Arcade Otaku - アーケード オタク

I'm curious as to the actual individuals involved too, just out of nerdy interest in the design pedigree. Harder to track personnel shifts in Japanese companies than western ones though. I expect members of the ShotTriggers team were involved - there's a Q&A with some of them from June last year but...

AtB is on Unity, right? I have never personally used it, but I heard it's not much better for lag unless you put some serious work into it. 2 frames from the hardware + something like 3/4 internally, maybe?

Cheers. Yeah i was bidding on a Saturn pad which had a similar colour way (OG) But lots it. I have a few pennies in amazon vouchers burning a hole in my pocket so will likely pick one up there. How much and where is the USB to SS converter ? There's no converter. There are two separate pad SKUs. On...

Yeah, I got a Saturn-plug and a USB one. They seem very close to the originals AFAICT. The shoulder buttons may be slightly less clicky? Part of the problem is that it's hard to compare a brand-new pad to one that's seen 25 years of use, unless someone can find a NOS Saturn pad to do a more direct c...

I'm impressed if it plays in proper 3:4 like that. Very, very interested to see side-by-side comparison videos. Wouldn't have been easy to do.

I was particularly upset to hear about Konbo closing because months before its announcement, my partner and I semi-joked about the idea of me quitting my job and opening a coffee shop with candy cabs. My other big hobby aside from games is coffee and I've often said that if I was going to work in an...

That's such a shame, I never got the chance to go up there in the end. Did everything right by my estimation as well.

That looks great. I think you're supposed to use the bomb more to get through some of the harder patterns, as it's a constantly recharging thing. It hits "Max power" pretty quickly in that video once used. Really appreciate the English subtitles for the story VOs at the top of the screen too (althou...

They came back on my 7th email last night after I mentioned getting debt recovery involved. Basically said my account has been inactive for a year, and the money is now theirs. Said it’s in the terms. I’ve checked the terms and I can’t see anything that says that. I’ve asked for the location of tho...

I saw this about 20 minutes after you posted it and did briefly consider throwing caution to the wind and sending a PM, but probably a good thing I didn't as I joked about it with my partner last night, and got a stern "I would've been quite angry" response at the idea Oh well...

Nothing being scrapped then? As long as they're safe from the bin, that's the most important thing.

Here's the original post on Reddit, someone get in touch with him!

I don't think a port of Maximum would do well and it'd be a mistake to attempt it. It's visually very unappealing compared to other DDPs, there'd be a fair amount of work required to make it a viable stick-and-buttons game off of its touchscreen origins, and it's got baggage attached to it. I reckon...

Huh, there's a name I haven't heard for a long time. JAPJAC (Leading pioneer and expert in the field of Japanese videogame playing, studying & collecting in the U.K. since day one' © 2001. Japan resident & TFP founder.) invaded a forum set up by some friends over 15 years ago, out of the blue. It wa...

That's pretty special, as I said on A-P :awe: If you end up sending a bunch to the UK with those monitors, I might be interested in jumping in on that depending on exact price and my own financial situation after Christmas... I'd be more than happy with a brand-new reproduction as close as this, ins...

Ok, will have to pick up Puzzle Bobble.

First one seem to both look and sound nicer than PB2.

It is but PB2 has better 1p modes.

Puzzle games work well. Puzzle Bobble, Puzzle Fighter, etc. But there's loads more on MAME.

Ah, mostly disappointing because I don't care for DS, but the promise of more ports in the future is good. Hopefully Cave will have some input and authority over these ports and be able to assert some degree of accuracy as a minimum. I suppose I've never played DS2 and I might enjoy it, so if they'r...

I would've thought arcade announcements would come at JAEPO but you never know.

Fair point. More likely something else then. Another PC port would be nice, but could be something mobile related. I'll keep expectations low.

It’s a bit annoying that the version of DFK I bought has been ignored and I need to pay £7 for the hd version :( Yeah, I've got the same problem, can't bring myself to rebuy it right away, but I think I'll break eventually. Turns out I bought DeathSmiles and completely forgot. Blissful Death/DOJ di...
