S.C.G

I will buy anything that Shin'en try their hand at... ...except for if it turns out to be a Battle Royale game. (but even then I'd be tempted) All jokes aside, I love their games, especially since releasing the original F.A.S.T on the Wii and I also have their soundtracks which are fantastic on their own. My money would have been on ports of the Nanostray or Iridion titles but if they stated that it would be something different to what they usually do then... ...I guess that rules out Anti-Gravity Racing, Shmups, Licensed 2D Platformers, Third-Person Action Platformers, Arcade Sports Simulation and Puzzle games. So, whatever it is should to prove to be interesting at the very least.

If you don't already have an Xbox One then I would say to go for the X but then again, if you still have a good old 1080P HDTV like me, then the S is still a very viable option. Even though I prefer the OG model... but I guess they don't make it any more. Do you own or are you intending to get a 4K TV within the next two years or so? If this is the case then I'd go for the X but if not then I'd try and get a good deal on an S.

Anyone else a fan of the Forza Horizon series? I'll be picking up Forza Horizon 4 when it comes out, I just thought this video was interesting, showing the differences between Xbox One and Xbox One X. I'm intending to keep my Xbox One original for as long as possible but it's nice to see the various improvements on both machines. Time to dig out that Xbox racing wheel soon I reckon.

You're most welcome as always @Mokong it was a pleasure to hunt alongside you and @RedShell plus I had a blast anyway. I'd almost forgotten how much fun it is to be launched into the air mid-combo. It made for some funny screenshots and video captures.

*raises Dual Blades* I shall heed the call of the N-E Brotherhood hunting horn! (Be on in a couple of minutes)

Hmm interesting... Well, if all this turns out to be true then I can imagine them doing the following... Carry on the Switch Online Service NES and SNES games to play online, possibly add N64, probably add in GB, GBC, GBA. Release all of the above as an option to purchase seperately on their Virtual Console Switch label. Have the likes of GameCube and DS titles added as Virtual Console titles or full on remakes and/or physical collections, especially for GC games. Anything seems possible at this point.

Retro Gaming Cables are having a sale because they are changing the Scart ends of their cables to include their logo. (presumably injected into the plastic, like with the other end) Anyway, up to 50% their current cables, the only difference being, that they have standard Scart connectors which are still of excellent quality. https://www.retrogamingcables.co.uk/index.php?route=product/special&page=1 These are all high quality RGB cables, well worth getting. If you're at all unsure and just want to make some snap purchases before they sell out... Go for C-Sync cables for best compatiblity Consoles which are RGB capable as standard include SNES, MegaDrive, Saturn, Playstation Consoles which are NOT RGB capable without modification include N64, PC Engine Duo Though they do seem to be selling out fast already... Out of Stock - PS1(Luma), PS2(Luma), SNES(CSYNC), XBOX(CSYNC), Neo Geo AES(CSYNC) In Stock - Wii(CSYNC), PS1(CSYNC), PS2(CSYNC), GC(CSYNC), PC Engine(CSYNC) These are NOT the PACKAPUNCH cables (those are double the price) but they are still going to be decent quality cables for the price. Anyway, I've done most of the legwork there, maybe this will help someone, maybe it won't... as it stands, I might get a few bits for my Framemeister as I already have my cables.

Timespinner looks nice... ...I'll wait for the Switch port and then add it to the backlog. Looks good though.

Available for pre-order now on the Nintendo Store. Is anyone buying this? The starter set is one per customer, which seems to be the only way to get the Arwing and Fox. I like the inclusion of StarFox but... I'm just not sold on the game personally. Plus... space issues, I really don't want to buy a special edition of any kind unless it feels worth it to me.

