This really isn't a very good piece of art. Everything is out of proportion or at wrong angles, the face showing looks ridiculous. Though I would have thought it was really cool as a kid to be fair.

@Lorfarius And yet the best versions of the game are the simplest looking ones, and none of them are better than tetris, so it wasn't really a good goal to invest time and money making the gems look cool.

@Daggot Columns 2 got it's first official English release on switch not that long ago iirc. Sega just owns the series outright, but it's not in much demand probably. It never really had much of an identity, despite being endlessly imitated and I believe (again iirc) originating the term match 3.

This doesn't look to have the genius course design that made the original games so special. Tricky and 3 are, for all intents and purposes, racing games. Aside from a few great kart racers, I don't know the last time I played a modern racing game that could match the craft with which they were designed for that generation.

This is so much more appealing to me than any other version of columns. Game gear is my favorite Sega released one, but their one insistence on trying to make the series seem fancy looking is really strange. Actually both game gear ones are at the top of my list, iirc, the first one is simple with quite a bit of customization and the second one had a different matching system which made it less like columns but definitely a worthy experience.

@Razieluigi And your comment confirms that you would rather posture based on what you think seems right, then spend any time observing what actually happens.

@Razieluigi Everything else I said? I said two sentences, one of which you said was fine. Megaman fans have a strange cultish devotion to the series, probably more than any other franchise I can think of except castlevania, and a lot of them definitely play the games regardless of quality. If you don't know what I mean, feel free to browse Megaman reddit or something, it's not really a hot take.

Honestly, Megaman fans will play anything that has to do with it, I don't think it has much bearing on the quality of the unlicensed game. I have never understood the appeal of the series

@Gamemoose The everdrive X7 already has rtc. This one is a bit cheaper, but the build quality looks slightly less reliable to me.

Easy answer, fpga is better for things like accuracy, and software is better for enhancements. As a note, every time I say something like this, someone says something like "technically both can do whatever the other does", but they don't, so that's irrelevant.

I never saw this thing, it's a nice little mockup though.

@Gamelore The SNES chip was incredible, and allowed for greater control over more complicated music. You can like what you like, but it is definitely a more complex and interesting device, and many definitive versions of soundtracks were snes ones because of it. I don't think the Genesis sounds bad or anything though, it's just closer to the nes.

@Sketcz It has to be. Though, I'd phrase it They are using AI to post. AI can't really use stuff yet

In the 90s Santa brought good kids Nintendo Controllers, Legos, and Stone Temple Pilots CDs, and brought the bad kids Madcatz, Megablocks, and Days Of The New cassettes.

@TransmitHim I cannot stand hand holding in adventure games, it's like if your gun just shot stuff without you doing anything in an fps.

@smoreon GTA III is definitely bigger than 1gb. It probably could have been optimized for gcn, but I don't know where you are getting that number from.

I remember when neo geo got it's majority share bought by some middle eastern trust fund kid, and was going to make a new console. What a weird thing to try to do.

That music is really good, though it would sound better on the snes. Also that has got to be some of the worst tetris playing I've ever seen.

@BetaRabbit64 I think you misunderstand the marketing a bit. This was marketed towards adults who owned the ds as an "adult device". Like the dsi, slick little pocketable device that looks like if apple made a gameboy mixed with a palm pilot, and it has all these apps to help me be an adult. I agree it's stupid, but it sold them over 40 million dsi's.

I did know about this, but I doubt many people owned it.

@Steel76 It's too expensive without the extra taxes too.

This looks great, hopefully hindsight can yield better results than similar contemporary games.

@JohnnyT1003 Didn't it sell about a million copies? I think they were expecting a bit more oomph than that, the budget must have been one of the highest on the console. I do think though, that like every other franchise, smash will have raised the profile enough, that a new game would sell better. Most people, myself included, didn't even know what Kid Icarus was when that game came out.

So infogrames buys atari, changes it's own name to Atari, then makes a new infogrames, which was always just a publisher of third party games anyways. Big move.

@Przemyslaw Yeah honestly part of playing games on original consoles is that they work like they did at the time. But if you want perfection, PSP games upscaled x3 on a decent sized screen with 60 fps cheats turned on is going to be definitive.

I honestly don't think I knew there was a 3, though I must have at one point.

I thought they'd done something clever, and got excited, but mouse clicking while playing a slowed down version of tetris is not something I'm interested in. This actually looks awful. Though I can think of some ways to make the idea work without the tetris part being a useless stapled on part.

@yttrium13 Definitive edition to people who wanted to play with a controller was 3do, end of story. I'm not saying it's the only or the most inclusive version, but it was a console release, therefore definitive for people who don't like pc gameplay. PC gaming with a controller was iffy at best even ten years ago, much less 20. Only with the deck is it even coming to where it needs to be, and even with that, all I see are whiny steam reviews about how games don't have proper keyboard and mouse support anymore. You can't please everybody.

Glad to hear this will have the support.

A decent collection, but just emulate them they aren't worth the money.

I don't own a 3do, I had good consoles. I just play it on my phone.

@jesse_dylan While it was definitely the only great game for 3do, it was also considered the definitive version by many people for most of the games lifespan. And yeah that is partly because it was a controller based space rpg. Too bad the buy in was 700 bucks.

@NateM94 Honestly I'm not sure, I can only speak to emulation.

Eh, I'm not interested in games like this unless they are controller based. There is absolutely no shortage of space games for pc. That's why the 3do version of SCII is so beloved. It does look like a good game though.

I had never even heard of the original. But this looks pretty excellent.

@Azuris People who want iphones, want iphones. Its like a status symbol or something. If you like games, music, movies, art, sports, or... just about anything, an android phone is the way to go, and it's not even close.

Given how much most video game memorabilia costs anyways, this is kind of a steal.

@snk2d4life Yeah, but it really puts into perspective the fact that they could literally just put all the games in one cartridge, right?

@snk2d4life Seriously they just use an SD adapter?

@Steeloid Simulate a connection... as in run a gamecube game on a gba without being connected to a gamecube? No believe it or not the gba is not secretly capable of running gamecube games.

You can speak of glove in the same sentence as SM64. Watch: "My dad got Mario 64 and Glover to go with our N64, and glover sucked". See? Honestly the game isn't that bad, but someone told him it was good for kids or something, but compared to Mario it was incomprehensible and difficult.

This looks at least novel enough to try.

Yeah, I mean it sucks, but also this is a risk with open source stuff. Unless it's better though, it won't really matter.

Great game. Not worth thousands of dollars, but on my NES top 10.

@-wc- Yeah this is a weird piece. It feels really angry

This looks great

@ZeichiGames Mostly I just think it's an unrealistic goal. Also the game just doesn't look good, which is harsh, but legitimately great game boy games come out every year on a budget of zero dollars. I try to be fairly constructive in my criticism for newer devs, because I want people to succeed, but thirty grand is a lot to ask for something that looks completely unappealing to me. And I will play any gbc game with a pulse.

@ZeichiGames I know a cash grab kickstarter when I see one. Thirty grand is absolutely absurd.

@Sketcz No I didn't realize the beta version was better, good to know.

Seems great, but I'm holding out for the Miyoo Flip.

Wishlisted. I've actually been waiting for a game like this, so hopefully it lives up to The hype.
