@Poodlestargenerica not sure if you're agreeing with that his ad embodies the wasfullness, or you think it is a comment of wastefullness that everybody buys nice but not needed stuff....
Anyway.. i thought Apple had moved on from 'your ipad replaces everything' to 'your ipad can be an integral part to support your creativity, and your creative projects' .... in that sense this seems more a commercial from 10 years ago...
Thanx for the article.. handy to reference.. For most games soft emulation is just fine for me.. alwyas have my miyoo in my workbag..
But playing on my analogue pocket gives a number of games something (and setting it up these days is easier than pre steam pc gaming)
Now my set up is : until 16 via pocket dock, arcade setup… gc and wii on wiiu..some switch online..xbox 360 and some minis readys to go, old consoles under a crt in the attic ( but not playing them that much anymore)
I am a big sensible world of soccer playing (going to world cup this year in denmark) and for that fpga is the only way.. amiga emulation remains timing wise difficult..
(The community has chosen a different path at least for the online competitions: reverse engineerd the amiga game so that runs on modern pcs…)
I saw a youtube video on it, but still confused, is this just the original rom (but then a release in us format (and no cybernator and censorship) and deluxe), or is there any link with the declassified (https://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/switch-eshop/assault-suits-valken-declassified) which i enjoyed last year, for the new translation that offered
the place is important, the buidings just random office buildings.. maybe google can redeem itself by making a nice monument with some arcade cabinets inside
@delt75 you could look at pixelcherry ninja's video, but basically you should look for prg files (óne load c64 collections), then use the core menu, then go to the virtual keyboard to select the prg file and then type run and enter...
I have seen it on lots of places.. this was really the time where the DS was everywhere so this gave more 'serious' shops a reason to stock DS games...
Allan Carrs methods is very well known too, so i can imagine many saw it as a accompanying app to the book...
I have one, and it's very niche, but it has so much personality... love the community fel and weirdness around it (but that maube around other niche devices too , the aduino boy etc)
for the complaints about the price... we're talking so little volume here, that it is just what it costs .. for those prce cuts you need volume... (but i agree in that playtime vs price my miyoo mini scores much better) and they don't 'need'to sell more since it's a side project for panic...
lovely the difference in game sizes... wonder if ever i can fill those 4 gbs...
and 2 games per person is nice too, seeing you get 24 for free ..and don't forget this is outside the games sold on itch.io (@damo maybe you sohould mention that in the article (oh you sore of do)), which was for a long time the only wat to buy games
Have the japanese team, felt like little magic... bit overtaken by warioware because that incorpates most of its games with- more modes.. will put it my analogue pocket tonight just to admire its box..
@AJB83 well we can debate over revolutionizing in semantics but for me it has gove new dxcitement to the scene with a new approach.
And agreed the the miyoo mini eg is so user friendly now for Most things, but for other rhong eg amiga emulation (i play in the world cup of sensible soccer where timing is every thing) fpga makes a hell of a difference.
Love my software emulation solutions but now excited every week when i see the jotego updatss..
Does anbernic just checks miyoo's website and tries to copy their ideas? (and how many more models do we need of this kind of thing.. my miyoo mini plus feels sort of perfect tbh)
ah remember those games, would love to play some alpine skier again... And always interesting to see thsat japanese games industry is more mature that lots of gamer think...
@Poodlestargenerica yeah that's what i was thinking too.. i already have gb advance wars in my libreary..
still mostly for the curiosity,, they seem to miss the flow of the advance games..and it is slow...maybe should put it on turbo on my miyoo or something
@mystman12 maybe but they won't, i would like a tg16 adapter, but not the rest, and now i won't be buying anything (although i was trying to make a dead with another dutch man to share some costs..)
@gingerbeardman that's true.. i'm ok with buying it, sorry to have sounded to sour... just wondering how to place these reviews in a bigger picture.. (and how much i can trust it as a buyers guide)
@gingerbeardman interesting to read this... this seems indeeed like the ideal situation... (btw buy Matt's games, they're great!)
@damien is this site becoming a playdate paltform? kind of notsure what to think of the reviews now, bogutht the tetris clone yesterday (okay but nothing special) and began to wonder why it was covered.. it seems every playdate game gets a 9 here now, and it makes it difficult to choose
1. interesting to play llamatron as a twin stick shooter, completely changes the dynamic (far easier but still)... play the amiga version on my pocket at times...the amiga is basically ignored it seems btw,, 2. indeed dissapointed in missing his later work, since there are some interesting questions to be answertd, and i would have loved space giraffe on the switch (i already had tempest 2k , after atari age) 3. but happy to be able to play the Multisystem...
it's playdate week on time extension? not sure why playdate is relly retro except the screen bw look ofcourse, but i'll take it.. lots of excuses to bring the cute yellow machine with me
Happy with blast corps… one of the truely original n64 games which i havent played for quite some time.. nso n64 controller in the charger to play this when i come home
Love shmups and cherish my playdate, so i got this on release (and had some nice interactions with the developer, nice guy)… technical marvel, but have to admit it doesn’t click that much… it’s had from the get go, when my eyes are still getting used to screen… really would benefit from an easy first level…
Playdate is better at ‘playdate’ games i guess… but still worth a try for every owner.. especially when that novice mode comes out..
Good to see discussion, personally i really don't 'feel' the DKC games... and think they are and always were ugly (yeah the SNES can do pseudo 3d rendered things), for me the n64 games shine i think ... Blast Corps is a true original idea... and diddy kong the best kart racer of the era.. And goldeneye has been very important... ( not really feel the need to play it right now, although n64 shooting is very satisfying)
see of thieves i tried but couldn't really get into... imagine it is fun if you feel like the top dog pirate..
Depends a bit on the game.. I still play Swos because it's simply the best football game every created, and the community is still alive (and keeps sensi up to date)
then you have the discovery part: pc engine because you didn't have it here..
and a bit nostalgia... amigavision on the pocket does that...
