@Guru_Larry That's awesome mate. One of my friends also has a portfolio of storyboard sketches from the Super Mario Bros. Super Show. No cels in that but it's still pretty unique and fun to look at!

@Guru_Larry That would be awesome - but no. I own a cell from Rockman 8.

Had Joe asked, I would have contributed to the cost. But he didn't ask. That's just how it goes I guess.

@N64-ROX I was wondering that too. HOW do they expect people to play this with only a D-pad??

Is it still only for Chrome though? Because that makes me sore every time I try to use one of these web apps only to be told my browser isn't compatible.

@Sketcz Viacom. That says it all really.

@Coalescence Amen.

Given how poorly the Retron GX runs, and my general compatibility experiences with Hyperkin consoles outside of that, I can't even imagine them attempting the complexity of Nintendo 64. Even Analogue only got it 95% right. This is one they should steer far away from.

@hste For me "hate" isn't the word. There's so little in life I hate I don't want to use the term lightly. "Immensely disappointed by their lack of transparency and poor communication" sums it up better. They still make good products, but they abuse FOMO for things like this, and stick it to the early adopters who waited without having these kinds of choices the first go-around. It creates consumer distrust and ill will.

@hste Perhaps I did. I still agree with the criticism of Analogue, even as a purchaser of the Analogue 3D myself.

@cyxceven Couldn't agree more.

Their website and their email say two different things. One says "by Christmas" and the other says "shipping in January."

No better summary of AI has been written or spoken to date.

If you can't get a classic like Space Invaders right, what are you even doing? No buys.

I cover music by day so I find his antics amusing but YOUUUUUU know if you buy anything from him you're (A.) getting ripped off or (B.) never getting it at all. JonTron'll tell ya. Rerez'll tell ya. Soulja Boy won't tell ya.

@SuperKMx That wasn't my point, and since someone else made a similar comment, I'm sure you're aware of that or you would have said it to them too.

That "someone" is Tito from Macho Nacho Productions. He's an amazing guy and deserves to be mentioned by name, or at least, by his channel's name.

Known huckster disavows a known grift, and as they said in Chrono Trigger, the future refused to change.

The tariffs in other countries must be better than they are in the United States. For me this is the year buying Retroids and Anbernics came to an end.

Trash that's not "trash." I approve!

My most requested feature is a clip on light so I don't have to put a cave mining helmet on to play it.

Here to report I got the same email. I'm happy to split my order into two so I can get the SuperStation sooner and the Dock later, even if I pay more in shipping... and yet simultaneously irked that I +can't+ change my order until October 7th? Why not just tell us about this on October 7th then?

@Lowdefal That would explain why they're so awesome. Also yes you're right Dave has made a few cameos since leaving full time, I should have mentioned that. Thank you!

@hisownsidekick It's a really good channel. Used to be two guys, Joe and Dave, but Dave left amicably in 2019 to focus on his family life. Joe does retrospectives like "Games That Didn't Leave Japan" or "Best Arcade Conversions" and the like, always with tongue-in-cheek humor plus the occasional bonus skit at the end (Mega 64 style). He does all the editing himself and considering the amount of 3D renders and cutaways he uses it's super impressive.

You can't rage against the machine when you use it to design your own.

Let's see, I've got a Playdate coming in the mail... you're teasing me with a Sam & Max game for it... OF COURSE I WANT THIS TO HAPPEN. ^_^

@MontyCircus After all these years someone finally finished the joke for me. Mad respect! And yes I'm all up in the game n s**t, inebriated, strayed from Light's original plan, I deviated.

Should I have to say I can't wait to pre-order it?

As Pharoahe Monch once said, "Y'ALL KNOW THE NAME!"

@Guru_Larry My sentiments exactly. This is a dead IP and they're mining for a nostalgia that doesn't exist.

My one and only gripe about this system is that I wanted the translucent blue and it was sold out before I could place an order. Other than that every bit of news that drips out here or through Pixel Cherry Ninja makes me smile!

@avcrypt That's just plain foolish on their part then. I'd prefer to see people pay for the game, I think it's worth it, but they can't be surprised at this outcome. Perhaps they should have waited to sell it that way until the Genesis cart was out or secured it in a better way than this. **shrug**

I'm not saying it's right that the game got pirated — far from it — but if they left a unencrypted rom inside the Steam folder, and simply sold it with an emulation layer to use on Steam, exactly what did they expect would happen? Are they actually that naive?

