@LowDefAl It really isn't. Small devices with sticks do not have an ideal position and people say this about every single small device.

@Bonggon5 I think it will probably be significantly more comfortable as it has about twice the surface area.

I've gotta say, this thing is pretty sleek. It's. A little bigger than that appealing micro size, but it's still very pocketable, and should run a good deal of stuff. I wouldnt be surprised if this becomes something of a standard if the price isn't too extreme.

@-wc- Though it is worth noting that vinyl is limited by literal depth, you can't get low lows with it.

I really wanted to like what I saw, but it doesn't seem great. Like I love the mosty and the color pallette and the graphics are fine, but it looks sparse and lifeless. And not in a good way. I'd love to be wrong though.

I feel like I need to rank the two eras of dmg/gbc games differently. Not that we are near critical mass of newer games that are as good as AAA titles from back then, but still stuff like this really looks promising. Deadeus is maybe still unrivaled, and everything Robert Doman makes is pushing boundaries like very few devs still do today

@snk2d4life That's a good idea, and I've been doing it free for years

@Damo Yeah I'm not correcting your usage, they literally say it on their front page iirc, and legally it's a front end. I think this is more of a language difference between pc and Android. On PC some emulators will be unusable without a separate UI/fontend, whereas on android it's just an incorporated feature. We'll I've done 99% of my emulating on android, so the homogenous quality of retroarch features are basically exactly the same as the UI for any standalone, including negative aspects like not being able to set hot keys on a core by core (or game by game) basis, whereas frontend on android more typically refers to what is essentially a standalone launcher, which offers a game menu, but no other features to link things in the way retroarch does. You can potentially try to replicate the homogeinity of retroarch by setting individual features, but honestly the lack of actual gameplay customization options makes retroarch feel much more like a complete standalone product to me.

@-wc- To me rail just refers to the fixed path of the camera, and the inability to stop it, like a ride, not the character. I get what you mean though, and think you should categorize games how best pleases you.

@QuackFu I'm assuming that was autocorrect, but to be clear I said Jank. I do not find a nike funded promo game any more charming than I found the McDonald's one.

This feels like a Nintendolife article, everyone here will just play the English translation. The same team working on DK94 DX, and Mole Mania DX, are also working on a DX version of this as well iirc. Goddamn heroes.

Yunno, they call retroarch a front-end, but I mean... the UI for any emulator is a front end for that emulator, but we don't say that. Retroarch is as much an emulator as most others. Calling it a front-end feels wrong now that there are so many dedicated forntends which function completely differently.

I thought this was going to be a basketball game, and oh man it really is not. More corporate jank nonsense, I guess these guys are planting their flag.

I hate the generic artsyle and design for this. Also it looks boring. It's more of a 3d shmup than the typical rail shooter style, design wise.

Ohhhhh yeah, I remember this now. I was excited, then it reviewed terribly. It does LOOK realllllly good though, with the is dx update. Hopefully they tweak a few things.

Yeah this felt very rushed, like a project they didn't finish all the way and pushed out to fill the gap until the flip. I'm hoping the flip is better in practically every way. If the mockups and leaks are at all accurate it will have a completely different dpad, and a better screen, which are the biggest complaints about this from all corners. But at least the anbernic sp is a solid backup if they really screw up.

I watched a review of this, it looks like a really nice device, that's totally worth the price tag. I'm still waiting for the Miyoo flip, and this has got me pumped for it.

No, it's the price I expected.

@Gs69 Here's your guide. Get a retroid pocket 4 +. If for some reason you don't want that one, then get the one you like the form factor of. If you want more information go to r/sbcgaming.

@NinChocolate No that's the miyoo flip

Eh, I've already got vitas. I'm more interested in gba sp and psp go form factor.

@graemebuchan They will definitely not remake the game again. You might as emulate it upscaled, it's not like you can buy it.

@romanista I think that people who are upset about the principle of this ad "iPad replaces all these things" are nuts, as you said they've been saying that since before it was true. And the reason I own an iPad pro is because it does replace a lot of stuff, and minimizes waste. I think that actually destroying stuff (and it has been generally agreed they did destroy stuff and most wasn't cgi) to get across this point is disgusting behavior. Is it worse than general mass consumerism? No, but it's more blatantly wasteful, like burning money in front of poor people.

What a depressing way to reference devo.

Oh man, imagine a ninja turtles/dark crystal esque Star Fox film with puppets like those. It'd be like Space Opera Wind in the Willows.

Oh, yes please, take my money.

