@HauntingNostrils It's a good idea to keep an eye on their updates via the Kickstarter page too. That may well give a better insight into what's happening.

I'm definitely going for the ultra one the very second it becomes available. It feels like a lost era of gaming those ZX and Amstrad CPC days, It was a time of bonkers titles from a whole raft of bedroom brainboxes - total creative and programming freedom. Plus people who think dark souls is hard have never tried to complete Roller Coaster!

@HauntingNostrils I wish I had the money to go for the top of the range version but I was unemployed at the time.

Hey, has anyone seen any mention of Flying Tiger's (I think) Johnny Turbo arcade. I remember reading something about Data East games releasing this winter, but seems to have gone quiet!

I never drive faster than I can see. Besides, it's all in the reflexes.

@BanjoPickles it would be better for capcom and sega to port their retro collections from the ps3 with some added game then do this.

I would say Konami games are a possibility as well as Taito as they already available on PS4, can’t see them not being released on Switch

@FragRed Been there, buddy, tough times. There's not much between the two anyway, and either will be glorious to behold. Just to play Into the Eagles Nest and Dynamite Dan II on my telly will be enough to put a smile on my face for a good old while!

Flying Tiger Entertainment will release their first Data East arcade classic next week in NA. First up in the new Johnny Turbos Arcade line is Gate of Doom and it will cost $7.99. It's an action RPG with multiplayer that I've never heard of before.

@OorWullie Appreciate the heads-up buddy.

I love me some Data East and although GATE OF DOOM aka DARK SEAL wouldn't have been among my first hopes for a Switch release, I'm happy to see these games are coming albeit if the company/label putting out these Data East arcade games hardly inspire confidence based on their name. Is anyone familiar with Flying Tiger or Johnny Arcade?

Fingers crossed the emulation is up to snuff as the screenshots included on the US eShop entry for the game look very dark, blurry and in the wrong aspect ratio to my eyes.

As for the game itself, the HardcoreGaming101 guys surmise: "It actually feels like an evolutionary mid-way point between the simple arcade action of Gauntlet and the slightly more elaborate hack-and-slash dungeon crawling of Diablo."

Dungeon and Dragons' influenced action RPGs aren't exactly a seamless fit for arcade over console based games and from videos it seems the game is rudimentarily walk about and attack stuff, however, I'll give it a shot as I recall having fun with the sequel WIZARD FIRE aka DARK SEAL II on the Data East Arcade Classics collection for the Wii. Moreover, I really want to support these companies putting arcade games out, especially from the 1990s (a decade often ignored by the hardcore purist but host to some amazing games).

@OorWullie Looks as tight as a bat's nostril! Never played this but it looks a lot like DUNGEON MAGIC which was one of my mame go-tos way back when. Excited!

The next 3 Neo Geo games from Hamster have been announced: https://nintendoeverything.com/neogeo-games-magical-drop-3-se...

We're getting FATAL FURY 3, MAGICAL DROP III and SENGOKU 2.

I'll definitely be buying MAGICAL DROP III, it is the best in the series and has an adventure/story mode. While SENGOKU 2 looks a big step up from SENGOKU in the beat 'em up stakes. So I'll have me some of that too.

Very light announcement, than usual. Will be getting Fatal Fury 3 for sure though, as Wii VC version is badly censored.

I imagine we'll get confirmation of at least another two Neo Geo games from Hamster in the coming weeks.

@Lroy Nice one, cheers. Just Sengoku 2 for me, been looking forward to that one. I already have Magical Drop 2, one of them is enough for me.I wish I hadn't bought it though and just waited for the superior MD3.

I'll get to making that high score thread asap

@OorWullie Yeah, I bought MAGICAL DROP II even though I knew from playing the games in the past that number three was superior. Oh well, I'll still pick up MAGICAL DROP III for sure.

However, I have managed to resist picking up the original SENGOKU and SUPER SIDEKICKS for this very reason. I prefer SUPER SIDEKICKS from 2 onwards and SENGOKU 3 is supposed to be better still but I'll likely take a chance with SENGOKU 2.

Yep. See you in the high-score thread. I'll be the one posting scores at the bottom of the leaderboards, lol!

@Lroy Yeah might be because they don't want to cram too much in one announcement, now there are other arcade stuff coming. Fingers crossed we get RBFF somewhere, along with Last Blade 2 and Super Sidekicks 2 (strong predictions).

MDII is ok. It has a certain charm and catchy music in high score mode, even if single player is a tad naff, compared to MDIII.

Has the UK/European eShop had a listing for the upcoming Data East game, DARK SEAL? I think it is listed on the US store as GATE OF DOOM.

Just wondering if we will get this day and date across the board. Kinda hoped we would but surprised no listing has been added the last time I checked. I think the game is due out this Thursday along with other arcade titles Psikyo's SAMURAI ACES from ZeroDiv and SNK's Neo Geo FATAL FURY 3 from Hamster.
