billford123 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Ok looks like Walmart took all references to a date for the Flashback Switch release. BUT, I found it on Target with a date of 12/4. Gamestop still has 11/26, which is odd since it is a Monday. Fingers crossed 12/4 is an actual date and not a place holder!

ubersaurus Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Does it have the ability to rotate the screen for Flip Grip usage? And does the touch screen work with the 5200 keypad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billford123 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 got my Atari Flashback Classics for Switch today!! I am happy, pretty good ports (same as the xb1/ps4 games). Yes, it has a setting that says "ask me for portrait mode games" so if you want i to rotate it should for those games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 NOICE I like it when 'tate mode is easily invoked Hope the digital version drops soon. https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/atari-flashback-classics-switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Digital version is out. https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/atari-flashback-classics-switch It's $40, which seems like a lot but that's $0.26 per game, which seems easier to swallow continuing my rationalization for buying the same stupid games over and over again: $40 in 2018 is like $13.27 in 1980 $0.26 in 2018 is like $0.09 in 1980 and that is a bargain for me.

dj_convoy Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I'm buying it again just because I want everything in one place (as opposed to disc swapping or launching a different program on the digital side). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffVav Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 (edited) Does it have the ability to rotate the screen for Flip Grip usage? And does the touch screen work with the 5200 keypad? Yes and yes. Edit to add: it does have scanline effects, but they're turned off in these screenshots because scanline effects don't look good when browsers scale the images.

dj_convoy Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Hmm. I've ordered it on Amazon, and there's no in stock date. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I like the options for Vector Glow. None Realistic (I like this) Bright Bold Standard I think this game is best played with some M&Ms nearby. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I think I recognize your name, you worked for Digital Eclipse out of Emoryville didn't you? A couple of friends of mine from back in the later 90s worked there at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of friends of mine from back in the later 90s worked there at the time. Me? I ran the Vancouver studio where the emulation teams were based, which is what became Code Mystics. We did a lot of colabs with Emeryville on Game Boy stuff though. Both Emeryville and Vancouver did Game Boy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akito01 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I one thing I noticed that I really like is that you can flick the right stick to both bring out and hide the keypad controls for 5200 games. I kinda wish they had done this for 2600 games to bring up and down the console controls. As it is, there is no real quick way to reset a game since you have to press + to bring up the menu, then select the console to bring it up, and B to hide it again. If I could flick the right stick up, press A, and flick it down again, that'd be bliss.Alternately, it'd be cool to have the ability to map console controls to the unused controller buttons (difficulty switches to L and R, reset to X, that kind of thing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) Ordered this from GameStop website of all places because that's the only place I could find it in stock. Added the Genesis collection to my cart for good measure. Must have been a pretty limited physical release! Certainly appreciate them making the effort to still put out a cart.

mckafka99 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Just checking to confirm that Tempest doesnt offer/support the option to flip to portrait mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akito01 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 No, Tempest doesn't offer a flip option. I don't think it was a vertical monitor game though?

Lord Helmet Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Man I really hope I can track down a physical copy of this eventually. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffVav Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Just checking to confirm that Tempest doesnt offer/support the option to flip to portrait mode? Not yet. Tempest was a bit unique because of how vectors scale. It is our intention to add portrait mode to Tempest in a patch though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
