JagChris Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I'm not sure I like this. That's going to cause confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CyranoJ Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) Not really, One of them will be a failed, under-powered console, with no developer support and a horrible controller... and the other will be ???

Retro Rogue Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) This project actually involves a bunch of ex-industry game developers like Steve Woita making new games specifically for the console. Likewise, it's just using the old case modes. It's relationship with the Jaguar ends there. It's not a Jaguar 2, nor is it meant to be a Phantom or generic Linux box running emulators, etc. It's new hardware intended to run new "retro style" games coded by many of the same people who did the originals.

NeoGeoNinja Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) The concept, overall, is potentially very interesting vs whateverthefuck the architecture of this thing will actually end up being. However, I can't exactly say that using the Atari Jaguar case mold offers it the best start out of the blocks, genetically speaking: 1) it's a Jaguar 2) Dust flap deficiency syndrome 3) Recess for CD add-on 4) No reset button 5) it's a Jaguar Personally, I'd be making me some mold 'modifications' prior to mass production. I'll be keeping a close eye on this project though. Unlike the usual clone/emulation systems, this project has potential. Could... end up being 'another' Jaguar though Edited March 1, 2015 by NeoGeoNinja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Communicating that instead of teasing in the Jaguar section might have been a good idea then... just sayin'. For me, Jaguar is the perfect "retro" console right now. Everything is simple enough for pretty much anyone to work with at this point, but isn't all-powerful removing any kind of challenge whatsoever and therefore allowing apathy to kick in. Still, I wish them every success with their project if it means the plastic parts are affordable and abundant for us Jaguar types.

There's nothing more to "communicate," it's exactly what I posted. There's already two other threads discussing the console itself and what it entails, this was simply to link to the pictures of the original Jaguar molds used in the console. Hence the relevant post in the Jaguar section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excuse me for thinking it might possibly have had something to do with the Jaguar other than the plastic parts. And as you say, that's what you posted, not those who are working on it, after the fact, after the teases.
