Hopefully it won't take five or six years between showing a prototype and production as it was with the Saturn Pro controller.

I don't know if it ever stopped. Seems like every other month there's a port or a homebrew that eventually goes retail.

The Atomiswave arcade ports are great.

Dreamcast Junkyard is the typical forum for all things that are "still thinking"

Short answer, absolutely not.

The Virtex Ultrascale+ FPGA boards are $10,000 AND UP.

If you look up why Mister will not move up to more powerful FPGA chips, this is why.

Would it be cool? Yes. Definitely.

Now imagine that, but on a keyboard. No mouse. That's pc controls for ZT

Extreme G 2 on pc loses the analog steering from N64, which turns out is a big deal. Throwback Entertainment made a port-of-a-port and introduced a speed hack in the launcher menu where you can slow down the game a bit, which helps, but doesn't fix the issue.

In some other cases like Hexen, there were alterations on console that I find generally more appealing, like an ost remaster or lighting effects.

The Genesis game Zero Tolerance and Dreamcast version of Expendable are games I prefer on console simply because of the control schemes on pc.

The Rez version is great, and this remix is even better.

This gets into the realm of licensed music, but it's made for the game, so I count it 😉

@TheAgeofSuperboredom:

Do you celebrate relentlessness?

Are you also better than the best, megalomanical, and harder than the rest?

 

pokes head out from behind a flood of posts

...is it....is it safe to come out now?

Anywho, Savaged Regime has been doing YM2612 arrangements for a whiles now, and has been tapped to do new Genesis games like this one and Astebros.

 

If you search "Godzilla NES remix" it's about impossible to find actual music and not creepypasta stuff.

 

I think this song benefits from having modern samples. Live instrument versions also generally sound good.

He's mostly known for his stuff while at Tri-Ace: Star Ocean and the like, but has also done a few sports games for Nintendo - namely Mario Golf and Tennis.

In so far as works outside of games, I think you pretty much got it. He has a rock album called Gikyokuonsou.

 

I need to actually finish this game. 😅

 

Apart from just a cool remix, it's a nice glitch demonstration / behind the scenes compilation.

Alternatively, a megamix of all this guy's MKII tracks are here. The channel is worth deep-diving, too. Lots of MK remixes.

Such a great ost overall, despite having a few artists involved.

I appreciate Mick's approach to legacy games. He shows lots of respect to the original tracks while adding his own touch.

 

In honor of Toriyama.

 

Too bad the game tried to push people toward a multiplayer that nobody wanted or liked to unlock single player content.

Dope orchestral soundtrack, though. Turns out blaring brass sounds good when you know what you're doing.

If someone told me you could finish that game by only sliding, I would believe them.

It was the era of the oontz, oontz, oontz beat, but no complaints here. The ost does its job.

Crafting / farm games don't usually have a reason to do much more than have chill bgm, but this is great

 

This roguelite Metroidvania surprised me with how well the randomized mechanics blended with exploration, and this track gives plenty of atmosphere to the third biome.

Terraport and Reclamation are my faves from each of these games. Good stuff

Bit Brigade just performed live in Louisville, KY recently. They played a double-header of Ninja Gaiden and Double Dragon. Great show.
