Getting married next month and the other half agreed to hire some retro arcades for the day! We got Sunset Riders, The Simpsons, Dungeons and Dragons 2 and Streetfighter Vs Marvel.

 

Proper chuffed.

I'm getting married in November and we've hired the same thing! We've hired two cabinets but might stretch to four, and right now our short list is; Mario Kart '64, Goldeneye, Halo 3 and Super Monkey Ball.

That’s what weddings are for, congratulations  😁

Oh, and to anyone interested in the RetroMania game, here’s a tweet containing a video of how the game is currently coming along. Gives you an idea of style/flow. Looking at Q1 2020 for it’s release.

That second Dungeons & Dragons game is crazy with the levelling and inventories etc. Marries the RPG & beat 'em up together very well.

After a conversation over the weekend, I'm shopping around for a Dendy Jr. 

It's the Soviet Russian knock-off of the NES, with some bonkers games, including a Sonic/Mario sprite swap mess. There's a bunch on eBay which seem to be modern recreations with built-in games, which I might resort to, but was hoping for an original. For the price, I'm not sure how much I trust dodgy Russian eBay sellers, though.

Sega have announced all 42 games for the Megadrive Mini. The annoying thing is the lack of 6 button pads packed in. They'll be about £15-20 each I reckon. It's a decent list though.

Blows my mind thar we're getting Sega news from Nintendo Life :crazy: Would never have got this from Nintendo Magazine System.

Most of the bases and eras covered in that list, shame to waste megabytes on the usual Sega suspects but if there isn't a six button variant a couple of those are going to be massively crippled.

The 6-button is a pack-in in Japan, but outside of Japan they're going to sell them separately. I think they're the ones that Retrobit do, so should be compatible with PC as well. 

Apparently you'll also be able to buy a little Mega CD and 32X to attach to the Megadrive mini for the full aesthetic.

Ohhh, imagine if the Mega-cd was playable, and they released a selection of games on one of those mini GameCube sized disks.

I need to have bath now.
