CPUWIZ Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 OK, let's look at the facts: They have a polished working prototype They have a booth at the biggest toy show in the world They have a team of seasoned industry luminaries Mike has been a part of multiple successful gaming properties: GameGavel, Retrogamingroundup, RETRO, Chickenshift I see this video and see a fantastic beat-em-up game on a cool new system being played by a video game enthusiast. I can't wait to see everyone freaking out when this is a multi-million dollar Kickstarter success. So, the water in North Carolina is all messed up as well? Damn. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenixdownita Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) .... Chickenshift I believe the complete title is: Chinckenshift: back to the coop (homage to the unforgettable Chickenshift from Sente ..... I think ) As I mentioned elsewhere with a couple of letter fixes I have a better title: Chinckenshift: back to the pcoop Edited February 16, 2016 by phoenixdownita 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who are you, and what is your agenda? As for "the facts," that's a delightfully selective list of accomplishments, but it's not sufficient to cover the faults of this campaign. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait to see everyone freaking out when this is a multi-million dollar Kickstarter success. You're clearly trolling, but I have to address these points for people who honestly don't know better: 1 - They had a SNES Jr is a Jag shell. That is NOT a prototype 2 - They did not have a booth. Coleco had a booth and they were allowed to display there. 3 - It's primarily a team of sales and marketing people. That's not what you want to see for a team looking to launch a video game console. 4 - RETRO has been far from successful. They've had enough trouble getting issues of that magazine out the door that everyone should be questioning how on Earth they'll ever get a new piece of hardware to market. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comments that haven't been deleted are rah-rah enthusiastic for Chameleon and demonstrate a terrifying lack of critical thought. This is written like one of their shills/cheerleaders. If not for the spokesmouth appearing all over the Internet, I'd shrug this whole thing off as a joke. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not entirely sure what you are referring to, I am aware of all the "edits" but it looks as dreaded as it always had and in the end it's only announcing that tomorrow there will be another KS tier announcement. I hope this time it's the invaluable Coleco Chameleon Unobtanium Edition ! Regarding "spokesmouth" I only recall triverse calling Mike a "mouthpiece".

IF the Chameleon comes not using SNES edges, you could have a cart with 2 ends, one for the SNES and one for the Chameleon, ahhahahhaa. THAT WOULD BE RETRO... same code, all SNES, the other end would load the HDL core for the FPGA as well, but has the same roms. If you can dual release them as SNES cart, I'm in.

InnovaX5 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Honestly it makes sense for them to be at a toy show and not a video game convention. You saw how fast we smelled a SNES Mini and SD2SNES here in this thread without even setting foot in their booth. Imagine the backlash they would have gotten at PAX or E3 (lol, just imagine mike at E3). I mean they're not lying about it having a FPGA, the SD2SNES has a fpga in it after all. However, Piko's post was a little bit dispelling for me. Why? Because I trust Eli and his company - they're great people. Collectorvision seems to be pretty adamant about it being so awesome too. Would I give them the benefit of the doubt? Yes. Do I give the Chameleon team it? No. Someone isn't telling the truth here. For all I know, both Piko and Collectorvision have been paid off by the CC team to say the things they've posted. At the end of the day they're both businesses and businesses need money to survive. However, this is the kind of situation that can destroy businesses. Customer trust is everything and if you're misleading the customer because you've been paid off to or because you've been lied its your fault regardless of which. Everything you've worked so hard to build up can be destroyed from something like this. Obviously it's a risk you're both willing to take, because if this console is legitimate then you've been part of the gold mine from day one. Pretty sure I read something about false prophets some where before. I hope for all parties involved in the Chameleon are ready for whatever unfolds come the end of the month. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenegg Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I mean they're not lying about it having a FPGA, the SD2SNES has a fpga in it after all. Their messaging wasn't focused on the system having an FPGA. They were focusing on showing off that they apparently wrote their own SNES FPGA core. Regardless if the SD2SNES has an FPGA, they definitely weren't running a SNES core on it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickcris Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) What I took from Piko's post was he smells something fishy but cannot comment on it. I could have misinterpreted what he wrote though. Probably whatever the pipe dream, of what the RVGS team says the final product of the Coleco Chameleon is going to be, sounds awesome to them both.

Schizophretard Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 New interview with Mike about the console from the toy fair: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kz7SgnQexJI The controller on the left is a Super NES Mini controller. The one on the right is a regular Super NES controller. In that video it appears to have Super NES Mini controllers plugged in because you can slightly see the engraved Nintendo logo in some of the frames. So, I guess he brought his whole Super NES Mini set minus the case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly certain these are the controllers he was using at the booth: http://www.amazon.com/Super-Nintendo-Entertainment-Generic-Classic-Controller/dp/B0009KKVVE/ref=sr_1_2?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1455596856&sr=1-2&keywords=snes+controller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda Stardust Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Dual? Well since the Chameleon is apparently just a proprietary SNES clone, anything released as a Chameleon exclusive can be ported over effortlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
