Looks cool but my analogue pocket can play games from more console/handheld/arcade, there's no way this handheld should be priced (nearly) the same as analogue pocket.
I prefer save point compared to password but my analogue pocket (and delta ios) support save state for gameboy games so it's okay I guess.
Modretro games list is pretty good so far, I'm enjoying the dragonyhm demo and I'm glad the developer plan to sell the rom file so I can play it on my analogue pocket or phone. If only there's a way to sync save file online between iphone and analogue pocket, it will be perfect 😃
I played the demo on steam, it's good, really good. It's more like contra nes rather than the more fast paced contra snes and nintendo ds, which I like 😃
Looks good, I do prefer more detailed graphics like snes game rather than nes though. Or more like atlus dragon crown , man that game 2D art is sure gorgeous 😃
It's kind of annoying that analogue seems more interested in milking this product rather than making the next one. I want analogue fpga with new nintendo 2ds xl like design 😕
Man what a good game wonderboy the dragontrap is, I wish other wonderboy games remastered like this game, using the same graphics style. There are one more wonderboy game remake but the 2D graphics style is not as good as wonderboy the dragontrap.
Man I really want 4K & widescreen remaster of the game, the graphics looks really good on psvita but kind of bad when played on big 55inch tv. Konami should at least port the game to switch, I really want to play it on modern portable console.
The gameplay looks just okay, for $20 I expected more actually, there's a lot of $20 indie games on steam that better than this. Weirdly the custor revenge reimagined looks more interesting than the main game lol.
Do mario games on nes and snes have different difficulty in japan and the rest of the world? Just make a fun games and people will buy and keep it for replaying it over and over.
For example double dragon 2 on nes is easy even on higher difficulty, but I replayed it over and over back then because the game is so fun, especially with friends.
Just watched the gameplay on youtube, looks like a fun platformers with funny story, I hope we'll get the english version on switch 😃
Edit: Okay, it seems I was watching the sega cd version, it has anime opening and smooth animations on the gameplay, but the NEC PC-8801 version is bad, it has no opening animation and the gameplay is so choppy. I really hope we'll get the sega cd version instead of the NEC PC-8801 one 😅
Early to middle xbox 360 era is so good, from great indies like braid and castle crashers to AAA games like gears and halo, I have fun playing my xbox 360 back then 😃
The game looks good, kind of like metal gear solid nes game. There's preview gameplay video on game informer youtube channel, but why there isn't demo on steam though? It's steam festival, the dev should put the demo on steam.
Man we had it soo good back then, psone, ps2, and dreamcast, for me that 3 console is the peak of gaming 😃
Nes and snes is like the start of gaming when it becomes good enough (atari 2600 games kind of suck), nintendo 64 is good too but the games available is just too small compared to others console. Nintendo and rare 1st party games on n64 rules though.
Isn't destroy all enemies and defend the universe too high of a goal, I means what happen when 2 forces in the universe fighting, who is the enemy and who to defend?
That depends on the games I think, I have no problem playing chrono trigger on analogue pocket with no save states because the game itself has save system and isn't hard, but there's no way I'm playing contra snes without save states.
But the annoying one is games like megaman x, I don't need save states for playing it, I just want to be able to save between stage, I don't want to use its password system. So sometimes I just play the snes games on my switch subscription service since it has great save states and rewind features.
Already tried this on my local mall, I don't like android as operating system for emulation (prefer fpga). I wish razer can make steam deck competitor with this design since steam deck is too bulky.
Cool, not interested since I already have analogue pocket, but the indie games listed seems great 😃
I think what we needs now is fpga console like analogue pocket but in new 2ds xl design with dual screen and great resolutions, I like my new 2ds xl but the screen is too low resolutions.
I love EGM magazine back then, always bought them from my local (import) books store. I also love gaming magazine special issue for console launch, it's fun to reads which launch game available for the new console.
@GravyThief I think the length of software patent like this should be 5 years, one console generations is enough for the maker of the patent, 20 years (4 console generations) is a bit too much and can stop the japanese 3D gaming development.
Pc engine/turbografx-16 didn't release in my country officially or unofficially, unlike nes/genesis/snes/psone etc, but if it's released back then, based on the pc engine games I've played on analogue pocket, I think this machine can be one of my favs console compared to nes 😃
I remember ngage hardware is underpowered for 3D gaming, its kind of impressive they have tomb raider 1 on the ngage though. I miss that era of mobile gaming, no greedy free to play and mtx yet in that market.
Looks really good, if the size is like iphone 15 (or pro) plus, it looks like it will be a comfortable device. I hope the dpad and analogue stick is high quality and comfortable to use. Also man, that gold colour is glorious 😃
It's nice to have all this emulator on my iphone, I already have delta on my phone and now with this, I want apple to make psp-like or analogue pocket-like device with ios 😃
@RupeeClock I like reading books but its more convenient for me to read it on ipad since I can zoom-in if the font is too small, and usually the price is cheaper too. Oh well, thanks for the info 😃
@GhaleonUnlimited Usually 3D games play better on psone, although 2D games is better on saturn. Sega saturn is like the wii u, it has good games, but not either genre defining or a lot of games, that's why most people don't have good memory of both console. More people remember nintendo 64 and dreamcast fondly compared to saturn and wii u.
Speaking of dreamcast, man it will be great if sega make dreamcast classic, there's just too many good games for that console 😃
No, I prefer psone and n64 compared to saturn, I own those 3 machine back then, and while the saturn has good games, nintendo 64 has genre defining games like mario 64 and golden eye, and playstation has all the games.
Still, both console pales compared to original playstation, man that machine is a beast, from 3D games like tomb raider and syphon filter, to 2D games like castlevania sotn, and rpg too like ff7 and suikoden, that machine has it all 😃
Hopefully a more powerful portable with dual analogue stick for psone & dreamcast classic, man it will be really cool if they partnered up with konami and make castlevania sotn (psone version) and dracula x rondo of blood (pc engine version) collection cartridge complete with manual, I'll spend $40-$50 on that no problem lol.
And maybe suikoden 1-2 psone collection cartridge too while they're at it. Also porting sega arcade games to evercade cartridge too.
