Well Sonic Mania was more like okay well fine decent average mediocre cash for Sega still too far from perfection. Definitely unfortunately speaking not perfect more like imperfect. Honestly speaking.

Or I could as well prevent even Sega/Mega CD,Sega 32X,Sega Dreamcast Eras as well.
Sega's thinking after the Genesis was so "cart-before-the-horse." Without getting into the Sega CD, 32X, or Saturn, the Dreamcast seemed like a return to form. A fully-3D Sonic game, state of the art graphics, good word of mouth, the Dreamcast was on decent footing. Was it the PS2 sporting DVD playback and tons of third party support? Was it the upcoming Xbox, which would have split the market in four directions? Were the sales not hitting targets? I'll always wonder.

Even the Xbox 360 was considered behind the times compared to the PS3's blu-ray capabilities, but the 360 did very well that generation. I still wonder what would have happened if Sega stepped up their game and continued to compete.

I wonder what would it be if Sega could be still first party company? Instead of Sonic X,Sonic Boom,Sonic Prime average mediocre TV cartoons maybe there could be something like Pokémon ? Maybe something like Digimon or something else before Palworld was made. Maybe something like F-Zero anime. I guess that maybe Phantasy Star would be EarthBound alternative. Who knows one thing is for sure maybe Ristar could be alternative of Kirby. Ristar didn’t have potential for anime likewise Kirby. Landstalker never had a TV cartoon. Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog wasn’t looking like talk show like in case of Super Mario Bros. Super Show. Sega never made even Captain S TV Cartoon. I bet that Landstalker would still compete with The Legend of Zelda.

    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
