Just seen a game I have on the Saturn listed in the eShop for 10th Feb. Exhumed (or Powerslave in US), ported by same team as Shadow Man / Turok. Absolutely love this game
@SwitchForce The remake version of Epyx Mission Impossible is already available on eShop. I don’t have it (I am still waiting for sale on this), but I believe the original is included.
Also, Saboteur and Saboteur 2, from the excellent Durell, are also available on the eShop. These were also fantastic c64 games
Hopefully there is a sequel that will have Chase HQ, SCI, Operation Wolf / Thunderbolt, Bubble Bobble, New Zealand Story, Rainbow Islands, Arkanoid, Pang…..
Vice City, Wave 103, Animotion Obsession, ABC Poison Arrow, Gary Newman Cars are all in the game. Only been playing Vice City, not heard every station play yet, but the above songs are definitely there, so is Jon Wait Missing You
I’ve been playing Vice City for the last 4 hours. It’s not good, but I think it’s no worse that the original. Although when I used the remote helicopter to bomb the building site, the explosion felt like a drop to 1fps lol. Also, a lot of the music that was previously listed as not present (poison arrow, animotion , are just 2 examples) are in the game. I am still having fun, but I would say a few patches needed. Not played the other 2 yet
@B_Lindz I also played this many times before on other systems. I still have the Cartridge. I have tried the NSO with the N64 Controller. I have not so much noticed the lag, it’s more the graphical glitches that bother me, it really does take away the shine & polish of the original. Mornings on Hyrule Field just aren’t the same.
Starfox and MarioKart look fantastic (the change of Fog doesn’t bother me with MarioKart, but for Zelda, it does)
It worries me on how Majora’s Mask will look
Regarding not being able to reach all buttons, it was never intended to the user to reach all buttons. The N64 Controller was designed to held 3 different ways, depending on the game being played:
1. LH D Pad, RH Buttons 2. LH Analogue, RH Buttons 3. LH D Pad, RH Analogue (not sure if this was ever used) (4th could be Dual Analogue with 2 Pads, works for Golden Eye)
At that time, this was a first for Analogue with Console gaming (although I am not sure if Saturn was 1st with Nights)
