"Hi Everybody!"
As that's the Japanese lineup, shouldn't we take it with a grain of salt given the US/EU release list might still be different?

Hybrid Front, now that won't be outside Japan.

Landstalker, Contra: Hard Corps, Dyna Brothers 2 (a Sega Channel exclusive)

What's the title of this Sega Channel compilation thing they are showing? I had no idea there was a Mega Drive version of Penguin Land but it looks great.

With bloodlines and hard corps hopefully we get rocket knight as well.

Looks like they’re going for a good variety in game selection on the jp version at least. Altered Beast is still a sore spot.

I am a superfan of Hard Corps, but man, I wish it was on the Switch :negative: I just want all of my games on ONE system.

Konami has a Contra collection coming, it'll probably be in that.

The Castlevania collection coming next month has Bloodlines.

Okay, with those new 10 revealed, the Genesis Mini is starting to get a pretty interesting lineup. And there's 20 more to go, so who knows what other surprises could be in there. I would never have expected Disney to be onboard for this

There’s probably a bunch of politics involved but why do they put bad games in these things? All of these mini consoles have a few turds mixed in.

most likely ease of availability, combined with historically strong-enough sales or name recognition to justify it

it's all marketing, there isn't someone who's a Video Games Expert deciding if a game is good enough to include or anything.

in the case of the Genesis mini, and it having 40 games, some of it is probably wanting to hit that number so they can soundly outdo Nintendo's mini consoles in terms of games included. gotta keep the console wars alive

There's a lot of nostalgia pull for certain games that outweighs their marketing value as genuinely fun experiences. Like, the PS Classic was packed with weird euro garbage that doesn't hold up but all that crap was definitely emblematic of what was around and being played at the time, so I can see the logic behind the choice.

Earthworm Jim was never really a great game but I do think Genesis when I think of it so I’m glad it made it.

He doesn't own the franchise, does he? I get what you mean but if it's not putting money in his pocket then whatever, I never cared for EWJ so it's easy to go on not thinking about it.

After hearing Doug TenNapel on his podcast, he doesn't seem nearly as monstrous as articles make him out to be. He's just an evangelical Christian whom probably said some poo poo through King James level goggles—not nearly as contemptuous as you might think, more like a grandfather that you'd disagree at dinner with

I'm sure he sounds nice on what I assume is a hugbox of a podcast but he's written for breitbart and he's absolutely still on his bullshit, he's an enormous piece of poo poo.

I know he probably won't make a cent from this but I don't need to be reminded of that rear end in a top hat when I'm scrolling through the games on this thing, but it'll probably be easy to mod out so whatever.

I didn't know about Tennapal at all even though I loved the Earthworm Jim games as a kid, until I read this article back when it was published. It didn't really sell me on hating him or whatever but then he pops up in the comments and lmao.

Ya, I knew him for that article too. It was only fairly recently brought to my attention that he has a YouTube channel. Whenever a game he's worked on comes up, it usually comes back to this

I know him for his 1 on 1 interviews on The Doug Show (mid-2018), where he's frequently interviewed people from anywhere on the political/(a)religious spectrum, oftentimes very counter to his own beliefs. Though he has hardened stances on his core beliefs, he's shown himself to be fairly open to listening to those he disagrees with when they are civil towards him. Pretty soft-spoken, overall

I have no doubt he can be pretty antagonistic on Twitter, but those disagree with him haunt his online presence too, pretty ready to stir his poo poo up with some extremely rude bait aswell. It's just how people talk on the internet now IMO, but take it as you wish

For the most part yes, but including F-Zero was definitely a mistake, also if they had to include only 1 Donkey Kong Country game it should have been 2

F-Zero's rad, gently caress all yall

The only real dud was that soccer game that's on the Japanese version, other than that the games are all fine, even juddery old Starfox. It's more that there just weren't enough games for a well-rounded collection - no beat em ups, no shmups, no puzzle games on the overseas version, etc.

FZero rules and is still pretty fun. It aged better than Mario Kart 1 imo.

Thankfully the system is so easy to hack to add the few classics that were missing.

F-Zero is the prime example of the first entry of a series being immediately rendered pointless by the second. Much like Super Mario Kart.

F-Zero X was some magical poo poo. I’m sure it was the first 60fps 3D game I played and I totally noticed even if I didn’t know what framerates were as a kid. I just thought it felt so smooth and that it stood out on N64.

Yeah, why was this? I didn't know about it until I got it on the Wii VC, and I absolutely loved it. It was just so incredible.

The weird thing is that I didn't have a a SNES growing up, but of course I heard of, saw, and played a bit of F-Zero.

I had an N64 shortly after it came out, loved it, and didn't know F-Zero X existed until about 11-12 years later.

We haven’t seen a new F-Zero game since 2004 so that should answer your question.
