      Yeah, they bought the cell phone division of Nokia awhile back. The Nokia line of Lumia phones will eventually be named Windows Lumia. They are good phones. The problem is people are all caught up in "number of apps" instead of quality of the phone. For me, I prefer Windows Phone since it makes what I do in public relations easier.

      I can't really argue with this statement.

      There are plenty of them, and more coming I am sure. There must be an engine out there somewhere that runs on the Dreamcast that devs are sharing.

      You will also need a modded Saturn to play this. There are swap tricks available but they are all "weird" and not nearly as user friendly as they are made out to be.

      I had never heard of this game prior to this conversion. Youtube vids of it make it look pretty interesting though. Not AAA first game that came to mind but still interesting.

  5. Which version of Final Fight is your favorite? @Sega CD or Super @Nintendo http://t.co/oNSHultHa6 #retro #retrogaming

    1. triverse

      triverse

      We did a similar comparison in issue #1 of RGM but since the Sega CD was not able to make it past the early voting from fans, Final Fight didn't make the cut. We are working on fixing that.

      The game is free. I am going to do more coverage of it soon though it will be through an emulator (I don't have the hardware to play it on actual hardware).

      Eh, they are cool "what if" recreations. They are just for fun for the people that make them.

      That is ridiculous. I have been waiting about a week or so. Asked this on Facebook and someone on their account replied asking what was my user name but that was it.

      I think it is just another piece in the ongoing transition of Microsoft to become a services company rather than a software only company.

      Tickled, you bring up a good point. The Windows Phone OS is great for "1st cell phone owners" and the elderly that simply are not interested in a ton of things on the screen cluttering it.

       

      Drac, I agree, MS has problems getting outside of their comfort zone. They are still quite new to gaming and have no clue how to monetize their game consoles to actually turn a profit.

      That would be great. I wonder why they haven't done it already, or at least announced it?

      They are listing the SFC/SNES and such as different probably because they were marketed in different parts of the world, and for the most part there was some form of lockout technology in place for each. I agree with you though, to me they are the same system but for most gamers, they are different.

      I agree with you VectorGamer. While having a company like Konami on board is great news for such an early platform (it is not even officially announced yet) but that alone does not make a system great. Now, if Konami were to release say, an all new Contra, Snatcher, Gradius, etc on this thing and ONLY on this thing then it might have a chance of grabbing attention.

      Good question there since "World 1-1" was something that was popularized with the release of Super Mario Bros on the NES.

      I loved the 3DO port of SSF2T. Great port and showed the 3DO could do great games.

       

      Sony and Capcom reached a deal, I believe Sony is even helping develop it.

      I personally had no problem with FMV games back in the day and wish they would make a return on modern hardware- the additional power could surely mean more "game" this time.
