@JMX I’d assume They’re not on PC since MAME exists and people who use it wouldn’t have much reason to buy arcade archives titles.

As for Xbox I’d assume it’s because of modern Microsoft’s nonexistent popularity in Japan and the fact Xbox is beginning to flounder as a company likely isn’t helping with that.

This game is rly fun! Plays sorta like SEGA’s eswat with the themeing and levels only with wild guns styled background shooting segments thrown in. I wish the game had more boss fights but it’s still a lot of fun!

I already got a Saturn mini, it’s called a computer with retroar-

Lmfao like this is gonna go well for them

Funny it’s called Duckstation cause this mf’s actin like a real life Daffy Duck💀

the original x8 was always one of my least favorite mega man games due to the incessent overeliance on annoying unfun gimmicks, and this fangame seems to get rid of all of that in favor for a more tightly crafted platforming focused game so im all in! No zero also isnt the end of the world to me since i dont feel hed work well with this games shooting centric level design.

IMO M2 are actually BETTER at making unique games than just porting old ones. Fantasy zone II DX, Space Harrier 2 DX, the entire rebirth trilogy, haunted castle revisisted, super bomberman r, gg aleste 3, they are a golden team for remaking and revitalizing old ips and i wish they were given more work in that regard.

im starting to warm up to how this looks tbh. obviously the og pixel art looks better but this still doesn't look bad, it's certainly better than cheap 3d models or fugly pre rendered sprites lol

Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if the gwimbly episode from smiling friends/oneyplays in general had smth to do with this lol, helps the remaster looks amazing too, it’s honestly the new gold standard imo for how remastering 3d games should look!

@X68000 snes version is phenomenal barring the occasional slowdown, and the arcade version COULD'VE been good but the fact it has no continues whatsoever while also having typical extreme arcade difficulty just ruins it for me. There's a borderline between a game being hard and a game just being not enjoyable to beat, idk what they were thinking pulling that crap on an arcade cabinet.

@Poodlestargenerica or the rights to a series get bought by some goblinish stingy douche like the ppl at piko or interplay who wage legal war against anyone doing anything with the ip that isn’t them and refuse to do anything with it and just sit on it forever like the ceo from smiling friends.

@Nischenliebhaber yea compared to some of the other crap konami put to arcades like super contra, gradius 3 and rock'n rage, the japanese version of haunted castle is fairly tolerable in comparison even if it's still insanely ugly

@gojiguy I’m almost positive it’s M2. They did the previous collection and the brief footage we saw gives me HUGE rebirth vibes

“The worst Castlevania game is getting a remake”

WAIT NO WAY THEYRE REMAKING LEGENDS?!?!?!

The fact we were gonna get symbiote Peter but couldn’t because they didn’t have time due to adding this mf into the game will always piss me off

Also that unused animation of him imagining an infant and getting a nosebleed. I hope whoever animated that got their hands caught in a printing press even for Japanese humor standards that is just VILE

@MontyCircus better yet he transforms into the big blue thing but after jumping once he falls through the floor of the room and instantly dies😂

Love how ppl are angry about it being directly inspired by Castlevania as if Konami could do it better themselves let alone do it well at all😂 this looks like 100x the game grimoire of souls will ever be

oh jesus christ this is a terrible idea

No reason to buy this when retroarch is free and already emulates Saturn games damn near perfectly lol

It’s hysterical how good all these look and then beat just looks like a bloated piñata😂😂😂😂😭😭😭

Also while I don’t like limited run they don’t straight up lie to their customers like the scumf@$(s at ININ did with those turrican anthologies and being “”””””””””””physical exclusive”””””””””””””” only to release them on eshop the day after I finally receive mine from strictly limited after waiting nearly 2 years. Idc how bad limited run is, they at least won’t pull any of that snake oil salesmen garbage with what they release.

This is really cool and I love that they have the targa prototype included! But at the same time, I really hope this has a cheat menu or something because losing your weapon power when you die was insanely annoying and always prevented me from enjoying the game to the fullest since your base shot is so agonizingly weak😭

@ZZalapski If the seller wanted all that money they could’ve sold it to an archival foundation or museum, someone who’d actually benefit from having it by preserving it, and if the buyer was saving up money for it there are about 9 billion better things you could use 50,000 on, such as donating to charity, or buying something genuinely useful, or commissioning artists, or saving it up for future uses in life, not storing an important historical item on some dusty shelf like it’s a mounted elk head for christs sake. This mindset is like saying the burning of Alexandria was a good thing because “What else would they do with all that fire? Weapons are made to be used, after all”.

