Anime Expo game demos - hands on and what was there

invalid@example.com (PixelButts) — Wed, 06 Jul 2016 03:43:42 +0000

So I went to Anime Expo this year. Cosplay, Anime, Games, Industry, Music, Merchandise, so much stuff.

Game wise there was a lot to cover, but I only covered what caught my attention most. Got to try a VR headset too. Asked some devs about PS4 NEO and got a little bit back for feedback (theres some debate about the 4k content).

Games I saw for playable demos:
Dragon Ball Z Xenoverse 2
Tekken 7
God Eater 2: Rage Burst
Tales of Berseria
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven
Sword Art...

invalid@example.com (Ashevent) — Tue, 05 Jul 2016 02:25:13 +0000

From EventHubs. I for one simply LOVE the original and have it on various systems. Wish I could afford the MVS version right now but..um yeah, no.

in a recent 4Gamer interview with the King of Fighters 14 development team, something very interesting was shared with readers. Sprites for the long since cancelled SNK fighter Garou Mark of the Wolves 2 were finally revealed.

A sequel to the beloved Fatal Fury...

Project Dream/Dreamcast 2 project cancelled

I know a lot of people were both sceptical and supportive of this whole Dreamcast 2 / Project Dream thing. Looks like it's shut down now: http://www.thedreamcastjunkyard.co.uk/2016/06/dreamcast-2-project-shuts-down.html

Battle of the Ports

invalid@example.com (Yakumo) — Sat, 02 Jul 2016 06:22:19 +0000

I've started a new show to fit in-between Retro Core shows. It's called Battle of the Ports and is basically a look of various ports of arcade classics. The show has no voice over, just game footage of many different ports. There has been quite a lot of people on YouTube asking for a voice over though so I may do one for the 2nd show.

Anyway, the first show features 12 different ports of Space Harrier plus the arcade original.

For those who like the high quality, I will be adding...

So I've gotten more involved with video editing and wahtnot, so I figure I'll post my gaming stuff here for everyone to check out! Of course I'll try and update things as best as I can, though there may be breaks in the action depending on how busy life gets.

In the past I've done gaming shows and recordings of live streams, and with my career moving towards more video editing and multimedia, I'll try to put together some...

Last Call Games Thread

invalid@example.com (sonicsean89) — Thu, 30 Jun 2016 22:43:36 +0000

So the old thread is a year and a half old, and it was limited to the Youtube channel (which is still a thing, don't get me wrong), but now I figure I should start a new one because I started my new Podcast/Let's Play series, creatively entitled Let's Cast.
Basically today I played through the first half or so of Alice's Mom's Rescue on the Dreamcast (because I've been uploading VGA videos of my CRT setup this week as well) and talk about various currentish gaming things.

Gamemaster14's Youtube Channel Games, Arcade and more

Noticed some people on this forum has made posts showing their youtube channels. I have been doing videos on mine for the past few years and figured it would hurt to promote it here.

I do videos on arcade games (actual hardware and some mame emulation), various video games ranging from the latest stuff to retro and obscure (thanks to this forum). I also do monthly new pickups videos and am always looking for ideas for new videos. If you have any suggestions for new videos or comments on my...

Lionhead Studios close

invalid@example.com (retro) — Mon, 27 Jun 2016 01:14:07 +0000

Since the announcement that Fable Legends was scrapped, the future of Lionhead Studios was debatable.

Today, the studio has officially closed.

RIP Lionhead. Amongst the controversies and some seriously buggy products released when they were known not to be ready, you served some gems.

invalid@example.com (ASSEMbler) — Fri, 24 Jun 2016 11:35:22 +0000

I have six tapes of 32X and N64 beta play testing from acclaim.
The titles read Mortal Kombat, Turok, a few others I am not sure
about. I would also like to convert the H-Ten bomberman footage to digital.

I don't have the equipment to do this, and there are far more affordable experts for this at
digitalfaq.com. TheI estimate costs to be $20 per tape,total of $120 to convert the six tapes to properly timed and converted digital video.

Tectoy may re-release the Master System or Mega Drive

invalid@example.com (Galdius) — Thu, 16 Jun 2016 14:49:02 +0000

There has been a few posts on Tectoy's facebook page asking what consumers prefer to have re-released: Master System or Mega Drive.

From what I read they are open to the idea of releasing one of those consoles with a cartridge slot.

I was surprised to read this news and I'm hoping they decide to release them with cartridge slot. The last consoles they made did not had the slots and the quality wasn't very good.

Mini fundraiser for May

invalid@example.com (ASSEMbler) — Wed, 15 Jun 2016 04:31:25 +0000

The one year support for the forum software runs out today. It's $55 for the year's access to
patches and downloads.

I've forgotten to pay for this out of the last fundraiser and pre-paid the site domains
and the server lease with all the donations.

Anything you can give is appreciated.

Looks promising. 40% smaller, integrated PSU that only uses a 2 prong standard plug, and a different controller style. Does NOT do 4K gaming, only HDR (think its just UHD) and 4K video/streaming. Wonder how its gonna be priced.
