To all the people who complain about companies like LRG, we need them. Waiting 6 months for delivery of a game I can own is not that big a deal for me. Options are shrinking.

Tmnt!!! Cowabunga!!!

Runs??? I’ll pass on those, thanks.

Edit: Definitely getting this at some point, though.

I don’t play the Splatoon games.

Serious question: after the online goes away, what’s left? I guess if I was a super fan of this game I would probably buy it but if it’s live service then it would basically become useless. Again, I don’t really know much of this series beyond its design aesthetics and art.

I’ll be getting this so long as all games are on the cart and the reviews are good.

Edit: Have most of these on Saturn and Dreamcast, but a new tidy collection in line with the beat ‘em up and 30th anniversary Street Fighter collections would be a nice modern way to access them.

Konami was one of a handful of companies that set standards. Now they are a sad sack. And that saddens me. Lol.

I just want a ReBirth collection on a card… Please make it happen, Konami. Not interested in any of these crossovers.

I almost impulse bought this game last week and now I may stay away altogether. Please, complete this ridiculous overhaul before the game is for sale.

I really thought I’d like the Mario Maker games, but it turns out I only really like a couple stellar ROM hacks.

I was not impressed with the user created levels I played. I would much rather Nintendo not devote any resources to something like a new MM and instead deliver a new, instant classic 3D Mario.

@NeonPizza I never played Contra 4, but hear it’s very good. A port would have been better than what we got from the sound of it. This patch list isn’t even that; it’s a sizable “we didn’t come close to finishing the game” mid-development list. Insane.

Shameful list of update notes. Not even considering buying anymore. This is a prime example of “I made a mess, can I fix it later” culture of the last decade. I wonder how sales are going.

@dodgeskill100 thanks! Unfortunately, the ads don’t bother me, as I can X them out if needed. But now, on my phone at least, anytime NL posts their own video in an article and you scroll, the video follows you no matter where you go on the page and it eats up a large percentage of screen real estate. I find this just as bad as an ad, but it’s actually a choice made by NL from what I can tell.

Anyone know if there’s a way to x out of the NL site videos that follow you as you scroll down? I think it’s new this week, I don’t like it, and it’s much more bothersome than the pop up ads.

@zgillet haha that’s true and a good point! The sonic releases seem more incessant and the quality of games is typically quite a bit worse.

@RareFan funny you mention Sonic as their most popular franchise. It became their most popular franchise because it was fresh and cutting edge…now it seems like it’s all they make, and annually. Imagine if Nintendo released a proper Mario platformer every fall. Yikes!

Another Sonic game?

“Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?”

We’re quite far off and this sounds overly ambitious. Hoping this isn’t some live service clone wanna be game.

For the umpteenth time, why don’t Sega make smaller focused games based on beloved franchises that people associate with their brand? All we get now are sonic games and I haven’t even considered buying one in years. I had the Genesis games, Dreamcast stuff, and a couple others but they have so many cool series they could explore.

The Golden Ticket one-game meal ticket approach is such a gamble…why do that? It’s YEARS AWAY. Sega doesn’t what Ninten-do these days lol

Uhh…I wish these companies would just make something new or make a sequel or something.

Night Slashers is a cool idea for a beat ‘em up and I’m sure there’s more that could be done. Compared to the original this just looks worse. And as someone else just said, the original is already available for $7.99 (I think). So besides die hard fans, who’s gonna bite for this at double the price? I’m a pretty big fan and I see no need for this new one if it’s a simple remake.

All I want is better specs for 60fps and backwards compatibility with my cards, and lastly, as a bonus, my account to carry over so I can download my library of digital only titles.

Two screens for me is a waste as I play docked exclusively on the TV. Maybe that could be called the Switch U.

@Clyde_Radcliffe I do recall this being difficult, but only until I tried to help my little brother with Beauty and the Beast: Roar of the Beast on Sega Genesis. That game is ridiculously punishing!

It was a minor setback.

@Hero-of-WiiU good question; I use Y+B. B+A is possible, but put my thumb at an uncomfortable angle.

I’ve been playing with the Dreamcast fishing controller. This game is ridiculously hard!

Nah, just a Pro Controller. 😄

Ooh, one game. Running to my Switch to sign up!

Analogue CEO Taber: “Just f****** buy an NES, Super Mario Bros. 3, and a CRT already. End of story.” 😂

If I’d read this blurb and didn’t already own my Analogue Mega Sg and Super Nt, I’d probably laugh off this unprofessional official statement and move on from considering purchasing one.

Analogue products in my experience are as good as it gets with original carts and everdrives on HD sets, but that dude needs to read his statement back on the screen a couple more times before committing to posting… makes them look amateur.

Aww, missed last week’s comment party…

@JoeyTS does the sniping off limbs and exploding heads cheat still work in GTA III? That never made it to Vice City or San Andreas that I’m aware of. Curious if it’s in this port.

@Wheatly thanks! Maybe I’ll consider it on PS5 down the line. I don’t use the Switch in handheld mode.

Is this game really as unplayable as people keep saying? The load times seem really off putting.

For those that own, Is this game worth its price tag? From what I’ve seen, I’ll take the OG arcade trilogy. Less hassle, solid experience.

Not sure if this one’s for me but I hope all the MK fans are having fun!

