Re: Aleste is coming back?!
I bought my collector from Hobby Genki here https://hobby-genki.com/fr/playstation- ... ition.html, last time i bought with nin nin games and had a terrible customer service experience.
Pretty happy with this collector, my wallet less, but well feels good to be back in shmup communauty.

Re: Aleste is coming back?!
Are you just a shill for that company or something? All but one of your posts is about your preference of hobby genki over nin nin games.

Re: Aleste is coming back?!
Nin-nin-game's customer service is pretty awful. I've ordered from them several times, and paid $20 for 2-day shipping on each order. They say on the site that you should expect 5 business days of processing time, but every single time I've ordered from them, it's gone into 6, 7, or 8 business days before they ship my product. Each time I've had to message them to ask what's up, and each time they offer some excuse and then ship it the next day. It's super frustrating when you place an order well above $150 and they can't be bothered to get it in the mail for over a full week.

Re: Aleste is coming back?!
I'm generally looking forward to the collection. GG Aleste 1 and 2 were great main draws, but GG Aleste 3 was very unexpected and it could be great.
Also that GG Micro. I'm a sucker for things like that.

Re: Aleste is coming back?!
Footage of GG Aleste 3 played on original Game Gear.
Not that there's much to look at on the glare blurry GG screen, just cool that they're playing it on an original GG.

Re: Aleste is coming back?!
So is GG Aleste 3 actually going to be released for the Game Gear or not? At this point I don't really care about the collections.

I imagine if cotton can be released on X68k in today's day and age, a real GG release wouldn't even be that big a stretch.pegboy wrote:So is GG Aleste 3 actually going to be released for the Game Gear or not? At this point I don't really care about the collections.
Collections like these are still excellent and probably better for visibility and streaming tho. Easier.
Re: Aleste is coming back?!
I'm gonna bet it does get made, but it'll be something stupid like a Sega Store exclusive. They'll make a tiny print run, and it'll be $400 on ebay before the year is out.

In that video, "Cartridge not for sale" is what's written on the label they stuck on the Game Gear. Not sure if that means just that cartridge, but that would be weird.pegboy wrote:So is GG Aleste 3 actually going to be released for the Game Gear or not?

Re: Aleste is coming back?!
Since I already own all 4 of the original versions of those games I don't really care anymore about this collection. Originally I wanted to support the developers but as soon as this tuned into the typical scalper bullshit I'm out. If they end up releasing GG Aleste 3 on a real cart I might buy that, but other than that I'm done with these guys.StudioMudprints wrote:I imagine if cotton can be released on X68k in today's day and age, a real GG release wouldn't even be that big a stretch.pegboy wrote:So is GG Aleste 3 actually going to be released for the Game Gear or not?

Re: Aleste is coming back?!
Super hyped for GG Aleste 3.
Re: Aleste is coming back?!
I had lots of fun playing Super Aleste / Space Megaforce on the SNES, especially playing on the Wild difficulty. Sadly, it won't be included in the Aleste Collection.Sengoku Strider wrote:Thanks, that's much better:

Re: Aleste is coming back?!
So the news on GG Aleste 3 was just showing off the game on an actual Game Gear?
Re: Aleste is coming back?!
Still no news regarding if the games include M2 Gadgets like the previous releases?

Re: Aleste is coming back?!
They updated MS Aleste but skipped MSX Aleste. Why???
Re: Aleste is coming back?!
You'll notice they are all originally Sega published Aleste games in this collection.SuperDeadite wrote:They updated MS Aleste but skipped MSX Aleste. Why???
The other Aleste games had an array of publishers. Do they still control the rights?? I don't know. It seems pretty obvious why this collection only has the Sega published games.
Re: Aleste is coming back?!
Doesn't D4 still own the MSX games or whatever? I know they're on Project EGG

Re: Aleste is coming back?!
Wait, so Manubu Namiki is directing the new game and doing sound? Damn, now I might have to buy this.
Only M2 would make a new GG game in 2020 just for this collection. It's total madness, but I like it.

Re: Aleste is coming back?!
Also, I wonder how the porting works. Do they program the game for the Game Gear hardware first since it can run on that, then run it on the collection via the same emulator as the other GG games?
I really dig that they are going with an authentic approach and seeing how much they can pull out of the original hardware instead of going for an enhanced retro look like Shovel Knight and so many others.

Re: Aleste is coming back?!
That's most likely. Apart from the VDP, Master System and GG are basically the same hardware, so it makes sense that all titles included in the collection run on either one or the other, so they can use the same emulator for all of them.Rastan78 wrote:Also, I wonder how the porting works.

Re: Aleste is coming back?!
They have a really good track record of master system emulation, so I'm sure that aspect will be spot on.

It shouldn't be super tough. I don't think there's a more used, cloned or well-explored processor in the history of Japan than the Z-80. In some form or another it made its way into most 8 & 16-bit Japanese PCs, all of Sega's consoles until the Saturn, the Gameboy, Neo Geo, Neo Geo Pocket, tons of arcade boards, the list goes on & on.Rastan78 wrote:They have a really good track record of master system emulation, so I'm sure that aspect will be spot on.
Re: Aleste is coming back?!
I remember hearing their recent Phantasy Star conversion for switch had some weird audio popping on the PSG music. But thats about it. I never noticed it on my own.

Re: Aleste is coming back?!
There's something weird about Phantasy Star, it famously didn't work with the Power Base or Master Gear converter for some reason. I forget, but it might have been the only game that didn't.Rastan78 wrote:I remember hearing their recent Phantasy Star conversion for switch had some weird audio popping on the PSG music.

Re: Aleste is coming back?!
I had no problems playing the US cart of Phantasy Star on a model 1 Genesis with the Power Base converter. The game even had its own cart for the JP Megadrive, that is nothing but the SMS game in a Genesis cart. I heard some SMS adapters for GG had problems with larger carts, but I'm not sure if that as an issue with the adapter or the system. One weird thing with Phantasy Star 1 is that it's one of the few games (the other being Ys) that had the FM sound removed for the western release.Sengoku Strider wrote:There's something weird about Phantasy Star, it famously didn't work with the Power Base or Master Gear converter for some reason.
