ININ? So like $750 but half of the game will be missing and I’ll have to wait two years to get the special edition version which will be about $1,400?

Awesome. Hope they get it right.

Sega of Japan was Tetsuo and and Sega of America was Kaneda. When the hierarchy changed from Americans doing business in Japan to the Japanese doing business in America, we get to the point of Akira where Tetsuo all of a sudden has all of this power. Meanwhile, Kaneda hires Tom Kalinski and brings out Sega of Japans jealousy and animosity while damaging it’s fragile ego. Tetsuo never understood it was about leadership skills and not power. Eventually, animosity turns to rage and Sega of Japan turns into an amoeba, destroying the whole company. A black hole comes around and sucks all of sega up and starts it from scratch as a software and arcade company.

When they announced that they were ditching consoles and becoming a third party developer, I was all like “bruh, I only bought your consoles for the third party games.”

Anybody that owned a Duo just imported it back then. CD's weren't region locked and Hudson didn't give a crap about the American market. What's the point of this release?

Gamefan was THE magazine for everyone into video games around my area (and that includes the kids). I probably latched on within the first few months of national distribution and followed the magazine up until about the middle of 1997.

Thankfully, most of their audience had just lived through the Image Comics explosion and so their sometimes spotty publishing schedule was met with shrugs.

One would think that this was "pre the internet", but I remember talking with Nick (who was VERY young) and a couple of others on Prodigy and I'm sure members of the staff had either that or Compuserve or Qualcomm or whatever and BBS access. Anyway, all of the crazy stories we know about today, we also knew about as they happened. I, personally, didn't get those tales from the horses mouth, but the "grown ups" (probably like 19 years old) at Babbages, half the country away, seemed to know every inner detail. TBH, how did these tales not spill onto networks and spread through the ears and mouths of video game retailers? The Cybermorph review was right there for everybody to read. :0

In my head is a horror story where the reason Panasonic went from making the best cordless drills in the industry to just giving up on their power tool division (coincidentally, a decade ago), was that they funnelled the money into developing a piece of crap NOKIA NGAGE wannabe.

Is there a module that takes a laser active module?

I’ve presumed,with these kind of articles you just simply know the adult Switch market and also with being British and all, well, Sega.
Prime example: I clicked on this article. I’ve skipped over every single one that mentions Pokemon or Smash Brothers.

Caps will fail, traces and contacts will corrode, expansion and contraction will work harden and (ultimately) crack everything. Nothing will prevent this.
