    Mall Brawl NES - Limited Run Support

    in General Collecting Discussion

    Posted

    I also received a faulty game. I've been so excited and waited so long for this game, it's heartbreaking. I lost my smile.

    I suspect that LRG is looking to explore new forms of income as Homebrews since games are clearly deadheading towards digital only.

    It's extremely disappointing that this game was advertised nearly finished and could be preordered a year ago and customers were largely left in the dark about this game only to receive a none functioning product nearly a year later. It is unacceptable for a multi million dollar company to do this. I get that they might be new to the homebrew scene but... if a single person in there moms basement can produce a fully functioning homebrew game, provide scene shots updates on twitter, create a kickstarter and produce a game from nothing for NES fans to play. There is no reason a company with all the resources can't.

    Hopefully LRG makes this right for everyone. To hear that people here are getting nickle and dimed over what version of the NES they are playing it on is BS.

    Retro Gaming Youtubers...Good or Bad for the Hobby?

    in General Collecting Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Ted Playa

    What else would a retro gamer watch on YouTube other then retro gaming related videos?

    I think YouTube can be a great and entertaining source for information which is a good thing for any hobby or interest. The one thing that does erk me a bit is the overwhelming amount of new commers to retro gaming and collect who instantly start making videos with little background experience with subjects. I'm also not a fan of pick ups, unboxing, trash talking other content creators and drama, basic single game reviews with wiki info and no opinion and reaction videos. For the most part those style of videos generally lack passion and effort. Which has oversaturated the scene, however I'm still open to them, because there are folks that find ways to make anything entertaining and/ or informative. 

     

    In terms of the increase in interest and price inflation over the past 15 years, YouTube may have contributed to this but other forms of social media would have also contributed to this. If it wasn't YouTube folks blame it would have been Instagram or Facebook or Twitter or Twitch or Nintendo Age or Go Collect or whatever.
