As the Emperor once said..."dew it!" 😊

@PowerPandaMods Oh thanks for correcting me. That's cool then.

@dodgykebaab Oh okay, I thought you were responding to Damien since he's on Bluesky.

@dodgykebaab Damien's views of AI are very constrained here compared to what I've seen elsewhere let's just say. 😂

@Sketcz I've been hearing from one person elsewhere who agrees with you. It does seem like a very soulless translation. The good news is that the only way is up and here's hoping someone takes over to do a better job.

@shiromar Interesting definition of what a criminal is. 🤔

@ChronosZero86 As long as the computer translation is examined and looked at by a human being that is what's important. Not a problem using AI to help with this.

@ChronosZero86 I didn't get what the issue was. AI was used sure, but a translator went over it for months in depth.

@Guru_Larry Unfortunately it won't be an original copy but nice try there Larry. 😂

This is a huge loss to gaming and preservation. Let's hope this stuff can be hosted elsewhere.

@shiromar Torrent from where though? That's kind of the point of this article.

@Ruka So what would you call preservation. Non-accessible content or the same out BS Nintendo shovel you every year?

@GodlessPreservation This doesn't really deserve a response but apart from the preservation and educational angles to playing roms when you're done licking the boots of all these companies that don't care about most of these games any more why not consider when you buy games second hand you are also committing to stealing against the original IP owners.

Feel free to come down from your high chair when you realise what a hypocrite you most likely are.

Godless Preservation indeed. 😆

"It's worth noting that this translation was made possible in part thanks to AI systems such as DeepL and ChatGPT 4o/4.5. This "playtesting" translation was then subject to a "substantial, months-long human translator review" according to the team behind it."

Okay, what's the catch? 🤔

Cool guys, well if they sort out their terrible Discord and customer service I might purchase it. 👍

Customs should pay for that! 😆

@Guru_Larry It's been dumped already and you can get it on Myrient and...oh...yea. 🙄

The reason the sequel was such a let down is because they made it with the Xbox in mind before the PC. The game was made as a console game so they stripped back all the features everyone liked about the original. It feels like half a game with it being streamlined like this.

It's always interesting to read about these platforms that are obscure outside of the west. Thank you. 👍

@Sketcz Too much outrage over that kind of thing I guess.

@The_Nintendo_Expat I think the problem is today we're getting less variety of AA and AAA games. Back in the 90's and 2000's there was more room to experiment and fail.

@The_Nintendo_Expat Like I said, they made a lot of average games but they all had something interesting about them.

@Mariotag A collection would be cool so you could experience better games in the series definitely.

Shining Force 1 and 2 are probably the best tactical RPGs out there. It's such a shame efforts to remaster the original for mobile failed. Even if the developers had made it for console/PC platforms Sega still would have made them lose the licence. We can only hope Sega decides one day to remaster these games for a collection but this is modern Sega so it's unlikely. 😪

@Mariotag One of the best you mean? 😲

They weren't the best developer but I'll take what I can get from resurrected companies considering they put out at least interesting work.

It would be nice if Sega took their finger out and actually remastered these games but obviously we know by now that's asking too much. 🙄

QuickShot was anything but legendary. 😆

Good news for sure.

@Cronodoug Yeah sure, if the hardware is utilised as much as it can.

No C64 versions and Turrican 3 is mysteriously missing. 🤔

I wonder if anyone appeared to say "Toasty!" 😆

Synnergist has an amazing easter egg. More games should have something like this. 😲

Well it's less embarrassing than having a crank on the side. 😆

"The Controller You've All Been Asking For"

Have we? 🤔

@jygsaw It's in keeping with the look of the original handheld and I'm not sure why.

For a minute, I thought this article was going to let us know how big the game was on cartridge. That would have been some news.

This doesn't need to be on the Dreamcast unless they take full advantage of the hardware.

Come on Sega, give us a collection of the games. 🙄

Seems like Sega are doing everything they can to bury their old games. A subscription service is not a good idea. 🤔

@Azuris I wouldn't mind an official re-release by Nightdive.

@N64-ROX I'm pretty certain at this point VGHF hates Europe. 😂

It's good to have this archive footage but the device itself is pretty bad.

Epic really needs to remaster their Unreal games. 🤔

Well done, I can imagine this being released back in 1993. 👍

He created my favourite games consoles of all time. Rest in peace. 😪

@Sketcz It looks really cheap and cheerless. Glad I'm not the only person who feels the same.

Looking very impressive.

They need to focus on talking about porting the games to SCUMM, not the games themselves.

@Peteykins Probably software emulation.

I'm sure Miyamoto will be very happy. 😂

@Tasuki The big problem is some of the achievements need to be revised. Lemmings SNES achievements are frankly impossible and half of them need to be removed.

@Damo discovers Retro Achievements.

Wait until he discovers certain achievements don't activate and the waiting time trying to get them manually unlocked because person who worked on that game's achievements left some years ago. 😆

Well...okay. It's something. 😲

@Bigmanjones Yeah those games definitely weren't part of the Cartoon Classics Pack. You got a good deal though. 👍

@Gamecuber I never liked the name Fang the Sniper. I'm not sure why it was changed to that.
