Re: The Maniac Mansion-Esque Adventure Game 'Cronela's Mansion' Has Launched Its Kickstarter

SNES! Excellent. I'm particularly excited for the SNES version of this game, since it is superior to most of the other systems of its day (due to larger number of parallax layers etc.) I really hope the team behind this is optimizing the release to take full advantage of the many technological advantages of the SNES hardware.

If not, it would be a shame (since the SNES is capable of, for example, displaying a much richer pallet of colours than the NES/GBC). I am also wary of the green guy, I hope this isn't another case of injecting politics into video games.

Re: SuperSega Boss Is Now Trying To Block People Getting Refunds

I find it hard to have much sympathy for anyone who backed this project, as I believe there were clear indicators that it was a scam very early on. I guess I could say shame on timeextension for promoting and giving free press to this just for the laughs, which I'm sure resulted in real orders for them. If it had been a "Super Nintendo" I can see myself being tempted to hope it would be real...

Re: SNES Consoles Appear To Be Getting Faster As They Age

The SNES already had many advantages over the Mega Drive (with more parallax layers etc) so it's interesting to see even many years later a new advantage has been discovered! I am being facetious, of course, it is always better to experience games as originally intended. I am grateful for the many ways I have to now enjoy my large collection of SNES titles but hope to be able to continue to use my original hardware.

Re: SNES Title 'Shounen Ninja Sasuke' Is Getting Its First Ever Western Release Later This Week

Even though the SNES has been discontinued for over 25 years, I had hoped to add a new cart to my extensive collection. I am, however, of course very excited to see the localization of another Japanese Super Famicom title. There is not enough love for Nintendo and I have noticed that the Sega Mega Drive tends to garner more interest from the retro gaming community, despite it not being capable of producing nearly as many parallax layers as the SNES.
