B-Side Games: https://b-sidegames.stores.jp/ ->Sounds like they just put "packages" together and are not a game publisher. Don't feel they're appropriate for this list.

I told them before the "relaunch" that their model wasn't going to work and even now I still don't think it will work. Doesn't help that the tins are a dumb idea on top of the bad business model. Making not-limited games with all the frustrations of a limited run publisher is just... Worst part is Rolling Gunner is a game I really want and if it never happens I think it will mean the game doesn't get a physical release at all.

avatar! | 1,819 Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 So Retro City Rampage was released back in 2012. It was an indie hit for sure. Then, 7 years later they released what is more or less the same game, Shakedown: Hawaii. Is Vblank like a one-man studio? Because, they really aren't doing much of anything. If this is just a "hobby" or "project" for someone, that's pretty cool. Otherwise, meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is just a "hobby" or "project" for someone, that's pretty cool. Otherwise, meh. Yes Vblank is a one man studio. The guy (Brian) started working on RCR back in 2002! when it started as a demake of GTA for the NES. He even made his own tools to develop it for the NES hardware. He eventually bought along someone else to do art and then hired composers for the music but it's basically his thing. I remember hearing about it back in the day because he had hired Jake Kaufman to do some of the music for it so it got some attention in the chiptune scene. I think I may even have a promotional copy of the original soundtrack somewhere in my CD collection... It's definitely a hobby / labor of love. If Brian has programmed all the ports then with the Wii U he will have ported RCR or SH to 14 different platforms. That's pretty crazy. I'm guessing the hype over the Switch release and selling it as a limited print game multiple times has made him enough money to keep working on it.

I assume he has a "regular" job and this is just fun. Most of us would love to make a game someday, so I can definitely appreciate that and understand why Vblank hasn't really released other games.

asmikace | 68 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I am interested in them printing games for my favorite obsurce console, the Sega CD. I already have an original box copy of Monkey Island but if they can make a copy Space Adventure Cobra or Keio I could pay the money for it.

Don't feel they're appropriate for this list. Their site is somewhat confusing - some of their stuff seems to exclusive while some of it is not (it states that in the description) - hard to tell for sure since they don't have many offerings. I was looking for a copy of Kamiko - they seem to be the only ones making it - unfortunately they won't ship overseas because of mail service disruption. (I am still waiting on a copy of ittle dew from another source in Japan.) Edited July 1, 2020 by Tabonga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICrappedMyPants | 302 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) I like that the Castlevania collection getting a physical release is nice. I would buy the Contra collection too. Can someone please bring the old TMNT beat ‘em ups to Switch? How about a revival like SoR4? I hate what Konami has become.
