the relative size ?
Most on here have an NX we know how big it is.

And this is a very niche product, I doubt it wil sell tens of millions units as well.
But it could very well do well for itself.

Its all about the software and the nostalgia.
The market no doubt is there.

I most likely wont be picking it up, got enough to be getting on with
Dug out my Dreamcast recently.

@ThanosReXXX

Same.
Couldn't agree more.

Admittedly I have a soft spot for Sega.
But i go where the good games are
If there is a game I like and want, I wil get it irregardless what platform it is for.

( Assuming I have said platform )

But I have always had a passing interest in the PC Engine.
And it was always way too expensive
So this will do just fine for me down the line.

@ThanosReXXX

Fanboyism.
Since when does fanboyism make sense ?
Beyond: "what i support is good, anything else is ugly and double plus ungood".

With all this corona going on, I wont be getting it for a while.
Oh well, not as if i don't have a huge backlog anyway.

He left one hell of a legacy behind though.

@AtlanteanMan

And they can't even get Sanic right anymore.

@nmanifold

Totally.
There was some hope after the release of Virtua Racing.
But it's been dire ever since.

@grewupnintendo

Or anything other then the usual suspects.
I doubt we wil ever get Model 2, Saturn or Dreamcast games.

I'd rather Sega explores their arcade history by releasing more of their 90's arcade games on modern systems.

@DrDaisy

Cause its you know a game, that might appear on Nintendo's PLATFORM ?

That too tenuous a connection?

@BustahWolf

You mean all those other games that are not made by Nintendo but are on their platforms ?
Would be a pretty damn small line up of articles, if it was about Nintendo only.

Guess you never heard of Sega Ages either.

@derickw69

That's actually a lot less then I expected.
I expected $499 and up.

So how much does that thing cost exactly ?

The least we can do is spare him a thought.
And remember how fragile and transient we all are.
52 is way too young.

N64 Magazine was also awesome.
Wish I stil had mine .

..Well damn 52 is way too young.
I still have a few issues of Super Play lying around should reread them in remembrance of Brookes at the very least.

Video gaming magazines were so much more fun, for lack of a better word, back then.
They had so much more personality.

@jobvd

Why should I have to check Youtube ?
It's not in the article not in the screenshots or on the box.
There is nowhere any mention of Metal Slug.

Unless you mean it's been hacked already.

@jobvd

Where ?
Cause the article only says 20 games.
There is a list of 20 games.
And the only Metal Slug screen shot is on the mini arcade, in the background.

Well it's cool and all and a huge improvement but they should have released this from the get go instead of all those mini arcade's

@Shiryu

Wait death stranding launches today ?

..huh
I'd rather have the Capcom logo with an arcade machine in it anyway.
