Retro-bit prototype Saturn stick and wireless DC controllers.

Hopefully it won't take five or six years between showing a prototype and production as it was with the Saturn Pro controller.

Doom 64 Fan Port Lands on Sega Dreamcast
  • I don't know if it ever stopped. Seems like every other month there's a port or a homebrew that eventually goes retail.

    The Atomiswave arcade ports are great.

    Dreamcast Junkyard is the typical forum for all things that are "still thinking"

  • Games where an emulated console version outclasses the PC port?
  • Extreme G 2 on pc loses the analog steering from N64, which turns out is a big deal. Throwback Entertainment made a port-of-a-port and introduced a speed hack in the launcher menu where you can slow down the game a bit, which helps, but doesn't fix the issue.

    In some other cases like Hexen, there were alterations on console that I find generally more appealing, like an ost remaster or lighting effects.

    The Genesis game Zero Tolerance and Dreamcast version of Expendable are games I prefer on console simply because of the control schemes on pc.

  • Yeah, the Doom 64 projects are a bit different in scope, so I figured they deserve separate listings. Anywho:

    D64-RE is a decomp that you recompile yourself. There are some minor features like additional cheats, but it's a pretty raw "here is all the code" project that you can mess with yourself.

    Doom64 EX + is a fork of the original work by SVKaiser, called Doom 64 EX.

    Doom 64 EX is a mish-mash of reverse engineering and source port conversion. Famously, Kaiser now works at NightDive Studios and brought his proprietary KEX engine with him.

    EX+ basically rips out Kaiser's KEX engine, while keeping the improvements of the modern commercial release like loads of bug fixes, performance increases, and aims to be faithful to the original game.

    In addition, EX+ is able to be played on other platforms besides Windows, and can accept DeHacked64 patches. This allows for tweaks to values throughout the game (monster health, damage, weapons, etc), while bringing in support for a number of existing map packs.

    Strangely, EX+ does not have controller support - at all. It is mandatory mouse/keyboard.

  • The Sonic 1,2 and CD projects are cool since they are decomps of the remastered Android versions with proper widescreen plus modding support on 1 & 2 built in.

    The Sonic Mania decomp allows you to choose your renderer (DX11 / DX12, and Vulkan), among bug fixes and mod support. Did you know the official release doesn't let you use more than one controller in Competition Mode? The decomp lets you fix that. Plus mod support, of course. Most of the mods for Mania are cosmetic, but occasionally you get some cool stuff like more abilities or extending movesets to other characters.

    Gamebanana.com is a good resource on all counts of classic Sonic modding

    The Rez version is great, and this remix is even better.

    This gets into the realm of licensed music, but it's made for the game, so I count it 😉

    NES Music Orchestrated - Castlevania III - Anxiety This is one of many tracks from the classic NES game Castlevania III I try to stay as true to the original as possible to capture the feel of the original game, but improve the realism with modern Orchestral Sample librairies.

    I think this song benefits from having modern samples. Live instrument versions also generally sound good.

  • He's mostly known for his stuff while at Tri-Ace: Star Ocean and the like, but has also done a few sports games for Nintendo - namely Mario Golf and Tennis.

    In so far as works outside of games, I think you pretty much got it. He has a rock album called Gikyokuonsou.

    Apart from just a cool remix, it's a nice glitch demonstration / behind the scenes compilation.

    Alternatively, a megamix of all this guy's MKII tracks are here. The channel is worth deep-diving, too. Lots of MK remixes.

    Too bad the game tried to push people toward a multiplayer that nobody wanted or liked to unlock single player content.

    Dope orchestral soundtrack, though. Turns out blaring brass sounds good when you know what you're doing.

    This roguelite Metroidvania surprised me with how well the randomized mechanics blended with exploration, and this track gives plenty of atmosphere to the third biome.

    yewtu.be [OST] Skies Of Arcadia (Dreamcast) [Track 038] Kingdom Of Ixa Taki

    Skies Of Arcadia Développeur: Overworks Année de sortie: 2001 https://www.sega-mag.com/jeux/skies-arcadia-3899

    [OST] Skies Of Arcadia (Dreamcast) [Track 038] Kingdom Of Ixa Taki

    A turn-based rpg about travel and discovery in a very shonen kind of way. Now that I think about it, Skies takes a page or two from Laputa: Castle in the Sky. Anyway, one of the early lands has some of the most memorable music.

    The ost was released physically by Wayo Records here. If you care enough about the soundtrack as a whole, it's a beautiful recording and a neat cd collection to own, despite missing a few tracks here and there.

    OC Remix also has a remix album here

    Spent Fuel

    Prodeus might have been the first time in a while that I had a great time in an fps.

    Spent Fuel is a downbeat industrial metal track that symbolizes the game's "I'm here to kick ass and chew bubble gum" attitude.

    The long, brooding original by Moraski is given a similarly dark and insidious treatment with heavy synths and punchy bass.

    Mittsies "Epitomize (Sinner's VIP Edit)" | Helltaker

    Most seem to prefer "Vitality" from the same album, but I rather enjoy the darker, more intense rhythms here.

    Helltaker is a slide puzzle akin to Slayaway Camp mixed with a waifu collector visual novel, and the ost has no business going this hard. I haven't played the game even once, but I've listened to this album for hours.

    You can support Mittsies on Bandcamp but just be aware the artwork can be a bit....saucy.

    I would be remiss to mention SayMaxwell did very popular remixes to most of the tracks as well, including this one.

  • Gotta love that iconic 90s rap. It's still not as cheesey as it could be. Another fighting game that has a rap for no reason is "Gorge!" on the Primal Rage ost.

    Cliché, I know, but I'm all about Esaka. Especially since they've redone it so many times.
