Apparently there’s 4 color variants and each one has 4 different games. https://twitter.com/wario64/status/1268036413699665920?s=21 I kinda want it but the Game Gear library definitely is not near the quality of the Game Boy. Are there any hidden gems?

That is super cute. If it turns out to be hackable, I'm interested.

what the hell... it would have made more sense to put out a full sized game gear with a poo poo load of battery life.

That looks smaller than the GBA micro, which I bought for like $35 on black Friday once and the novelty wore off quickly

I’d buy that only for like $20 as a novelty. I was a spoiled brat that had a Game Gear in addition to my Game Boy and even as a 7 year old I could clearly see that GB had much better games. Tails Adventure is probably the only exclusive I’d see myself ever playing again. 8 bit Sonic 1 is okay there’s no reason to play the GG version over the Master System one.

Most interested in the Shining Force games but they are trapped in a hideous yellow shell. I'll wait for the Analogue Pocket I guess.

Have we heard anything about the Pocket since announcement? I’m wondering what’s going on with it. I expect delays due to covid but I’m curious if there’s been updates.

The cynical part of me thinks that the sudden unexpected new production run on the Analogue NT made them adjust their timetable. I'm hoping there's news on it after those ship.

Same, though since English versions are doubtful the best option is likely the action games. Unless they’re hackable, in which case one could just upload the translations. And it also seems to be the case with these devices that the internal storage is higher than just the games included. So in buying one, you might be able to upload 20-30 games. So the biggest factor may end up being that tiny rear end screen.

I'm surprised by how much discussion I've seen around Game Gear Micro - first off, it's clearly just a collectible toy that happens to play games as opposed to a genuine successor to Genesis Mini, but either way, Game Gear sucked and even a human-sized version with 40 games or whatever wouldn't be that interesting.

Can someone even name some halfway decent Game Gear exclusives other than Tails Adventure? I’m curious if there’s really anything else there. The other Sonic games range from mediocre to dogshit.

All the RPGs on those Micros are comparable in quality to the best Game Boy RPGs of the day, but most of them never came out in English. The first and second Shining Force games were remade as Shining Force CD but the third one remains GG-exclusive. The two Aleste shmups are great - the second one came out in English as Power Strike 2. Sega did a bunch of Mickey/Donald games that are completely different to the Genesis games, even the 8-bit version of Castle of Illusion is basically a different game. They're not all exclusives but the later ones were definitely made for GG first so the SMS ports, if and where they exist, can be kinda janky. The two Shinobi games are pretty good, and the Batman Returns game that came out later is sort of based on those. (Batman's on both GG and SMS but it's not exactly the same game.) Ristar and Dynamite Headdy got surprisingly decent adaptations for Game Gear, moreso than Gunstar Heroes which is impressive but not really all that playable.

Japan didn't get Wonder Boy III for the Master System, because by that point they discontinued the console. They did, however, get Wonder Boy III on the Game Gear in 1992. I guess Europe got that port also? Mercury Crusader fucked around with this message at 14:03 on Jun 6, 2020 |

The VR Troopers Game Gear game used some unique routine sprite trickery to have some pretty detailed sprites without a lot of slowdown or flicker but I think it was the only game to do it and the game sucks rear end.

so i just bought an snes classic off of ebay and got the wireless controllers and am ready to roll. now deciding between the rpg: ff3, mario rpg, secret of mana, and earthbound. i have never completed any of them, but have played a few hours of each. where would you start? e: also, is there any way i can get chrono trigger on this thing? it's like the only game it's missing. and if it's not possible to get chrono trigger on here, what is the best way to play it nowadays? abelwingnut fucked around with this message at 07:09 on Jun 7, 2020 |

The SNES Classic is absurdly easy to hack and add games onto. Use Hakchi 2 CE. It'll give you step by step instructions on how to flash and load ROMs onto the system. Then play Chrono Trigger on it. https://github.com/TeamShinkansen/Hakchi2-CE/releases

Play Mario RPG first since it’s the easiest imo. It’s absurdly easy to hack.

I had to completely quit out of my vpn program to use Hakchi, so just a heads up if you are having issues with the snes not talking to your computer. Didn't matter if it was disconnected had to be quit completely. But yeah it's so easy to use. My kids love it and I've also loaded it up with nes, and sega games and they all work fantastic.

Don’t forget to add cool games that never officially came out in America with fan translations like Marvelous. Eiji Aonuma’s first game. It works fine with most games with hacks, patches, etc. applied so have fun.

Bart vs. the Space Mutants is the weirdest goddamn game regardless of platform, and a lot of that weirdness is that it came out on every-loving-thing and all of the versions are significantly different from each other. I can't actually tell which is the original, though I suspect it's either the NES or C64 versions.

This makes me want to try the other versions because I only played it on the NES as a kid and holy poo poo that game is loving weird.

I've played the NES and Genesis versions of BvsSM. I'm not sure I ever got past the first level on NES, but did get to the boss of the fourth level on Genesis. Why younger me rented an awful game on multiple platforms I'll never understand, but that version was more slightly more forgiving with its terribleness. Pretty sure the platforming hitboxes had slight variances according to gaming magazines way back when.

Anyone have a creative way of displaying their various mini consoles? Was thinking of buying a floating shelf to put them on since let's be honest, they're more for show than for play.
