The-Nate

@RupeeClock Which is sadly likely considering that Strictly Limited split the Turrican compilation in half for no valid reason other than money. They claim that they'll be bloating it with bonus features, but that's barely an excuse.

Why the heck would you even pay for this? The ROM is exactly the same as the US retail release at launch. It doesn't even look cool.

I honestly hope it's not like the English version of the Mario one

The actual website itself uses mismatched sprite palettes (as in Luigi's skin not being the same shade of orangeish tan the mushroom platform he's standing on has) and it really hurts me on the inside

64 seems to be based on the Japanese Shindou release, which added Rumble Pak support, changed some audio, and, most importantly, removed the backwards long jump glitch.

All in all, I somehow thought Turrican's mostly abysmal celebration announcement was actually better than this, mostly due to the fact that it won't be entirely a limited time thing and that Julian Eggebrecht said he would consider a real Turrican 4 if it sells, according to an interview on the 28th or so.

To be honest, um, the arcade version of Contra 1 wasn't actually that good...

Oh yeah, and on the 28th or so they had this interview stream with Factor 5. Someone posted a recap on a French forum site, and I ran it through Google translate. There's quite a few good details in there:

@robr It's Sony policy that a physical release must have an accompanying digital release, and it would be common sense to put them on eShop too.

@Gerald When King Features Syndicate says so

@nmanifold I don't want garbage imitations. I want the real deal with Manfred Trenz at the helm LIKE IT SHOULD BE.

Turrican, dangit!

I'm pretty sure the reason why they're doing it in the first place for quality is to ensure it complies with US toy safety standards

Recall seeing this on Lost Media Wiki

Wow, they're still trying to convince us it's an actual thing in development?

@echoplex That's not the real thing, just a really good edit

Heard there's a SGI Indy proto for MK64 too

@Shiryu Just wait 'til Gamescom, I heard Factor 5 may have something big and Turrican-related...

It's like Night Trap, except actual garbage

I hear Factor 5 has something big for this year...

I'd be more interested if it weren't based on the godawful reboot

I heard Factor 5 may have something Turrican-related to show off at Gamescom, and you know very well I'm hyped for it

@TG16_IS_BAE Good luck finding it, since it got delisted from Steam years ago.

@TG16_IS_BAE It controls like garbage (especially on PC), the sound is a bit off, and the abysmal new content is no replacement for how Megaton edition had the old expansions (especially Life's a Beach)

Note: This version is vastly inferior to the one from 2012

@Sean161 Because they're not on-topic?

7. When's the next Turrican?

Meanwhile, I'm too lazy to get out my Switch to play SMO again

@mr_benn The only way they'd be able to do that is if they manage to wrestle the rights for the royalties out of AtGames' dirty palms, and that's a very big "if"

For a generally Nintendo theme park, it's very Mario...

The series wasn't that good without Manfred Trenz developing the games anyways

@StarFoxRunner Unfortunately, that one uses DeHackEd for custom monsters, which the new ports don't support.

I'm pretty sure the name "Jumpman" was never officially used outside of an instruction card that wasn't on most DK cabinets anyways

I bet they'll serve tacos there...

I'm fine with it, I just want to play as Galeem

I really hope one of the next fighters is my husbando Galeem

That'd be cool, but I don't think they'd have the same flair the AlphaDream ones had

...I see no difference between Calyrex and this thing:

Give me Inteleon and I'll be happy

I thought we all knew about this.

It's very hard to believe these are both from the same movie. Good job, Paramount!

Why does it not look like Giovanni?

Honestly, if I were in charge and I had to do a song celebrating, I would make a cover of the theme to the Hanna-Barbera cartoon.

Uh, where's Jimmy? Y'know, from Double Dragon?

Fun fact: This is being developed by Nightdive, who previously did the Turok 1 and 2 remasters.

What unreleased/unfinished game is it gonna have this time?

Uh, did y'all forget the Chapter 2 leak?

For those of you saying it'll get shot by Nintendo, fat chance. Nintendo only heads for remakes like SMB1 C64 and AM2R. This, along with Super Mario Flashback and Super Smash Flash 2, are not remakes of pre-existing Nintendo titles, just fangames based on them.

Now that's a reference I can get behind.

I was expecting it to have some wicked sunglasses based on the pixelated image
