NinSEGA

I'm looking to play some Japanese imports on my Sega CD, and this is apparently the best device to do the job. Here's a pic of what it looks like-

I managed to get it to work on my Game Gear 2110G using a Master Gear Converter (Model: G-233)-

I managed to snag a copy, but it's not booting up on either converter, and I don't have an actual Master System to try it on. I read somewhere that it's either because it's an 8-meg cartridge or only compatible with PAL or Brazilian machines, but the posters on those forums weren't 100% sure and had conflicting info. Does anyone here know for sure? EDIT: I tested it out in a Sega Game Gear 2110G using a Master Gear Converter (Model G-233), and it worked perfectly.

I bought a North American unit that I found in the wild at a retro game/comic book store several years ago, but I never managed to get any games for it. I'm looking for Power Rangers Zeo, Racing Days, and Super Marathon.

So it turns out that these "not picked-up"/not claimed copies are going for 20 euros more than the original price. Anyone able to clarify?

See, I am currently at AIT and it's difficult for me to keep track of this game's status and may be a pain in the ass to have it shipped to where I'm stationed at. They let us play games in our rooms and we have more freedoms than Basic, but I'm afraid I might miss out on the news. And yes, I'm on the list.

This game needs to be printed-on-demand. That will deter scalping and will satisfy anyone interested in buying it in the future.

So NeoGeoNinja, were you part of some sort of test for the second run?

That is excellent news! Can't wait to purchase a copy. What's the estimated date they will be available to order?

I'm on holiday block leave until January 3rd, so I've been trying to catch up on some video game news. Anything new with this?

If I successfully placed an order for the CGE edition, does that guarantee me a copy?

Please don't sell the prototype for Total Carnage or the master disc for Iron Soldier 2. They should stay with Songbird Productions for reference.

No wonder why crooks keep getting re-elected into office.

Unless I'm mistaken, that's the Bomberman clone that Seb worked on, which is not the same Bomberman that Mike Mika (professional programmer) managed to strike a deal with between Atari and Hudson Soft for an SNES version port to the Jaguar.

That's the fan game. We're talking about the Hudson Soft Bomberman in this thread.

Does anyone know how complete it is?

My major gripe with the game is the terribly-placed obstacles that you can't easily get out of. You are pretty much guaranteed to lose if you accidentally get stuck in one.

This time, you guys should spread the word instead of just keeping it exclusively to this forum so that many more copies are purchased. I want to see this news spread to NeoGAF, Destructoid, Kotaku, Joystiq, Sonic Stadium... whatever. This crap should not be scalped. Reminds me of just finding out a week ago that there was a batch of grey Turok: Rage Wars carts back in 2012 that were being sold for $12.99 each with scalpers nabbing 25 at a time. Finding out about this stuff makes me bummed and the seller should have limited it to 1 per person.

So... how do Songbird Productions and Telegames go about doing "reprinting on demand"? I remember back during Songbird's Black Friday 10% discount, I received an email stating that he was still working on making the cartridges to meet all of the orders that were placed during that time. Also, there has been a new batch of Iron Soldier 2 carts produced recently. And you guys say it's not about greed or profit, yet mention that the game devs aren't going to license their IPs out to the guys who can mass-produce these games because the devs will get a smaller cut of the profit. Contradiction much? I'd rather get a smaller cut of the profit if it means I don't have to deal with the hassles of material hunting, production, returns, etc. because I'd still be making money on each sale. You don't see Krisalis Software or Bethesda Softworks complaining about licensing out their IPs to Songbird.

^This. So much this. You guys complain about scalpers, well, one way to deter scalping is to always make your product available so that supply MEETS demand.

Which Bethesda Softworks logo will be on the packaging? or the old early-90s look like on the bottom-right of Elder Scrolls Arena here- I'm hoping for the old 90s logo.

Is "jagwire" the Canadian pronunciation for jaguar?

Thanks to SuperDork3000 for finding this article that probably explains why Mr. Koda is the way he is- http://www.bertelmann.org/atari-archive/be_en.htm

I was searching through their catalog and noticed that Atari Karts had a listing of "TBA" next to it instead of a price or the placeholder amount of "£0.00". I mean, if they have the rights to reprint the Iron Soldier series which is an Atari IP, why couldn't they get the rights to Atari Karts? It would definitely stop the scalpers on eBay.
