Good update for October and November.

Like what you did with Hurricane Lisa?

Is Hurricane Mitch butterflied away ITTL?

Waiting for more, of course...
 
I wonder if Kalinske's daughter was more impressed with Angels than she was of MagiQuest?

Speaking of All That!, was Good Burger still made? Or was another skit adapted?

And caught a typo you said, "Virtua Fighter 3, which does not require the Mega Charger in order to play".

Great update as usual. I can't wait for the Nintendo November update though.

Mitch IS Lisa. Just have one of the season's weak tropical storms remain a depression and Mitch becomes Lisa. Butterflies end up removing the steering factor that took it into Honduras IOTL, so instead it continues on and hits Cancun before curving to the east and smacking Tampa. Ironically, even though it kills many many MANY fewer people than in IOTL (ITTL it kills about 20 or so, IOTL it killed well over 10,000), it's probably remembered more in the United States because of what it does to Tampa (think Ike but not nearly as bad).
 
What's the type of processor used in the Ring? I'm thinking its a MIPS based like the main processor.

Mips is good guess as they have worked with Silicon Graphics so far in the TL and being the same type as *Saturn cpu about compatibiliy and exotic archicteture issue, we're now more moderated about info of parts we didn't know so keep ambigous still next console launch.

So helped being the mega charger sucessor.
 
I'm really enjoying this. You gave Sega enough strength to be a real rival, but it still fails when going against Nintendo.

As a Nintendo fan and follower, I am pleased by this outcome.
 
You motherfuckers, you made me sympathize with Sega! How dare you:p Nah, i'm kidding. That end was really touching even if I am a Nintendo fanboy through and through and hope Sega remains second ITTL, though a far closer(and existent:() second then OTL

The most we reserach TL, the most how sega botched every step they make in otl, we're following an strategy, just sometimes the rival is too good, so Sega is always healthy and that is improving videogames business.

Seriously, if we put someone from 80's and put otl and ITTL face to face he would say otl is ASB how Sega ruined all his own sucess and action.
 
Angels: The Basics
<snip> the voice acting, though starring a cast of mostly British unknowns, receives a great deal of praise as well. <snip>
Would one of those 'mostly unknown' Brits happen to be Victoria Harwood? OTL she's the English dub voice of Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing in both Hellsing animes ("classic" and Ultimate), and about now should still be in England (or just moved to the States).

A very promising start to the Ring's market presence.
Loved the Segata Sanshiro commercial as always.

I never thought of adding love interest for Kage-Maru in Virtua Fighter, VF3 looks interesting.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see Tom & co. hauled back in front of congress over Arbiter of Sin. That game is going to piss off all of the people that pissed off by those sorts of things.

Was that comment about arcades still dying just a jerk on the internet being a jerk on the internet, or is the decline & obsolescence of the arcades in the west just sort of inevitable?

So Shenmue (1) as a spring/early-summer '99 release? Cool!

@Nivek: Like I say in my location, OTL IS ASB!
 
With Sonic 5 coming up, maybe I could write another Archie Comics piece, or maybe another review of Sonic 5? I don't have anything right now, just offering to do something.
 
Make no mistake, this is no Mega Charger. It takes the Saturn to a whole new level of graphical performance and enables it to play games that players could only dream of before.

In other words, it's exactly the same as the Mega Charger.

Also, some guy thinks that a console (the Sega Genesis + MC) was an abject failure just because it did not make quite as much money as its rival. Remember how the PSP sold 80 million units, but sold far less than the NDS, making it a complete loss? Neither do I.

I would like to see an update on the status of the comic.

As for the Ring it's facing too much stiff competition from Nintendo. It's going to be an uphill battle, that much I can say.
 
I wonder if Kalinske's daughter was more impressed with Angels than she was of MagiQuest?

Believe it or not, by then Kalinske's daughters had an Ultra Nintendo, it was a gift from one of Kalinske's in-laws. Ashley's favorite Ultra Nintendo game thus far is The Dreamers. She did play Angels but she thought it was "boring", her favorite Saturn game is Sonic 4.

Speaking of All That!, was Good Burger still made? Or was another skit adapted?

Good Burger was not made, Nick actually did a Pete and Pete movie instead.

Nope, she hasn't done any video game voices yet.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see Tom & co. hauled back in front of congress over Arbiter of Sin. That game is going to piss off all of the people that pissed off by those sorts of things.

Around the time Arbiter of Sin is coming out, Congressional Republicans will be trying and failing to impeach Clinton. They'll be too discouraged from that to pick up their anti-games crusade.


Was that comment about arcades still dying just a jerk on the internet being a jerk on the internet, or is the decline & obsolescence of the arcades in the west just sort of inevitable?

Little bit of both. Arcades aren't dying yet but they're in a slow decline.


So Shenmue (1) as a spring/early-summer '99 release? Cool!

It just got delayed until December 1998 actually.

With Sonic 5 coming up, maybe I could write another Archie Comics piece, or maybe another review of Sonic 5? I don't have anything right now, just offering to do something.

Sure thing! You can do another Archie Comics post any time you'd like, but wait a bit on Sonic 5 until around April or May of 1999 comes around.

OSM is spinning a little bit :)

He didn't say it was a "failure", he just meant that he didn't think the Ring would be successful in putting the Saturn over the Ultra.

A gift? To Kalinske, that would be a declaration of war. :D

I wonder how he feels about having an Ultra in his home? I bet he plays it.:D

I remember that now. I can live with that. I loved the Adventures of Pete and Pete. Have you watched the parody reunion on youtube, I think it is Funny or Die? It is hilarious though.
 
So today Activision Blizzard announced they were going into the TV/Film business with the development of adaptations of their IPs.

It got me wondering, will we see more on Nintendo outside games in the November update? Like the Zelda cartoon that's on the Disney Channel.
 
Yeah I saw that. Amazing! (Alas without the extra graphics chip of your timeline's SNES CD :D)

It actually brings something to mind: what about earlier video game preservation ITTL? Seattle or San Francisco would make a pretty good place for a video game museum...

Yeah(that seems was more the proof of concept how cd and carts would interact, i based the specs the leaked document i uploaded at the start of the TL, is still in dropbox)

I Can imagine sega pulling it first thanks longer arcade heritage and can put old unit alongside reconstructed ones and will be pretty hefty their old arcade and pre genesis console life alongside the rise of sonic...something would work 2000+

Nintendo would do it later, but maybe in japan(old building) to show hanafuda, ultra hand and early electro-mechanical toys,etc, but that will take time to happen
 
otl NOTE again; here is otl cancelled snes-cd prototype was posted a few pages ago here working Flawesly with Cartidge Based game: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1136078

So still wonder WTH happened that summer in 19991

Been waiting for an update on that. Sucks they could not see what is on the cartridge. If only we had a trans-dimensional gate and play TTLs games on it.:D

Btw, someone should post a comment with a link to TTL. I would but I'm on a 360. Several people said something along the lines of wanting to see what a world would look like if the system was made.
