(Last one hit the bump limit: >>270105)

Virtua Fighter 6 on the horizon.
Tekken 8 season 2 just announced Fahkumram to the displeasure of everyone.
Street Fighter 6 added Elena and announced season 3, Ingrid is in.
Garou: City of the Wolves flopped and the CEO stepped down, they announced three seasons prior to release, so we will see if they continue or axe them.
Guilty Gear Strive... continues to exist, I suppose.

What are you playing? Looking forward to anything?

Wasn't there some Metal Slug SRPG that came out a while back?
Metal Slug 4 is still more of a game than City of the Mexicans.

I think tactics gameplay does work for Metal Slug, but they need to change the style completely and introduces many unique characters and classes, instead of just lazily copying the old games

Nah, Metal Slug 4 is just a rom hack, and a shitty one at that.
The only redeeming quality of that shit was the soundtrack which was actually very good, and wasted on such a shit entry.

>What the fuck is this?
XPiratez is a total conversion for X-COM about naked musclegirls, stealing shit, kidnapping people and getting dogs killed. Also liberating the world from the dead hand of the Star Gods, but details.
>What the FUCK is this?
It's effectively a whole new squad tactics game in the OpenXcom engine. Forget (almost) everything you know about X-COM because every mechanic has been upgraded, tweaked or replaced in some way. You're sleazy pirates who know almost nothing about the fucked-up world of XPiratez, so taking enemies alive is much more important, the tech tree is massive and damn near anything can and will show up at some point. Lordfag is frankly insane for doing this but godspeed. Screen sharing is handled with noVNC on a dedicated server and chat is a cytube room, so all you need is a relatively recent browser to get started. Just show up and you'll be assigned a gal/catgirl/peasant and maybe a dog or two to pilot.

Everyone else is also free to do the usual ad-hoc emulator netplay fuckaround threads have been known for.

A few months ago, I bought a Famitsu magazine from Nippon.
It came with so many goodies inside, including: A Lost Planet booklet guide, a DOAX2 calendar, an Idolmaster poster (with Makoto, my beloved tomboy), and a couple of Xbox 360 skins (I put the Onechanbara one on mine).
It was quite fun going through the hearty contents of the issue, specially considering these cost 350 yens or $3 in Japan.
Did you ever buy magazines with goodies growing up? I had a few, which usually came with demo discs, posters and stickers. I still have a Metal Slug poster, which came with one of them.
One I wish I had, is the PSM stickers for PS1. I love putting old videogame/anime stickers on my consoles, and these have great artwork.

Many times.
Some of the magazine i got (and still have, i think) had posters, memory card stickers, alternate cover to insert inside the games' case, and game guides booklets to place inside the game's case alongside the manual.
Then on course gaming magazing came also with CD/DVD with game previews and demos.

I miss those times :,(

Old thread is at the post limit and I feel like this is something the major boards should be made aware of. Esther M. Aronowitz is back. Apparently he's been attacking cakechan by posting gifs and videos on dead boards that have innocuous thumbnails which then turn into CP after a few frames. He gives the files couple hours to stew and then reports them to domain registrar or whatever else upstream he can find. You may want to prepare countermeasures in case he turns his attention here.

"30 year old hardware" is arguably more reliable than current year shit after you recap it. What you're really paying for with this is being able to have everything that matters EAX doesn't matter for DOS and Win9x gaming on one card with good quality, which is pretty much impossible with period-correct hardware. Normally you would need to pay out drug lord money for a GUS Extreme or get something like a Sound Blaster Pro2 (or clone) for PCM and FM synth and then pay out the ass for an Ultrasound for MIDI, maybe WSS/DirectSound and the three games that use the GUS as something other than a 16-bit DAC or MIDI player. Maybe pay out the ass again for a Yamaha/Dreamblaster MIDI synth if you don't like the MIDI output of the GUS. In either case you'll have some level of noise, probably from the Sound Blaster since their build quality was always dogshit. This card gets you a GUS Extreme with the best sound quality you can get out of PCBWay, plus enough sample RAM to get good MIDI playback from the GUS chip. Same idea with the Orpheus II, except that had a real OPL3 chip on it instead of a (good) clone of the OPL3.

You don't really need it, you can play games perfectly well with a Sound Blaster Pro clone that has decent audio quality and then pay out the ass for a wavetable card or PicoGUS if your autism demands it for DOS games. Hell if you only care abou

I totally get that, But at the same time you're not really making a good argument with the PSP. not only is the screen worse all the batteries you have are no name chink options and the controls are likely worn out just from age.
It would had been a better argument if you used an 3DS since it has actual functionality and people who are willing to pay  and keep that shit working without DIY shoving a smart phone battery into it.

Generally speaking, faster and lower latency RAM is better. However, going by the price to performance ratio, you're better off getting a higher end CPU before you invest in better memory. If you find a really good deal or your CPU is in the very high end range where the CPU price/perf is worse, better memory can make sense, but generally you're better off putting the money into a better CPU first.