I understand why some backers might be chuffed, but giving money to a Kickstarter is always a risk, and giving it to someone to run a barcade in the current economic climate is riskier still. I'm not excusing any lack of transparency on Peter's part, but I think some people assumed too much and reviewed the idea too little before handing money to someone they like on YouTube — then took it personally that it didn't work out. No matter how you feel about it attacking him or his family or threatening him over it is unacceptable and vile.

I'd be lying if I said this shocked me because this was in the back of my head from the beginning. At this point I'm happier buying things that are branded "C64" which carry the spiritual ethos of the platform without the messy trademark baggage.

I bought their last game and follow them on social media so suffice it to say I'm a fan and happy to see the progress on this release!

If I'm being honest the signal-to-noise ratio on anything Palmer is associated with has become tiresome. That's in no way an endorsement of his war profiteering, but I almost think it's a known quantity at this point, much like Elon Musk being a right wing fascist corpo schmuck. People who buy a Telsa know who they are dealing with. Same for ModRetro. There's no such thing as ethical capitalism in the end anyway, just less or more skin crawling, and they are both on the "give me hives" end but it is what it is they've gamed the algorithm to keep people talking good or bad.

Well this has gone places hasn't it? First we rally behind him for the Italian government overstepping their bounds, then we learn the guy was himself selling off his handhelds with roms loaded on them. Brother you're a lot closer to the doorstep of La Polizia than China is, so you brought that one on yourself. I don't think anybody should sell something pre-loaded with roms, but they clearly aren't going to China to haul Anbernic executives back to Italy to face charges, and good luck even trying. He made himself an easy target.

@ShawnsterOZ There's a custom core that you can run it on in Arch, and by Pixel Cherry Ninja's account, it is 100% complete-able even though it occasionally crashes. I'm sure those bugs can be ironed out with time.

Every seller other than Funstock was sold out when I read this, but I took the plunge despite having to pay for international shipping... and it already shipped so I think it's worth it. Perhaps the timing was good since I just got a Neo Geo CD console in the last month, so this is the right time to hit me in the feels.

I first learned of his passing this morning from DJ Slope and my heart broke. Hopefully there's a "legacy feature" on YouTube so his content can remain up without somebody hacking it and replacing it with crypto crap. There are a lot of great documentaries there to watch. RIP Pat.

I reviewed this game five years ago and confidently stated (due to the high resale price) "I will never own this one and you will never own this one." I'm glad there's now an affordable and quality made version!

"Secondhand market" is code for "I will never be able to afford these Metall figures at eBay scalper prices" which is why I hate SDCC exclusives.

I live in the Midwest where the game is played at every tailgate and even here someone will snicker when the word CORNHOLE is said just because of the anatomical implications. I realize "Bean Bag Toss" would sell nothing to no one but CORNHOLE is an objectively bad name for a game, especially given the "family friendly" pitch they made from the start.

I hope at some point there's an iPhone app for emulating keitai games as that seems like the perfect way to play them (though I'd settle for Android).

I'd shell out for a set and I don't even have a Barcode Battler — I just think they look cool AF. I know a certain video game author who would too.

I realize if I had a 3D printer I could "download" and recreate these toys, but I have neither the space nor the budget for one, and even if both were not a limitation I still wouldn't do it? It's not a rabbit hole I'd go down. Now if someone offered full printed sets for sale, that would be my jam, but I'm sure Nintendo ninjas would stomp that like a Goomba.

I never got to watch Bandersnatch before it was delisted, but I've seen the doc referenced here, and I'm glad it has been preserved for more people to watch. I don't blame Imagine for dreaming big (it's built into their name) but it's still unintentionally hilarious to see them gamble on something beyond their ability to deliver and double down despite rushing head long into a brick wall.

$80 for a Blu-Ray? No thanks, Samuel!

Arbitrary expiration dates on games **** me off. I would have happily kept playing Mario 35 offline against CPU opponents. Taking away something you enjoy for no reason other than "limited time only" is bull****.

All's well that ends well - I'm happy Daniel got his channel back and also happy he's going to stop covering Alejandro. As he said in his thank you video, the guy is a mess and needs help, and putting a spotlight and attention on him for every crazy thing he says or does only gives him what he wants. SuperSega or SuperFPGA or whatever he calls it these days is never going to happen.
