Looking at these screenshots makes me want a SNATCHER remaster even more....

I was so let down in 1992 being a Sega fan and renting their "in-house" take on RETURNS. I rented Konami's SNES version and took it over to my friends' house so I could play it. So much better! While I did get the Sega CD games years later, I always wanted this game on my Genesis. Hope to give this a try.

I really hope this comes to Switch 2.

I had just started University and one of my dorm mates had it pre-ordered from a GameStop in the mall. While we had all been having nightly GOLDENEYE competitions, us and our friends were super-hyped for the Dreamcast (BEST. CONSOLE. NAME. EVER.). I remember us coming back to the dorm; Matt dropped around $500.00 USD when everything was said and done. He picked up the console, two extra controllers, two VMUs, two Light Guns, Sonic Adventure, Ready2Rumble Boxing, House of the Dead 2, and Soul Calibur.
I believe NFL2K, NBA2K and Slave Zero came a few weeks later. It was insane to be a part of someone going all out at launch. I picked up a neon-green VMU to use. We played non-stop for 3 days straight pretty much. We were all blown away. Soul Calibur and NFL2K were folded into heavy rotation along with GOLDENEYE. My strongest memories revolve around getting deep into Weapons Master mode and playing NFL2K, four player, until 3AM. Still one of the best consoles of all time.

Mine is on its way. Opted for the 64GB version (figured the cheap microsd would be better if smaller lol). Should be here in 10 days. I'm fine with the chip issue. I spent $30.00 USD on AliExpress during a flash sale and am interested in testing it out. I have been looking for one of these for awhile; just something to throw in my pocket on quick trips. Looks like it will do the truck. Will maybe "splurge" for the 128gb when the M+ comes out (assuming I am pleased with this initial offering).

@Steel76
I luckily grabbed the Contra and Castlevania Re:Birth titles before the eshop closed down. I literally got up at 2 am and went to my living room to get them, lol. Didn't want the wife to yell at me for wasting $$$!!!

Yeah, got RE4 REmake for Christmas last year and am only about halfway through the campaign, lol. #MercenariesFTW! I have a pretty hot take on SONIC SUPERSTARS.... I think it's better than SUPER MARIO BROS. WONDER. It really nails the feel of classic SONIC. Music is great, levels are great, bosses are great. They even re-imagine all of the different types of Bonus Levels throughout the series. It's just such a love letter to the franchise. And it runs great on Switch!

@Blast16
SEGA has made so many mistakes over the years. Every time they start picking up steam they veer off the tracks. I feel like the success of the SONIC movies really kicked them into gear. I am super excited for all of the new games (Jet Set Radio, Shinobi, and Crazy Taxi were the others shown off). SoR4 was sooooo good and I actually really liked Sonic Frontiers and Superstars. They just need to put as much effort behind their other franchises. I also miss the hand-drawn covers of the 80s and 90s.

@Blast16
I feel like SEGA is planning a ten-year IP attack. They see how Nintendo has leveraged their brands and that is really the only way forward for their company. Of course.... ETERNAL CHAMPIONS??? Makes me wonder if a new game is in the works.....

TBH, I think this universe could work better as a movie or TV show. I remember renting EC when it first came out and being really disappointed, but the charachters were all really interesting. Still surprised that this is a thing.

This game is fantastic. I remember renting it in the summer of 1999 and being blown away by every aspect of it. A wonderfully original game for the N64.

These are the types of games I want on Switch.

I pre-ordered this based on Nintendo Power's preview. I ended up just using it as a flying simulator; throwing on John William's iconic score and soaring around "Metropolis." Really wish Factor 5 would have gotten a chance to produce their proposed Superman title....

I sold my OG Genesis / Version 2 Sega CD / 32X set-up and bought a CDX. Even had the leather case for it. Actually took it with me on trips and used is as a portable CD player. I still have it with most of my collection. The only thing that sucks? It won't play JURASSIC PARK on the Sega CD... freezes when trying to move away from the crash site.

Holy crap, I want this! Like NOW... (But the misses would have my head... lol).

"Since then, Rare has produced a string of hits, including Perfect Dark Zero, Kinect Sports and – most recently – Sea Of Thieves." This made me chuckle... At least put VIVA PIÑATA in there!

@TheBigK
The most legit thing I will probably read today. Respect.

I can still remember opening SM3DW at my mother-in-law's house. I brought the WiiU to show the family and ended up playing with my daughters on the Gamepad together for most of the morning. We still all play together (on the Switch now, of course...)!

There was a dearth of beat-em-ups during that era because developers just did not know what to do with the genre in 3D. Sure, there were a few like NIGHTMARE CREATURES, but they played poorly. This looks like it could have been a simple, fun action game. Will definitely play this when it drops.

Does this have any links to the IN SEARCH OF DARKNESS trilogy or IN SEARCH OF TOMORROW documentaries?? The format sounds exactly the same. And TBH, I love those movies. I even backed IN SEARCH OF TOMORROW.

I had to hunt for this game when it came out. Finally found it at TOYS 'R US of all places. I am a fiend for good licensed properties and this sucker fires on all cylinders. The fact that it's the original concept for ALIEN 3 is icing on the cake.
Probably my most cherished DS game next to ENGLISH OF THE DEAD.

