I still have my original copy in mint condition with manual, and the poster (which every Sega game came with during that era), I even have the ‘Sega’ seal sticker on the edge of the case, I’m cashing in to pay my mortgage off 🤔😁😀.

Seriously, there is no way this very ‘common’ game is worth this kind of money, it is just sensationalism to spike interest and prices by a company that works of commission of sales.

I regularly buy games, to play, and this type of thing, along with the ‘retro’ bandwagon is, for me, making it a financially unviable hobby to continue with, and will push more a more people toward illegitimate means of playing titles.

I’m hoping the bubble bursts, if only for my own selfish gains.

@HobbitGamer

Wow, jump on the guy who expresses an opinion.

I don't particularly care all that much to be honest, I exist and generally am kept busy with that.

For what it's worth I don't particularly see the point of people owning guns for 'leisure/pleasure' seems to be a recipe for disaster, which I believe is a pretty well proven point given the state of gun crime on the US.

I have no evidence, no research or for that matter any further insight than what I stated before which is simply, via experiencing a game trying it's best to simulate a real life act (ie hunting) I could well 'imagine' someone may then think 'you know one day I may be tempted to give this sport a go'. Because let's face it, it's not that much of a stretch for someone to make. Certainly less of a stretch than someone playing GTA and deciding to replicate some of that content.

Like I stated at the top of this comment, it is merely a comment, nothing I say has to be taken as fact. Fact of the matter is people do shoot animals for sport, it's their hobby, I'm probably a bit soft and just think is it really necesary?

@Cobalt

Sadly I agree, this could have the potential to act as a 'gateway' to folk whoy not otherwise of thought about maiming/killing defenceless animals. I don't advocate those actions at all.

Add compatibility with the Steel Battalion controller released for the original Xbox, that would be awesome (if not cumbersome).

Gonna check this out. 80's/90's were awesome for product advertising.

I had a Sega VHS around the time of the whole Sega 'Pirate TV' ad campaign for the Mega CD, guess that was around the same time this emerged. It worked on me, I bought the original Mega CD ( still don't like the look of the Mega CD 2, like a Panini press).

@Cobalt

This game doesn't appeal to me, but you could argue that you'd rather people play this than harm real animals.

That's food (farmed, not hunted) for thought.

@John_Deacon

If I remember rightly my Mum ordered it for me from a home catalogue at the time, took ages to arrive after launch i n the first place, so never bothered ordering a replacement. Seems some carts had iffy SVP chips, everytime I tried playing mine the car was driving in the sky, the track polygons weren't anywhere to be seen, no amount of reseting would solve it, a gutted 12/13 yr old I was.

@John_Deacon

I was an avid reader of computer magazines during this time. I remember getting caught up in the hype. Actually seeing it in motion on a shop demo unit, that was when you understood the hype and magic. I'd cycle with a friend into town, after school just to have a quick play.

In the end when I finally got my own copy of VR it was corrupt/faulty, never got a replacement. Until 5 yrs ago I picked an ebay copy, if Polymega works out I might get to play it

@nessisonett

Best reply of the day.

Roll on Polymega, with any luck they'll announce a N64 module and we can go back to the halcyon days.

@pbb76

No beef, I'll admit I didn't know it had this date pencilled in. The article here made it sound like it was just driopped with no pre-warning.

If the game plays as well as you've suggested I'll be going for it as I have been craving a decent racer.

@pbb76

I know, I saw a lot of those things your referring to, but it feels like, to me, that they have just woke up this morning and decided let them have it today. Instead of a more traditional confirmed release date.

Silent/sneaky release doesn't usually bode to well.

@sword_9mm

Not really an "apples for apples" comparison I would say.

Cleansing history

Intrigued, a Beneath a Steel Sky remake cod be cool, played it many years ago when released, and again last year, couldn't stop playing until I finished it.

Stability update?

@Knuckles-Fajita

And just like Pandas with their fussy eating, one by one they will become extinct.

Hope they used plenty of "cra-gl-e" to hold that thing together, Lego is just annoying when it's always coming apart in your hands.

I also think this Lego resurgence thing has gone far enough, personally.

I think this whole conversation of leaks is maybe missing the point.

To me it seems Reggie and Nintendo have got wind of people feeling a little underwhelmed by their E3 offering/presentation and have since made several public declarations regarding "more things to reveal in coming months" or let's blame the leaks for spoiling our presentation.

It all seems like a public front to mitigate the luke warm reception of their wares.

The Switch is flourishing, thankfully, but it does seem that Nintendo have been clearly caught out by their own success, a barage of Wii U games moved over to the Switch as a port or probably at a later stage in it's development worked well for the first 16 mths but now things are slowing up and gaps in prominent releases have appeared.

It will be resolved and they'll catch up, but stop blaming leaks for spoiling your reveals. This surprise culture wasn't even a thing in the 90's (that I remember) yet Nintendo managed to succeed then.

