ZPF Megadrive

Post by Marcelliott »

Hi there.

Did any of you guys pre-order this?

Looks and sounds amazing, just hoping that there will be harder modes with more bullets, as from the videos I've seen it looks way to easy.

I've bought a megadrive 2 for £30 a cheap scaler and a rgbs cable from retrobgaming cables in anticipation of this and earthion, the cable cost more than the console......
Oh forgot, bought a loose thunderforce 4 aswell.

I'm fully in game mode after 13 years out.

A cheap scaler usually means it looks ****.
ZPF will begin shipping this month, i didn't preorder but will buy it later on if the reviews are positive.

That's OK, it's only for the time being, I have a bang and olufsen av9000 crt in storage, I'm sure it will look good on that.

In mid renovation at home, literally no carpets at the moment. When everything is fixed up I'll set myself a little game corner for my goodies, that crt has its own av unit, it's like sculpture, but takes up so much space. I got a retroscaler 2x for £16, it will be fine for the time being.

Oh bloody hell I'm in. The trailer comedy almost steered me away but then the tits pulled me back.

Reasonable price too.

I might get this, but Earthion is an absolute day one preorder… because I’m a shill and I want to believe that anything Koshiro touches is immaculate.

There's a guy waging war in him right now on reddit and x, talks of a boycott due to the exa label release 🙄 wtf

I don't care if there's more content on the exa version, just give me the megadrive version ASAP.

lol, why a boycott?!

eXa is a modern and significantly more powerful platform?!
It will obviously have a lot of content impossible for the mighty Mega Drive.

As long as it was designed with the Mega Drive in mind, then all good with me…

Earthion looks fabulous. It’s coming to the major platforms so I’ve no idea how anyone can have cause for complaint.

Obviously I’m buying the Exa version.

If an exclusive extra is over your limit of evil then I don't know what you'd have left unboycotted.

I’ve never been as Stoked for a new release of any game in my life as Earthion, I mean is there a possibility that (dare I say it) thunder force 4 loses its top spot.

Mega Cat Studios took payment on Wednesday. My bank really doesn't trust them. Even after the identity checks my credit card was declined. Ended up paying with my PayPal balance which cost a few quid extra due to their crappy conversion rate.

Anyway I assume this means it's being sent out soon.

I preordered this as well. I wanted to do that for Earthion but haven't seen any updates on when the mega drive version will be available to preorder
-- is there any sort of mailing list to be notified about this?

Semi cryptic tweet by Koshiro yesterday that ‘an announcement’ is forthcoming…
