Xbox answer to Stellar Blade?
Looks good all the same - getting PN03 vibes from this. Need to see some more game play.

Time Crisis with a light gun on a modern TV? Yes please.

(Minus 100 points for gratuitous use of AI in product marketing though.)

Definitely definitely definitely interested in that. Obviously the version with a pedal would be a must. Very good that it's based on the System 22 version and not PS1, as well.

My only query is whether we would be able to add more games. I would be happy to pay for them as additional carts like an Evercade type setup. But it sounds like it's just the single integrated game.

I'd ideally like to also have Time Crisis 2 (the 🐐), and the Point Blanks. Maybe a lil Ghoul Panic action too.

They can miss me with Vampire Night tho (not that it was being offered and nor should it be).

If they can find ways to include a compilation on it then this would be perfect (barring the AI bollox).

As already mentioned, Time Crisis 1, 2 and the GunBullet/Point Blank games would be perfect.

I’d be more excited for the Point Blank games but this is encouraging

Amazing news!
Definitely interested, but having a unit for every shooting game would be impractical.

The box is probably a SoC with an emulator so surely there will be some kind of option to add more games via cart or SD card. Or hackers will figure out a way to do it.

They're re-releasing the 1st game I ever imported.

California Sets New Digital Film & TV Law - Dark Horizons
The state has signed a new law from next year that makes it illegal for digital store fronts covering music, games and TV/Film to list releases without making it explictly clear that those paying for the item are only granted access to a revokable licence and do not own their purchase.

As part of the law it will no longer be legal for store fronts to use the term Buy or Purchase on their listings. If stores offer permanent offline downloads, such as GOG, they can continue to use the terms. A list of terms must be shown marking out the conditions of the licence and any company not complying will be found guilty of false advertising. Currently that would cover most store fronts such as Amazon, Steam, PSN etc.

Looks like a new Raiden Fighters collection is coming

Even though I already have these games on the 360 I'll be there day one. Great shooters with banging soundtracks. Although I suppose like the other Mikado mix games there will be remixed soundtracks too.

Time Crisis stand alone in action

Not liking the look of that on-screen crosshair. That needs to be something you can turn off.

EDIT:

Oh okay, clicking through to Twitter someone else wanted to know whether this could be done and asked the developer. Their answer is uncertain however:
