The Analogue Super NT is cool, but I also have a Framemeister and use the RGB out from regular SNES, so no buy from me at this moment. I may change my mind if other cores are available for free like with the original NT Mini.

Nice. I avoided the digital release but it looks like the waiting has paid off. I'll snap it up when it's released physically on the Switch.

Google it.

I wasn't talking about ROM Club. I was talking about how to properly use the internet.

I've been playing the original Power Stone a lot recently and was wondering the same thing. Even if it's not "remastered", a modern port with online play could be awesome.

I can think of few digital pinball games that are better than Metroid Prime Pinball. The physics are nice, the flow is amazing, the visuals, sound and theme integration are incredible. Spend time to learn the game and you will really enjoy it.

It depends on what you are looking for. For me, my favorites are the ones that are in-line more with real-world table designs, physics and rules. Not to say I don't like the elements or toys that would be impossible to replicate in the real world, I just like my gameplay controllable and the rules logical like real-world games.

So, Metroid Prime Pinball is near the top for me (if not at it). Pinball Pulse: Ancients Beckon, another pinball game for the DSi (I believe is made by the same folks) is next and it's a really great table. Lots of familiar rules and shots clearly inspired from real-world games. You can download it via the 3DS e-shop.

Then stuff like the Pro Pinball games (Fantastic Journey, Big Race USA, TimeShock!, various platforms), Last Gladiators Pinball (Saturn), its import-only follow-up Necronomicon (Saturn), Pinball Dreams/Fantasies (various platforms), etc.

The more video-gamey stuff of old like Alien Crush, Devils Crush, Jacki Crush, Dragon's Revenge, etc., are fun in short bursts but the physics (or lack of physics, heh) kill it for me personally.

Pokemon Pinball on the GBC is actually pretty cool. Played that for the first time recently. Rollerball on the NES is another personal favorite of mine from the 8-bit era. Good looking and sounding game, plays well, lots going on with the table layout.

Eh? I've understood the Astrocade to be pretty sweet (if on the unreliable side) if you like that era of gaming.

Big box PC games are worth keeping and the collector market for them has been dry for a long time. Send them to people that want them if you don't want to go through the hassle of selling them.

Personally, the small box stuff isn't that desirable for me, but I'm always on the lookout for big box games from the late '90s (and a few from the early 2k's).

Agreed. I finally got around to watching Season 2 the other day and I was sad when it ended, it was so good. Here's to hoping they greenlight a third season.

While I would have liked to have heard more classic 'Vania tunes, I do enjoy the soundtrack, particularly for Season 2. That said, Bloody Tears is featured pretty heavily near the end of Season 2.

I'll one-up that with Nex Machina, also by the same company. Probably their best game by a long shot. https://housemarque.com/games/nexmachina

Done! I've bought several of my flash carts from your store. Keep up the great work!

Perhaps your memory isn't as good as you thought.

It's only 30, though I'm sure you would be able to go higher with something like a Game Genie.

Nice to see all the flash cart and FPGA aquisitions. I've been swearing by these things for years.

The biggest is the support of analog and digital. AVS is HDMI-only.

The other is being able to jailbreak the NT Mini and add other console cores to it. This turns it into a Sega Master System, Game Gear, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Colecovision, Atari 2600, Atari 7800, among others. You can also load ROMs from the SD card. The AVS has no SD card slot on it so it can't even be used as a basic flash cart (you need a separate flash cart like an Everdrive or Power Pak on top of it).

The NT Mini was significantly more expensive though, even more so now that it's no longer available from Analogue. I believe it was $500-ish when it was available previously. So, $300 more than the AVS. A re-run of these would be welcome however as second-hand units are selling (as in, actually sold) for anywhere from $1,500 to $2,500 depending on the condition (used versus new/sealed). Ridiculous.

For the price the AVS is a great console and it's actually available as of this writing. I highly recommend it to people that just want NES/Famicom compatibility. That said, if you want those extra cores the NT Mini might be worth the cost if they do another run.

Of course, if one really wants those cores, it's probably a better value to grab a MiSTer setup. A little over $300, it supports even more cores and also does analog/digital.

Trinitrons are excellent, especially the later ones with component. Amazing picture and even lower grade connections still look good on them.

Demon's Tilt is excellent.

Sell it, profit.

It's all about the Action Replay/SD Loader now and the Game Boy Interface software you can install on it. The original GB Player disc has been made obsolete and is solely a collector's item now. No real reason to use it when the GBI software exists. Far better picture quality there.

Sega CD spines make me weep...

Love that shit.

Yeah.. Robo Aleste and Silpheed = Great stuff, at least for the era. The stuff might at least make you appreciate "CD gaming" for the time. Especially if you have a disc-only Sewer Shark (easy to find). Great acting (at least, the actors looked like they loved what they are doing), somewhat action-oriented gameplay, and more. Sort of gives you an idea what the FMV thing was going for, originally.

Silpheed is great on its own. It's a straightforward shoot 'em up, but it does an amazing job of balancing the Genesis, Sega CD, and CD-internal hardware. It's got constantly-shifting backrounds, with actual polygons layered on top (your ship and enemies). Super cool stuff. You really don't see this anywhere else at the time.

Yeah, I got my system in early '96 or so when it was on its way out. You could still buy the games NIB at Best Buy, Toys 'R Us, Electronics Boutique, etc, for a year or two after that and I built up a pretty big library over time.

I miss games getting crazy discounts like with what we saw on systems from back then. Doesn't seem to happen nearly as often these days.

"I love the smell of the sewers in the morning... It smells like VICTORY!!!"

hahahahaha...

Balloon Fight is great. Takes the Joust formula but makes it more approachable (and more fun, IMO). That was a game I totally passed on back in the day, but decided to give it a go about a decade ago and now it’s one of my favorite “pick up and play” kinds of games on the NES.

For the 2600+, it's already been confirmed that they are using Stella. That's *the* premiere 2600 emulator that's been in constant development for ages. It's good stuff.