The naming of this franchise may soon turn into a “Fast and Furious” lol 😂

I’ve avoided most gameplay clips up until now, and it looks like the game controls well, but I keep getting this ROM hack / Mario Maker user vibe in some of these clips that does not impress me.

I didn’t really think this felt like a Super Mario game until about five minutes in…some of what I saw in the video looks easy to the point of boredom, but luckily later it looked more engaging and fun. The constant barrage of stuff onscreen and sound effects seem…not as concise / focused as earlier Mario games. Almost seemed like a meme game for a few seconds but I guess I’ll see when I play it. I’m probably in the minority but I like the NSMB console games and feel like they are solid entries, though I understand why people think the series was tired after 4 games in a similar engine. Wonder seems odd, but I’m not sure if it’s good odd or bad odd for me just yet. I’m hoping to have a lot of fun with this one!

Though, I’m pretty sure I’m going to cancel my pre-order. I’ll wait on more footage. The music felt extremely predictable for a newer SMB game. I hope there are lots of new themes and some creative takes on old ones.

Just a few first impressions. Looking forward to seeing more from NL. Thanks for putting this video together!

@Everythingnotsaved @Don thanks for the replies! I may look into these next time they’re restocked 👍

@RiasGremory

But he can’t sell you the fixes

“We are only at the beginning.”

Thank you for being upfront. All I need to hear to stay away until there’s a complete, working game worth my money like in the old days. Lol the sadness of modern gaming.

Can these controllers be repurposed outside of NSO in the future, or will they become plastic artifacts in a few short years?

Would they one day be usable with PC emulation?

Konami. LOL. How sad and as always these days, disappointing.

I have basically ditched modern and will focus my time on retro games. Half the releases these days are just retro anyways…

@wizzgamer to legally sell these, LRG must obtain permission from companies that own these games, and along with that, pay the appropriate licensing fees. This is different from say, an Etsy seller making just a couple repro carts and selling them for profit (which is illegal since they don’t own it to sell in the first place). Not saying I don’t have a few 😅

Microsoft: The NeoGeo AES is not a console, it’s just a tiny arcade cabinet without a screen!!! 😅

@NightBeast The Lost World is quite good! I have all three of these on Genesis and the two on SNES but still have not beaten all of them. Very fun games indeed. The Lost World has some very impressive graphics design during some “encounters” 😱 if my memory serves. They all offer something unique. Kind of makes me long for that in games these days. That always excited me as a kid to see how the Nintendo version vs Sega versions differed.

Pretty insane that out of the six games in the collection they are all different. I say awesome!!!

T. Rex busting through the wall any second now. Get those darts ready!!!

*Velociraptor shrieking just offscreen

Hammond: “GRAAAAANT!!!”

*gunshots fired on the other end of the phone line 🦖

@nhSnork yes, it’s a great game!! I’ve not played all the way through. I better put it on my list!

Maybe someday they’ll release a second collection? Either way, I got what I wanted out of this first one now that Genesis JP and JP: Rampage Edition are included.

This whole thing seems kind of weird. When it was revealed, everyone clamored for the Genesis games, and they delivered seemingly overnight… maybe it was held back as part of the reveal to hype the game? But the pre-order has been live for weeks…and is only available until October 15.

I can’t wait until I get to play the raft level!!

That’s more like it!

I do have to ask why Genesis The Lost World is MIA I guess because it’s based on a follow up.

Now I’ll buy though

Unity? Solidarity?? I think not!

FINISH HIM

@samuelvictor No issue at all. To have a couple releases of an independent title over a couple years, one with lots of extra content for the fans is pretty exciting. If it's a game I really like I'll buy it again because I want to support that developer so they can keep making more games.

@RupeeClock That is absolutely ridiculous. I order from them every few months, and I know how long the waits can be when you've pre-ordered more than one game in an order. They don't ship until everything is together. BTW their shipping rates are total BS compared to just about everyone else.

I know, I'm part of the problem ordering from them but a lot of their releases are exclusive, and I'd rather wait to play with entire game on card than buy digital when possible (even though I've double dipped waaaay too much. Trying to get better on that).

@adh56 Thanks for the reply - I'll look into it!

“Got any rubber walrus protectors??”

“…Call the poliiiiiiiiice…”

@Sequel Thanks for the reply! Maybe I’ll try the same 👍

@PokemonDMG I’ll teach you to be happy…! 😃

I’ve not pre-ordered from Walmart before, at least not a game that came with extras. Will it be shipped so I have the game the day it releases? I’m pretty excited about this game so I definitely want to be able to play it day one.

Money’s gonna money.

Not because it’s just or reasonable, only “because I could get away with it.”

Pretty soon there’ll be a per-post charge on social media.

I voted X-Men, though more than anything, I’d like to see new original beat ‘em ups rather than a remake or reboot like Shredder’s Revenge. Luckily we’re getting lots of them these days. It’s just I’d prefer collections of the old games on a single card instead, like the Cowabunga Collection. That was great!

Unpopular opinion here, but I played through SR and outside of a buddy calling to play co-op online, I haven’t touched it since launch, though I have enjoyed other newer games like DD Gaiden, Final Vendetta, Mayhem Brawler, The Takeover, 99 Vidas, etc. much more than newer games using existing IP. Don’t get me wrong: SR is a magical love letter but I just don’t think I’ll be going back to it as much as other new beat ‘em ups. Same with SoR4. To me, the old games are untouchable.
