Gley Lancer re-release in June...

Niko · Apr 15, 2019

There is no difference between buying a reproduction of a game, buying a flashcart or buying a recreation of a retro system. They're all "unlicensed" and "unofficial", and they can all be made cheaply and out of spec.

Let's not bash a product we havent seen, or the people interested in them.

Ok Niko, fair point

This made me LOL:

Note:
- This is not a licensed product of Sega.
- Operation with genuine Mega Drive may not work normally.
- Operation with other Mega Drive compatible system is not guaranteed and sound quality may be different from genuine MD.

WTF?

GohanX · Apr 15, 2019

So... it may not work correctly with a real system. It may not work correctly with a fake system. What is it designed to work with, a Mega Jet?

It's just a pretty bootleg, as you said.

I actually think it's pretty ugly.

Stick to it and believe in your power

Now that preorder is sold out :eek_2:

I wasn't sure i was gonna bother either way.Beside what pa state,this reprint may not work on every model for the megadrive regardless.I wasn't willing to take the gamble and buy it for that reason alone.I still have a reproduction of gleylanceer so i'm good.

It's still a bootleg if you ask me. Tobias might as well be making these....
I don't understand the appeal of these "re-releases".
So this is officially Masaya/ncs licensed?

Hattori Hanzo · Apr 16, 2019

It's not a bootleg because it's licensed by Columbus Circle. The Masaya Games rights are owned by Extreme Co., Ltd.
Even the cover art is made by the original creator.

It's a bootleg. It's not licensed by Sega. It might as well come in a Tengen cartridge case.

Hattori Hanzo · Apr 16, 2019

None of the new releases on old hardware is licensed by Sega, Nintendo or SNK for example. With your logic Kraut Buster would also be a bootleg.

Kraut Buster is a bootleg.

Go tell Bitmap Bureau they are creating a bootleg with Xeno Crisis.

I don't care about the legality of it or anything like that, but let's call a spade a spade.

These repro carts are like burnt ISOs that have been licensed by the original game's IP holder, but not the publishing platform or the creator of the medium. Sure, the cartridge manufacturer has the blessing of IP holder of the game, but they don't have the blessing of the owner of the format or console manufacturer.

Hattori Hanzo · Apr 16, 2019

Why should I care if Sega licensed it, when Sega doesn't care. I'm fine with new or rereleased games on old systems.
When you buy a used copy of any game, the developer or publisher earns nothing at all.

Why not just buy this then? You'll save some money. A boot is a boot.

Apparently you don't care. I don't understand why someone would spend money on a bootleg like this. I somewhat understand bootlegs like the NG Dev Team or the new games on old hardware that have been trendy over the past few years. I fully understand the chiptune comps that come on carts. Knock yourself out and spend money on bootlegs. I couldn't care less. But don't kid yourself.

That's a completely different situation and argument. You're only proving that you have no idea what you're talking about.

Hattori Hanzo · Apr 16, 2019

I own a ali repro and I actually played it today. Already told it but I regretted it when I sold the original version more than 10 years ago.

Bought the reprint to ease my pain because I'm not willing to spent the Ferengi prices nowadays. ^^

You buy the reprint = Extreme Co., Ltd. gets money as rights owner
You buy a used original release = Extreme Co., Ltd. gets no money

You're dense. You should be friends with HDR.

Pretty good argument[/s] This conversation was running in circles anyway.

This is the worst way to express yourself.

It exposes your character to the depth of something frailer then the stick figures you've posted.

People have the right to criticize ok?

It's not about some whack mame or whatever.
