What do you guys think of the Retro VGS?

Weird. Most things today are going for this ALL ONLINE ALL THE TIME PRAISE THE CLOUD WE DON'T NEED NO PHYSICAL MEDIA thing and this is doing the opposite. Might be useful for those in the military or in rural communities.

1, fuck you for linking that shill's video.
2, great shilling

1) That's a Jaguar case
2) That's a 3rd party Wii controller
3) I don't know what that gameplay is but it's pretty shit

This is probably an April Fools joke.

>> No.2333458

Sounds great.

I'd love to pay 79.99 for a 20 dollar steam game just because its on some shitty cart system.

>> No.2333463

Did I point out that Jaguar casing is clearly empty? It doesn't even have a power button in its hole.

>> No.2333473

>>2333423
I think the machine they used for making those shells was sold on ebay at one point, so someone could potentially make a new console using the Jaguar design (well, it would be simpler than making an entirely new case from scratch).

If not a new console, then some sort of mini-pc emulation machine.

Since the jaguar is not copyrighted any more, anyone can do anything with it

I don't know about ebay, but I know the Jaguar plastic mold was reused for some dental equipment. Someone posted some pictures here last month of it.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that spotted these right away. And its not even the complete jaguar case, it's just the top shell that got re-purposed into dental x-ray equipment.

Is that a dental imaging device?

Just what I wanted, a dedicated shit-tier flash game console.

And what's with the personal trainer? Shouldn't he be reviewing gym equipment and supplements?

I would prefer if they used a different shell and also integrate the Tegra X1 in it.

It doesn't need one since there's no cartridge slot to cover, and likely no PCB or any internal components at all from what we can see.

>3rd Party Wii Controller

Actually, Wii U, but the console has USB ports. There isn't a set 1st party controller yet. It looks like they're considering putting in two old 9-pins so you could use like old joysticks/the genesis controller and the like.

>> No.2333660

Seems unrealistic. What IP's are they going to revive, and how are they getting around the copyrights needed to do so? I love Gamester81 but sometimes it feels like he just talks a lot of shit. This is one of those times. This seems like much ado over nothing.

>> No.2333661

>>2333371
As a dev who wishes they could make cart games (cause I'm a le-retro-hipster-indie-fuck) this interests me. Does anyone know how one would get involved in developing for this? will it be just like the ouya or will it be like the early days of getting a game published?

>> No.2333662

>>2333660

And furthermore, what's going to keep this system from just being another Retron 5 (or similar)?

>> No.2333663

>>2333371
was talking about this on another forum and someone brought up a good point - why the fuck would you release a new "retro" console when we have tons of retro consoles that already have a massive userbase and development tools? This is stupid

>> No.2333665

>>2333661
Also, that game they showed is fucking garbage... If that's there pack-in I need to get going stat, cause I could make something better than that with 48 hours and 12 cups of coffee

>> No.2333670

>>2333663
Honestly, if someone made something to run off SD cards and was made to be a 2d monster I might be interested.
Something that didn't emulate but instead ported games to it.

But that demo game looked like a flash game. Don't see the point.

>> No.2333686

Niche market, it won't sell much and the Jaguar shell is a redundant deterrent.

>anyone can do anything with it

yeah but why would you want too?

>> No.2333740

>>2333714
It's easy. They could just use the mold without making their own. And this is basically a small time little amateur project, I'm guessing they acknowledge that whatever they'd design themselves would probably be far uglier.

>> No.2333743

>>2333670
Well minus SDK carts. That seems to be the point. Though yeah, I'd very much think SD cards would be a far better choice then some kind of unique cart for this system. That'd make it far easier and cheaper to make games for. Plus, it'd bring to mind the Turb Grafx/PC Engine cards.

>looked like a flash game
>and instead just port games to it

Suprise, suprise. To make something easy to port indie retro style games to, things flash, java etc. would be very helpful file types to be able to use.
