tl;dr of the above posts: This is a console aimed at NA VGA95+ collectards mostly, the "running the games" part is the least important thing in the project.


I wonder what will be the percentage of buyers that will actually remove the console from its shrinkwrap and cardboard box to play the highly anticipated launch titles such as:

haters gonna hate, but I will probably get this.

Yeaaah, riiight... Haters gonna hate, riders gonna riiiide... Except that the "haters" here actually articulated rational, logical, honest, etc. arguments/points as to why this is such a boneheaded/absurd idea... "Cheerleaders gonna cheerlead" is more like it...

Sorry, but one side is clearly far more blind here than the other... Enjoy your "console" should the idea for it ever materialize into a solid product that honors a previous failed console. ;) This begs to be lambasted and some of us don't like seeing gullible people hand over their money to lost causes.

again, I am still curious.

Why waste time on this when we're already making games for the retro systems we like?

I won't stop NEC/MSXing for some Jaguar jive bullshit.  There aren't even that many retro developers that are coherent/competent.

They might as well call it the Bright Eyed Naive Developer Box.

I never said that I didn't agree with points being made by everyone on here. I am just willing to give the console a chance. Sorry if others don't agree with me.

For the PCE, I am hereby begging you to make a Neutopia/F-Zero crossover. That would be fantastic.

Including HDMI is a no-brainer. I've already seen friends having no idea where to connect composite video cables to their Samsung TVs, because the recent ones only come with proprietary adaptors for anything that's not HDMI - but no standard RCA, S-Video, component or even Euro-Scart and VGA sockets anymore.

You dismissed "others" as "haters" which implies blind hate or hate just for the hell of it as if the criticism levied against this dumb idea wasn't well thought out and defended... Maybe don't throw dumb, dismissive shit around in the form of overused slogans like "haters gonna hate" against critics (AKA those that don't agree with you).

The term "hater" was designed by and used exclusively by total pieces of shit for so long that it would never occur to me to reason with someone using it "incorrectly". People who are so horrible that they have the ultimate final horrible human attribute: the inability to take responsibility or to even acknowledge their own horribleness to such an extreme extent that they actually see all of their critics as the cause of all the commotion.

Suge Knight has "haters", surely the reason he's on trial for murder AGAIN can't be his own murderous self. That dead guy's family are just haters.

Using the term "hater" in a non-ironic fashion is the fastest way to tell people you are a total cunt, that you have no interest in fairness, logic, history, etc, and I fully appreciate people like this using it so that there is no confusion.

Wow, talk about taking things a little too seriously around here. I am happy you can have an accurate portrayal of me for saying three words in a joking manner. judgmental much?

Do I have to know you well to find slogans like "haters gonna hate" dumb, dismissive, annoying, etc. ? I criticize/mock its use and other forms like "riders gonna ride..." I wouldn't go as far as Zeta did, so take that up with him.