Archive of previous thread: https://archive.ph/K9xml 

The purpose of this thread is to document and discuss Nintendo's recent actions towards censoring third-party games released on their platforms. As in, games that Nintendo has demanded that companies alter despite having no participation in any step regarding the game's development and release. This point on the subject needs to be emphasized because of two reasons.

The first is that people try to deflect such censorship practices for the purposes of so-called "regional differences", such as different regional laws and restrictions on game releases. This is not that issue as these are games that may have been released previously in the region sometime in the past decade or two, or the game is still being released unaltered on a competing platform like PlayStation or Xbox that still follows the same restrictions and/or even has their own. Second is that, despite censoring their own games, Nintendo actually has a history of leaving third-parties alone regarding what content is allowed to be inserted into their games, a topic I will be getting into in the following post. Regardless, if you JUST want a list of “all” instances of games being censored on the Nintendo Switch (And the upcoming Switch 2) regardless of reason, I suggest that you look at these two following links:
https://archive.ph/S0pfk
https://archive.ph/oaP9T

But why make this an issue? Back in 2019, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa made the following declaration in response to a question about restricting content present in video games released on Nintendo’s systems: https://archive.ph/RkxJm
>Q11: Regarding restrictions on expression. Some other platforms have their own restrictions other than third-party organizations such as CERO. How about Nintendo?
<A11: Nintendo entrusts a third-party organization with the task of providing objective ratings for its own products and third-party software prior to its release. If the platform operator arbitrarily chooses to do so, it would seriously impede the diversity and fairness of game software. The parental control function also allows for restrictions to be put in place.
In addition to this statement, Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser recently made the following statement less than a week ago: https://archive.ph/nrYHD
<We always want to attract the best talent we can and retain that talent. We also believe it’s important for that talent to be diverse in terms of their backgrounds, their experiences, and their understandings because our players are diverse. So we strive to have diversity that reflects our players in our organization.
In some ways, it mirrors a similar statement that Sony had made back in 2018 when they were in the middle of their own scandal for censoring games released on PlayStation: https://archive.ph/X2wGz
There are also indications that this is an official policy coming down from Nintendo proper in Japan, based both of the list that you’ll see below (That includes Japanese exclusives and Japanese versions games being effected) and other people researching into the matter confirming details with other industry insiders: https://archive.is/ApYH8#post-1477584

17 December 2022
<Video game producer Hannah Foell has announced that she now has a new position - Senior Manager of Partner Management at Nintendo of America. This means that she’ll be working with 3rd party developers to help build relationships and get more of their games on Nintendo platforms. Foell’s previous credits include working at Harmonix on Rock Band 4, and most recently at Santa Monica Studio where she produced God of War Ragnarök for Sony. Hopefully, she’ll be able to leverage her connections to strengthen Nintendo’s relationships with third party publishers and developers.

Instead of frowning at the future, How about we celebrate the past?
One of the best years in videogames turned 20 this year, and I figured, Why not make something special for it?
There's this video that compiles footage of multiple games from that era, but I think it could be improved upon.
For one, it's 16:9 instead of 4:3, and it's missing some games. It would also feel more special if it's homemade footage instead of existing walkthroughs.
So just grab Unregistered Hypercam 2, or better yet, record your CRT TV with a shitty camera while you're playing a 2004 game:

Here is the gameplay and title screen for Devil May Cry 3, one of my favorite games. Honestly speaking I have a hard time finding actual flaws in the game, its fun as hell, the art direction and graphical fidelity are very good, voice acting and music are top notch, the characters are all very well written where each has a distinctive role to play and throughout the story there is never a point where I wondered “Whats the point of including character X into the story?”, also pretty realistic character development.
Returning to it is always fun and I have been doing so for almost 17 years.
Big thanks to anyone who contributed to the thread, also looking forward to more montages and game footage.

DOMINOS, RISE OF THE PIZZAMAN MAN
It's so nice, they had it twice edition

Well what is this "Dominons" is it safe for my kids?
Fuck no, that little autistic faggot is going to be screaming about the overpowered jews from his bedroom at 3am.

Dominions is a fantasy turn-based strategy game created by two dudes. One of them is a teacher. 
The game combines a simple presentation with an extremely wide array of strategic options, including over 3400 units, 1100 spells and 400 magic items. Turns are resolved simultaneously,
It has simplistic graphics but is easily moddable and extremely deep.
Dominions is set in a fantasy world that draws inspiration from historical nations, cultures and myths. You will not encounter the elves of conventional fantasy in this game. Instead you might lead a nation of vanir from old norse myth. Aztecs, romans, israelites OY VEY!! , greeks, kievian rus and lovecraftian horrors are just a few of the inspirational sources of the game.

Basically, it's an autist’s wet dream of a strategy game.
