lazy.

What is the other cunt, if you don't mind calling them out. Going around at a convention trying to strong arm / coax people into giving you free shit is pretty fucking pathetic.

since that person did in fact buy something, i'll never call them out by name.

Would you give me free stuff? I'm supa famous.

only if you feed it to your fish almburger style.

I am definitely serious. I don't hate youtube people or other people making and effort to contribute something meaningful to the snes or gaming. I love the snes. I am not expecting some godlike production from the smaller end, but it isn't like I'm dropping neo-geo prices. I have never backed any projects, but I see no reason to bad mouth other peoples efforts who share a passion. I could see being annoyed if we were dropping huge amounts of cash on these games, but it is a optional thing. The fact platformers can be made and released is cool in and of itself. It keeps the wheels turning on the snes and encourages other developers to give it a try. Eventually something great might come out down the road.

I can't imagine they make or even move tons of these things. Plenty of more lucrative and intelligent ways to pull profit then homebrew snes.
I am curious though of the totality of the profit margin, because when the gap is to big is when I lose interest. I don't specialize in coding though, so it may have more value to me in ignorance then those acquainted with it. My zone is electronics repair and tech stuff.

I love the SNES, but there are at least 100 games for it that I wouldn't play or are just plain terrible. Should I go back and praise those games now just because they are SNES games, and the SNES is a classic system now? I don't see why we should give special consideration for a game just because someone made it after the system's prime. I thought Pier Solar got significantly more attention because of the way they marketed it as a new Genesis game. The game is one of the worst I've ever played. Yes, I played it through to the end, and did as much side content as I could. It's abysmal. I would rather support a game like Shovel Knight which is very well designed, even though it's not released on a retro system. These guys could just launch Justice Beaver as a XBL or PSN game. By making SNES carts and slapping the Acclaim name on it, they're spending extra time trying to appeal to retro gamers when they should just be trying to make a cool game with the best tools that are available in 2015.

This looks like it could be cool, but yeah I would want to wait until they actually have finished copies out and people can review them.

There's that Chinese Genesis Beat'em up game that piko bought the rights to and re-released recently which has gotten decent reviews at least. I may throw down on that as it actually looks pretty good.

 

[Poonman]

So is it really named justice beaver because of its similarity to Justin Bieber?

How is that fag retro in any way? Suck my cock, you shitty game.

 

[Pasky]

Maybe I'm just getting old, or too cynical or something, but I really don't care about this.

This strikes me as a game that I would have completely ignored back when the SNES was current and the only reason it's getting attention now is because the SNES is dead and it's 2015.

This is basically how I feel about it.

Good points. While I think old school style games are cool, I'm beginning to see how many of the more recent homebrews are just playing on the retro collectard mania that has become trendy.

Shovel Knight and Volgarr the Viking are awesome "retro" style games, that don't need to put on limited edition carts or invoke a classic game system for cred. They stand on their own merits.

 

[TheBigBB]

I should add that I have no idea whether Justice Beaver is actually a bad game. I'm just really skeptical about the intentions of making new games for these old systems. I hope the game turns out to be awesome, at least for the sake of that guy who dropped $1000 on it.

 

[LoneSage]

Doesn't look like an SNES game from 1993 at ALL.

Looks more like a PC game from 1993.

 

[mehguy]

Looks ok, but nothing special. It honestly looks like a crummy flash game from 2006.

 

[kuze]

Even the developers must think the game is terrible.

I was thinking the same thing. Amiga springs to mind.

I should incidentally note that Volgarr was actually ported to the Dreamcast by some fans and is freely distributed:
