Wait what? I thought they would provide a more faithful translation...

I have actually all the games in the series and have managed to beat all of them! I hope the new entry won't be exclusive or anything...

I have the OG card, it is a very good game that I will surely buy again when they release the Steam overpriced version.

But PS5 has SUpeR MeGa fAsT SSD! Oh, wait...

In any case those boot times are fine.

I am not sure I want a new mini console, but I would love if they put their Master System/Game Gear/Mega Drive/Saturn/Dreamcast or Arcade games in Steam, PSN etc.

Oh, wait they had some of them there and they delisted them...

No digital version means no backing for me sorry! I never understood this. Not all retro gamers want to pay inflated custom, shipping or import taxes.

Believe or not I am a huge Power Rangers fan. I have seen all seasons multiple times and I really look forward to the game.

We live in a world where someone thought it was a good idea to name a console Wii U so I can live with Mr. Pi. I am more interested in the performance, availability etc.

WOW!!! One of my PSP Go is bricked! Time to unbrick it

For the love a God, why no PC port of Felix? Does Steam have cat hair allergy? Also, why no Xbox version AT ALL?

Can we use pseudo saturn and the ram expansion at the same time?

@IceClimbersMain May I ask why GC games are "better" in GC that the Wii? I always play them in Wii, way easier to get it hooked to HD monitors. Also, way easier to work with game saves.

They don't offer a digital version for some reason

I have not played any Yakuza game and I have no interest in them.

That said, since it seems they still have the rights, why don't they release all of those classics in PS4, Steam and other modern platforms? They are very few available.

@somnambulance I thought I was the only one that did not enjoy the boss battles in Superstars, the final ones especially.

You missed the Greek boxart of 2002. I think it is Labros Houtos

And it is available for pick up in my local Zara store! This may be some of the best case for RG351v or a similar smaller retro handheld.

It may be controversial opinion and I am not that of a fan of Nintendo if you exclude Game Boy and DS but I don't think the N64 has aged that well. Even back in the day some 3d games looked like a pixelated mess.

Still, I never got why Nintendo did not update Mario 64 with a full camera control which is too bad since the game is not outdated from a gameplay point of view. Even back in the day the idea felt limited to me.

I have both Mega Drive and older Saturn Retro-Bit wireless gamepads. Both are very good and also work with Windows. That said, even though I am a huge SEGA fan, I always found PlayStation gamepads to be rhe most ergonomic.

@Gs69 I also have this case but I don't like it that much. Emulation is spot on and I love the OG Game Boy look but the build quality on some buttons leave a lot to be desired, unless my was beat up since I got it used. Surely though the omission of a rechargeable battery is baffling.

Still, I really recommend the Pi Zero 2 if you are a fan of PS1 and the 8 and 16 bit games.

@dre8472 I am more of a fan of the pi zero line to be honest they are insanely cheap. I have a couple of them for retro gaming stuff. Plays everything up to PS1 and some DS although you can't upscale most of the time. They can't emulate Saturn and Dreamcast though but I think even pi4 struggles with them.

The localized preorder price is 73 euros for the 4GB model and 93 euros for the 8GB. Add this to that you need new charger, case and heatsink and it kind of defeats the "cheap hobby diy" stuff.

I really want one since I am a huge Game Boy and Game Gear fan but the imports, customs and shipping add a lot to the price...

I have never ever played Yakuza and I have no interest in it. Can they simply release the ports on their own?

@Hikingguy I knew about it. I was hesitant to order because they ship from China and I am in EU and I don't want to bother with custom office, import and custom fees etc.

However, I use the controller in the deck, even If I use it wired and the controller works vial Bluetooth on my PC so I ordered them, thanks for reminding me! From 3$ they may cost up to 20€ though.

Still the Xbox layout and the symmetrical sticks are nitpicks, but I want them in my controllers. Too bad 8bitdo hasn't made a 2.4Ghz version of Pro 2.

@Hikingguy Yeah, I know it is a nitpick but I hate the Switch layout. As for the rumble I will surely try it. I currently use the Pro 2 wired in my Deck but I don't think I will use it for long. The buttons are printed in the Switch layout. I was thinking to try the new Ultimate C with the 2.4 adapter that has the Xbox layout but it has asymmetrical sticks and I am not sure I should invest in a new one. The Pro 2 and the M30 and the USB adapter that I also have don't work as advertised.

Still thanks for the rumble tip. I will check it with both the Pro 2 and the Xbox One controller.

