Re: For The First Time In A Decade, A Nintendo World Championships Gold NES Cart Is Up For Sale

KitsuneNight

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.

Re: Has Your SNES Pad Seen Better Days? Don't Worry, A Fix Is Coming

KitsuneNight

@Sketcz

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.

The mapping is actually also in the manual here

@Sketcz
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.
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.

Re: Review: SAROO - A $60 Sega Saturn Flash Cart That's Worth Every Penny

KitsuneNight

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

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.

Re: Interview: Say Hello To Jocelyn Benford, The First Person To Give Princess Peach A Voice

KitsuneNight

There is a typo on the article.

"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.

Re: Metro Siege Is A Fantastic New Beat 'Em Up Coming To The Amiga

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.
