Arcade Otaku - アーケード オタク

It's like using a keyboard, if you're doing you're own thing - fine whatever. Competition stakes and designer intent - then joystick is the way go. Historical/cultural context - it's pretty much a travesty. Do tournements need regulation - yep - it's the same contraversy as something like turbo fire...

It's a really interesting prospect - but zero enthusiasm for the original or this myself... But... If this is your bag I can certainly appreciate how this is appearing to tick the boxes, and show promising signs of curating a community and longevity... If nothing else if it's great to tangentially h...

...keep both. But in terms of customers, or only having room for one, you can't go wrong with original. Only really niche competitive types will prefer um imho. There's probably more general neo / original fans, than super keen 98um players. Plus mvs - if you've a multi slot and have some other neo ...

This is a pretty cool list - Mega Man®: The Wily Wars - who saw that happening?

Have to assume this is M2's doing? Either that or Sega's gotten some good people involved in that merchandising dept...

... Stay on target... Stay on target!

Nice that M2 are involved, but for the same money you can pick up an original console and a Mega Everdrive X3... :batlove: Only for dickheads like us with a scaler or a crt handy. Also you need to sort out your cables. And do the (admittedly little, but still some) leg work of sorting out roms. And...

It seems like Noise Factory has the rights, as they made the Taito Type X version, and the revision to it. Maybe Atlus owns home publishing rights and won’t allow them to port it to consoles? I think it's more messy than that. Particularly since noise factory and evoga are no more. I'd have *assume...

I think post matrimelee Atlus just wrote it off the series since never emerged as a arcade favourite, and everyone involved in it basically disappeared right after v. The ps2 versions clearly point to some kind of uncertain rights situation already developing. I suspect likelihood is there never was...

so capcom were trolling us and infact it must be an april fools ! :awe: Hahahaha! Except it's still real right? ... just maybe the whole thing is a board-room-joke-taken-too-far-but-it-is-ok-we-can-make-it-a-tax-write-off way to troll the emulation + bootlegger scene? Finally it all makes sense if ...

Want to like it more than I do, same with rotd. A very strange offering - like it was a passion project and only ever signed off on because atlus wanted a beat em 'up, dev team were enthusiastically on board, but no one really knew why they were doing it. Never really worked out what's going on with...

I am not pushing nor promoting as the intent.... Nps, didn't mean you personally - meant 'you' as in Bushnell/his company. Same with the license particulars etc. The intent is noble, the price I think could be more reasonable in commercial terms than it may appear to a home consumer (depending on l...

Afaik was just custom or one-off-dedicated cabs even in Japan for most of the PM brawlers, more in the woody/US style than candy. There are the halfway house of the sega 'versus city' cabs but most arcades would just chain together 2 candy cabs each with 1p panels for fighters ...so no reason you co...

eh ... you'd have to get into the nitty gritty of the licensing terms are and the spread of games, but this isn't necessarily a complete non starter conceptually; too many black market solutions out there for sure. It'd be interesting to see if you could make a legitimate go of things. BUT ... the p...

Consoles / pcs... It's literally getting to be much the same thing under the hood. You want a keyboard and mouse, and anything else the pc might do for you; cool go for it. Because it's there that there is value. And you've got to be totally comfortable with choosing at which point you'll buy in, an...

ketsui is close, but it's just not as quintessential imho

They've **** it, but at least someone with a clue has cut a decent tv ad... you just know they wanted wipeout in there though...

Nothing wrong with that, particularly if that was Dos Dedos Mis Amigos. loaded<->pwei<->designers republic<->wipeout == that's some key 90's cultural building blocks all interlinked right there... Those are the kind of connections that the ps1 just embodied, that's why its great. And I know it's cli...

... It's like finding a quantum universe, but I guess it explains some things. Edge/blade still better than tosh 1/2 imho, but hey ho... FIGHT :) For sure calibur was the sweet spot, but edge/blade was still a grand start imho. Tangentially connected my fond (but assumed unpopular) memory is of Load...

Apparently the European model will have European ROMs too... What were they thinking? Apparently not an in house emulator either. Mmm, PAL Tekken 3. God **** dammit - although still dumb, I presume that'll actually be because of EFIGS support. Is it right that I'm hearing the same roms might also b...

yeah investor beware I suppose... clearly did the streets of rage homage inbetween - probably had more interest :) ... seems a little shadey assets may get passed on/re-sold, but since they're all his to do with as he pleases I guess that's all fair play by the letter of the law. Assuming refunds ar...

just had a thought about this ... turns out kickstarter is kind of dead ... but it's resurfaced with a publisher under a new name? People saying they bought it off original developer - pelican or whoever? https://www.nicalis.com/games/90ssupergp#description guess I'd be best just dusting off a 360 f...
