Nintendo have announced the SNES classic edition.
Who doesn't love a good challenge? If everything was easy, there would be no joy in getting it done. In the realm of video games, the late 1980s and 1990s were the perfect era of "get good" gaming with multiple big-named titles that put a player's skills to the test. The Super Nintendo, one of
In a major crackdown, Italy's financial police have dismantled a ring trafficking counterfeit vintage video game consoles, highlighting a severe issue within the gaming industry. The operation underscores the industry's failure to preserve classic games, driving gamers toward illegal alternatives as legitimate options remain scarce and prohibitively expensive.
Even if they do crack down all a person needs is an Everdrive and a regular old school machine. Or modify a disc based console that has a dead laser to boot off an SD card. Some of those illegal devices look neat and some of them are just plain crap.
What a stupid thing to be wasting time, money and effort. Aren't these guys literally drowning right now? Maybe y'all should focus more on that instead trying to stop people from playing old games no longer being sold.
It's been three decades since 'Need for Speed' dropped. Here's why the 1994 version of the game is still awesome and why it changed everything.
"nobody ever really learned how to drive from a racing game."
Jann Mardenborough exists, my guy.
If I remember right I started with NFS: Pink Slip, but my favorite was NFS: Hot Pursuit2 on PS2. My friend and I would race for hours, the sound track was banging with Uncle Cracker song Fever For The Flavor.
For me, it was the very 1st "Road & Track Presents: The Need For Speed that got me hooked into semi-realistic racing game! Before that, most of the racing games were all very, well, game-ly, like F-Zero, Outrun, Daytona Racing, etc. The R&T Need for speed was one of the 1st game that tried to use real car spec for a more realistic (relatively speaking) driving experience. I also raced with a friend online, using 56K modem!!!
I did not like the early Need for Speed games at all. The series got me at Underground and I have been a fan since. Unfortunately EA sucks major eggs when it comes to consistent quality.
Carbon, Underground 1 and 2, Most Wanted and Heat are among my top racing games ever.
The Run, Payback, Undercover, Unbound and 2015 were all hot garbage to me.
Hopefully this time around they make more for people to get.
And Star Fox 2? That'll be interesting to see in action
After the whole fiasco with the NES Mini, I'm not going to waste my time until there's a surplus of consoles available. Everyone knows the scalpers will be the first to buy it, and resell it starting at $100+ and higher depending on demand. Honestly the Sega one is far more appealing because I can at least play cartridges on it, while this one doesn't look like it can read them at all.
I do want to at least give this one a chance since it does have about 90% of what I wanted from the SNES era (with the exception of a few games which I'm surprised didn't make the cut), but unless I can get it from a store (not a scalper) I'll wait it out. Both on the Nintendo site, and the article, it doesn't say it's a limited run; so if it's a permanent thing it's about time Nintendo listened to their fans. If it is limited, I'll pass. Not because it's a "limited release," because I'm not buying into the hype of "omg I need one" to re-release down the road.
oh geez, I hope I can actually get one this time... just as I got over the stress and frustration of missing out on the NES classic...
will try to pick it up
Yes
