He's right. End of story.

He's not being disrespectful, he's being honest.

It really bothers me how many amazing games are only (legally) available through a streaming based emulator with horrific input lag.

Just port the games...

Haven't bought an EA game in decades ... Not gonna change that.

For those genuinely interested in this topic, I highly recommend checking out the book "Pure Invention: How Japan's Pop Culture Conquered the World" by Matt Alt.

It dives into the "Japanese pop culture invasion" of the Americas and recounts the decades of strong anti-Japanese sentiment and how video games were at the forefront of that culture struggle.

I can honestly see the connection here, even if it might not be intentional by the creators of the game.

I just bought the original version what the heck

The situation over at SLG is worth its own in-depth article. It's been extremely fishy over there, with no clarity or transparency at all.

Is it M2? Why wont they say who made it?

I wish they released these earlier than december and in higher quantities. They disappear FAST.

I always come back to this game and Gaiden. The absolute peaks for the franchise.

I'd love a port of either to modern consoles, but I'm not sure I trust konami to not just farm it out to the lowest bidder...

@belfastgonzo The genesis was also more popular than the SNES in america for most of its lifespan.

I'm honestly not confident these folks can pull this off. The team has no experience on these types of games and parts of that trailer looked rough and basic.

I'd be more excited if an experienced developer was involved.

Pretty cool except for 1080p output. I'd want composite or RGB Component.

Wait, is there no way to buy it anymore? What's the point of reprinting a game like this if it's pre order only..m

I guess I do have an old NES around somewhere... but not a famicom...

I hope this gets a modern port or you can buy the rom!

I feel like it's pretty brazen and unnecessary to say they shouldn't publish indie games anymore. They are sometimes the only way to get those indie games and I'd much rather innovative and creative indie games over a sloppy collection for Castlevania ROMs.

Also if you think LRG is bad, I dare you to look into the rabbit hole that is Strictly Limited Games!

Talk to me when they're brave enough to do Darius as a mini cab.

Shinkawa's redesign of the Gotengo is excellent anyways!

YES!!!!!!!

Heres hoping this means Border Down can't be far behind...

did they pay his estate? Are they trying to use his likeness as public domain?

Sticking to his kaiju/game roots, he also provided art for the kaiju video game, Dawn of the Monsters!: https://preview.redd.it/dawn-of-the-monsters-art-by-yuji-kaida-shinji-nishikawa-v0-xr0nfqo2sdac1.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=34380e0c7bb36bcd642e6a6dec347170f50f43b8

I've been playing this on the Egret II Mini and it's quite fun! Great update on classic Qix gameplay.

I hope these come to console.

The issue with PC gaming is everyone's setup is different...

I will say i've been really really enjoying using the Egret II Mini trackball paddle controller

Well, I'll probably cancel my SLG order so I can get the game this century.

@Gs69 that's good to know, but I already have a brook adapter. Maybe that would work too?

@Andee I'm sure some of them have been fixed but the graphics I don't think ever were.

Still waiting on my Retroid Pocket 2S. Still seems like the best one of these under $100 USD.

This is really cool. I'd rather it on switch, but glad either way. The HD version was smeared with a nasty filter.

Manabu Namiki is a legend. Greatest Contra OST ever.

Its a shame they only started communicating with their consumers when it got bad enough that rumours they were going bankrupt started to spread.

Ship me my 4 games and then I'm done with them. I'll rely on Japanese import retail instead.

Oh great, I was just saying to myself

"I'd like to add another game to the pile of unshipped stuff from SLG!"

Not buying. Will get JPN physical instead. SLG has fallen.

Incredibly rare and fantastic version of Darius II.

I already got it on Taito Milestones II, but this is cool for folks who just want this game.

In the time it's taken SLG to not even start shipping their copies we've got a steam port of the game... Sheesh lol

I did not realize it was more than a promo account for the mobile game.

If this worked for Switch I'd buy it immediately. Perfect for the NGPC collections.

Isn't this game owned by Atari? Is this unlicensed?

@PinballBuzzbro I mean, Darius Console was a kind of bunk collection but Darius arcade ruled and given the quality of the games and emulation I thought it was a fair price.

I'm confused... Will this be open to the public or just for her own personal use?

If it's for the latter, who cares? Why flaunt it in our faces?

@YANDMAN and yet the description reads:

"charting the impact of systems such as SNES, Mega Drive / Genesis, TurboGrafx-16, Amiga, Game Boy, N64, PlayStation and Xbox"

Wait.. it shows an arcade on the cover... Does it cover arcades? Or just home consoles? I'm confused.

each of these updates has caused more problems than anything else. PS3 is insanely buggy now.

@SonOfDracula you can run legal games using free emulators lmao

Just rip your own ROMs or run from your own disc

This has to be the stupidest thing I've ever seen.

It's an emulator with a subscription model.

What the hell is this? Who is this for??

Surprised to see so many major snuffs, especially considering the Golden Chicken Awards just happened: https://www.brawlersalley.com/home

Worth checking out for more "under the radar" games that reviewed very well.

I get that it's related to SEGA classic arcade IP, but still really bummed to see mobile games on TE lol.

Just not my thing.

I really dig Light Bringer. I've got it on PS2.

I dont have a 3DO or a PC CD rom drive... if this was on PS1 or a modern port id be more interested.

Normally I'd be really disappointed and disgusted by this, but since we actually do get real street fighter games still, I'm just reasonably disappointed and disgusted.

I generally try to support developers, but if the developers don't give us high quality, then I'll play it however I find it best.

A good example of this is Nintendo. I own many Nintendo games in original cart form and digitally, and I think NSO is a terrible sub service with substandard features so I play the games through emulation.

Or the Psikyo collections filled with lag and without save states or basic features. They are actually superior when emulated.

I feel no need to support massive corporations, especially when their products are substandard.

But if a developer (like M2) actually puts in the effort to make it the best possible version, I'll pay top dollar.

SEGA of A is still like this
