RIP RetroVGS/Coleco Chameleon: Retro Console Epic Disaster (2015-2016)
http://www.retrovgs.com/
If you haven't heard, our dear old SoCalMike, fresh off Kickstarting a magazine, decides he's qualified enough to make his own game console.
Wait, it gets better. It gets so much better.
Let's just do a checklist, in no particular order:
1. Was originally going to be funded on Kickstarter, but had to switch to Indiegogo because they do not have a working prototype. Total bullshit that Indiegogo is "courting" them, when Indiegogo couldn't give a shit. Just like how you had "conversations" with Konami and Capcom?
2. SoCalMike has begun deleting negative comments from the system's Facebook page because the blowback has been getting worse and worse.
3. The system will cost $300, $100 less than a PS4 or Xbone, or as much as a WiiU.
4. Two words: Cardboard PCB
5. Here's the current game selection, look out guys, Super Noah's Ark, courtesy of the nitwit at Pika Interactive! Games List
6. Should be number one, but they are using the Jaguar die to make the system shells. Sure, let's get our system off the right start by using the shell of a total failure game console.
7. SoCalMike and his team do not have even have a board layout. An inside source has been cited as saying "Every time I talk to them, the design was 100% different".
If you can read all this and still confidently give SoCalMike your money for this system, then there is no hope for you.
The AA thread is also gold.
