Deeeefinitely better than Sonic. Yes, the hedgehog still gets games today, but they are... inconsistent.
Could have fooled me with how much defense you run for Soyny. Is it just a larp then or do you get possesed by the ghost of Marissa Moira at random intervals?
True, but it's the only other successful classic franchise still going that I can think of. Sonic is on a bit of streak currently too, no bad games since Frontiers, just mediocre or good. Low bar there though lol
He's just a bit of a contrarian at times.
I swear by their MP3 player. Simple interface, great battery life, good storage. Why would I use my phone like a retard when I can use a dedicated machine that works well?
I have an unhacked PS4 Pro on whatever firmware was current when I unplugged it for good in early 2021.
God bless that recent collection.
Sometimes it's good to have a device dedicated to a particular function, but having something with additional functionality is usually pretty convenient.
I don't mind, it makes discussion more interesting.
I hope it leads to a Star Force collection next.
What are you talking about? There are a ton of 1991 and earlier franchises that are still going strong today. There’s probably 10 from Nintendo alone.
There have only been two mainline games since Frontiers (Origins and Superstars), and they were both bad.
There was also Dream Team for Apple Arcade. All three titles averaged 7's, which for a franchise with 5's in its recent history is not only a step in the right direction but also refreshingly consistent for a change.
even Team Sonic Racing was bad, which was a real shame because Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed is the only other kart racer to even compete with Mario Kart. Sonic's just a cursed franchise
I doubt there's 10 still "going strong" by Nintendo from then. Mario, Zelda, Fire Emblem, and maybe Metroid but it's had significant downtime and duds, so it's debatable. And that's about it.
If we're only talking mainline games then the list narrows even further, and Final Fantasy is definitely kept off the list now lol
I can't believe they managed to fuck that up. That's an impressive degree of incompetence.
The Ouya will always be one of my favorites. Not because I owned it or anything, but just because of how big of a mess it all was.
The only good ones there are Vita, Wii U, Saturn, and Dreamcast. Neo Geo Pocket Color is borderline, but I like it.
Nuon was an extra feature hidden in random DVD players. Games for it are rare and expensive as hell. It's really hard to pinpoint any sale numbers because it's just a random smattering of assorted models of DVD players.
Atari Lynx isn't bad. Download the romset and check it out in emulation on your favorite handheld sometime.
I also like the Atari jaguar, at least I do these days due to the homebrew community that it has. A lot of impressive games for it have been made to due to homebrewers.
In a vacuum I suppose it's not, especially if you like arcade-style games, supposedly people really like Klax a lot. I guess that's like its Tetris. For 1989 it's pretty impressive hardware.
The Jaguar is interesting to me as a retro game nerd, but its library is pretty damn depressing. Whoever got stuck with that as a kid instead of a PlayStation has my condolences.
PC is good. Mobile and cloud, not so much, although I'm not surprised they're targeting mobile considering that's where all the coveted "female gamers" are.
