I see nothing wrong with what he's doing other than the the awful poster. At the end of the day you're going to this place to play arcade games. How he manages his business is up to him. The games are what matter.
I disagree with the random comment. I think it's great to see a series expand into spin-offs as long as it's nothing too ridiculous like pachinko machines.
Wait a second...didn't GOG recently vote through their Patron poll that this was going to be the game they remastered/preserve??? What's the point of a Patron poll when the results are what Nightdive are remastering already! Is it an amazing coincidence or are the poll results fixed?!
Why am I not surprised? The trailer has me excited. AI appears to be used not for art but for the processes involved so I don't see the issue. As long as the game is fun and the creativity is there (so not AI) that is what's important. I think the common consumer might not ultimately care, we'll see, but this article is definitely a moth to a flame.
@Quick_Man This is incorrect. The reaction I've seen has been a lot of excitement over the new game.
Not much footage here and from what they're showing off it doesn't really look like a SMS game at all, I agree with @N64-ROX, it looks off somehow but the VHS picture doesn't help. 🤔
My understanding then is Sega is looking for content creators to join them to market their games. A nice idea in practice although content creators don't speak for all fans and Sega will want a particular type of viewpoint regarding their current state. 🤔

Re: "It Was Extremely Hard To Say Goodbye To Crash" - Naughty Dog Founder On That "Abysmal" Universal Studios Deal
Typical. You make hit games and this is how you get treated.
Re: "The Single Largest Upgrade The Game Has Ever Had" - Sega's Ghostbusters Is Getting A Massive Overhaul
This is cool but I'd like more attention paid to making The Real Ghostbusters arcade game more in line with the cartoon with improvements.

@Martin_H Nintendo probably uses AI.

@Guru_Larry No one is noticing the structure looks pulled from Sonic Frontiers, not everyone is a Zelda fanboy.

Absolutely! Always important!

This is really dodgy GOG. 🤔

@PinballBuzzbro Probably.
Re: "I Have A Long History With This Game" - New Rushing Beat Shura SNES Fan Translation Aims To Undo The Original North American Localisation
@gmar In some cases they were correct to make changes however it was pretty silly to turn the music off for the game on start up.

@Sketcz I actually thought you uploaded it, d'oh! 😆
Re: Random: I Was Pranked By These Metroid Barcode Battler Cards, And Now I Wish They Were Legit
@Sketcz The video on Internet Archive that is linked to your account is yours isn't it?

Re: Surprise! The Developers Behind Cuphead Just Announced A New 8-Bit Spin-Off For The Sega Master System
Not much footage here and from what they're showing off it doesn't really look like a SMS game at all, I agree with @N64-ROX, it looks off somehow but the VHS picture doesn't help. 🤔
@Exerion76 This is indeed true.
Re: "I Think They Are Missing A Trick" - Evercade Boss Says The Games Industry Is Failing Older Players
What's missing are people working at the company who treat potential customers with some respect. Goes a long way. 👍
@stankybeans Yes because an emulation device and a console that plays new games is completely the same, I mean WTF dude??? 🤦♂️
@PopetheRev28 With not very friendly staff.
Re: Sega Launches New Initiative For Online Content Creators
My understanding then is Sega is looking for content creators to join them to market their games. A nice idea in practice although content creators don't speak for all fans and Sega will want a particular type of viewpoint regarding their current state. 🤔
Re: Rumour: Sega Might Be Releasing A Low-Cost Handheld With Removable Game Carts
I don't see the point of a handheld. Go all out and make a new console for these games to run!
Re: "Commodore Can't Survive Solely On Nostalgia" - C64 Ultimate Creator Will Announce Its Next Product Later This Month

Re: "The Important Thing Is That We Were Not Trying To Make A Vanity Project" - Enter The Matrix Dev Shiny Almost Made A Michael Jackson Game
Not too keen on Messiah style gameplay but it might have been really competently made.
