Steven Pendleton Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 So apparently they decided to make GG Aleste 3 and release it as part of the Aleste Collection and on the limited edition Game Gear Micro that insta-sold out and is now unobtainable without paying a scalper twice its MSRP. https://www.gematsu.com/2020/09/aleste-collection-adds-gg-aleste-3-a-new-title-made-for-game-gear Unexpected, but definitely interesting, I think.

zetastrike Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 ? Please please someone dump it. How do you go through the trouble of making a brand new game for old hardware and release it in such an asinine manner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made a Tetris game (and reworked a homebrew Darius port) for the Genesis Mini that work on real hardware. They made an arcade Fantasy Zone 2 for a ps2 collection from scratch that runs on a revision of Sega’s then-current arcade hardware. They love this kinda thing.

This has been their bread and butter since they started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they have. I thought about buying the CoreGrafx mini just for Salamander, but I waited too long and now only scalpers and Amazons in countries with exchange rates that are definitely not in my favour have it. I could get the TurboGrafx-16 mini from Amazon USA, though. Edited September 28, 2020 by Steven Pendleton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you go through the trouble of making a brand new game for old hardware and release it in such an asinine manner? Because Sega probably paid them to? That's often how these things typically work, heh. I do hope someone is able to get ahold of it somehow and dump it. The first two on Game Gear are pretty good.

It's only on the CoreGrafx mini and TG-16 mini. Salamander was the game they traded Tokimeki Memorial and Tengai Makyou II for on the TG-16 mini and the CoreGrafx mini.

Certainly not enough to warrant another $100 purchase. Just grab the Arcade Archives version (that comes with a variety of region options) on a modern system and call it a day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roots.genoa Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Or since you own a real PC Engine, you can buy the original game. I actually got Salamander, and probably didn't pay more than $25 for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How bad is the british conversion to yen? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07SLM7N9J £86.44 currently converts to 11706.74 yen Is that terrible? Currently in USD that's 111 I'm very tempted at that price to get that myself. It would nudge me over the top probably in just letting go of my CG2 and my hucards + everdrive all together. I'm finding, less is more as far as consoles/handhelds go anymore. Already offloading the modded duo, ps3 super slim, and a new 3dsxl too. But as roots there said, Salamander, at least HuCard alone, it's cheap. I'm kind of shocked I don't have it, thought I had picked it up but it's not in my small set of things.

roots.genoa Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 It's basically the same price in France ($110) but I remember it was even cheaper a few weeks after release... https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B07SV7H25L/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant Salamander near Arcade. I already have the Konami arcade collection thingy on the Switch, which is basically an Arcade Archives collection that's just Konami stuff, so at least I'm not missing much. I'd like to do it the "other" way and try the near Arcade version on my real PC Engine, though. 10 hours ago, Tanooki said: Since when?

Ideally, 1 pound = 100 yen. I'm getting a few conflicting conversion rates, but at 86 pounds, that's a little cheaper than the 99 pounds it was when I last checked a few weeks ago when 1 pound was 135 yen. If I wanted to, I can just go get the HuCARD tomorrow since I have been meaning to buy it and I want to go to Akiba anyway, although it's mostly to pick up a few 3000 yen Neo Geo games like Garou Densetsu 2/Special if I can find them.
