I wondered what I was gonna still find here after being away from the forums and having forgotten all about this thread... Would it just be elmer still milking this for every last possible lulz from where it left off ? Nope, instead a new chapter has opened, the "Coleco Cameleon..."

I honestly thought they were poking fun of themselves, but no, this looks like it's a serious Hail Mary retro reboot... So apparently attaching yourself to the name Coleco, another failed console-maker, while still using the shell of another failed console-maker, is the "winning formula" they were missing before HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I love these guys, I can't think of another thread in my viewing history that has brought so much lulz!!

Maybe two wrongs really do make a right.

I know you are all jaded, but this entire fiasco was sublimely absurd art.

Dadaist.

Dada.

A whole new round of lulz at their expense... I am somewhat exhausted of this and I actually liked "Retro VGS" as a title better, but hey, the show must go on.

[NightWolve]

I call it the "winning team" shot.

I think the RETRO VGS is a great idea.  I've bought reproduction carts of classic games for the past 3 years, as well as homebrew games.  I love buying old NES, SNES, or Sega Genesis games that never got an English translation and then finding new life in a repro cart complete with box, manual, and poster fully in English.  I believe the RETRO VGS will be more than just a system for indie titles.  It could be a home for old classics receiving HD Remasters, a breath of fresh air for budding game developers to achieve their dream of developing for a classic system like the SNES, Genesis, or even the Neo Geo, and you can even develop new games that take advantage of the full capabilities of the RETRO VGS.

Just imagine Square Enix, Konami, and Capcom jumping on board to revive their classic Secret of Mana & Final Fantasy titles, Castlevania, or even Mega Man?  If they find the HD Remasters working out, maybe they will even develop original content.

Frankly, I'm tired of the "digital revolution," where everything is downloadable to your hard drive.  Sure, it's convenient.  But I WANT a physical instruction manual, collectible maps & posters, and decent artwork on my game box.  Mike Kennedy knows his RETRO business because he is developing a console that is striving to stay away from the digital world (no internet connection for updates and such).  20 years from now, I want the RETRO VGS to still function without needing some patch from the Internet, unlike the Xbox One where it tries to connect to the Internet for every little thing.  I can't even play Killer Instinct on Xbox One without it saying, "The Console needs to go online for a game update."  You can't even save the game without the update?!?

I haven't heard anything about the system's price yet until the Kickstarter next week.  I wouldn't judge its price just yet until the official announcement.  Please support the RETRO VGS if you can.  I think it will make a statement to the mainstream console manufacturers.

But what are they thinking? Perhaps something like this ...

"God, I hope that nobody sees this. I'm only here because these idiots paid me to take the photos!"

"My butt-plug tickles!"

"God, I miss being a High School jock. Everyone used to love me. Please let me go back in time and do it again!"

"Who are these guys again? Crap, who cares anyway ... Good weed, man!"

Hell no.

But a bunch of unreleased Sega Genesis/MD games will be included. Stuff that Piko Interactive put out on carts...

Didn't think so. That Marble Madness guy is pretty much holding that proto for ransom.

Ah, you did it in order from left to right. Heh, you read my mind on the 2nd one! Or, more like one of them just pinched or slapped his behind.
