@Shiryu somebody had the Amiga version!

Funny how Nintendo are super protective of their Mario IP.

Koji Kondo had no problems blatantly ripping off The Square's Work.

Where’s Bangai-O?

'As the Switch continues to receive ports of Wii U games, the number of true exclusives on Nintendo's previous console is starting to dwindle.'

The number of true exclusives on the Switch is probably the lower than what the Wii U received.

Like many of us, I’ve had dozens of wireless controllers but had never experienced drift before I bought my launch switch.

2 sets of joy cons with drift so bad they completely ruined your progress in games. Fortunately the 2 pro controllers don’t have an issue for me (or Nintendo’s coffers) or the hori split pad.

Can we get some shooters with a little more pedigree such as Picorinne Software's Infinos Gaiden.

@Axelay71 Any new shooter is welcome but incredible news would have been a Treasure G. Rev developed Gradius VI or Taito completing the sequel to Rayforce, R-Gear.

At least it isn’t another re-release for a change.

Why don’t you do a side by side comparison of the homebrew switch version alongside the official release?

>.............Legalities aside

@BillyB wow......after Mario 64 I’d say NiGHTS was the most innovative and enjoyable game from that generation. The gameplay had infinite possibilities to improve your score. It was far more nuanced than anything else I had ever played and was beautifully fluid when you were good at it.

Have you played it on a 60hz Saturn with the 3D pad?

@OorWullie you've just saved me making a spookily similar list!

What was so ‘naughty naughty’ nintendolife?

There is zero issue with modding your own hardware and your subheading just makes you sound thick or ignorant.

I was most concerned by whoever was playing the remastered levels........they were terrible!

probably a patch to force 10.2.0 update

At least Konami had the decency to only charge a nominal fee for their legacy release this year.

EA Sports are the ringpiece of the game publishing world.

Why didn’t Nintendo just use their PC port of 64?

I’ve tried the switch/PC version and it looks miles better than the one they are releasing.

@DoktorTotenKopf Thanks! Segata San was/is a legend.

There was one other version with the Bye Bye line for the 64DD. I’m sure it was only shown at the TGS and was never released but has cropped up for sale on eBay before.

My take is that Galaxy was already ported a couple of years back for the nvidia chipset so it was a quick and easy port over to switch.

Galaxy 2 would be far more work.

@Dubbicakes 27 year old

Does anybody know how the controls were implemented for Galaxy on the Shield TV?

Lovely vid from a lovely person

@Rayquaza2510 Import Duty, VAT and shipping

Shovelware

Rocky looked more authentic on the Master System

@Sabrewing Have you found the source code?

Absolute garbage presentation and content.

@ritouf I guarantee you won't be playing GTA VI next year.

GTA V Remaster Yes but nothing more.

My money is on Ball 2: More Balls

@doctorhino The 32X version played fantastically on a 60Hz system.....just wished that Sega handled the Saturn port in house rather than farming their IP out to second rate coding houses.

@doctorhino those were ports, this is pure arcade emulation with little else.

With digital controls its all or nothing and since these games were never made with digital controls in mind these arcade games play awfully using a stick or dpad.

On a side note, have you ever played the Tengen programmed Saturn Virtua Racing? It's the worst!

@doctorhino only problem with the games you mention is that they heavily rely on analogue controls and can't imagine Sega or M2 being willing to invest in digital workarounds. System 32 software is probably a good middle ground. I doubt the CPU could emulate Model 2 anyway.

@noswitchbutidc Firstly, it was based on the Shinobi game engine and had a completley different look and feel. Level design was heavily changed and soundtrack is different too.

The Megadrive game played far far better than the arcade release.

@noswitchbutidc The arcade ESWAT Is an entirely different game.

@doctorhino which other Model 1 games would work on this since it has a joystick configuration?

I really hope they're holding back some big hitters for the last batch of titles.

Arabian Fight and Segasonic the Hedgehog with joystick hack would be amazing.

@stevep that sounds very dubious......have you got a link to this?

@Averagewriter have you tried Story of Thor / Beyond Oasis?

@retro_player_77 Have you not read all the above?

Many many games on the Megadrive would never be possible on the stock SNES due to its CPU limitations and the narrower resolution.

These were the MD's strengths which the SNES could only partially overcome through the use of custom chips. The res issue couldn't be overcome, so SNES versions would usually appear zoomed in losing large areas of the playfield from view. Watch the DF video above and you'll see the difference.

A great example of the improvement in SNES system performance with the use of a custom chip can be seen in the recent SA-1 implementation of Gradius III. It turns the previous slideshow into a very very fluid performer.

Its a shame that Sega didn't use more custom chips in their cartridges. I'd have loved a super scaler chip for home ports of all those mid 80's to early 90's arcade classics

@Noid the Mega Drive had a superior resolution as well as it’s vastly superior clock speed.

Could we get some new, original games too please.

@NintendoPok I think you misinterpret what is meant by a 10 year lifespan. They may support it for 10 years, but you can be sure it will be replaced with it’s successor after 6 years thereabouts.

The updates will never be enough as it is fundamentally flawed. Controls, camera angle and locking on all feel wrong.

Played the Saturn version afterwards for the first time in years and it was a fantastic play through.

Here’s hoping they nail the play mechanic when they release Zwei, or better still hand over the reigns to M2.

I'd say 1990 as it was the year of the SFC and Mario World not 1991.

Since this is a UK site, surprised they didn't use 1992 as the SNES launch year.

KONAMI, please release ISS Deluxe with online this year to tide us over until we get a full fat PES experience next year...

That is all

@Roam85 Just the Wii version, which was only available when you purchased the Inferior Wii U game, which they didn't make.

@MajorasLapdog in fairness to Naka/Prope, Rodea was a good game on Wii but the Kadodawa Games Wii U version was a mess. Fortunately Naka was not involved with that or the 3DS one either. The Wii game was 5 years old by the time they released it.

I'm definitely get those Saturn/Dreamcast Sega feels watching that trailer........Cannot wait!

@Gerald it was never released on the Amiga as it was canned after development was completed.

No mention of McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure. A great platformer by Treasure.

@PikaPhantom I think a hand drawn style 2D Sonic would be awful.

I’m sure Christian Whitehead would have no intention of changing if he has the chance to do a sequel.

@SpaceboyScreams There's no bitching here, just another pointless post from a keyboard warrior.

To be honest, I'm surprised you have enough time between your extensive social life and your 700 hours playing AC to even make one.
