I think the RETRO VGS is a great idea. I've bought reproduction carts of classic games for the past 3 years, as well as homebrew games. I love buying old NES, SNES, or Sega Genesis games that never got an English translation and then finding new life in a repro cart complete with box, manual, and poster fully in English. I believe the RETRO VGS will be more than just a system for indie titles. It could be a home for old classics receiving HD Remasters, a breath of fresh air for budding game developers to achieve their dream of developing for a classic system like the SNES, Genesis, or even the Neo Geo, and you can even develop new games that take advantage of the full capabilities of the RETRO VGS.
Just imagine Square Enix, Konami, and Capcom jumping on board to revive their classic Secret of Mana & Final Fantasy titles, Castlevania, or even Mega Man? If they find the HD Remasters working out, maybe they will even develop original content.
Frankly, I'm tired of the "digital revolution," where everything is downloadable to your hard drive. Sure, it's convenient. But I WANT a physical instruction manual, collectible maps & posters, and decent artwork on my game box. Mike Kennedy knows his RETRO business because he is developing a console that is striving to stay away from the digital world (no internet connection for updates and such). 20 years from now, I want the RETRO VGS to still function without needing some patch from the Internet, unlike the Xbox One where it tries to connect to the Internet for every little thing. I can't even play Killer Instinct on Xbox One without it saying, "The Console needs to go online for a game update." You can't even save the game without the update?!?
I haven't heard anything about the system's price yet until the Kickstarter next week. I wouldn't judge its price just yet until the official announcement. Please support the RETRO VGS if you can. I think it will make a statement to the mainstream console manufacturers.

He's the scandanavian guy that tried to sell a consolized custom two-slot that was factory sealed new.
Then who was the THUG LIFE WHITE BOY who sang about "my song is not on the radio" (presumably because it was not commercial-sounding enough, because his music was too-authentically-from-the-streets)?

nat posted a thread awhile back that was a collection of all the epic FAILS here.
I am too lazy to search for it, possibly someone else will find it and enlighten everyone.
The Hall of Shame? I linked it at the top of this page.

What about that guy with the awful facebook group who insisted that Jigoku Meguri is officially titled and most commonly known as "Penguin Town" or something?
Turned out he had an account here a year or two before that flame war and had made an ass of himself then too.
Every quote I read by him was ridiculous.

Is it the same guy that also forced the name "Shadow Land" on a namco PCE game?

Not a quote from PCEFX but from another forum... still, he's a longtime member here too. Can you guess who said this without cheating?

I think if you use the Arcade Card, you get arcade quality graphics and sound. If you use other cards, you get shitty-ass console graphics and sound. The Arcade Card is for bringing the arcade home.
