I did pre-order this. Still would have preferred a cartridge shell like they did for Gaiares than this green bootleg looking one. Oh well. Its good enough for me anyway.
It would have to be playing the Atari 2600/VCS around 1980. The first console my parents bought when I was in my fourth year of existing. Combat was the pack-in game so I imagine that's what I played first.
I'm hoping Hamster will now focus on releasing more licensed arcade games and finally launch that "Console Archives" that was reported on back in late 2021.
One of those rare arcade games that surprised me back in the day with all the blood and gore in it. Though I had played Chiller and N.A.R.C. prior. Thought it was fun enough back then and will certainly shell out the $8 for a digital version.
Not a fan of Mazinger, but if Hamster gets any licensed Capcom, Konami, or Data East I'll be there. Would be nice to see Area 88/U.N. Squadron, the Aliens vs Predator beat 'em up, Konami's 1990 Aliens arcade game, The Simpsons, X-Men, Bucky O'hare, and Data East's Robocop to name a few.
I got the game years ago before prices got too crazy. Its okay, but not worth the asking price today.
Sega really should give gamers some modern legal means of playing Saga. Same goes for most of Sega's vast library that aren't Mega Drive/Genesis games.
Capcom seems to have been pushing nostalgia hard with the initial release including all 8 original World Warriors from SF2. Shoulda had at least one of them on the cover with Luke or some other new fighter.

@Milk_ indeed it is.
Re: Old Enough To Remember The Original Game Boy? Then Think About Screening For Cancer, Says Charity
That is decidely not an official-looking Gameboy. So we're okay.

Re: What The Heck Is This Mystery Object In Super Castlevania IV?
I've always taken it as a depiction of Dracula's castle but poorly implemented in the background layering.
Re: Review: TechnÅs Arcade 1 - Double Dragon 2 (Almost) Worth The Price Of Admission
Strange that its part 1 of a Technos collection, but includes Double Dragon II instead of the original game.
I think Evercade has done this before though, where the original game in a series comes in a later edition.
Re: Treasure Wants To "Make Something" Next Year
There was a rumor of a Guardian Heroes remake from a few months ago.
Re: The NES Classic Shadow Of The Ninja Is Getting A Remake For Modern Consoles
Looks decent. A little cuter/less serious in tone than the original. The female ninja's thighs are massive this time around, too.
Will grab a PS4/5 copy when it launches.

Re: Coin-Op Gore-Fest Splatterhouse Joins The Arcade Archives Range This Month
Will grab it on PSN. Don't think I'll bother with it on Switch since its on Namco Museum there which I have already.

Re: 'Anniversary Wonder Boy Collection' Gets A Digital Release Next Year
@Damo Good to hear.
Re: 'Anniversary Wonder Boy Collection' Gets A Digital Release Next Year
So Japanese exclusive most likely? At least you can get other region games digitally on Switch and PS4/5.

Re: CIBSunday: Soldier Blade (PC Engine)
Great game.
Grab it on the Wii U Virtual Console before the end of March next year if you want a legit digital copy.
