I got so excited because I thought someone finally made a really good flashcart for it. I know it's mostly because how the console works but I never hear anything great about either of the two options, but at least it can hold more than two games like the flashmasta.

@Sketcz I would disagree that they are rpgs in any sense. If we are going to refer to MGS games as rpgs then any use of genre names will break completely down. I do understand what you mean though.

@vidjagames Oh OK, yeah I dont know their other listed games either. In my experience companies like this are mostly just an easier alternative to self publishing, not really a place to look for games (for game boy I mean). I just watch itch for the jams and stuff, or "comps" I think they are now, because Gameboy jams allow windows games I think.

@Sketcz I don't think spy rpg is a no brainer, almost nothing fun about being a spy fits into an rpg (unless it's a tactics or adventure game). Spies don't level up, you don't want combat that goes slowly, in fact you usually try to avoid combat altogether, so it would need to be something like when you sneak past a goomba in Mario RPG, mixed with mgs. But it's fun to think about, and I'd never even heard of this game, and I like when people do something different.

This game looks excellent. I will definitely get it for a few bucks when the rom is available, though that's a nice looking cartridge too.

@vidjagames I don't think it's really a company, unless you mean the publisher.

@Sketcz Yeah that's where I dug it up haha. I think they're pretty safe from lawsuits, but I get their caution.

@RootsGenoa Oh yeah. Actually I see they already reported what it was on this site. Weird theme change.

@RootsGenoa I'm assuming that's Aliens

Props for trying to get a pulpy Sci fi theme on an arcade game from Konami, but at its heart it just looks likes their marketing department wouldn't let them stray to far from boring action movie territory. I'd never heard of this before though.

I just read about this the other day actually, just because I found out that future tactics was originally going to get a port.

1. PS2
2. 3
3. 3DS

PS2 is just a really good action game, and then 3ds was really good but really hard, so I never had a positive score. I basically hate single run games without saves, and I think iirc shinobi 3 was that. But they made it a good difficulty, and it's just really fun. Contemporary critics complained about how easy it was, but those designers were forward thinking and focused on making an accessible experience.

@Bonggon5 How much software emulation have you done? I'd love an fpga device, but none of the come close to doing what software emulation does. I see things about them ironing out kinks in famous N64 and ps1 games, 7 years ago android emulators were ironing out Wii games, and the previous generations were close to flawless. Don't get me wrong, the pocket is awesome, but it really can't compete with the capabilities of other sbc emulators.

I've seen this so much that I thought you guys had already talked about it haha. I'm bummed the flip is taking a little longer, but this thing seems nice, even though the color selection leaves a lot to be desired.

@Zenszulu I was mostly just replying to the whole misleading headline thing that the other person said. This basically looks like what I'd expect from a late cycle N64 game, which is not a bad thing.

I know what all those words mean separately.

@Zenszulu I said Mario 64 is the baseline of the N64's capabilities, and that he built upon that, I didn't say anything about the quality of what the did.

@TransmitHim Also it's using Mario 64 as a base presumably, which is basically the minimum in many ways of what the system can do.

I'm trying to remember if this game has screen relative movement or 45 degree offset. I don't really like offset isometric games, because it bescially cancels out the pseudo 3d effect for me, but also because thing like jumping become non intuitional.

@Kugetsu Well I wasn't talking about plagiarism, I'm talking about what this book is doing, which is using public domain freely accessible information for profit, any crime, if there is any, is besides the point. And what I'm saying is "relevant" because this isn't really news, it happens every day.

Good way to get some coverage for your games! I've never heard of most of these

It's hilarious how much this looks like a device from 1990.

I can see why it was canned. They need to iron out so many things, the chain swinging is touchy, and there are also glitches, and even if you fix them the game would just be OK. The combat was simple, but fun enough that they should have stuck with that. I still love playing these though, and hopefully Radium gets shared next.

Ohhhhh I have been waiting for this day.

I actually like the Dragon port better, than the original.

What a time to be alive. It's kind of like the password/secret generator for the oracle games in case you lost your old game.

@smoreon I just found out you could change the graphics on a short hike a couple days ago. I haven't tried it yet, but I love the default so much I doubt I'll prefer it.

@Porco Unfortunately not every device is catered to meet your exact specifications, so I guess you'll have to suffer through other people enjoying themselves.

@Blofse Street Fighter 2 Turbo on SNES is widely considered to be the greatest fighting game ever made, so it's not really strange at all. But either way, ratings coalated lists are dubious anyways.

All the people complaining about sticks, this isn't for you, it's for me. They could barely have designed a better device for what I want. There's at least a one schmup a article on this site every week, and none of them are for me. Not everything is for every person. I can't wait to get this thing day one.

Just to be clear, this stuff has been going on forever. People would sell printed out Wikipedia books on random bands and stuff fifteen years ago. So someone would search "the slackers" for instance, and someone would list a book and then sell them a book if Wikipedia pages and maybe some other info.

I bet it happened on Kickstarter too, I remember when they didn't regulate anything, and all the food stuff was like "give me money to make cookies, and I'll send you the recipe", I remember reporting one guy for asking for money for a new car for his girlfriend and offering literally nothing to backers.

I played the demo. The humor is really lame and kind of edgelordy honestly. The gameplay is quite good, but the whole "morio" "tosla" "alien musk" thing really detracts. It feels like the same sort of forced smile inducing thing as when a standup pulls out an acoustic guitar.

This looks great, I need to try that demo.

@KingMike Wow, you've never played a GTA? That's almost impressive.

Yeah that quote about reframing is completely incorrect. It absolutely was quality over quantity, Sony literally did not care what people released, and as a result the N64 has probably the highest good to bad game percentage of any console, and that's including the PS2 which probably has 150 good games for it. The top end of the N64s library was so good and influential that when the ps1 devs moved onto ps2, their game shall copied those instead of building on their earlier ps1 games.

If ghost, hold, and hard drop can be turned off l, I can overlook them, but I've yet to play a tetris since Nes/gameboy that has what could be considered the "correct" lock down time.

Annnnnnd dmca in 3...2....1....

But, seriously, there's a reason why the most popular intellectual property of all time has close to zero rom hacks, and every actual project gets shut down.

Nice. Free Radical got a raw deal.

The thing is I think most people were more excited for the weird ports, like I always want a new gbc game.

This look like a psp era game, I mean that in a good way, and I love it's animated trailer.

For a second I thought this added a paddle...

Yeah. Too bad the playdate is still a bit too expensive. I really want one but man with the shipping and tax and stuff it's really hard to justify.

I've come to believe the community for projects like this should be private, the emulator should be available for everyone but the community should be private torrent site type exclusive.

That does look rough. Unless your name is Smashing Drive you have no excuse for a framerate that choppy on gba.

Basically they're retroarch except they make a profit.

I could be very wrong, but it seems like whoever announced this film doesn't know what "live action" means, or at least Is stretching it's meaning to its extreme limit.

Presumably their adapters mean that they have proprietary cores that also work without them, no? I think finally having full support for those consoles is very cool.

Great, I look forward to his game.

This seems very well made.

This reminds me of one of those harry potter bootlegs, I can't remember which one, I think it was based on cotton.

@GhaleonUnlimited Yeah they're really screwed. And not the richest company in Japan or anything.
