Analog stick on top? I guess some people are looking for that. For me, I like d-pad on top for these lower powered devices.

Thanks!

Eh, I often hear about the trademark renew but it means nothing. Skies of Arcadia is good but I don’t see a remake happening.

The price does sound high, but I know a lot of Japanese stuff was overpriced back in the day, their economy had some situation.

Was Go seen as like a luxury game? Or are Go players considered willing to spend extra for their hobby? Wild that Koei made their own console & everything for it. Chess game was out on the original Game Boy in 1991, but I know Go can demand more CPU than chess.

Never played it in Japanese. Hoping the final English build is good quality. Loving all the work that these translation teams put into these games!

I remember playing a lot of KoF when I got into Mame emulator, never had their cabinets at my arcade. KoF 2000 was a good one.

Glad to see these releases but the very limited amount is a bummer. It should not be such a lottery to own nice physical releases of our games!

This site is an incredible resource. I don’t know how he had been running it so far. The forums seem good, hope the community stays positive.

Is love to hear more about the negotiation process.

Glad to hear it, modern updates are always welcome. I played the first on dreamcast back in the day, I remember it having some good action.

The Android versions could only be obtained through the PuyoSega subscription service.

Oh so Sega ran an Android App Store? Japan is wild, so much went on over there that I never hear about!

Anyone played this? Fun game?

A remake of the 2010 PSP game? Yeah sounds great!

This is the situation that the video game history foundation made their famous study, to have as ammunition for their debate in favor for libraries and research and historians. What a sad ending, I hope they find another way in the future.

Never heard of it, but wild to hear about how much work must have gone into this to not be released 😱

RPGshrines is one I’ve used, I like this one for Aria of Sorrow here https://shrines.rpgclassics.com/gba/cvaos/walkthrough.shtml

I know wizzardy is a big foundational game from the beginning, but I’ve never played them and they sounded very grindy. I’m curious about a mobile game, but I will wait for reviews.

I’ve been meaning to play the original, I’m a big fan of disgaea.

Do emulators support fx-3?

Thanks, this is helpful. Got any links to the Japanese review you read? Sounds way more useful than retrododo.com article.

Does anyone know what the AI actually does?

I’m assuming it’s based on image recognition like the Shinden gun. It’s a branch of AI different from the LLM systems that power things like ChatGPT.

Honestly, the fact that the article writer is shilling an AI product without actually explaining what the AI does is kinda making me doubt their journalistic integrity.

Ha ha hell yes, retro dodo is garbage, they are a site that posts whatever silly thoughts they happen to have about old video games. This kind of announcement about upcoming release is about the best they are good for, and you still have to read through the filler to see that they don’t know anything more than the Japanese Twitter post that actually announces the thing.
