huh, so they ARE adding combat?

How cynical of you.

ROMs are just ROMs, it’s the emulator that matters. It’s actually better than the Genesis Mini’s emulation, because that had crazy amounts of audio lag that doesn’t exist in the NSO app.

It’s honestly not that great. It’s a quirky title that acted as more of a tech demo for the system (namely lighting and particle effects).

Mental health is a much more complex issue then just telling people to seek help. If only it were so simple. 

Yep. We put our deposits down, and moved on. It’s a handheld console; there’s not exactly a ton to keep discussing.

Seriously, how can they rerelease first departure R and not Second Evolution? It would easily sell better given the original SO2’s clout among JRPG fans. I was waiting for it for the past few years, but eventually caved and played it on emulator. Would love to have it on Switch.

So can we get a port of the ‘currently PSP-exclusive’ remake of Star Ocean 2 for PC/Switch/PS now? I don’t think it was even sold digitally on Sony’s PSP shop.

I’m playing the game on XBox (XSX specifically) and it hasn’t crashed a single time. Smooth sailing so far. Are you playing on a different XBox?

What is it with you people. You just think games media should pretend that emulation doesn’t exist?

Retropie is *perfectly* legal, per existing US Supreme Court precedent.  As is legally backing up games you own.  And getting (m0st) games legally isn’t that hard, given the internet is a thing.

Yeah, I’m not going to go crying “censorship” over this or anything, but IMO wearing the Confederate flag was a good, quick intro to Phil Cassidy and the kind of (terrible) person he is.

I’m torn on this. As said, he clearly wasn’t an endorsement for the symbol, he was an idiot and a fuckup. So it seems unnecessary to remove it. I find it different compared to like Dukes of Hazzard, where the main characters are supposed to be likeable heroes but their car has a half dozen pro-confederacy aspects to…

I think the point is that the games, while aiming for different canons separate from the MCU, adhere too closely to the MCU designs of the characters without fully committing to actual likeness, and that can make them look jarring, in a “close but not really”, “Walmart Avengers” kind of way.

Good, Denuvo didn’t do anything but hurt paying customers. Games were pirated just fine as far as I could tell 

My dad brought home pirated tapes for the Atari after reading about it on Kotaku. Now he’s in prison.

Hey, here’s a fun fact: Metroid Dread has been out for less than two weeks and it’s already become by far the best selling game in the franchise. Which is strange, because a bunch of weird nerds on here kept assuring me that its sales had been fatally crippled thanks to one Kotaku article.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they have their own sets cooking. Based on these pics on the post, they’re certainly better than anything I could ever create, but compared to the crazy detail a lot of LEGO sets have? These don’t seem that great.

There are significantly better medieval castles and buildings in the options…

I’m in awe of the effort, but am I the only one that looks at these sets and thinks it doesn’t look really LoZ-themed? Take away the Hyrule insignia and LoZ characters and it just looks like a generic medieval set. I would’ve gone for some more iconic looking locations from the games.
