sh3-rg Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 A new console with a Jaguar case and a Wii U controller... with that pedigree, what could possibly go wrong? 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+madman Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Oh, the humanity! But seriously, I don't want to crap on this project, but, uh...what's the point? New retro console hardware? What's wrong with all the existing retro consoles that have a plethora of documentation and source code available? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magmon51 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 If it uses the Wii U controller, I will most certainly not buy it. It would be a crying shame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Someone is not content with the jaguar failing commercially once, so they are recussitating the ghost of its spent shell to rise again from the plastic fumes of the graveyard to fail, fail again!!! Muahhahaha 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muahhahaha The difference is this time all the loonies on here know why the Jaguar failed and as a result, the community has learned from this experience and Jaguar v2 will certainly dominate. In 2 years Sony and Microsoft will be out of the video game hardware business. My only questions are: When will the CD-ROM attachment be released and how far along is the Tomb Raider development? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+xucaen Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 As long as I get a real dev kit I'm on board. ＼(^o^)／ ╮(╯▽╰)╭ (*˘︶˘*) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 For anyone wondering what that controller is based on, its a third partywii/Wii u classic pro controller. Not to be confused with a Wii u pro conrtoller, which games for on the Wii u rated for pro controller it is not compatible with. The fist party equivalent plugs into the Wii mote and is used mostly for virtual console. I'm sure it must have been cheap to adapt it (or the receiving components in the console) for their uses.

sh3-rg Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Games? For those you need devs. Interesting to see which, if any, Jaguar devs they have beavering away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+remowilliams Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Well let's hope the failure wasn't built right into the plastics mold itself because that's as Jaguar as this thing seems to be. 'We have also purchased the original tooling for the Atari Jaguar and will be repurposing, rebranding and reengineering it into the RETRO VGS' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmOneGarand Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 For those you need devs. Interesting to see which, if any, Jaguar devs they have beavering away. http://retrogamingmagazine.com/2015/02/18/new-hardware-retro-video-game-system-in-development/ While not Jag devs, they list a couple indie devs towards the bottom and it mentions Konami may be involved in some game development which is odd.

racerx Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 we are having conversations with Konami, Capcom, Sega and Namco now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerosquare Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Yeah, sure. Remember that for some people, sending an e-mail to a PR department is "having a conversation". Almost every homebrew/independent game console made the promise of third-party support. None of them succeeded.

+remowilliams Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Wait - are you saying that we STILL won't get Tomb Raider on this new 'not a Jaguar at all' system?!?! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+madman Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I can absolutely see major developers concentrating efforts on a homebrew retro system in 2015. The downfall of Sony and Microsoft has begun! Mods: How long until we get a Jag v2 sub-forum on here? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Dragon Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Regarding we are in talks with... I seem to recal NUON telling UK Press at the time that Capcom were looking at the hardware (ie hint hint they might be developing for it) yet nothing came of that, nor the DMC game for PSP, nor the Resident Evil game Sony annouced when PSP GO was launched, Sony last i heard despite annoucing it had'nt even signed a deal to do Bioshock on Vita (that now looks long since dead in the water). Are they really trying to copy the original Jaguar right down to annoucing 3rd party support that at best, is at the consideration stage? Quick some one start an official Lost games thread for it and start editing footage from other systems to put a compilation video or 3 of proof games were coming... Only then will it be a true spirtual follow up to the Jaguar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Dragon Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 ReadRetro: 'We are also talking with and having very positive conversations with many big publishers such as Konami, Capcom, Sega, Namco'-All rather vague and until anything from any of these is signed, sorry to say utterly meaningless.Konami, Capcom, Namco etc all 'supported' the Dreamcast to a degree, but it was token support in a lot of cases. 'Think about what a 2-D console would have performed like after the NEO GEO and that is where we are heading.' Erm, but i don't need to think, i owned a Jaguar, Sega Saturn and (suppose Dreamcast), let alone the PSP,PS3 and 360 i own. Sure the 2DS is bloody powerful at 2D as well, it's not like Neo-Geo was last machine to push 2D is it? I'm really not sure what they are trying to say with some of the statements.....

triverse Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Just a heads up for those interested in this thing. I am having a meeting with Konami tomorrow afternoon (Central Standard Time) concerning their alleged "involvement" with the RETRO VGS. I will be doing a follow up article, sooner than later, based on what I find out from Konami, Capcom, Namco and a few others. So far though, I have only confirmed independent developers that are listed in the articles so far. Take that as you will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
