Not using disks was the smartest thing Nintendo did at the time. Loading times were nonexistent, and the console didn't have to rely on prerendered backgrounds like the weaker disc based systems, so that wasn't even an issue. This whole story shows that square had incorrect vision of what could be done on a cartridge, of course they didn't know that at the time and had to make a decision.
@webcasualty Basically what I originally said. You can really tell who is willing to rip people off for profit based on this comments section. The idea that someone should throw away a quarter of a million dollars to follow ebays seller policy is ludicrous.
It is a truly terrible movie, but I loved it when I was a kid, and Raul Julia's M Bison still holds up pretty well imo. Casting a German as Guile was a mistake anyways, I did not know how awful he was on set before though.
This is not a realistic goal. It is very difficult to even port games much less make different versions. It's doable, but they will be banging their head against the wall not far in.
@farrgazer There's definitely truth to this, but Mario Odyssey and Botw are both built for short burst gameplay too. But the line has definitely been blurred.
This thing never really stood a chance, which is too bad.
It turns out, that the secret to selling handhelds is having Nintendo's top teams develop games for them. Or in the PSPs case having Rockstar make full gtas for them.
@astrogamer I didn't know about that one. It's a pretty sad collection though. But on the other hand, there were so many games, it's hard to know which ones to do.
I know you guys can't know everything but I hate these articles where you act like something is some brand new development without even checking you work. This changes nothing. There was already a mod for this, the dude on Etsy has sold hundreds if not thousands of them. Psp go's have been really sought after for years now. I have a modded psp and was playing it two days ago and it's great, and perfectly comfortable and all the people complaining are whiners.
Also to be clear, I never had to cut anything off to fit the other adapter. Anyone thinking of getting one of these, I'd consider his first, before this.
@Sketcz I am altering the deal, pray I not alter it any further.
But seriously, yeah they bought the site, a year ago you still couldn't search for multiple terms, they made it better with an amazingly updated search and collation system, and then suddenly it's "if you want to see more of the collaborations between the team that made this game, it's 5 dollars per month". Who the hell is going to pay five dollars a month?!?! Do you know how much internet access costs?
You need to act as a database for a marketplace like discogs. You don't even need to run it, just take affiliate clicks.
The Laser one looks like a decent simple concept. The first one seems pretty neat too. The other three look, eh. The roguelike word one could be cool, it reminds me of bookworm adventure which was just sort of mindless match 3 gameplay.
This is a good game, but not that exciting. I think it's better than classic qix, but not as good as the Renaissance during the psp/ds era. I mean c'mon patchwork heroes is phenomenal.
Alright, nice, this a long with the gimmick qol mods, and Trip World DX makes a nice little package for these games to play in the modern era for everyone to enjoy.
@smoreon I don't know if you've listened to the Unbelievable truth, but one of my favorite all time Moments was John Finnemore saying "He's not a very good spy. His catchphrase is saying his real name. Twice!"
@Damo I actually really like Song 2, but you have to understand, here Blur was basically a one hit wonder. The radio station I grew up listening to played it at least two times a day, and that was when it wasn't on the charts. That album is the only one that sold a million copies here. So when I actually started listening to Blur it was sort of this weird one off, like Creep by Radiohead. It's probably my 40th favorite blur song or something?
@-wc- I really cant add anything to that excellent analogy.
@mariteaux I didn't say every young person. They didn't make an electronic remix because sports fans got older and more into rock music.
@smoreon Just to be clear, I don't think he's drawn to spies, I think the bad guys just send hot spies to seduce him. If you eliminate people who either try to kill him, or who then die by association with him, he's hardly slept with anyone.
Honestly as cool as the pocket is, it just can't compete with android emulation for me. If the Miyoo flip ever releases, I will have no real desire for the pocket.
Indiana Jones is not really a womanizer, he just lives a lifestyle that's not conducive to having steady relationships. All of the women in the Indiana Jones trilogy are strong and intelligent, and can make their own decisions who they want to sleep with. It's a pity we never got to see too many more competent writers handle the character, and the ones who did (one of whom I know personally) didn't usually write love interests. All I know is that the Mata Hari episode of Young Indiana Jones, make Shia Labeuf and the poorly rendered cgi Monkeys seem like Raiders.
@Sketcz It just a game I haven't gotten around to playing yet, I don't view good stories as having an expiration date on them. I can tell you genuinely weren't trying to do something malicious, but it does suck having story moments ruined, and that one was almost unavoidable.
Why would you put a spoiler alert on a game that, let's face it, most people will never care about or play, and then spoil a really popular game that has a recent remake, and that I do want to play? That's just being a jerk for no reason.

@smoreon @FirMatt Citra already works, and a lot of the forks are better. So it's not too affected here.

Re: "Why The F**k Did You Put Music In?" - How FIFA's Love Of Licensed Songs Almost Didn't Happen
The royalties for song 2 must have surpassed all their other songs combined, which is so silly, I don't even think it's one of their best songs.