This game looks sweet, and the rune idea looks cool and well implemented.

I'm interested to see the pocket micro

Wow a video game collector/dealer made a little bit of profit exploiting people, and buying from businesses that exploit them even more. I should subscribe to their YouTube channel so I can hear them talk about it for half an hour.

Man oh man, this is exciting. Especially the framerate. I wonder if the pc port is the endgame here, or if there could potentially be a way to utilise the enhancements on external platforms, ie the new upcoming analogue 64. But in the meantime, I will need to check out the capabilities.

Just buy a vita. It natively supports a ton of really great fighting games, most of my favorites, and has this kind of dpad. I usually use it over the stick for PS All Stars even.

@Lanmanna I mean... Then buy it? I think it looks bad. You can't really make out the characters features, and details, and the person who did the color made everything all blend too much. It's not like the worst thing I've seen, but it's pretty ugly to me.

Wow this comment section really shows how disconnected people are from reality. The wastefulness of upper class America, and the people who aspire to that level of wanton disregard and opulence. Absolutely disgusting behavior, and I love my iPad pro, it's an amazing creative tool. People who are upset about the concepts embodied in the ad are completely missing the point.

Regardless, It is actually illegal to use someone else's product in an unapproved manner without asking them, hence why movies need to ask, and commercials can't just slag off other brands. So if it's really their cabinet, then they also may have violated their copyright.

That's some major BS, but also it's kind of what you get for buying collector garbage.

@GhaleonUnlimited Yeah it sound like NES console prices have just spiked more than I realized. I remember when they were basically free.

This is my kind of person. I already told one guy if he finished his Gameboy SM64 port, I'd give him 64 dollars.

@bryce951 Its probably a fine deal relative to other options, I'm just saying it's a lot regardless.

That is A LOT of money

@GhaleonUnlimited You just said you don't like Ocarina or Mario 64, so we probably will never agree on anything video game related, honestly. But in relation to games I've played, I have spent an inordinant amount of time scouring different genres across all consoles, and yeah there are a probably one or two japan only games I've missed on saturn because they did such a poor job marketing it here, but in general I just don't find the games fun to play. I don't really like the Genesis either, though that's more the fault of of companies being cheap and refusing to put save batteries, so devs had to design without them.

@nocdaes This is a very odd take to me. A brawl is a raucus fight that evokes bar rooms and street fighting. And a fallen city sounds post apocalyptic, or like taken over by gangs. This might just be a cultural difference thing, but the name is pretty on point with the meaning for an American.

I actually like the name, but it looks like OKs graphically awful. There are so many more pixels, but no more detail, it's a blurry, undefined mess to look at. It's hard to imagine this competing with SOR2 much less SOR4.

@GhaleonUnlimited Most of the big name ones, some other more niche ones, Baku Baku is my favorite.

Very few people I've met who like Sega systems have anything close to an unbiased opinion. It's people who grew up with them and have some weird chip on their shoulder about Nintendo. The equivalent of those people who defend Nintendo's corporate decisions like someone insulted their mom.

99% of video games I've played have been as an adult, and across every console, so I have a pretty wide taste and experience. Sega consoles have very weak Libraries, unless you really want an arcade feel. It's why they went out of business . I obsessively make lists of my favorite games for each consoles, and for some of the Sega ones, I can't even reach ten. If someone told me they actually think the N64 and Ps1 are worse than the Saturn, I'd assume they did not know what they were talking about, because that view is so obviously affected by nostalgia, or weird Sega loyalty.

@Gremio108 I was literally going to write that same thing, haha.

The game looks pretty cool, especially the Gameboy version, but that promo art is embarrassing.

Gameboy games are not even a 1:1 resolution.

This is not a Zelda like, it's a chips challenge or mole mania -like.

@jojobar I don't thnk that's even that controversial to people who aren't biased. I have played every kart racer, and CTR is absolutely the best one of its generation. I'd say speed punks is better than Mario Kart 64 too, though Probably DKR is second best after CTR. I'm about as big as Mario kart and N64 fan as you can get too, so it's high praise.

My first thought was, why improve such a good game, but this looks amazing.

@Zeebor15 Well, it definitely isn't a sequel, just look at it, but spiritual successor also seems wrong. It's like what Mario sunshine is to Mario 64.

Two articles on formerly Japan exclusive strategy games in two days, and both of them do not live up there their sweet box!/promo art. I want the game that looks like that campy post Ninja Turtles art.

Also know as a "child".

@Yojimbo Also, they are literally from the most priveleged country in the world.
