Managed a 4th place finish in Grand Prix behind three Japanese players, which I was pretty happy with. Give me BS content and SP modes and irs day one for me, loving it so far.
Must just be me that's made up for this - the original is still my favourite. Some single player content to purchase would be nice though, such as the BS cups that never made it out of Japan.
@nocdaes I'd love to see some proof of this. Hamster's emulation is usually top-tier, and none of the places I frequent have picked up on these issues.
@Goofonzo Glad someone agrees. Fun at first, but you hit a point where you're madly OP on every run, and it boils down to hitting every compass point within the time limit to beat the boss. Its a skinner box, though I do appreciate that at least they haven't resorted to paid unlocks, it's the sort of game that seems almost designed around them.

I don't need any more controllers. The Sonic one looks cool though......
Layer Section was decent, nothing like Cotton or Guardian Force in lag terns. I'd also prefer M2, but at the rate they're releasing, could easily be 2 years yet until Batsugun. Plus, this will have Special.

Re: New Star GP's Retro Racing Speeds Onto Switch This March
That looks amazing, looks like it might ape VR's handling from the trailer. Day 1.
Re: Hamster Corporation Reveals Its First Arcade Archives Release Of 2024
@WadeMcG
I'm hoping original style. I've got Extra on my Egret Mjni and can't get into it at all. It doesn't just look wrong, the balance is ruined.
Re: Top Racer Collection Hits The Brakes On Switch, Delayed To March 2024
These games suck anyway, I'm just interested to see what form the Horizon title takes. New tracks in a SNES style? Old tracks with new visuals?
Re: Hamster Corporation Reveals Its First Arcade Archives Release Of 2024
@Captain_Toad
I believe it's public domain now, so quite possible.
Re: Hamster Corporation Reveals Its First Arcade Archives Release Of 2024
Rainbow Islands 25/01 for those that may not be aware. Finally.
Re: Review: Dodonpachi DaiOuJou Blissful Death Re:Incarnation (Switch) - Poetic Bullet-Hell Perfection
@riccyjay
I'd say the sequel is easier purely because it doesn't have a ridiculously long final stage.
Re: Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story Is The Next Entry In Digital Eclipse's Gold Master Series
Hmmm. I'm disappointed there's no IOS stuff on there. That version of Gridrunner, plus Llamatron and GoatUp are some of his absolute best.
Re: Sega Appears To Be Teasing A Game Awards Surprise
Who knows? Sega don't seem to like money.
I for one would LOVE an Atari 50 type package.
Re: 'Atari 50' Is Getting More Games Via Free Updates, 12 Dropping Next Week
Carry on like this Arari, and I might be in danger of starting to like you again!
Re: Review: Irem Collection Volume 1 (Switch) - Three Great Games, But One Slim Package
They're hardly priced extortionately. 20 quid would have been preferable, but they're still only slightly more than individual AA titles.
Re: Flashback 2 Is Out Now, But Switch Owners Will Need To Wait A Bit Longer
Waiting on reviews for this.
Re: SNES Racer Series Top Gear Is Being Revived As A Switch Collection In 2024
Thought the games were crsppy tbh, but interested in the Horizon Chase crossover.
Re: 'Hidden Gems: Volume One' Brings Four Classic Commodore 64 Games To Switch Tomorrow
@samuelvictor
That's messed up. I mean, I remember the whole 'Edge ' thing from years ago, bit I'm astonished to see how bad this has become now.
Re: 'Hidden Gems: Volume One' Brings Four Classic Commodore 64 Games To Switch Tomorrow
@samuelvictor
Definitely thanks. No buy now, unless it drops to a quid at some point.
Re: 'Hidden Gems: Volume One' Brings Four Classic Commodore 64 Games To Switch Tomorrow
It's 1,399 yen, so about 11 quid. Hahaha no.
Re: 'Hidden Gems: Volume One' Brings Four Classic Commodore 64 Games To Switch Tomorrow
@samuelvictor
Cheers for that, will have a read later.
Re: 'Hidden Gems: Volume One' Brings Four Classic Commodore 64 Games To Switch Tomorrow
@michaelf
I do actually quite like Mutant Monty, though as with Horace, more its Speccy incarnation.
Re: 'Hidden Gems: Volume One' Brings Four Classic Commodore 64 Games To Switch Tomorrow
How much, is the big question.
A fiver and I'll bite. Any more, no.
Re: F-Zero 99 Update Adding More Tracks, Datamine Uncovers New Modes
@JohnnyMind might actuallybbe my fave of the GBA games as well.

Three, you missed Climax.
Re: Takaya Imamura Expresses His Love For F-Zero 99, Awaits 'Revival Of The IP'
@LadyCharlie
Exactly this. Its brilliant fun, and hopefully a step toward at the very least a GX/AC remaster.
Re: Fasten Your Seatbelts, Horizon Chase 2 Is Out Now On The Switch eShop
Instant buy for me, as long as there's none of the weird stuttering the original had.
Re: F-ZERO 99 Turns The Classic Racer Into A 99-Player Battle Royale, On NSO Today
Must just be me that's made up for this - the original is still my favourite. Some single player content to purchase would be nice though, such as the BS cups that never made it out of Japan.

I'd love to see some proof of this. Hamster's emulation is usually top-tier, and none of the places I frequent have picked up on these issues.
Re: Taito Milestones 3 Revives More Retro Classics In 2024
Be nice if they included some stuff that Hamster haven't already released, but not holding my breath.
Re: Taito Milestones 3 Revives More Retro Classics In 2024
@Clyde_Radcliffe
Music issues. Ever my Egret Mini only has RA Extra, which just isn't the same.

Re: Double Dragon Advance, Super & Collection Announced For Switch

Advance is awesome, by far the best of the bunch.
Re: Taito's Animal-Saving Beat 'Em Up 'Growl' Is This Week's Arcade Archives Game
@Teksetter
Yeah, other than Elevator Action Returns and Bubble Symphony/Memories, I'm kind of regretting the purchase.
Re: New Star GP Brings Retro-Inspired Racing To Switch Later This Year

Re: Review: Batsugun Saturn Tribute Boosted - The Best Home Release Of Toaplan's Final Shmup
@DanijoEX
I think the M2 Shotriggers series has the licence to port the coin-op.
Re: Review: Batsugun Saturn Tribute Boosted - The Best Home Release Of Toaplan's Final Shmup
Also important to note, that unlike the Saturn, in non-rotated mode this does have an arcade screen mode - the Saturn was cropped at all times.
Re: Review: Puzzle Bobble Everybubble! - Bubbles Over With Charm (And Useless Bots)
I mean it looks OK, but I already have 2 and 2X, which are still by far the best of the series.

Re: Round Up: Everything Announced In Nintendo's April 2023 Indie World Showcase

It's quite slow paced, I actually find it quite a bit easier the Cave stuff and the like.
Re: Valis: The Fantasm Soldier Collection II Scores A Surprise eShop Release
I paid 20 quid for the Evercade cart with Valis games on, and they're not great at all.
