07.02.2026 19:41 โ ๐ 36 ๐ 14 ๐ฌ 3 ๐ 0I've played FGs since before SF2 & couldn't tell you a single frame number in any game though. That's some internet era / Jp VF2 player only nonsense
07.02.2026 19:15 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I guess some of it's a bit like shmup routing? Left side enemies in an area are worth 10pts each, right side ones are 100pts each. So you'll always go right
If your good frame data moves are like high value moves, you'll probably aim to utalise them more, as they have a better chance of working?
my hot take is that save states are only good for a quick short term gain. If I see someone grind out a tough save state only to them see them find they can no longer do the 'easy' bits, so they've forgotten the hard bit by the time they've relearnt the earlier stuff, idk
Use them much later
Not sure I'd call Castle of Dragon a beat em up but it's definitely an idiot game & can definitely be 1cc'd in 5mins
No matter how hard something might be (& CoD isn't too bad), 5mins definitely puts anything into achievable territory with a bit of grinding
there's a reason every Capcom st.2 beat em up boss is designed to fuck you up. Normies will pay a bunch to credit feed through & 'good' players will have spent a bunch to get good beforehand
Piss easy games like Double Dragon & Golden Axe still made a fortune but later games had to up things a lot
'the world's 1st fake Toyota from China'
a phrase that implies you've never seen a Chinese car in China in the past several decades๐ค

The S-Tribute2 - Super NES releases will be the Super ones. It'll be Super NES games that also had NES ports. They'll only be the NES ports but they will be Super, hence the name. The SNES console games will be on a different label called Genesis
06.02.2026 11:59 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 1I'm fine with them if it doesn't interfere with my comfy 1 arcade game per week schedule
As for interest, I guess that'll just boil down to what they release & how. I'd still sooner have the EGG stuff on PSN but we'll just have to see what turns up in the future
any game with a Saturn port will be on a separate S-Tribute label but the game will be the arcade version. The S stands for Special. There will be Special Editions of the Special games but only for different consoles from the main release. The Special Editions will contain the Saturn ports
shoot me
Me when the later, altered rereleased console ports of existing console ports of arcade games begin to appear under the name

There is no online but the game can be bought online. VS is challenging local scores๐
positive reinforcement to help people avoid wasting money by credit feeding just to see a 1min stage instead of a 5min game. Taito want you to have good value for your credit
06.02.2026 10:52 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Taito were nice like that. None of this 'whoops, you made a mistake ages ago, ending is now secretly impossible to reach' nonsense

there was like 3 people that 1CC'd this for the Caravan out of hundreds. It's harder than OutRun but also 100% fair. Cross a checkpoint & your timer becomes a flat 60 seconds, so it's always possible to clear the stage๐
I pray Hamster announce Console Archives 2 which will be for PS4 & Switch. Console ports of arcade games will be on Console Arcade Archives 1 for Xbox S, SW2 & PS4 and Console Arcade Archives 2 for other systems, unless it's a Western game, then they swap numbers
They all release on different days

seeming the DL Code version of Doraemon will be for the Switch 1, whilst the Console Archives version will be the previously announced Switch 2 / PS5 versions. The article basically says as much but this is the 1st mention of anything from the series for old systems๐ตโ๐ซ
See reply for the info
interesting
06.02.2026 04:49 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0yeah, the dl ver info at the bottom of the page says Switch 2 & PS5 only but the PR text for the code only mentions Switch. I'd guess the PR info is wrong & it should say Switch 2 but idk
I hope they do console ports of arcade games on Console Arcade Archives 1, 2 & 3 soon, just to clarify things๐คฆโโ๏ธ
my interest in Doraemon is about zero but I'll share this one seeing as I made an arse of my original post & may have gotten a Doraemon fans hopes up for it releasing today. I am nice like this, sometimes๐ค

Console Archives Doraemon will be out on July 30th but you can get it early on June 25th if you buy the Ltd Edition celebrating the game's 40th Anniversary & 1st ever home port. DL code with fancy packaging, manual & an expanded upon reprint of the original guidebook
I don't think they've done any Konami ones but tbh, anything seems possible these days, so who knows
06.02.2026 03:29 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0No such thing as a bad RR OST. PSP RR secretly the best just for having pretty much every previous OST + remixes on there
The actual best OST is w/e one you're hearing at that given moment

Worst case scenario, the Jp Amazon links are on Hamster's website but you need to be logged into an Amazon a/c with a Jp street address to view / buy them
The T-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-Turbo Force car on a t-shirt, which you can officially buy in 2026
Rave Racer & Console Archives are all well & good for normal people but what about the sickos. The real freaks. Have Hamster forgotten them?
In unrelated news, you can now buy official Turbo Force clothing