I loved watching that Goemon video, Id heard of Jimmy Happa thanks to Slopes Game Room but I hadn't checked out any of his content yet, good stuff though. That reminds me, since I last pictured my N64 collection... it has grown significantly with two of the major additions to it being both Goemon titles. I must show the updated collection at some point and of course get around to playing all these games. - - - - - - - - - - Now that the Arcade room has been completed over on Last Gamer (see that phenomenal video a few posts up) it seems that a certain show has returned... The Last Gamer Show has officially relaunched and it's fantastic. There's a review of Spider-Man, some footage of Forza Horizon 4 running on a simulator, a few news bits and some great editing. It's an easy watch for me as I've been following the channel for a little bit but, it's well worth a watch I reckon and check out some earlier videos if you're interested. I have no incentive to promote this channel, it just happens to be one of the ones that I really like, there's some great import stuff on there too.

So, it looks like Devil May Cry 5 is going to have the option to pay for red orbs. Similar to the way that you were able to purchase them in the re-releases, except here apparently, the game is being built with this in mind. Now, I don't think that Capcom is going to just make the higher skills stupidly unobtainable by putting a stupidly high amount of red orbs as an in-game price for them... ...but it does make you wonder. I'm still intending to buy the game and play it without buying any orbs and I don't think it will be a big deal if you just want to play the game "normally" I hope. I still dislike this kind of thing though, apparently if you bought some of the DMC games digitally on PS4, then they would throw in some red orbs whether you wanted them or not. This was another reason why I tracked down an import copy of Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition from Japan in addition to wanting all the games boxed. Anyway, I'm still very much looking forward to the game and hopefully grinding for red orbs as well as I feel that's half of the fun in the earlier games, to an extent.

Yep, I can confirm that the above video is indeed fantastic. I was going to post it in here the other night but it was late, so I just had enough time to watch it and post a congratulatory comment on the video. (It's still there, at the top) I haven't been following Last Gamer for that long in real terms, maybe coming on for a year now but it was one of his earlier game house tours which got me to subscribe. It's amazing to see just how far he's progressed over the years, the arcade had been on the cards for a long time, so it's fantastic to finally see it. I'll probably never go to Australia or anywhere that's around that distance away but if I did, that would be one of the first places I would want to go to, if invited. The largest videogame collection in the world and probably, one of the best arcades ever created in modern times which really represents what they are/were all about. I think he's earned the title in that video of "Worlds Greatest Game Room" as it really is something very special indeed. Yep, just watched it again as there's so much to appreciate in just one 20 minute video, amazing stuff.

@Glen-i this isn't the first time I've played Super Mario Bros. 3 I swear. Though I definitely haven't played as Luigi for a good while. Still... it makes for an entertaining online session at least. And it's fun to watch someone who really knows what they're doing playing the game.

*sharpens dual-blades* I can hunt after MK League if you need another player.

That was one hell of a trailer. Another title from Capcom I'll be counting down the days on.

Wow, what a trailer! I can't wait for this.

Well, it wouldn't go through after all that anyway, so nevermind. I don't need the NES controllers that badly.

Ah OK, I'll leave them sealed then... for now. You're right, this address finder for the ordering system truly is horrible. I can manage to get all of my address by working backwards, except for the house name.

Is there a limit to how many discount vouchers you can redeem against the controllers? If there isn't... I'm temtped to go on a mass unsealing of my current... fifty retail Switch titles to claim all of my gold coins. I'd probably have enough to pay for them outright, surely?

Either way, more ways to play Retro games of all types, from all over is a good thing for everyone. Just as long as the emulation holds up, then all is well.

Where do you even have to go to order them? Do you need to be signed into your Nintendo Network ID to do so as well? The trouble you've described in ordering makes it sound similar to the setup the original club Nintendo website had when sending physical goods, if that's the case then I sympathise. They never did send me that Kirby GBA game...

Ah ShopTo have it? Well... go on then! *pre-orders*

So... is anyone buying this? Or waiting for the full list and then possibly buying it? It's really odd, NES/SNES classic mini... day one purchase for me, despite owning the games many times over. But when it comes to the Playstation Classic... nice enough but what other games will there be, will the emulation hold up... maybe I'll pre-order. If the rest of the games aren't that compelling though, then I could just buy the one game on that initial list for the original PlayStation that I do want and call it a day. That game of course, is Jumping Jack Flash and I really love that they've included it but I'm still on the fence about it all.