@Hikingguy I have tried this and I know it is a nitpick but I don't want to see the Switch layout, having more experience with the Xbox controller it confuses me. Even in this mode the controller disconnected randomly while I was playing Resident Evil 4 Remake and it was not pleasant. I play only wired for the tine being.

Unfortunately, I never had the Wii U Pro controller. I have heard only positive things for it.

@Serpenterror Thanks for the information ! I don't use beta and I only connect the controllers and they still disconnect randomly. I thought the USB Adapter would solve the issues but it doesn't. The controllers work fine wired though but I may have to invest in a 2.4 Ghz controller but all have asymmetrical sticks. In any case the problem that most 8bitdo controllers have the Nintendo Switch layout remains.

I cannot find a perfect controller for the Steam Deck. PS4 and Xbox controllers via Bluetooth disconnect randomly. 8bitdo Pro 2 controller shows the Xbox input buttons but it has the Switch ones printed on it and also disconnects randomly. The wireless USB adapter is advertised as working with the Deck but it doesn't.

I am open to suggestions. I really prefer symmetrical sticks since I play a lot of retro content and I want Steam to display the actual buttons I have to press...

I love those Gameboy games released from Incube8 Games. I have bought a lot of the digital versions

Those mechanical gaming keyboards very rarely have the local layout of my country.

I kind of get it why they maybe have at least contacted the OG creator but in the end of the day it is a job. I have personally some years ago created something and I am somewhat attached to it. If my former team/boss wanted to upgrade it or modernize it, why would they ask me? They would only maybe acknowledge my former work in the final version, nothing more.

I knew this one, I even have a replacement with the Metroid Prime logo that was included when I got the console.

Wow this is unexpected. By the way Pole Position the animated series might be one of the most 80's thing ever. In my country it was dubbed and given the title... Knight Riders!

I love Ghost Babel, I still have my PAL copy. You could argue it is semi canon but not important since it was a VR training mission for Raiden. For some reason I have never played the NES MG games. It would be cool if those games were included in some collections as bonus games.

For some reason Asus ROG ally is way more expensive in EU and UK? Anyway, I really enjoy my 409€ Steam Deck but I would really love a proper Windows 11 handheld with an attractive price point.

I have bought for work perposes various Asus laptops within the last 20 years. I have also one from the ROG line. Most really I used them for years without issues.

@Ooccoo_Jr I saw this but I just wanted a digital copy, not an expensive hardcopy that I will also have to pay custom and import gees for

They don't offer a digital copy for some reason.

Or you can softmod a Wii or Wii U and play GameCube games natively using cheap HDD connected via USB.

I guess this means no Master System mini... From Saturn and Dreamcast, I am not sure what I prefer. Maybe Saturn since some Dreamcast classics have already been ported to other platforms...

I love my Steam Deck and highly recommend it.

I have never ordered anything from keep retro or ali express. I guess I will face shipping, import and custom taxes that will end up doubling the price for European customers?

I will have to check it when I can. I cannot remember if I took a NAND backup though. Now, this topic hasn't been discussed back in the day? Where the quality of NAND flash memory was put to question?

What seemed to me as odd was that Nintendo advised against using USB flash storage media to store and run eshop games because they could not survive the constant read and write while they have supplied the Wii U with a hdd of similar technology.

I don't get it... A lot of people already have roms in the cloud. Retroarch, Retrobat, Launchbox, you can install them in OneDrive and dropbox and have your files everywhere...

As you can probably guess I am a huge fan of the series. SotN is my favourite game. After that Aria and Down of Sorrow.

To be fair, regardless of pure power, I paid 400 for my Steam Deck (that include tax and postage). All those handhelds, including tax, customs etc. will cost a lot more.

Wow great and interesting interview.

I don't know it seems off? I guess the game was balanced with Belmont's slow motion in mind and increasing the speed feels somewhat off...

Still very cool though, I will try the patch the next time I replay the games.

I was "lucky" to score some more Gameboys, some even with backlit screens, before prices started to skyrocket. A cheap clone console with a good screen is something I am interested in. I have a GB Boy but the d-pad broke for some reason.

I still amazes me that an affordable retro console (and a personal favourite of mine) like the Gameboy that you could get both the system and some popular games relatively cheap slowly increase...

After I got my Steam Deck I became addicted to retro achievements. I would love a secondary small game boy type to play up to PS1 device that supports them retro achievements but I cannot find a cheap one. This one is not for me...