Everyone seems to want to follow the 'Apple' bandwagon of surprising headline grabbing announcements at conferences, maybe just concentrate on supplying a decent product and support in a timely manner.

@TommyTLG

Got it, thought as much, but wasn't sure as I've only ever been in it for all of 30secs at a time.

Great news, certainly more than my means and time can account for.

Few more announcements from E3 would be welcome though, Shenmue please!!!!!!

Took me atleast x4 rounds to get anywhere near a weapon for the first time.

What's the purpose of the area your in just prior to getting on the bus? Everyone seems to be smashing stuff up picking up weapons, but when I picked up a weapon I didn't have it after jumping from the bus?

As a family we have The Game of Life - Yokai Watch edition board game. Maybe they're going to put out a digital version, a la Monopoly. I, of course, am jesting. But we do own the Yokai board game.

Looks good. All it needs is a Steel Battalion type peripheral, a first person perspective. Maybe start working on some Labo concotions.

I think they're avoiding talking about it as they're going to announce Metroid Prime 5 & 6, due for approx release 2022 and 2024 respectively.

@TreonsRealm

Balls indeed, balls indeed.

For a minute there I'd thought Zippy had taken a wash with George!

Isn't Yoshi just the Jar Jar Binks of the Mario World?

His sad expression probably boils down to the stark realisation that life is hard...,.perhaps he should take a leaf out of the world of Pokemon and 'evolve', grow some wings become a bird (like the rest of his brethren) and fly away from that fascist Italian dictator, I mean plumber.

My children have watched some of the Sonic animated series currently on Netflix (UK), I've caught bits of it, actually quite funny script, just a more polished feature length version of that would work.

Cracking game, downloaded after reading this review. 15% in, very moreish so far, easy going. I'd recommend for what it's worth.

@Jack_Goetz there wasn't a shred of seriousness in my post, just jesting around, just playing around with the connotations of the tagline myself.

Enjoy the comedy!

@jack_goetz @yasume

"From the made that made a playable coat"

So some previous hack developed AI, using this intelligence it decided to create a gaming coat to solve humankinds shortfalls. Once completed it had time on it's hands, recognising the declining level of eyesight in the general population it decided a larger screened Switch was the way forward, by increasing it's bulk it's secondary purpose of reducing muscle atrophy and osteoporosis was fulfilled.

The tag line is relevant see, you just need to know the background story, that's all.

Heavy

Interesting "ath-leisure" fashion choices

I haven't seen the 'tweets' or museum section, but to clarify, this was a proposed port of Street Fighter, not Street Fighter 2? Seems some are muddling the story? Would've of been a step up from Urban Champion!

I like the original controller!

People who have played an N64/owned one will know what to expect with a 'mini' no need to create some mutant offspring.

Just did some fact finding, seems like a pretty legit leak, found this image on SNK's webpages:

https://www.snk-corp.co.jp/us/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/miskgf_3.jpg

An image of Zhihui GE, Chairman of SNK Corporation, presenting Mr Bader Al-Asaker with a gold version of the Neo Geo Mini, due to some collaboration.

Here's the article:

https://www.snk-corp.co.jp/us/press/2017/113001/

Clearly this device is small, but genuine images it would seem, if not the games list...,.

I'm intrigued by this, but I can't help but wonder if some of the details are incorrect. Proportionally a 3.5" (diagonal) screen with the controls fitting pretty much within the same width as that screen, sounds very cramped. The width of a 3.5" screen must only be around 3" or so.

Also, due to the nature of play with a stick setup, you wont be as closely positioned to the screen, making that screen size even less likely a viable option.

I've no issues with the concept, I'm just hoping they've got the screen measurement wrong in the leak.

Easiest way to know would be to scale out the sizes of the known connector sizes (hdmi, usb etc..,.).

@PtM

Touchè

Chose or choose?

Sorry for nit picking.

Shenmuuuuuue please. Power Stone would be great, but don't think it was a Sega game, just happened to be on the Dreamcast.

Suck. Would get this day one, really enjoyed it on the dreamcast. Fingers crossed they are holding back for a Ninty Direct announcement.

Awesome, can't wait until they produce a Mega CD mini, and then rush out out a 32x mini, just in time to compete with a Saturn mini.

All joking aside this will be cool.

I was all over this until I read 'French' language only. Massive fan of SF too, dating back to the build up of the original SNES release or WW, my brother showed me it and we bothed drooled over the magazine features, memerising the various character moves prior to release.

Keep us posted if an English language version emerges.

Just added this to my childrens iPads from iBook, so now available for those having difficulty yesterday.

"We don't do duvets!"

Can't believe they included screen wipes, appears somebody has a sense of humour. Good work.

Feel sorry for the Switches that have to be wiped down though. Those buttons will never function the same again.

Don't mess with the 'Chu!