We need to normalize robbing people honestly

oh well, its no big deal to me, we can always just wait for the next internal leak to hit SEGA for unused prototypes and concepts😈🤷‍♂️

I swear billytime is carrying the entire genesis library over his back when it comes to these improvement patches, like almost every single game on the system has been accounted for either via an sram patch or an improvement overhaul, it's INSANE!

the unreleased snes version of this is one of the worst games of all time imo, after the first stage it spams hazards and enemies that come at you from off screen and instantly kill you with no fair logical way for you to react to them on a level that would make most kaizo developers wince. Normally I feel a little bummed out when a game gets cancelled close to completion, but I'm so glad that pure garbage never made it to store shelves and can completely understand why it was cancelled.

strider2strider2strider2strider2 PLEASEEE PLEAASE STRIDER 2 SHBHDDSF

GOG

GIVE ME STRIDER 2 AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!!!!!!!!

if they seriously try only putting two games on this compilation and nothing else im gonna be REALLY mad lmfao. Especially if it goes for the highway robbery prices other pc engine compilations go under nowadays.

hopefully this is 95% complete in the same sense the snes games for the shadow and batman revenge of the joker are where they have proper final bosses and endings cause this looks great! id love to play it if i can properly beat it!

@RadioHedgeFund I could list like 5,000 2d platformers better than sonic 2 off the top of my head especially with the nosedive in quality it takes after mystic cave zone LMAO.

@KoopaTheGamer imo it’s always down to how the games punish you for dying that can make or break it, it’s why I usually do what I described the comment above lol, it makes 90% of them a million times better😉

I always try and patch unlimited lives codes onto the roms of most games I play since imo limited continues add literally nothing to the difficulty aside from making it so you can’t learn and adapt to the games challenges comfortably. I’m so glad that for the most part modern retro inspired indie games go the route of either giving you unlimited lives or no continue limit since it’s simply the better way to design your game.

Unless it’s a Treasure thing where you gain more of them as you play until they eventually become infinite that is a genuinely goated system that is the one exception I will make to all this lol.

Places like this need to get robbed more tbh. Anyone who thinks a game is worth any price above 60 dollars is up their own arse lmao.

aside from 4 this series is just like perfection man. not a single entry that isn't tip top peak quality and im glad its had such a huge impact on people and is still going.

they arent erasing their own history by taking down roms their erasing their own history by providing legendarily bad services for their older games with absorbent prices nowadays that dont even include the whole lineup of their own d@^^m games and in the n64's case especially barely function due to how badly the nso emulator for it was slapped together lmfao. Like it is 2nd hand embarassing how bad the n64 emulation on that service is oh my lord

GANBARE GOEMON 2 ON SNES ITS GANBARE GOEMON 2 ON SNES GANBARE GOEMON 2 ON SNES IS THE ONLY ANSWER TO THIS

this looks rly good so far, imo it stands out already in this state from all the other modern indie beat em ups that just try doing the original final fight but in a modern setting lmfao

Tbf aside from the sunsoft genesis game and the weird arcade cabinet almost all of Superman’s games have been some of the worst ever lol. Death and return comes close to being good but it ruins that by having like no variety and being insanely frustrating.

@KingMike also the fact the main spokesperson for the company is a raving lunatic almost on the same level as the joker who's completely detatched from reality and likely racist lmfao

once again, i hope fonz's arms get run over by a dump truck

this is so lame lmfao, like this is literally just a game you'd see in chuck e cheeses just with castlevania characters slapped onto it instead of spongebob

@Zeebor15 I wouldn’t like this but I’d respect it

If I ever meet Fonzie in real life I’m decking him in the chest

As long as the double jump actually works properly this time I’m all in! Also hope to see one or two original levels since that would be fun

“Guy who dresses up as sonic for fame and appearances while actually being a shady murderous thug behind the scenes” would actually make for a pretty banger Sonic villain ngl

Tbh this is just kinda the thing with gamefaqs in general. A ton of sweaty nerds who are way too pretentious and gatekeepey about the games they play, one time I came across a Sengoku 3 FAQ where the author went in depth about how he’d spend like hours of his life everyday hunched over an arcade cabinet for the game just playing it over and over for hours and growling at people who come near him like a Batman villain or smth, and don’t even get me started on the board forums😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

CrApple will do literally anything to make their devices more “safe” except for actually put things in place to keep them safe and just limit games and apps from being possible instead. They really wanted to inplement good security they’d make it so I’d stop getting @‘ed by crypto ai nft bots on Instagram every 5 &@$!ing seconds>:/

ratalaika are so good when it comes to their rereleases, i keep sayin this but people should be going to them for console stuff instead of limited run or ESPECIALLY m2. They always add great quality of life features while also runnning the game in an almost completely perfect state, more ppl need to talk about the miracle work theyve done with gleylancer, turrican, gynoug and this series.
