@sketchturner You and me both. N64 is the only console I still have such old games I'd actually want to play and for which emulation still is pretty bad outside of a few games. Everything else I feel has either been re-released already, available digitally in a better version elsewhere, or just not worth playing anymore.
> Capcom Home Arcade [...] has [...] a more agreeable selection of games.
Wholeheartedly disagree. The main issue I see with Capcom's arcade and what keeps me from even thinking of getting one is that IMO it has almost no games a Capcom fan would actually want to play regularly, and the ones that you would have been released elsewhere already. While this SNK arcade has pretty much all SNK games you'd want in a nice package.
The real question is just whether whether you prefer SNK over Capcom.
I regularly play KI1 on my Xbox regularly. In hindsight it's a really flawed and simplistic fighting game, but I still love it, I spent way too much time playing it in my teen years. KI2 had some cool additions, but IMO didn't feel the same. I hate the new one though, I want to like it, but can't stand playing it. The characters look awful and there's way too many effects going on.
@Zidentia I say the opposite, almost nothing worthwhile came from Rare after Nintendo. They did well selling Rare. They had good times with the SNES and N64, but it ended there.
Comparing this to Ouya in any way is apples and oranges IMO. Looks good though, if the price is right and is easy to buy one (unlike the NES Mini) I may get one.
Always good to read this sort of inside look at "how the sausage gets made", "warts and all". MGS TS is the only MG game I've ever been interested in, as I don't usually like stealth games.

You can make a drinking game of when DF uses the word "bespoke"

Re: Hardware Review: Does The SNK Neo Geo Mini Outclass Nintendo's Classic Editions?
@SuperWeird Thanks for making me realize I don't quite need this, I just want it
Re: Hardware Classics: Uncovering The Tragic Tale Of The Philips CD-i
I remember seeing these on TV back in the day, and really wanting one. Little did I knew there were hardly any games to play in them.

Well there's your problem... This alone says to me they have no idea what they're making or for what audience.

Re: Modular Console RetroBlox Could Be The Ultimate Old-School Gaming Platform
If they add Dreamcast and/or N64, I'll definitely get one.

Re: Feature: The Making Of Turok: Dinosaur Hunter
The original Turok is the only game I've bothered to play and finish on the hardest difficulty. Such great memories. Thanks for this article!
