I might end up with Bomberman this month.  I want to test out the Multiplayer capabilities.  This sounds like a .... blast? lol  :great:

Some of the single player Bomberman games were a grind.  Others are extremely fun.  SNES Super Bomberman was pretty fun.  The Super Bomberman R games were pretty fun as well!

Sounds like we need to test the multiplayer capabilities soon, @targetrasp

I got the cheap trophies on the bomber man collection, all I had to do was start each game. I played a little of each one and lost interest kinda quick. The single player gets tedious. I'll keep working at it though, probably not a difficult game to platinum, especially with the rewind function!

LOL @targetrasp - Big Tournament Golf is what you are jonesing for right now?  :))    I am still considering it as well... but I don't think I want to spend that much money.  It's not bad overall.  For what you're getting, it really isn't super overpriced.  It's still a lot of money though.


Quote from: retro junkie on October 08, 2026, 03:29:29 PMI did not preorder because I am satisfied with what I am getting from Evercade, plus I do still have my Neo Geo CD. And My Neo Geo mini. So I have enough Neo Geo for my Neo Geo appetite. If this console and price point was there thirty years ago I would have been all over it. But still who wants to wait one year?

I get that on the Evercade and everything else... and honestly, I'll be shocked with the recent attacks if this doesn't get delayed more.  It seems like the situation in the Middle East keeps getting a bit worse.


I am hoping someone gets it so I can drool over it lol.

Quote from: BLUEVOODU on March 19, 2018, 12:03:48 AMyou know I find it interesting though... as much of a game changer as it would've been... today we are still going back to the way of the cart.  Maybe that's partly introduced by cheaper and cheaper flash media and super fast bus transfer speeds.  Eventually a spinning disc cannot keep up with non-moving parts.

We are somewhat at the tipping point of going back. But we will see... I doubt we'll enter the cart era again.  I see the future being Either something new OR something like a 3DS, switch  and Vita cart... or something like it in a small form factor system.

Bumping this topic up!  it's interesting how the Switch, Switch 2 have changed certain things.  It's also interesting at how the markets have changed due to High graphics card and disk prices.  The pricing of cart or memory card based systems have all gone way up.  On top of that, Sony and many others are in the process of going media less.

I envisioned more of what the Switch and Switch 2 offer for the future... a mobile home console. While not the most uber powerful, they run games well enough that you can get into pretty much everything these days. A long time ago, I was a big fan of the PDA - Palm, etc.   I think they were just too far ahead of the party.  I do think we will stay in the Nintendo Switch / Steam Deck / ROG Ally (Xbox Ally) size of consoles.  There are many more devices these days.   While the sizes tend to be very large, my hands don't fall asleep as much like would I would play on the 3DS XL - For whatever reason.

However, if Nintendo had kept the CD Add-on (meaning they didn't push back on Sony), I think a good portion of gaming history would have been changed.  I don't think the push to digital distribution would have changed though.  If there was no Sony, Sega might not have been decimated.  We might have also saw a Turbo CD type console emerge in the place of where Sony filled the void.  Sony consolidated many fans to their systems from other systems... they really took the air out of the room... and for good reason.

What do you think?

I'm still considering it. I spent around $800 for the polymega and as much of the modules as they had at the time and it seemed like I waited well over a year. In hindsight, it's been turned on once and collects dust. With that said, the mature decision for me would be abstinence >:( 

who knows what I'll do, but I really want that golf game!

I'm satisfied with the PS5 version thus far. I popped the game in to try it out and wound up playing for nearly three hours. I'm already though the single player campaign of Super Bomberman and started the original (and very skippable if you're not trophy hunting) Bomberman. I was also shocked to find the PS5 version came with an instruction booklet.
