looks like pixelhearts newest cash grab is merely a mugen port of tough guy which was originally a dos game.

I'm shocked. SHOCKED!

But I'm not. I don't pay much attention to them anymore, though I did preorder 'Andro Dunos 2' for 3DS because it's likely the last physical 3DS game ever, and I've been on a big DS/3DS kick the last month or so.

As far as Dreamcast releases, most just don't seem worth it.

Yeah, can't say you guys didn't warn people. It feels similar like what happened to Steam around 5+ years ago. More and more shovelware was put on the platform making it nigh impossible to find what you were looking for. Over 20 years of games plus thousands of more indies and shit games coming each year. Obviously it is on a much smaller scale here on the Dreamcast, and I used to say "Any new game is something to be happy for" but yeah really getting difficult to praise all of Joshprod's ports to it.

@mrneo240, wait so if this is running on Mugen, it should be easy to mod right? Why did we never get Mugen on the system yet? Well I mean people spoke about porting it, and we had attempts in past but if this is truly running on a custom build of Mugen that is blessing in disguise no?

Same here, I did order Vulkaiser though, but I’m a huge fan of the 60’s/70’s huge robot anime stuff with their bombastic soundtracks, so even if the game turns out to be half assed, there’s still the style & soundtrack :mrgreen:

Is this a dosbox port? or actually running on mugen?

I stopped listening to youtubers recommendations long time ago, both independent and the mainstream ones.
They are basically just parroting statements that the publishers told them to say.
The only reason to watch reviews of recent stuff is as a kind of extended advertisements known from late night tv...
