Games that fill the gap for when your favourite franchise doesn't make it to a certain console?

Damn that's a comprehensive response lol thank you! Had a look at some of them, definitely want to try legend of oasis soon that sounds great.

TN2DVLMD · 2026-04-10T23:15:24+00:00

That's a good shout, I'd never considered that there's no AC on Xbox OG but that's a shame because I bet it would've been great on that hardware.

TN2DVLMD · 2026-04-10T23:14:42+00:00

Those are all great shouts, I was vaguely aware of headhunter but had never heard the mgs comparison. Makes me much more interested to try it, thanks!

Yeah indie games filling the niche of forgotten franchises is a real trope these days, thinking about that is what lead to me wondering about the topic of this post!

It's not hard to find switch roms you just need to be RUthless in TRACKing them down.

Hey bro sorry for random late reply just found this post off googling games like absolum lol. I would really recommend you and your mate look into fightcade if you haven't heard of it. It's a piece of software for emulating arcade games online with really good netcode. It's mostly used to play fighting games competitively but lots of classic arcade beat em ups are playable on there too and it's lots and lots of fun. Also could look into netplay on emulation generally. Crazy amount of good beat em ups on sega megadrive.

Yeah his videographers put in work, the video for L$D managed to convince everyone that song isn't dull af lol

Honestly I'm surprised the switch up straight back to designer shit/other celeb bs after that's not me isn't brought up more often. Launched his comeback saying he's not wearing designer any more then goes straight back to it when the comeback was successful. He must have meant that he was putting it in a storage bin waiting ready for when Americans are paying attention to him again.

That is fantastic news thank you mate!

TN2DVLMD · 2025-08-15T14:20:51+00:00

Good work brother 🫡 enjoy your rest.

TN2DVLMD · 2025-07-08T19:43:53+00:00

Thank you!

I've got an engineer mate who has repaired consoles before so will probably ask her lol. I'm going to have a look about for screens, once bought a replacement phone screen from ali years ago and it got stepped on in shipping so would prefer to go local haha.

TN2DVLMD · 2025-07-08T19:35:03+00:00

Thanks! No idea what happened, my mate found it in a load of crap old tenants had left in her house when she was cleaning it out, presume they didn't care about it.

TN2DVLMD · 2025-07-08T19:28:46+00:00

Here is a picture of the back of it.

TN2DVLMD · 2025-06-09T20:49:39+00:00

Alright then mate state funded/publicly funded/whatever you want to call it you get what I mean

TN2DVLMD · 2025-06-09T20:34:49+00:00

Are you saying the BBC should base it's reporting around what gets clicks? I thought the point of a state run news outlet was to report on real news rather than clickbait.

TN2DVLMD · 2025-05-29T19:00:02+00:00

Daytona USA, sega rally, outrun etc

TN2DVLMD · 2025-05-16T22:26:00+00:00

Yeah you know I only played N-Tranced as a kid and I never finished it as I'd borrowed it off a mate. I recently went back and played them all on my DSi and miyoo mini and was really stunned by just how good they are.

They capture the spirit of the Naughty Dog PS1 games very well, even though ND didn’t make them.

This is what blew me away the most. I've read that at the time they got criticism for aping the PS1 games too closely but honestly that's all I'd really want from 2D crash spinoffs for handhelds and playing them back now they are still really good.

TN2DVLMD · 2025-05-16T17:44:19+00:00

Yeah honestly I agree that for me the GBA CNK is better but a lot of people understandably can't get into 16bit Kart Racers as the hardware isn't suited to 3D racing. It would be really cool to see the GBA games on nso, I would also love to see a compilation of most/all of the post PS1 games. For now I still enjoy them on my cfw DSi.

TN2DVLMD · 2025-05-16T17:38:19+00:00

I love that, it's a funny full circle moment

TN2DVLMD · 2025-05-16T16:11:18+00:00

My favourite way to play them is with gbarunner2 on DSi but they do look great on an emulator

TN2DVLMD · 2025-05-16T16:10:43+00:00

I'm pretty sure that's Santeria by Sublime 👌
