But as it was at the time, it really only serves as a tech demo with a collection of general platforming levels. I love it for how strange it looks, but if it was ever completed I feel like it would have ended up in a different direction by release.

Honestly, after playing the basic prototypes that have been uncovered, I feel like it could have been good if it were given a proper team and much more time. I think if they dropped or toned down the fisheye lense it could have had legs after some more cohesive direction.

Siege Sideswipe

Honestly, I'm not sure that it's just age. Looking at the Amazon listing, he was always that weird, yellowish ivory color.

I love when games do stuff like this. Reminds me of the DS where a bunch of titles have those initials in the title (Castlevania - Dawn of Sorrow for example).

"FIGHT!" 🥊

The prime candidate for my favourite NES game of all time.

I’ve made a feed for the #scanlinesunday and #randomgamesaturday hashtags if you just want to scroll thru some gaming goodness!

I believe it means they have a deal to produce the toys, but Disney needs to approve every step of the way, so the digital renders they showed here may get changes once they make test shots and Disney takes a look. If they don't like a face sculpt for example and Hasbro needs to adjust it a bit.

Always remember to take the SD card out BEFORE taking off the shell

Lol, the touch of Rouge sitting on the emerald behind Knuckles is amazing. Love this

Ah yes, Minecraft

I will say, Donkey Kong was the game that made my S2 purchase valid. MK was good, maybe better than MK 8 DX, but Donkey Kong really was something else.

You love to see it

Very nice! Love to see the CD-i at the bottom there. Do you mostly use an ODE with that or do you have a physical collection on hand?

Isn't it great when your brain picks such a niche thing to hyper fixate on that there's only like, two pieces of media out there?

Because they weren't sold, there's only one of the band in existence, and sadly they're in really bad shape these days. I think the owner is planning to restore them for a museum, but I have no clue when it'll happen. Fingers crossed they can play again someday. Did I mention I love their designs?

There is this recreation someone did if you want to see them in action! It's a pretty well done stand in for real footage, aside from the Bat and Rock creature not being in place (the bat was meant to take the place of the spider in the Rock-afire) youtu.be/k5BJFJyB4dI?...

I have yet to find a full video of their show, but some snippets do exist online. Below may be the best I've seen overall. Their main theme is so catchy, I love it! youtu.be/YxpXouiW9d0?...

They're just so unique to everything else, but sadly they were never picked up by anyone. I can't seem to find a video of a full performance, but their show tape has been preserved online. It's only two-ish songs, but they've got a great vibe to them! youtu.be/QZzkLISq8H8?...

Princess Haley as mentioned previously

Quasar the alien

Admiral Oort

Ozone the lizard alien

We've got Princess Haley on vocals, Quasar on laser guitar, Admiral Oort on keyboard, and Ozone on drums. They came from an underground city in the Moon to Earth so that they could get on MTV! Their designs have so much personality!

A photo of the Moonrockers on their stage. From left to right, the main animatronics are Ozone (a green lizard man playing the drums), Admiral Oort (an alien creature with white fur and grey-blue skin playing a keyboard), Quasar (a large-headed, blue skinned alien with white fur around his head and large blue ears), and Princess Haley (a cat or bat like alien with white fur, a silver and black outfit, and a cape). Above them is a small Moon Bat (essentially an eyeball with red wings) and below is a small rock creature in a moon crater.

Man, I was digging through YouTube late and found my new favorite thing lol. If you know the old Rock-afire Explosion animatronics, these are their cooler, space themed cousins, The Moonrockers! They were meant to be a retrofit for them and never actually sold, but these characters are awesome!

I feel like with the way that scene was cut, there was originally more to it. That cut to Mega Man and just lingering on him screams to me that they animated Roll actually landing a hit on that robot, but Standards said it was too violent to show a hit, even if there was no blood or whatever

Probably won't keep this in. It's kind of bad

Since this one isnt a limited time release, I'm just going to wait for it to go on sale or till I have some gift cards or something. Stinks that it's full price, but I'm glad it has two games, cause I could totally see them charging full price even if it only had Galaxy 2 lol

Congrats!

Oh man I would LOVE to see Tempest on the VB! The wireframe style with the 3D looking down the tubes would look so cool!

In Mario Kart World, NPCs will park their cars, exit them, and walk around. However, the game does not actually keep track who each car belongs to. As such, a different NPC than the owner may drive away with a car, seemingly stealing it.

What appears to be a missing part on Soundwave's left side in cassette player mode, exposing a recessed area with a screw for his leg joint. The right side appears to have a panel covering this spot.

Whoa, any idea what's happening here? Looks like a missing panel or something

Switch 2 has had a very strong opening for its own titles, but it's also nice that we hit another backwards compatible generation. Being able to keep playing the new titles for the previous console is a great way to fill any release gaps that end up in place.

As long as the cardboard version doesn't have any electronics inside, I'd assume the games would still play on a TV, just as two images, so TECHNICALLY they may just mean required if you don't want to stare at two of the game all the time
