So schlecht wie sein Ruf ist er nicht. Das kommt oft vom Online Schwarmwissen, genauso wie dass E.T. das schlechteste Game ever ist usw.

Aber toll ist die Konsole natürlich dennoch nicht. Hardware-Bugs, ein unergonomischer Controller und viele Spiele, die jeden Feinschliff vermissen lassen.

Yes, nice to see these are officially available in Europe at all after the 3 retro figures from last year were Walmart exclusives in the US.

I just ordered from coolshop. They only had the diorama and the Sonic 2 and 3 ones though.

Thanks for the info, I hadn’t heard of this. Pretty cool!
I also prefer the European MD branding personally. Not neccessarily because of the name but the logo just looks a lot more elegant and stylish.

Where are those figures and the display from? I am aware of the 3 figures from a few years ago with Axel from SoR, but Mr X and Death Bringer?

Gave 10$. Not much but it‘s what I can afford. Hope it helps.

Yeah, I am not aware of any system holder forbidding a technical style for a game so I imagine this may be a bit of frustration and guessing from the dev.

I can understand it too because it looks impressive.

It was probably just the time, others didn’t find publishers either with the DS not far.

So Nintendo was in talks to publish at some point? I mean if they were looking for another publisher I don’t see how Nintendo could and would halt the project.

Tut mir irgendwie immer leid, dass die CE so verramscht wird. Ist wirklich ein exzellentes Spiel, auch auf Konsole, muss aber wirklich gefloppt sein.

Allein schon der Name des Entwurfs zeigt was für ein unsäglicher Zirkus das inzwischen ist.

Alles muss ein Witz sein, alles muss andere Trollen. Den Feind zu triggern und auf sozialen Medien Aufmerksamkeit zu bekommen ist wichtiger als die Sinnhaftigkeit einer Maßnahme.

Alles ist verblödet.

Ein echtes Manhattan Project.

But… they must have been aware of this other company existing when they bought the rights. They must have been aware there was still another claim to the name.
From the viewpoint of that other Commodore it’s understandable that they don‘t want someone else using the name.

I never knew his name but I certainly know his face from various shows over the decades. Sadly the first thing that always comes to my mind is his guest role on the Cosby Show. Probably not the best moment in hindsight. ^^

Good to see he seems to be doing well and is active for good causes.

Wow, that´s genius! :D

The Oliver twins probably don’t care about gaming anymore and go the pragmatic route. It‘s easy money, and people will eventually accept it so better get into the AI slop while they still can.
It’s sad but I bet they are just sure this is an easy way to add to their fortunes.

People have come to treat art and entertainment like fast food. There is no respect for art. Be it a comic book, a movie or a video game… the AI made results are „good enough“ at a glance from an audience losing its ability to focus on anything for more than a few seconds anyway.

I‘m afraid the onslaught of AI in all aspects of life is unstoppable, much like digital goods at the mercy of corporations instead of actual ownership of consumers were.

In the end too many consumers will be fine with it. People get used to it and won’t mind.

It‘s sad but I feel it’s hopeless.

Whenever I see Mike Johnson I have to think of an old pre-Trump German documentary about weird cultural stuff in the USA where there showed something like a virginity ball (?) and Mike Johnson was in it.

It looked like he was getting married to his little daughter.

After the Last Ninja issues where they considered removing LN3 because of a screen and I assume the inability to just hack the ROM I‘m not so sure there is much to celebrate about System 3. It’s probably just an empty shell by now, used to make quick cash from nostalgia with no effort.

Obviously a Nobel prize won this year must be for research that was only done this year and only thanks to him. That’s just how quick things work under a very stable genius‘ rule. 🙄

Hey, ein FMV Brawler, was könnte es besseres geben?🤣 Die 90er sind stark in diesem Game, trotz viktorianischen Settings. 😁

Eigentlich erstaunlich, dass sie hier nicht einfach die MD Version mit CD Sound garniert haben, sondern was eigenes gemacht.
October 29, 2025 at 5:59 PM
Am häufigsten wahrscheinlich Street Fighter II SCE. Das habe ich von 1993 bis 1995 ständig gezockt.

Aber mehr MD spezifisch, und besonders für die Konsole… Revenge of Shinobi, Sonic, Streets of Rage 2 und Landstalker. Großartige Games.

Trage sie selbst nur noch in solchen Situationen, weil das regelmäßige Maskentragen gegen die Verbreitung kaum Sinn macht, wenns sonst keiner tut und man am Ende noch angepöbelt wird.
Daher habe ich zwar immer eine neue FFP2 dabei, packe sie aber nur aus wenns voll ist oder ich mich krank fühle.
October 29, 2025 at 7:54 AM
Weil die Pandemie für beendet erklärt wurde und das in den Köpfen der meisten Menschen damit gegessen ist. Schlimmer noch: sehr viele halten die Masken inzwischen generell für einen Irrweg.

Muss mir aber an die eigene Nase fassen: trage sie auch nur noch wenn ich krank bin oder der Ort überfüllt.

I think that was the same magazine that later published photos of him with a crack pipe and doing some stuff.

They seem to have been very eager to follow his downfall even long after he had been out of the spotlight.
