And now I'm even more sure, that they will ***** up the upcoming "Earthion" release...

It really has that 90:s "euro" look.
Not a fan of that kind of artstyle, but I'll give it a try.

@Chocoburger
They should have used music instead (especially since it has support for extra sound channel), and skip that annoying sound effect.

Got excited there for a while, and then I saw the gameplay...
No thanks...

Had issues with some games on the Mega SG and Super NT, that works perfect on software emulation. And as usual, Analogue leaves the old FPGA consoles in the dust, even when there is bugs left to fix. So I went back to original hardware instead.
Still got an Analogue Pocket though.

I know the FPGA elite, won't admit to these things. As emulation is a dirty word to them

As long as it plays the game correctly, I don't care if it's hardware or software emulation.

The choice of D-pad, was a huge mistake...

"Earthion will be coming to modern platforms first, then the Mega Drive Genesis."

*****! Well that wasn't the original plan, as it was made for Mega Drive first. Limited Run will probably take another year to release the damn cartridge. Was hoping that we could at least buy a rom file, to use in our flashcarts...

I don't understand why they didn't go with Retro-Bit instead...

The PS1 bootscreen, will forever be my favorite, followed by the PS2.
The rest is just so damn boring.
At least we had a return of the PS1 bootscreen, on the PS5 for the 30th anniversary. Wish they had kept it.

I think we saw 5 seconds of gameplay in that trailer 😂

Limited Run sure loves to re-release janky old games. Bet it's CD-R discs again 😜

Always wanted a real X68000.
But the games and hardware is just too damn expensive.
Been emulating the games instead.
Lots of great Konami games on the system.

I miss internet from the 90:s-00:s.
Sure we had trolls back then as well.
But not to the insane point it has reached today, with death threats, etc.
It's gotten to the point that I just don't want to engage with most of the retro community.
Better for the mental health, to just keep out of it.

@KimRuggeri
Guess your one of the trolls?

Gonna switch out the HDD for one of these.

This is what I like to call, a "first world" problem.
I'll think we will survive this 😁

Finest example of snake oil.

@jesse_dylan

I hope they make a sequel as well. Love the Rebirth series.
Too bad it's stuck on Wii...

The heavy use of autotune in the song, is so fitting for this failure.

Never played this one before. Gonna check it out.

Sega should just re-release the original versions.
Hated the remake of the first game.

Hope we can buy the rom, to use with a Everdrive on real hardware.
I don't really wanna support Limited Run. But for this one, I might make an exception.
Though it will probably take forever for them to release the damn cart.

Pure insanity, that they choose Limited Run, instead of Retro-bit...

Can't really tell that it's AI or not. Not as obvious as some other examples I guess.
Not gonna stop me from enjoying the GAME.
Maybe they didn't have the budget, after spending money on making the game and PCB's?
Doubt they're working on a big budget here 😂

I love original hardware, but there comes a point, when I rather just use an emulator on a smaller handheld, if I'm bringing it on a trip.
That and the Lynx was so damn bulky 😂

Nice!!
This is my kind of shmup.

@slider1983
Sure, but I wish it was a bit faster (though might have been the Amiga, that was was pushed too far), and that the stages didn't go on for so long (10 minutes), as they became a bit repetitive.

@slider1983
Only thing memorable about Xenon 2, was the music, that ripped off John Carpenter's theme from Assault on Precinct 13. 😂

@slider1983
Even bad Japan games were more fun, compared to the euro jank 😂

Seriously though, yes there was a lot of trash on the Famicom, but overall, when it comes to good vs bad ratio, Japan delivered way more quality games.

@slider1983

I'm a Swede, and grew up on both japan consoles and Euro games on C64/Amiga. And especially the Euro platformers and shooters on 16 bit computers/consoles was mediocre.
Nice graphics, but the controls, hit detection, level layout, etc. was very janky, compared to what we got from Japan. The Germans made some good stuff though, like Turrican.

Overall, arcade styled games, developed in the west, on any system, was mediocre, back then.

Censoring my comment, for talking negative about euro games?

I can't wait to see what they bring us this year.
I really hope that a Intellivision+, is part of their future plans.

Basically most Konami and Capcom arcade game, got a better balanced home port on the NES/SNES, and often also with different gameplay mechanics. Like Gunsmoke. I hate the arcade version, but the NES version, is one of my favorite games on the system.
Contra and Super C, is also way better than the arcade versions.
The arcade originals, where just made to eat your coins, and often the arcade operators, set the dip switches at hard mode.

