S.C.G

I was going to buy Wild Guns Reloaded (again) but I'm holding out for a UK physical release... that's got to happen, right? The US has got one so... If not then Natsume are just leaving money on the table...

If you really want to see just how long it takes to make the Piano and what it can do then check out this video. Fascinating stuff, I'm not getting one but... part of me now kind of wishes that I was even though I can't justify it at the moment. But I do look forward to seeing how everyone else - who is buying Labo - gets on with it.

Possibly not but I'm taking a gamble and I might go for one of those new SNES consoles at some point - not for a while - which do support it.

Well, bearing in mind that I've also added to my Neo Geo Pocket Color collection recently, it's not going to be my turn again for quite a while now I reckon. Mind you, if this Super GameBoy 2 doesn't work on my Pal SNES then I will be considering one that does later on down the line, not immediately though, that's for sure. I reckon @Hero-of-Time will be next with a load of Dreamcast stuff or maybe some original Xbox games... ...complete with an Xbox One purchase of course. Although @Happenstance I think you might end up adding some more titles to your Saturn collection sooner than expected, it's a really tempting system to collect for. Place your bets now!

It's weird though, perhaps I'm the exception but I tend to buy COD and just play the story mode, often without bothering with the multiplayer. Having said that, the last campaign I played was part of Advanced Warfare, so I don't think I'll even bother picking up COD now at all, unless the campaign gets added in... ...and when it's cheap, £10 or less.

Yep, I bought one as well... and the Hori SGB Commander controller to go with it. It's my own fault, I shouldn't have checked this thread... but I can't not check it. That's it now, no more Retro purchases or large amount of new game purchases for a while... ...probably.

I picked up the original Splinter Cell trilogy of games for the original Xbox in a lot of games, I'll be very happy if I can play these on my Xbox One.

I'm sure there's a reason I don't own one yet though... you're using it on a Super Famicom right? It won't just work on a PAL Super Nintendo I'm guessing? It's a really odd one because it's a peripheral, so there shouldn't be a problem but I heard that they have a lockout chip. I know it fits in the cart slot of a UK console and JP but not US without modification.

That's pretty nice condition @Ike did you get it from the seller from Japan who has two left at £48.23 by any chance? I'm tempted myself...

Wait... this is a "Konami - What the hell are they doing?" thread and there's nothing on the brand new 2D Castlevania game being made... only for iOS? Come on, keep up.

Definitely pick up a copy of Panzer Dragoon Orta before it rockets in value... *searches on eBay* ... £30+? Less than 10 copies for sale? Nevermind, that digital price doesn't seem too bad afterall.

Just in case anyone is wondering, Panzer Dragoon Orta already looks almost as good as that on an original Xbox One, sure I can pick out some slight finer detail but after playing it last night for a good three hours I was just amazed to see the game running again, at all, let alone at the amazingly stable framerate and with a lot more detail than before.

Another amazing video from My Life in Gaming. If I ever buy a PC Engine... which isn't likely as I have most of the games I'll probably ever want for it on the Wii and Wii U Virtual Console services... but if I did, I'd get one of these.

Again?!? I've lost track of how many times you've owned one and gotten rid of it. I bet you pick one up again after E3.

It's April 17th so... Blinx: The Time Sweeper Breakdown Conker: Live & Reloaded The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Hunter: The Reckoning Jade Empire Panzer Dragoon Orta SSX 3 All of these games should now be fully playable on your Xbox One. @Hero-of-Time what will you be playing?

I don't think you're being weird about it, I completely understand what you're saying. Though I can see it from the perspective that you've clearly both been through a lot, I can't even begin to understand just how much either but at least your son is OK now thankfully and that's something I feel you should both never lose sight of and I don't think you would either; I'm glad to here that everything worked out fine, so I'm sure it's soemthing you're both grateful for every day, it's important not to lose sight of that. Neither of you could have predicted what would happen, you can't help what genes you have as you're born with them, obviously I can understand that it's not something either of you would want to go through again, hence going for the trials but if it comes down to three failed trials and you still want to have another child then... I think it's something you'd both have to agree on and I really don't think seeing a therapist is going to help either way, neither is it an option... in my opinion, your mind seems very much made up... but then so does hers... it's tricky that's for sure. But ultimately, what's the point in bringing another child into your lives if only one of you - or possibly either of you - is going to end up loving it? I mean it might end up being fine, but it also might not be... I just hope that both of you don't end up worse off further down the road because one of you compromised but didn't want to really. What I've just written might come across as harsh, I don't know and for what it's worth I don't have kids myself, but I just thought I'd try to add some perspective and ultimately I wish you both the very best in the future, whatever happens.

If they do, it should be given away for Free with the purchase of other Sega Ages titles, just like they did when you bought a Dreamcast back in the day. Or do a "collection" featuring the Dreamcast and GBA versions.

I'm pretty sure I've never even heard of this game, amazing stuff in this video. If you're going to watch it - there is a warning in the video - skip from 07:45 - 10:35 to avoid spoiling the ending the rest of the video is fascinating.

So there are still more details to come, I wonder if the save function which carries data between the first and second games will be present? This feature was present on the Dreamcast originals but obviously not on the Xbox origginal re-release, so it would be nice to see it reinstated. What would be even nicer is if there is some kind of data carried over between these remasters and Shenmue III as well, now that really would be something.

Personally I found this video fascinating, probably because I've never played a Spyro game, it really makes you appreciate what went into 3D platformers, especially back then in the Nineties. So this makes me even more enthused for the Spyro Trilogy remaster coming out later this year. Oh and if you haven't checked out the Boundry Break series of videos yet then you really should... it's an ongoing series where we, basically take the camera, anywhere we want, and try to find secrets and discoveries to some of our favourite games. Edit - Also, I finally got around to watching that Did You Know Gaming? on the Dreamcast video, some really interesting stuff there, a lot that I wasn't aware of, also props to them for using lots of Phantasy Star Online music in the background... it really takes me back literally half a life-time ago to when I first started playing PSO... the urge to play it again is growing stronger and I think I'll be playing the GameCube version once I get that HDMI adapter. It'd be nice to maybe capture some footage of my original PSO characters while the data still exists on the memory cards.

I have fond memories of picking up my original Dreamcast copies of both games, in second-hand shop, £5 a piece and I think I even haggled down to £8 for the two. So when the Dreamcast was on its way out in 2003 I guess, I got both Shenmue 1&2 for £4... ...fast-forward fifteen years to 2018 and I'm fully prepared to pay £40 for the two on the PS4, so I guess it evens out.

What.. but? You mean... they finally announced it! Hell yes!

Super Monkey Ball 1, 2 & DX forever!
