    Whelp, backed with the $75 tier. I will be a tad bit sad if they don't include the crazy ads back then.

    Hahah, I was gonna post it in the chatbox first, but I figured maybe other members who don't check there might not see it.

    ...which has Phillyman as a guest! My apologies if this has been posted before (I just did a quick scan), but I thought this was interesting. At least now we get to hear how Phillyman sounds like. https://gamehistory.org/ep-63-magazine-preservation/

    I'm hoping that as the whole pandemic thing blows over (like, completely gone), retro game prices would go back to what it was before 2020. I still want to get a legit copy of all the Suikodens, the Xenosaga series, and Persona. Thankfully, I managed to find a (relatively) non-inflated copy of Persona Q2 New Cinema Labyrinth Edition. It's currently at around $200 right now.

    The Switch Pro... - - - - IF NINTENDO HAD RELEASED IT!

    I know you said TV shows but I still can't forget how Charlie's Angels had those kids playing FFVIII on a PS1. They're playing as if the game had two players.

    The NES Classic was really nothing more than a holiday item, hence why supplies were limited. As for the Switch, can you really blame them after the fiasco that was the Wii U? Nintendo is a very conservative company, and this works for and against them. Their original projections for the Switch was around 8 million for the whole year; when the success caught them off-guard, they said they would increase the supply to 13 million. The problem is that the Switch is also using components used in the newest iPhone so they are competing with Apple for hardware components in this regard. And no one can really hope to compete with Apple in this day and age.

    Well, it's not like it's without precedent. If PS5 and Nextbox will launch in 2020 (three years from now), that'd be just like how the TG-16 came into the scene during the midpoint of the 8-bit era, with SNES coming in 3 years later.

    Capcom made BoF 6. Unfortunately, they made it into an F2P online browser-based game, for some reason. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breath_of_Fire_6 They will be closing it down soon.

    Suikoden, definitely. But seeing how Konami is nowadays, that's probably a monkey's paw waiting to happen. And I'm on the topic of RPGs, I hate what Capcom has done with the Breath of Fire franchise. Whenever I want a new Suikoden, I look at BoF and say, "That could've been Suikoden, so maybe we'll just leave it at V".

    I understand why you would put Switch as a handheld device, but Nintendo themselves have said that the Switch is a successor to the Wii U, and hence the first hardware for the 9th generation of consoles. Whether or not there will be a successor to the 3DS remains to be seen but the Switch is definitely a 9th-gen console that has portable capabilities.

    Man, that has got to be a bitch to move!

    I'm having fun with it. But then again, I'm someone who have been playing since 1986 or so, so graphics really do not bother me much.

    Legend of Dragoon and Valkyria Chronicles. Working through my backlog.

    Oh yeah, aside from the weight, suing the SP3 and Cover app to read scans is perfect.

    I've decided to just go with a Surface Pro 3. Will be picking it up later; hopefully, I won't have to use any apps to read scans and CDisplay will be enough. I hear the free version of the Cover app is limited.

    IPAD Pro

    Jie replied to Sean697's topic in Off Topic

    Yeah, I'll most probably be using CDisplay. So it's perfectly okay with that? No squinting or anything?

    Has anyone tried a Surface Pro 2 to read the scans? It has a 10.6" screen, with 16:9 ratio. I'm thinking of getting one since someone here is selling it for cheap.

    As someone who is very much afraid of heights...UNLIKE!

    PDF files are a bit too unwieldy when reading. And, as others mentioned, they take way too much time in the conversion. I am using CDisplay to read .cbr files and a simple Page Up and Page Down takes me to one page, instead of having to resize and scroll in Reader.

    Just thought I'd say that I appreciate both you guys' work on this. I know it must be infuriating when some people ask what's the hold up in a demanding tone, but I'm glad you guys aren't like others who snap at them.

    Most posters that I got from the old GamePro and EGM are also hella huge. Dunno if there are scanners out there that can scan them, so maybe that's the reason why you don't really see much scanned posters out there.

    The industry as it is now is already too big to sotally crash. It wasn't like before when there was too many consoles and too many mediocre games among too little consumers. What I think will crash however is the whole AAA games concept. Publishers will realize that soon, the expense of making a AAA game will be too much for a game to fail so they'll settle for safe bets which, in turn, will turn off the gamers. Indie or mid-tier games will flourish.
