I'M SORRY TRUE PLAN TO ERADICATE THE SAIYAN IS NOW ABANDONWARE AND YOU CAN JUST EMULATE THAT SHIT NOW

I'm starting a journey to collect every game for the obscure Canadian console known as the Gamewave. I have 5/13 with 2 more potentially on the way.

Why? Because I wanna make a video about it. I own 2 boxed consoles lol.

There's just 1 small roadblock:

The ultra rare Veggietales Mario Party game.

THE CELL GAMES HAVE STARTED IN MEET & FUCK ISLAND

If anything, emulation kept SNK's games from fading into obscurity. Entire generations of SNK fans probably never would've known what they were if they didn't live in an area with an old Neo Geo machine running a bootleg ass multicart, or if it weren't so easy to find and emulate their games online.

also overdid in the 90s in Japan), and their overreliance on the aging Neo Geo arcade hardware, which was like a decade old by the time SNK closed their doors. Bad business decisions and poor management killed SNK.

Emulation didn't kill SNK. If that were the case, Nintendo would also be dead. SNK was slow to adapt to the changes in the video game industry, between their failed Hyper NeoGeo 64 hardware, their failed home games attempts, their overinvestment in the arcade/indoor entertainment venture (which Sega

And a number of people who have the money to spend on a fun little expensive thing that you could otherwise get a similar experience out of for no money are more than willing to write it off as "well you can't change the world" because, oddly, they are already in a comfortable position in the world.

The problem with "vote with your wallet" is that this practice is predicated on requiring money to do so. And it turns out, in a "vote with your wallet" system, the people with the money get to vote, and the more money you have, the more value your vote has.

I went to an arcade back around 2004 that had a Neo Geo cabinet with SVC Chaos. In an area that had a couple of arcades miles apart from one another, I think this was the only one of that I saw.

I practiced up by playing that game on a laptop via Final Burn I think.

Maining Dan.

There are a ton of long time SNK fans that managed to get their classic SNK fix the old fashioned ways, such as "going to an arcade and hope they still got a working Neo Geo machine with probably a bootleg cartridge in it" or "play them on a emulator"

They've been doing that shit for decades.

Also, I say this as a former SNK mark, and I mean, as a MASSIVE SNK mark who almost got a NEO-GEO tattoo years ago:

If you were truly an oldschool SNK fan, you’d be disgusted with the direction of the company right now and you can still have some lingering nostalgia without giving them a cent.

We getting HawkTua in COTW yeeeeeeeeeee BOI 🤣

Shocking, the movies 'dont do new thing, only bring back old thing' is also fighting game dlc right now.

SF6 being oops all guests/old faves. zzz

CotW is zero original characters for dlc despite being a new 'era'. you snoze, you loze.

Strive the only one to mix in more newbies almost each season

The plan is that after this part in the comic there'll be one more before we move on to Track 2, which OH GOODIE

my demon character lefty!

NICE FUKCIN' WEBSITE

Yeah okay that makes sense, branching out and doing it yourself instead of relying on Bandai Namco to make all your licensed games seems like a reasonable step to tWHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY'RE -NOT- MAKING LICENSED GAMES, NEW IP ONLY????????????????????????????????

Mark when he returns to earth and Atom Eve has gained weight (he's into that)

Naw the Foxcade vid was good enough for me and I'm not supporting a poser

what if instead of "the author's barely disguised fetish" it was blatantly obvious but done in the most mundane way possible, like you got a 100-foot tall woman in the story but the focus is a complex legal battle about her struggle to get planning permission for a house her size and not much else

When I say gamers treat you not buying the entertainment products they like with the exact same degree of pain like you chopped off one of their fingers, this is what I mean.

170 for Jump Force I'd fucking rip the game from my library and give it to them in a heartbeat.
