That first minute has scarred me for life. Wtf.

I was asleep at the wheel when this flew under my radar. Just played through twice and it was pretty darn alright. My fingers are all cramped up though now. Probably plays better el mouse o and keyboard o.

It looks like those of us that don’t desire a physical release have a date for Valentine’s Day…

You saw what I did there

@KITG_GROUP

Tom Kalinske didn't see the Saturn as Sega's future, either (nor their present at the time). I bought the Saturn day one...wait..pre-purchased the Saturn and got a Sub Pop records compilation (didn't the Brits get a Suburban Base compilation?). I loved it. It was awesome because of all of the 2D arcade ports. Mostly shmups that nobody was playing outside of Japan. That stuff was not coming over from Japan before Bernie Stolar. Saturn had zero mass appeal and was completely incapable of offering what the public, by and large, wanted. We still got the likes of Guardian Heroes and Legend of Oasis (which nobody bought). Not sure what titles Bernie naye-sayed by the time of his employement; other than later RAM cart games and all of them shmups...but that was third party stuff and....third parties didn't release Saturn titles outside of Japan. Customers wanted what the Playstation had to offer. Saturn was dead from the beginning. People have this weird mixed up fake nostalgia for the Dreamcast. It in no way shape or form had as many good titles as Saturn. It in no way shape or form was going to survive. Everyone wanted PS2.....and then they wanted XBOX. I'm impressed that Nintendo survived with handhelds to thank.

Need less DLC. Need more next project.

Nintendolife, you are the master of engagement.

Do y’all realize how well PC-Engine Castlevania and PS1 Castlevania would sell on the Switch?

I’m jealous of her fleaked out 💅 and fire lippy.

@BulkSlash

I have an unfounded conspiracy theory that Stolar had a “Single White Female” type obsession with Kalinske and that he fully intended on taking over Tom’s former jobs in reverse chronological order.

@GayusGayer

I believe we have a “define ‘communism’ “ scenario. Do they operate a fascist oligarchy where undesirables are ‘disappeared’, everyone is spying on each other, citizens are blasted with state run media propaganda, corruption runs wild and power makes you above the law just like the USSR and North Korea? Yes.

Imagine upgrading to the oled model when the entire library of games allowed in your country is limited to two titles.

I just learned the historic sales numbers of all of the metroid games. For every 40 copies of Mario Kart 8, 1 person bought Metroid Dread. WTF is wrong with people? 😳

Will we have to get a digital release via threats and gunpoint this time around?

So wait for M2 to release each Toaplan game at a snails pace for the sake of “gadgets” or get practically all of the Toaplan and Raizing games in a plastic box with an LCD on it?

@farrgazer And then after the Turbo Duo, there was the Arcade Card. If it makes anyone feel any better, I had one and passed on Sapphire countless times in favor of mediocre Fatal Fury ports.

All of the chips used to be made in my country. Now none of the chips are made in my country. Now my country whines about no chips. Well… 😂

Whenever I’m feeling down, I remind myself that at least I’m not the weirdo that stabbed someone over an Elmo doll.

Can they just port Rayforce and Metal Black to the Switch, instead? That’s what normal people want.

If I had to review a Valis collection and found out it was missing a game, I’d be thrilled about having one less Valis game to have to play. 😂

I see you’ve attracted the old people that will no doubt reminisce about making fansubs for people as long as they mailed in their own blank S-VHS cassette.

So is this why M2 hasn’t brought these to switch? So that I have to buy more collector junk?

@BloodNinja

Don’t get too excited. Diarrhea is infinitely better than constipation.

insert scott the woz references

@BloodNinja

Infinitely better than Atari. The soundchip was dope. In some ways better than the NES, in most ways lesser than.

We need more early Cave and less waifu-pillow.

There’s a ‘game awards’? Sounds exhausting.

@Spiders

Without any proof, I do wholeheartedly agree that your theory sounds pretty believable. Microsoft and Sony are basically relying on a shared chip of which the production entails only netting some up to spec. That’s pretty dicey. Also ran, they’re basically PC’s…so why not build a PC?

Just a heads up, since the past weekend, there’s no shortage of Switch OLED on store shelves in the US, just waiting to be purchased. I saw them online, forgot about it, and came back two days later and bought one. Turns out I could have picked one up locally in a bunch of locales, too.

@hogsy

They’re not running around with a crack experts actively updating their grand tally. You call them up, give them $$ and work with their marketing team to come up with some random world record to beat for exposure. Once the random world record is in there and you want to beat it, you reach out to them and they go, “sure, fine, whatever”. Or something like that.

@nhSnork

That ain’t how Guinness works.

I noped my way right past all of the early polygon games when they hit the market. Expansion pack is the first time I played the N64. Woof. It appears I’ve paid $50 for MUSHA. 😂

Hack into the mainframe and find out when Blazing Laserz is coming out on Hamster console Archives.

Instead of stupid graphics they should focus on fixing the poor build quality.

This is a better value than paying $50 a year for MUSHA.

@Sinton

M2? No chance in hell.

Where does one obtain a flip grip in 2021 anyway?

9 forgettable old arcade games? Taito? So it’s going to have four different versions, starting at $149 for the one that only has three of the nine.

I’m pretty sure I got this game for twenty five cents.

Personally, I rate the GTA III and beyond games lower than a .5
They play like crap.

So is this how I’m getting PC-Engine shmups on the switch? So be it. Make it so.

@BloodNinja and I are paying $50 to play MUSHA on Switch and we know it.

The peeps that made Dead Cells should do a Castlevania

Remember when Hamster announced Raiden and we waited….and waited…and waited….and waited….and waited….and waited…and

I’m excited about Gunnail and thunder dragon 2.

@BloodNinja

Smart move. Apparently the overhead sections have been greatly lengthened and they added a few hundred helpings of tower defence crap.

@BloodNinja

The Steam version runs as poorly as the Switch version.

@BloodNinja

You smoke what I smoke. But why limit it to Soldier Blade? We need Super Star Soldier and Final Soldier.

We're all like, "Who's gonna pay $7.99 for XEVIOUS?"

Japan is all like: Hamster Arcade Archives XEVIOUS becomes the top selling Switch title of all time.

@BloodNinja

There's a suspicious lack of PCE on Switch following an entire mini system and Konami putting out these collections...but no PCE titles....yet Mega Drive is coming to NSO. I'm not saying anything, but I am saying I hope we get Blazing Lasers on NSO.
