I ended up playing Gun Bird and Ikaruga on the Switch.

It looks like the price and release leaked by way of official press release in Japan. This little neo geo is going to cost $100 and release on July 24th. My Birthday. So there are some differences in Japanese release versus international in the games list. This thing looks fun. I can see having this on my desk and playing on my breaks. Anyone see this and think about picking one up? I know some have the real deal an someday I will to. but this seems convenient and fun. https://www.snk-corp.co.jp/press/2018/062201/ https://www.destructoid.com/neo-geo-mini-reveals-price-and-japanese-release-date-509400.phtml

I have a LG C7P65 it has been great. The display lag for my retro consoles is only 2 frames.

Thats to bad I like the game. I waited and picked up a physical copy.

I think there is a flash cartridge for it. So you can play other games and homebrew.

I'm in. I dug mine up.

I would rather no one buy them. I mean we are talking about One less Major Studio. There is Warner Bors, Columbia, Disney, Paramount, Universal and Fox are the big ones. Either Fox merges into Universal or Disney. I selfishly would only want Disney to get it for the marvel movies.

I'm not sure why the price is a big concern. it is $9 a month. You can just buy one month at a time. That is cheaper than a single movie ticket here. I'm buying one next month.

It could be good. I will watch like I have all the others.

I am thinking about picking up a Neo Geo game on the Switch this weekend. I'm thinking of getting a NEo Geo Shooter any sugestions? Looking at Blazing Star or Pulse Star.

I never put much stock in Microsoft adding VR support to the Xbox One. I mean they never really came out and demonstrated it. It was more like a promise of it coming with no real details. PSVR is good and the next step up would be PC. It is nice that there are VR games on all the VR platforms. They keep coming out and are fun. I'm behind on the VR games that are out already.

Jaws 10/10 Yesterday was the movie's 43rd Anniversery so I rewatched it. Such a great movie. It really stands the test of time. Sure the shark looks fake . It looked fake when it came out but you really can look past that and the fact they couldn't get the shark to work so they used barrels and the camera it works so well.

https://moviepass.com Has anyone here used Movie Pass. I have a co worker that has and it seems to be accepted to nearly all the theaters here in Austin. Seems like a good deal even if you only see 2 movies that month.

It is good to have the boards back. It is also good to see the people come back.

I still need to play the last one. I really wish the VR version was bundled with the regular version.

I kid I know some decided not to watch Solo at all but I also think some big time fans might have only watched it once.

I have been playing my Turbo Express and I plan to play it more this weekeend and Bloodstained on the Switch.

Thanks JVC for being the first to derail a thread. jk but anyway. This is part vaporware for me. It seems cool until you have all the modules in a pile next to it. Seems expensive. The main interest is the CD games interest. It is all emulation and because of that there are easier ways to emulate games. Also The Atari VGS I think is a total scam. They got nothing but promises and still no working prototype. That is why they chose indegogo. Because they don't require a prototype and the person can keep the money either way. $300 box to play atari 2600 games and a promise of other games that the developers have not agreed or seen the development kits. All the game footage is simulated and not really running on the hardware.

I know the fans wanted Kathleen Kennedy gone from Lucas so they boycotted Solo by only seeing it once. Looks like they chose to view it as Star Wars Fatigue. I guess they will get the picture after the next star wars.

For me it was Devolver's presentation that won it for me. Games wise I'm very happy to see Resident Evil 2 remake. Cyberpunk looks cool for 2020. Last of Us part 2, Spiderman the Sucker Punch game also look cool.

http://eiti.fh-pforzheim.de/personen/johannsen/projektlabor/vectrex_2018/vectrex_project_2018.htm This is crazy. I kind of want a Vectrex but I'm not convinced I will play it much. Cool course to take and will lead to some new homebrew games. I think their is a flash cart for this system.

Looks like Obi Wan got put on hold.

Pickup any new retro games? Any cool trades or finds? I will update with my recent pickups. I am used to seeing what I posted last to figure out where I left off.

Hey What retro games are you playing. I have been playing my Turbo Express. I played Batman, Soldier Blade and a few others last night. I have been playing Bloodstained on the PS4 and some Switch lately as well. I know it is not vintage but it is retro.

Here is the redux of the longtime running thread of share of retro game collection and setup.
