  • Wow, I have just discovered Taito did a remake of sorts on the DS called NewZealand Story Revolution. upgraded graphics, music, game mechanics, no more insta death. I just started it but seems like a lot of work went into making something even more playable while keeping the spirit (and level design) of the original. the spot the difference touch screen segments can be… frustrating though. Super catchy music is playing in my head all day now.




  • oh, I obviously played an inferior version - the thing is I still loved it. Didn’t notice it running choppy but may have just dismissed it as emulation glitching. Fast travel would have been nice, but the “world” is not so big that you can’t run from one side to the other in 5 minutes…


  • I played the first Y’s game on my Sega Master system back in 1989 or so and I have a lot of nostalgia for it… It’s cool to see how the games progressed as action RPG games (1 and 2 have been remade and released on mobile too) and it’s cool to follow the same characters. Just starting Y’s seven I can see they have made a lot of changes to the systems and I can’t wait to get into it more.



  • All the controls are great, nice clicky dpad and the sticks feel good with good range of motion and L3/R3 clicks work well. Saturn works well in the paid yaba sanshiro 2 emulator with some graphics glitches (Saturn emu is hard…) and I am playing baku baku and panzer dragoon. Haven’t tried arcade games but I imagine they would be good… I am able to run some ps2 games at 2x resolution 30fps - 3d games like FFX… this thing has guts. I’m able to carry all the retro games I ever wanted in my pocket.






  • It’s fantastic, runs most psp games at 3x resolution. Also runs many ps2 and GameCube games playable, if not well. Dreamcast runs great, the screen is bright and colours are vibrant. I do want a steam deck to go with this for things that need a bit more power but this is pocketable and will be on me when I go out.
