    Follow-Up: On Blanka's stage I compared the scrolling to my original Street Fighter Arcade machine and there's for sure something not right. The game plays fine but the scrolling has almost an escalator effect. It's hard to describe but I will try to post a follow-up video so people can see it. In the meantime, I'm going to reach out to them and see if this is something they can resolve with a firmware update.

      Could anyone tell me if the graphics and game play are more "finely tuned" as in comparison to others on the Raspberry Pi 3b+? I got a Retropie and for classics on MAME like Donkey Kong/Jr/Mario Bros some audio is absent from the game. If you can help me, I'd really appreciate it. I'm very new to this and any advice from any experienced gamer would be most appreciated.

    The instructions are in English as well as Japanese, you just have to open it and turn it over. But not worth the money. 10 games is lacking very hard. Overall unit is fantastic but it needs more games. Add in STA series and the VS series and I’m all in.

    I don't know if anyone saw this, but MLP posted on Twitter that his Retro Station broke! This is what he wrote.."Yesterday I received this and did a video. thought it was neat but expensive for only having 10 games, with 4 of them being Street Fighter II variants. Well, none of that matters as now the unit won't power on anymore... just my luck..." Also saw someone else posting on these videos about how their Retro Station freezes at a white screen. Now I'm much more weary to buy this (even though it does look awesome).

    • @RetroRalph
      @RetroRalph  Před 3 lety +1

      In Street Fighter 2 world warrior I noticed the scrolling was a little weird but I'm going to compare it to my "OG full size" Street Fighter to double check. I heard others say something similar. Under normal lighting conditions the glare is minimal. Under the lights in my studio you get a little bit due to how close and bright they are. Thanks for watching by the way, much appreciated!

    lots of good with this. I just wish there were better games. Street fighter is starting to get stale. I am very sorry to say that since it is one of my fav fighting games. All these SF games have been released in multiple platforms recently. They need to put more variety. Should have at least as many games as the neo geo mini for $200. I would prefer this package, but with neo geo games like metal slug...etc. would be perfect. If they would just add some of the capcom cps1 beatemups and shmups this would be way better. Love the form factor.
