I don't dislike Limited Run Games as much as it seems a lot of people do but they do seem to be making a lot of little mistakes these days that give room for reporting that make them look bad
The naming won't do anything to confuse people, this is a niche product, everybody who wants to find it will be able to and nobody else will be looking anyway. The name MiSTeR itself doesn't bring across any idea of what it does and we all found that fine.
The first Rhapsody was released in the West already on "Prinny Presents NIS Classics Volume 3: La Pucelle: Ragnarok / Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure" on the Switch, just for more info to anybody who wants it
Very interested in every EGGCONSOLE release (though I wish somehow they could throw English in!) but this one I might skip because it is already available in English looking pretty much the same on the NES version
Kind of a dud of a choice or me, tbh. The market is flooded with Atari nostalgia at the moment and anybody who has Atari nostalgia already has 4 or 5 plug and play emulators in their closets
I was really hoping for a Spectrum Mini tbh, but was expecting a A500 Maxi though.
I'd rather just have them released as is on the Switch, or if there are remakes then also releasing the original in the same package. One weird thing about videogames is that people think you have to upgrade everything to resell it, imagine if every classic book was rewritten before being republished.
This article really hits home, I spent so many hours on this game when I found it (on HOTU!) and I felt it had so much to see and felt so lived in and loved. I really really love this game, haven't touched it for years, am downloading NICE now and will have to figure out how to play again
am I kind of annoyed that I preordered the physical edition from Strictly Limited like a year ago and still haven't gotten the game but I was patient because it was the only way to get the games and now they are releasing it digitally and I could have just done that....
I used to subscribe to Switch Player and it was fine and nice to get something in the mail each month (and then eveyr other month) but it didn't really have anything unique to justify it. The reviews, not to disrespect those that wrote them, were just the kind you can read on any website, like NintendoLife, and the features were also the "Here's the history of ____" you get online as well. I don't know what the answer is to make it feel unique, but it just didn't for me.
I have every Evercade cartridge and have a Founder's ed of the VS, but I still feel like a little momentum has been lost (partially of course out of their hands). The last carts have all been delayed, which is one thing, but there doesn't seem to be many new carts for the entire year so I hope there's a raft of updates on future carts.

Re: $99 MiSTer FPGA Clone Finally Has A Name, And It Hasn't Gone Down Well With Everyone
I'm saying the naming is not a mistake and that it doesn't matter

All the people who stand to lose money on the more expensive one being priced out are looking for reasons to poo poo it.

Re: Gallery: Unboxing The Atari 400 Mini
It's all just my personal bias but I expect this to be cheap very fast as I feel like the market for it is super tiny.
