Its always great getting to hear from legendary devs about the super hush hush stuff from years past. Even though a lot of the info has been in the wild for quite some time.
Still, that era of gaming was practically mythical to me for years. especially going into the legendary 5th console generation.
Its a damn shame Nintendo didn't foster these relationships further to make their consoles that much better and to have some more varied devs under their wings.
I've replayed my Mega Drive (sticking to context of the article as a yank, but I always liked MD more tbh) games far more than my SNES games. I am glad I got one in 1990 (I got my own MD for my room for Xmas 1991) even though I was a raving Nintendo Nut at the time.
I like its sound chips (mostly when its the Japanese devs using their custom sound fronts to really make that chip sing) more too and feel it aged much better than the SNES's chip.
I finally got an SNES in fall 1993 with Secret of Mana, Mario World, Act Raiser, and I mailed in for a free copy of Mario All-Stars.
Of course, but I can just use the stuff I have on my PC as well. I'm not going to lie though, I did think about that but I'd probably just go with the other new one instead because I still have Sega CD games (without the cases, Time Gal, Sonic CD, Chuck Rock, etc)
Meh, I was playing Street Fighter II:SCE (which did play and sound better than the SNES versions with proper arcade style music and smooth controls) on my Genesis with a couple of 6 button pads instead.
I did borrow my brother's copy of the game for a few weeks and enjoyed it though. I ended up buying Mortal Kombat 3 for my Sega Saturn in late 1996.

Re: Feature: Hidehiro Funauchi Mastered The Game Boy's Sound Chip, Then Seemingly Disappeared
I always liked the GB's sound more than the NES's and this guy comparing it to a doorbell makes me want to slap him with a copy of Mega Man 3
Re: Random: Performing Combos In The Worst Version Of Street Fighter II Is Pretty Hard, But Possible
@Bass_X0 No, the Toshinden and SNK super deformed fighters were the best playing and looking on the Gameboy until I got my Neo Geo Pocket/Color.

If I hadn't sold my collection of 130+ Genesis games back in 2009, I'd be all over this.
Re: There's A New Intellivision Coming, And A Trio Of Former Nintendo Staffers Are Helping Launch It
The updated Imagic games alone would be worth it to me, along with some others they mentioned.
We had an Intellivision and 2600 in my house from 1982 until I got my NES in 1987.
