This is the first time I've checked this thread since Iacovelli deleted his account.  I didn't read back beyond page 8 where the "new post" button led me... and I give no shits about the dramas either way, but I have to point out one damning piece of evidence:

It was a joke. It's in the Taylor Swift song Shake it off lol. Geez

Taylor Swift?

Necro post for anyone who is interested, or wants to laugh. I'm somewhat interested, but I'll wait till it's out.

Currently the launch game list is...

Tiny Knight (Wonder Boy type game with Amiga graphics)
Sydney Hunter and the Caverns of Death (also coming to NES, SNES, Wii U)
Read Only Memories (digital comic I guess)
Songbringer (randomly generated Zelda type game)
Super Noah's Ark 3D (for the SNES collectards)
Pier Solar (of course)

Only Tiny Knight is a new game.

Controller is a ripoff of the Wii U Pro Controller, and yes the carts look like Jaguar carts.

Shovel Knight and Retro City Rampage may come out as well.

Possibility of some Data East games coming out as well.

Why didn't they go for a Super NES Mini Type Console?

Love that Pier Solar is going to be whored onto it.

I knew you would say that. 😂

I forgot to mention, ng.dev.team is bringing some of their games to the console. Idk which ones.

I wonder if they are going to bring the NEOGEO AES price along with them....

So, here's a question. Those optimistic for this POS *ahem* machine, have you bought and played all the great 2D games that already exist over several different platforms? Have you tried buying a cheap-o computer to play indie PC games on the TV with a 360 controller (or better)? I just don't see the need for this thing anywhere. It's gotta be loved only by those who love "ooh shiny!".

I just don't see the need for this thing anywhere.

That seemed to be our consensus. I doubt it will change.

New announcement on Facebook. What do you Obeyers think?

One question: Why are you trying to create an entirely new architecture instead of developing for steam, xbone, ps4, etc.?

Bonus question: Are you retarded?

Hate to be a boner killer here, but there is a reason why we don't see any new cartridge based system nowadays (unless you count the DS line). Wouldn't it be more economical to release them on a sd card or a variant of? Or CD based? I'm pretty sure if it gets the AES treatment ($200 per game yikes) it'll likely fail.. BTW, I'm still confused why they chose to use a shell of a failed system. I mean do they really want to equate their system to the toilet that was the Jaguar?