EWJ: SPECIAL EDITION is my favorite video game ever made. I have a small EWJ collection of games and memorabilia (I WILL NEVER SELL CLAYFIGHTER 63 1/3: SCULPTOR'S CUT!!!). I was very psyched by the announcement of a 4th game. While I wasn't completely sold on the art style, I was still excited for the possibilities. #StillHoldingOutHope

Man, SpaceWorld 2000 was such an amazing time. That Rogue Squadron 2 footage was running in my dreams for months. It was such a generational leap; it's hard to explain how mind-blowing it was going from N64 to GCN. I remember all of my friends had our colors picked out. If Nintendo had actually launched with Spice, Gold, and Silver I think they would have sold more systems at launch. Black was basic and Indigo was never going to set the world on fire. I got black at launch, but ultimately got my silver one a couple years later.

@Underneath
One with Peter Dinkladge is in production right now.

@MARl0
I think that was Sega's biggest issue then and what ultimately destroyed their consoles business; the disconnect between East and West. After Sega of America solidified their dominance in the U.S. and Europe, Sega of Japan jerked them around with the 32X and Saturn. There was such a lack of communication. Imagine if they were all just onboard with the Saturn and worked together on the games. No 32X or Neptune; just full steam ahead with the Saturn. They would have at least been able to stay in the fight, even with the insane Saturn architecture.

It's pretty much an even split between the Mega Drive / Genesis and the Dreamcast for me. Both were fantastic systems that really showcased what made Sega systems and games unique. Also, Dreamcast is the single best name for a home console / game system.... Ever.

My family uses the WiiU at least once every 10 days. We play a lot of Wii / WiiU Party, Guilty Party, and finally introduced the kids to Fortune Street. The only issues I have had are with the GamePad battery so I bought some back-ups off Amazon as well as two charging cables from Nintendo. Fingers crossed because I love that little guy, lol.

Played through SAILOR MOON with my daughters a couple of years ago and can attest to is being solid as heck. I would personally also place Sega's 1990 arcade powerhouse SPIDER-MAN and Capcom's THE PUNISHER on this list. Also kind of surprised CADILLACS & DINOSAURS is not on here.

Hope this comes to Switch. Love XenoCrisis, missed Demons of Asterborg when it was on sale over the holidays, and am waiting for Paprium to be ported. I was a Sega kid during the 16-bit generation so I really dig these new titles.

So obviously my GG collection is pants. I own none of these. Where is BATMAN RETURNS or MORTAL KOMBAT!?!?

I was really excited for this console. It was trying to do something very similar to the original Wii and was going to buy it as a party machine for when friends and family were over. This is probably the saddest commercial casualty of the pandemic.

I have been following this thing for a while. EWJ: SE for the Sega CD is my favorite game of all time so the fact that most of the original EWJ team is coming together on a new title is huge for me. I really like the focus on local multiplayer and that people can use their phones as controllers in a pinch. This thing could become a big hit with my kids and their cousins just because the multiplayer aspect is so pick-up-and-play. That being said, a $150 USD to $199 USD price point would have been the sweet spot. I don't know if families will spend $250 for a device like this.

Give us N64 and PS1 support.

@TheAmnesiacKid
I must have been thinking of Saturn! The main systems I want to back up are Genesis, Sega CD, Playstation, NES, and SNES. Hate pulling those out everytime I want to play the original and not a ROM that feels a bit off.

@abdias
I have a sizable Sega CD, Dreamcast, Genesis, and NES collection. I would like to be able to dump the carts/CDs on a system I can then plug into my tv. While I have made back-ups of my Sega CD games, this still seems like the best option.

I am psyched for the Polymega. Have been for the past several years. I hope it delivers.

I ja e been following these guys since the beginning. Did not pre-order as I have "adult responsibilities" or something. Figure I would wait for more reviews, but this thing sounds fantastic. I can finally take all of my cartridges and discs and dump them to an HD console. No more having to pull out SNATCHER! Hope the release goes well.

@DoctorYoghurt
TESTIFY!!!!!

I will be honest, this is my second favorite Star Fox game after 64. The strategy elements, controls, and story paths are all great. And an online multiplayer that was lots of fun; SF64 on 3DS didn't even have that. I sold New SMB to get this when it came out and I don't regret it.

I tried it a couple of times. Was not impressed. Same with PERFECT DARK.

I have been waiting forever for this. Been following it since it was RetroBlox. I just want to dump all of my retro games on it and be done. For someone like me with 20+ SegaCD games that are super rare it is invaluable.

I think this system is perfect for me. I can take all of my old discs and cartridges and dump them right on the system. Having one dedicated retro console hooked up to my TV would be better than all these retro consoles. I just dont have the room for it. At this point the Switch is turning into my retro-system.

@Roam85

The Amiico is the system getting the new EWJ. Tommy Talarico who did the music for EWJ owns Intellivision and is getting a bunch of the original team together to do EWJ 4..

I just want my Polymega.

I just want my Polymega.

I have been waiting for this thing for years!!! I needs this so I don't have to have 10 consoles hooked up!

Have been waiting years for this. It looks like we are near the finish line. This would be perfect for my collection.

I will be buying 2 of the 6 button original pads for my CDX. But what I really want to know is if the USB Saturn Pad is compatible with the Super RetroCade . . . .

I have been following this like a mad man for the past year and a half. This would be perfect for my SEGA colection.

It is the reason I have held off on buying retro machines or HDMI upscalers for my retro collection (outside of the Super RetroCade). I hope this turns out right.
