What does this have to do with retrogaming?

A collector would definitely spend money on it. It has nothing to offer to the common retro gamer though.

Link?

Even if Sega came out with a new console, who cares? Traditional consoles are dead.

Sonic Adventure fans be like:

Original Ninja Gaiden trilogy is great (I hate Ninja Gaiden II’s stage hazards but still).

Super Mario Kart… eh, it’s pretty average compare to the kart racers that came after it. It’s not worth playing beyond curiostiy or nostalgia.

There is nothing wrong with Super Mario World but for some reason it doesn’t quite click with me.

Battletoads would be a fun game if knew what the fuck it wanted to be.

Original Metroid? It’s kinda jank and a pain to play without a map, just play Zero Mission.

Zelda’s overworld can fuck right off, I swear it’s only there to sell strategy guides. Dungeons are fun but if I already dumped 50$ on the game in the 80s only to realize there is no way to get through it without a guide or a magazine I wouldn’t be super jazzed.

Tetris is a timeless classic.

Atari was great until 83, I think Activision’s 2600 library hasn’t aged one bit. It’s all downhill from there, computers were the place to be for Western titles back then.

My condolances.

In today’s gaming envoriment large companies can make promise after promise, deliver on none of them and walk away like nothing happened. The worst thing that can happen is some people calling you bad names online. What makes you think advertisement would be more ethical at a time no one gave a shit about gaming?

And the crowd goes mild.

That’s actually part of why I didn’t enjoy Gradius and Life Force. At that point it’s not a fun challenge, it’s just bullshit. In Contra you can do pretty good with the starting weapon, even if it’s not ideal.

There is a pretty fun metroidvania called The Weird Dream that I only know about because FitGirl repacked it. They don’t seem like a threat to me.

Style, visuals, characters and the gameplay all look pretty cool. I think the question is if it’s going to manage to reach a large enough audience?

I don’t know, I think even back then PS1 and Saturn had the better controllers.

Oh hey, they finally remastered games that would benefit from it.

It would be very interesting to see what the Angel of Darkness remaster will look like. Honestly that’s one of few games I’d love to see get remade, Core had a lot of plans for the title that didn’t make the cut due to rushed development.

I’ll definitely try usenet when I have the money to pay for it, niche content without jumping through private tracker hoops sounds awesome. Though I also love torrents, so it could go either way in the end.

They buried Vinnie on a hill, overlooking a little river, with pine cones all around.

Oh hell yeah! Doomers did it again!

Nah, that was a reboot. And it kinda sucked.

I’ve never heard of Ratalaika Games before.

The game seems quite fun, I actually liked the first Zelda (even if it was incapable of guiding the player in anyway the gameplay loop was great). So I would love to give this a shot.

That’s some awesome 2000s coverart! I want to give it a try now, I love shooters.

Edit: Shiny Entertainment guys made this? Now I definitely want to play it!
