@Tasuki Glad I am not the only one guilty of buying for multiple patforms. Recently bought Spelunky on PS3 which I already had for Switch/PC. There's also the pleasure of buying a digital game on PS3 in 2022...
Suikoden 2 is a favorite from my college days. I replayed both on RG351V last year so no interest in this port but at least they seem to have put a little effort in this and it will be fullscreen; there's nothing sadder to me than playing a 4:3 game on a 16:9.
@Belmont Agreed, I only wish the Steamdeck had a smaller form factor (I hope the next iterations do). It was actually my first choice but I was Q2 and got lucky with Ayn.
Also with OG hardware, lugging cartridges is a chore. I still have Vita and 3ds with a hundred cartridges apiece for which I don't really have an emulation option and I'd do away with both in a blink if I could put my libraries on a SD card or SSD.
Hard to justify the price in a world where you can get a RG351v for 110$ or a Myoo mini for 80 and do away with the hassle of lugging cartridges around (unless ones enjoys the hassle of course).
I liked 7/6/12/15 and I'll reserve judgment on X (haven't really played it yet).
8 was a major letdown and 9 just didn't click (2 disappointments in a row at the time, too much for my student's wallet).
1&2 I just grinded the hell of when it was released on gba.
Also love the tactics series and 13 I forgot existed until now which says a lot I guess although I liked it better than 8/9...
Yes, definitely the most important home port and one of the most important games for the console. I have definite memories of going the mall and seeing the game for the first time. It was playing on a demo screen next to a full row of videotapes for an erotic movie called "Leather Dreams", just the thing to sear the memory into the brain of a 13 year old boy.
I went with "I don't care" which is exactly my feeling. I have both PS3 and 360 and it never crossed my mind whether it's retro or not, I just enjoy the game.
Hope it comes out before Christmas, I got the first one for my brother who is not very tech savvy and it was a hit. I hope they get more indie devs onboard. Classics are great but recent games would be a nice complement.
Handheld emulators for me. I only care about playing the games and I try to keep as minimalist a place as I can. I ditched all game boxes along the way and keep my - hundreds of - PS3/360/One discs in organizers. One thing I can't stand is playing 4/3 on a 16/9 screen so everything up to PS1 I keep on my RG351MP&V. For the rest I use the Ayn Odin Pro and I also have my VITA and 3DS on the side. Everything other than the cds fits neatly into a plastic box.
@Gamecuber Same Xbox One S / Switch setup here plus a decent PC (and the sh*tload of older consoles too) and feeling quite the same. It does not even look like the Series X/S // PS5 generation has started as there isn't a single game that I must absolutely play that I can't get with my current setup.
Rage and R4 were both real good on the PS1. I still dabble occasionally on my RG351 but my fav is R7 on ps3. Heck I'll fire up the old girl and give it a whirl. Also had good fun with R:Racing Evolution on the Ayn Odin Pro.
Damn, things move fast. Wanted to recommend a great store near Super Potato but it's now a World Mobile on google maps. I was lucky to come in during a sale and scored a lot of PS3/vita games for such an insane price I asked the cashier if there was not a mistake. Google maps also shows the creepy maids are still crowding the streets (if you went anywhere near Super Potato you know what I am talking about) though, so some things stay the same.

Handheld emulation all the way. RG351V + Ayn Odin Pro meet all my needs.

Re: Capcom vs. SNK 3? Both Companies Want To Make It Happen, Says SNK Producer
That would be awesome, still playing SNKvsCapcom from time to time along with SVC Chaos on RG351. Loved the SNK take on capcom characters.

@Gs69 Damn, forgot about these they are real good too although I tend to go outrun 2006 on psp.

@Axelay71 @Gerald Forget about the suitcase. Just go to the post office, it's easier in the end.

@roylaza Meant to comment the same. For great justice.

Already love my Ayn Odin Pro, can't wait for PC devices to find the right price/performance/battery life balance.
