Topic: Antstream: Retro Gaming Reborn

whilst im always highly suspicious of kickstarter campaigns this one really caught my eye:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/234135283/antstream-retr...

This is basically a Netflix style service for retro gaming. Switch is not confirmed as being supported (yet) but I really like this idea. I wonder if Nintendo would allow this type of service?

I've decided to back as I can always boot this up via my android tablet but just imagine the possibilities of having this on the switch!!!

Looks pretty expensive. $70/year is the discounted price, not sure if they've said what the actual price is yet

the campaign is doing well at around 74% funded. looks like its going to get funded. The Switch is on the roadmap to be implemented. I'm just unsure how Nintendo would view this and if they would allow it or not. It certainly would be a perfect fit for the platform

fully funded now! switch is on their 'roadmap' who knows when and if this will launch on switch but I really hope it does!

the beta for this launches today!

I don't see any mention of the Switch when I skim the kickstarter. If this picks up steam I will read reviews on the service. It seems to be streaming games, which I am not really a fan of...

Switch is on their roadmap! Obviously getting Nintendo on board I imagine won’t be easy . For now I’m beta testing it on my Mac . It’s really fun so far , lots of arcade , Amiga , Commodore 64 , spectrum games and a few mega drive games too . It’s far from perfect of course. It’s a bit laggy in places but mostly the games have been playing really well and they have challenges which are really fun ,
