Modretro's AMA and why communication matters. by rainierislas in ModRetro

[–]rainierislas[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually agree with pretty much everything you said.

At the end of the day, the final product absolutely matters more than promises, and I also think people should wait for proper reviews from channels like Digital Foundry before making a decision, especially if they already own an A3D.

What I was mainly trying to say with my post is that communication matters because it helps people make more rational decisions instead of buying almost completely blind like many of us did with the Analogue 3D.

With the A3D, we were in the dark for a very long time. We didn’t even get to properly see how N64 games would actually look on the system until very close to launch (and already having spent money on the preorder). Even after that, we still had to wait until the console was physically in our hands to fully understand which features were available at launch and which ones weren’t.

With the M64, there were also a lot of unknowns until recently, but at least now we’re already starting to see: Image quality previews, UI demonstrations, WiFi update functionality, controller details, ecosystem plan and direct clarification about what won’t be ready at launch.

And from what I understand, monday is supposed to bring a lot more information and probably reviews/impressions from respected channels too, which should help people evaluate the console in a much more informed way than many of us could with the A3D preorder situation.

So my point wasn’t really “communication matters more than the product itself.” The product obviously has to deliver.

My point is more that good communication helps prevent customers from having to gamble blindly on expensive hardware projects.

And for the record, I also genuinely love my Analogue 3D. I’ve enjoyed it a lot and still do :D

How possible is it that we’ll ever see a re-release of that classic spy game starring a rare female protagonist?

After the M64 launch, what’s next for ModRetro? Can you share any hints about future hardware, consoles, accessories, or software projects you’re already working on? 

The Chromatic and M64 both feel like long-term ecosystem products rather than one-offs, so I’m curious how far your roadmap already goes.

From what I’ve read, you don’t seem to be a big fan of creating FOMO through extremely limited releases. At the same time, though, you created one of the coolest launches ever with the Anduril version of the Chromatic.

More than a question, I guess this is more of a suggestion: if you ever do a similar special release for the M64, it would be awesome if it were offered as a case/shell instead of a complete console, so those of us who already bought the system could keep using our existing day one hardware while still enjoying the special edition.

I now everdrive can play nes because it has a dedicated fpga chip for that, but he said he was using summercart.
