The Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap remaster is out now on PS4/XB1/Switch - aside from the HD reskin (which can be disabled or mix-and-matched with the old sprites and music) it's pretty much identical to the original in terms of mechanics and design, they didn't gently caress with it like Ducktales Remastered or whatever. If you've never played it then this is the version to play, and if you played and liked the original then there's not much to hate about the remaster (and if you played and didn't like the original then don't bother, they didn't "fix" anything). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYXzXBbFKOY

The day may come when I can load RetroPie off of a shared directory on my Ubuntu NAS, along with all the assets for Attract Mode, and be able to save and do all of the things without needing to have a huge SD card or a USB drive attached. But it is not this day.

You most certainly could do that with a network boot, but it would take 100x the effort to figure out and doesn't make sense at a scale of 1 device.

Yeah but if you really want a pure experience you're gonna have to step your game up. You don't want dirty electricity for other people getting in the way of your sweet pixels.

I looked into a full-on network boot for all of twenty minutes before noping the gently caress out of there. So, I was able to get things to "work" by adding the network locations into autostart.sh (and I've used fstab in the past), but what ends up happening is: • Controls for Attract Mode can be configured, but won't save once changed in the in-program menu. If I edit the file with nano and save it, it will work, though? • Saves (SRAM or Save State) are just flat-out not working at all. I've CHOWNed the lot of it to nobody:nogroup and things have the rights and permissions they need. Also: Retroarch controller config is actually working and behaving!

Wise Fwom Yo Gwave posted:The way I viewed the whole NES Classic getting discontinued was: Sometimes companies will have internal reasons for doing things. For example this one beer company I like used to make two types of beer, one of which was better than the other, and discontinued the better variety. One day I met some people who worked at the factory and asked them about it. They basically explained that it was kind of a pain in the rear end for them to be making two beers, and they had trouble keeping the premium one in stock because people kept buying and hoarding it, so they decided to discontinue the product and only make one kind of beer. Now, that company probably doesn't make any more or less money now than they did previously; probably they sold the same amount of beer after the change as before. The only difference is it's just easier for them to make one kind of beer? It seems totally counterintuitive but when it comes to actual production lines this is often how decisions get made.

It's a one-man project so it takes like two years to make a single episode, but it's really good. The author really nails that grimy late night cartoon feel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uieM18rZdHY

That Mappy cartoon was made through a weird initiative called ShiftyLook that also did a bunch of webcomics based on Namco properties and even a couple games - a browser-based dating sim called Namco High and a Wonder Momo game by Wayforward that was released exclusively for Nvidia Shield and pulled after a few months. The main guy behind ShiftyLook is the same guy behind the recently-announced Klonoa animated movie, but they're playing that a lot straighter than most of the ShiftyLook stuff.

I remember reading the Galaga webcomic that was done by Christopher Hastings (Dr. McNinja), and it wasn't half-bad. Though you could tell he had plans for the second arc that had to be quickly dropped when the entire ShiftyLook initiative started to shut down. Wrapped up very abruptly. The SkyKid comic wasn't half bad either. Didn't really bother with the others.

I liked the Wonder Momo one, for some reason. The Katamari comic was weird in very non Katamari way. Wasn't Andrew Hussey involved with the dating sim?

There is also a short Wonder Momo anime. I still think the Mappy cartoon is the best project it generated though.

I have the Shiftylook Mappy cartoon theme as my ringtone. Because about five months ago I came across the cartoon while looking up Mappy strategy videos because I had become obsessed with the Mappy game because there's a freeplay arcade machine at my place of work and I'm one of like three people who habitually play with the thing. Been trying to beat my own high score of 124000+ I got back in December. Wish I could secure a faithful emulation of the arcade game; the version of Mappy in the Namco Museum disc on PSOne is way too fast and none of my strategies work on it. Ideally I'd get an authentic Mappy cabinet, but no way in hell that'll ever happen. Kris Straub and Scott Kurtz did the Mappy cartoon, and it's very much in the same vein of humor and pacing as their Blamimation cartoons. Here are my favorites - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUXjKuCeNRs and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIutwfjv5hs Features

I'm usually not one to believe the much of the nintendo conjecture about scarcity and stock decisions, but I made a realization with the NES Mini. If they come out with a SNES mini, they could raise the price $10+ dollars and probably double the profit, and partly because of the panic caused from shutting down the NES mini while it still had demand. Demand on these things won't be perpetual, so it would be best to maximize profits while the demand is at the hottest. They could probably have twice the stock of SNES and the demand will be so high, it will probably still seem just as scarce.Then they could rinse and repeat with the N64.

I was looking to get a Classic for a buddy of mine, but looks like Nintendo doesn't want money. Instead I think I'll grab an Everdrive and a spare NEW and give him that for his birthday. Won't have the cute front end but meh. Them killing the thing pretty much did in any enthusiasm I will have for any SNES/N64 models.

I really don't get what the hell Nintendo is doing these days. The NES Classic was such easy money, why shoot the golden goose so quickly? Do they feel that the Switch is good enough that they don't feel they need to "exploit" their consumer base or something? Someone please explain. I'm clearly missing something.

Do they feel that the Switch is good enough that they don't feel they need to "exploit" their consumer base or something? Somebody in the thread made a pretty good guess: the device stopped production exactly six months after its introduction, so it seems like one of the third parties on board (maybe Capcom, maybe Konami, maybe Namco, maybe all of them, who knows) had negotiated strict terms and didn't want Nintendo indefinitely selling their games for what must have obviously been a pretty low price, considering how cheap the Classic retails for. Six months is a timeline that sounds straight out of a contract. Once it obviously became a huge hit, one or more of the third parties probably tried to renegotiate for a bigger cut of the profits, which left Nintendo in the uncomfortable position of doing one of three unappealing things: 1. Paying a larger cut on licensing and either breaking even or losing money on each unit sold. This would be dumb. 2. Raising the price on the Classic. Though this might make sense on the surface (these resell for $150+ on eBay), pricing psychology is more complicated than that. If the Nintendo Classic raises its price, consumers might feel like they're getting ripped off. Then there's a chance that Nintendo and retailers are stuck with these things rotting on their shelves. This is super risky and may hurt their image. 3. Nintendo making a second NES classic with different, cheaper games. If they replace Mega Man 2 with Clu Clu Land, people will feel cheated, get confused and upset with their purchases, and may not buy the new Classic. OR if the new games are too good, people will be mad that they bought the original and Nintendo loses good will. Nobody wants this to happen. It's all speculation, but all it takes is one third party to bring the whole thing down.

Nintendo's in-house SNES emulators have been pretty mediocre in the past. Having said that the emulator they include doesn't have to be a good SNES emulator, it only has to be a good emulator specifically for the 30 or so games they package along with it.
