Yeah I don't get why they didn't announce a controller replica alongside the headset. Like, bundle the two together and they could better justify the $100 price tag.

@breach187 history is funny like that

I'll admit, I'm more fascinated by this thing than most; it feels like one of those "alternate universe consoles" you see online or something, like "What if Atari did the SEGA Nomad but for the 2600?" and they actually went and did that, surprisingly well, too. The controller setup, the color scheme and even the size and form factor all convey that idea quite effectively I'd say.

@The_Nintendo_Pedant I dunno, I kinda like the style, it's refreshing to see a solid variety of colors on a console that aren't black, white and a miniscule amount of a primary color.

Nintendo fans only have one joke and it keeps getting unfunnier

Now all we need is a new Strider.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but aren't they killing what was literally the draw of Android?

@sbeng135 they updated the FAQ to clarify that they only changed 10 small lines in the FIRST SEASON. Even linking to a more detailed Steam page that highlights the specific line changes. The second and third season remasters don't change any lines at all. But I get the impression that you didn't actually play the remasters, so you probably didn't know that.

@jmbenetti I know some people don't care for 'em(heck, I'm still a little mixed on Thimbleweed's ending), but I like them a lot. Especially Return's ending. I think Ron and Dave handled that perfectly.

@jmbenetti it's a good thing his games don't have those endings then!

@sbeng135 oh brother. Not this nonsense again. Find something new to complain about instead of dredging up the same tired(and inaccurately presented) argument.

Thanks for the reminder that Nicalis sucks.

Cute, but I doubt it'll be that impressive--

WITCHCRAFT!!! BURN IT AT THE STAKE!!!

@axelhander "Blah blah blah, the screen's not lit, QED it's terrible for that alone" and yet it's done a better job justifying its existence better than say, the flipping Evercade.

Playdate, PC, Game.Com, doesn't matter as long as I get to solve puzzles and administer violently ironic justice with a sociopathic lagomorph.

@slider1983 Seconded. I think that would the most interesting one to remake given its status as the sorta "black sheep" of the trilogy.

I don't care for the remake in the slightest but it is pretty neat that they went out of their way to get Sherman back for Pac-Man years after 3. He was to Pac-Man what Charles Martinet was to Mario, and it's nice that Namco recognized that enough to have Sherman reprise the role for this.

"we have Rare Replay at home"

@MARl0 I have yet to play it but I was spoiled by THAT part, and lemme tell you, after THAT part, I never wanna see anyone say "Nintendo doesn't care" ever again.

Is it really that hard to make a proper clicky thumbstick for this kind of thing?

Great little animation. Reminds of this commercial, anyone else?

Eh, close enough. Welcome back 3D Classics.

A tragedy. Alongside Mix 'n Mojo, that was my go-to site for point n' click news.

@PinballBuzzbro wait, didn't the loading screen patent expire back in 2015?

YEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

Game was already shaping to be a banger and now they've got two banger composers

I'm amazed that the stupid thing even has a stable present. Still don't see the point of it tbh.

God forbid people with brains actually make things without needing to rely on machine learning

@bring_on_branstons I just want them to announce anything game related at this point - info on the the new one, an enhanced port of the OG, maybe they'll finally announce a port of Future - I'm just desperate, man.

Maybe it'd fare better in a game of Wii Chess.

@MikeP I dunno, I don't think it was THAT bad. Soundtrack was pretty great at least.

I couldn't contribute much but I hope this project goes well.

@Andee or Future at the very least

At this point it feels like people are looking for any opportunity to dog on the stupid thing regardless of whether or not it's a truly significant issue.

A garish CRT filter is not worth getting worked up over.

I changed mine at the beginning of the year, so I'm not too worried.

Though I do need to get a new adapter for the thing...

@shiromar Yeah, but is there even a build of that version available, though?

@shiromar sir, that is a GameCube game.

If it's so great, why doesn't it have a Select button

Can Wayforward seriously partner up with another publisher now? Fangamer, iam8bit, LITERALLY ANYONE OTHER THAN LRG.

Cool, I guess. Probably not gonna use it. I ain't a big "achievements" guy.

@frogproject maybe try running it through a native emulator instead?

The claims are hollow until they actually act on them.

Honestly at this point we oughta let Hamster handle the Namco Museums.

Not their first slam into the mouse business - they did something similar with the N30 Mouse a few years back. This one however seems a lot more practical.

@Deuteros no because the GB screen is green

@-wc- Eh, I think Alucard should be allowed a few more centuries of beauty rest. Besides, I think Soma filled his shoes pretty well in the Sorrow duology.

@-wc- I'm down to get it ported to modern systems, but does SotN really need a direct follow-up?

Based Blackley.

@Guru_Larry yeah, I realized that a bit later after writing that comment. Still, a guy can dream, can't he?

And the monkey's paw finger curled...

@-wc- I think it's less about morality and more about not wanting to rob a bank in order to play it.

...But with the Switch 2's prices, what's the difference? HEYOOOOO