Not including a disc drive on that FPGA console, is a big mistake.
Better to just stick with emulation or that new cheaper MiSTer Pi.

I got my original PS1 connected through a OSSC scaler, and a 8bitdo adapter so I can use any PS controller. So I'll rather stick with that solution.

If you got an original console laying around, and wanna use it on a modern TV. Get this cable. Got one for my girlfriend, and it works great.

@Slobbert
SteamOS on handhelds makes the experience as easy as a console. 👍

I just hope that Steam OS will get native support for all gaming apps. It was a hassle to use Linux (it complicated for a new user), to get some stuff to work, on the Steam Deck, but I guess things have improved now?
At the moment I have a Rog Ally X, and I love the freedom and how easy it is to add stuff, in Windows.
But if SteamOS, will deliver everything we PC gamers need, even on a desktop, then I will gladly leave Windows behind.
Gonna give Bazzite a try soon, on my Ally X.

Never had any issues using N64 emulator.
The games runs smoother than original hardware as well. When I bought a N64 last year, I was shocked by how terrible the framerate was, in comparison. So I went back to emulation. Yes it isn't 100% perfect, but it's not even close to being "broken".

Should have included Turbo Outrun as well.

That channel really loves AI babes.

@turboxray
Yeah, exactly 😁👍👍 hehe

Sounds like a mix between Toaplan and Konami style of music. Love it!!

I wish he would release a demo of the first stage. 😁

Cool, but I'll stick with my famicom carts.

One thing is for sure, they don't need to deal with Windows, and worry about hackers 😁

I used to work in a videostore, 20 years ago, and the computer we used, had been in service since the 80:s. The program we used was flawless, and über easy to work with. Then the boss upgraded to a Windows PC, and suddenly, we were stuck with a ***** program, that often crashed, and was way more annoying to use.

No point in upgrading, if the stuff you got, no matter how old, still works flawlessly.

There are an endless supply of emulator consoles, that can play Saturn and Dreamcast now. Both Saturn (which I love) and Dreamcast flopped hard, and I doubt that mini consoles would sell well, outside of our niche retro community.
NES and SNES mini was huge sellers, but those are WAY more popular and mainstream. Except for people like us, noone knows about the Saturn and Dreamcast today.
Even Playstation mini was a flop.

Why spend money, to manufacture something, that will only sell to a small group of hardcore SEGA retro fans? They would only end up loosing money.
They should just release collections of the games, on modern systems and PC.

I wish it was the PS2 era, all over again, when the game industry wasn't a complete mess.
When games were released in a finished state. Sure still some bugs from time to time, but nothing major as today, when most big titles are beta/broken on release.
Getting multiple GTA games, in one generation, instead of one game 15 years apart.
Even AAA games still had fun artstyle, instead of boring realism. And most important of all, we didn't drown in remasters and remakes.

Still today, I find games on the PS2 (got one modded with a HDD), that I've never knew about, or had the chance to play back then, that I often end up having more fun with, compared to modern AAA and indie games.

Buy maybe I'll feel the same way about the PS5, during the PS8 era, when things have gotten WAY worse 😂

Glad they saved the franchise with this one, after the terrible second game.

I'm done with FPGA consoles.
I have owned Mega SG and Super NT, but there was graphical/sound issues on a couple of games, that will never get fixed, due to them not updating them anymore.
So I went back to original consoles. Much cheaper, and if you don't have a scaler, you can just get a Rad2X cable instead, to easily connect and get good PQ on a modern TV.

I bet the OG consoles, will outlive the FPGA hardware.

Oh no, not Limited Run...

I wish the ST port of Outrun, ran like this, instead of the slideshows we got, when an arcade game was ported.
Prime example, that the hardware wasn't the problem, but a mix of talentless programmers, and greedy companies, that only gave them like two weeks (probably more, but you get my point) to finish the games.

If people stopped writing articles about emulation, romsites, fangames etc. Then a lot of these websites would still have been available.
Keep these things below the radar, or Nintendo etc, will sue or force them to shut down.

This isn't helping in reducing the exposure...

Wow, been a long time since we got a new handheld........................last week maybe?

Looks like yet another shovelware VR shooter.
Some game franchises (most?), don't work at all, moving into VR.
