I know this will probably just be a straight port, but the phrase “Developed by WayForward” is conjuring up some funny images in my mind.

straight port with 9,486 frames of breast bouncing overlayed on the original sprites lovingly drawn by Matt Bozon

Announcing Gex, Tomba, Clock Tower, El Shaddai and fuckin’ Rose & Camellia is the most “This is my hole! It was made for me!” one of these things has ever been.

it plays, but the game freezes up if you try to load a save from your memory card, meaning you need to play the whole thing in one sitting. not great lol

This is how you know you’ve made it big time.

From my memory of playing Clocktower I think Digital Eclipse would have been a better steward for this than Wayforward, because a Maniac-Mansion-With-A-Fire-Under-Your-Ass game should have an integrated guide and event diagram to be casually enjoyable in a modern setting.

Still concerned the central disc is too small. Only 4 additional jacks is kinda limited but we’ll see.

hey, only $90 isn’t as bad as i thought it’d be. the base DualSense is $70 so i’m pleasantly surprised this isn’t like $120 or something

XAC is $100 but the products are quite differentiated - you only get a d-pad and the function buttons and two big touchpads buttons (thought they were touchpads! i guess they are just big ol’ buttons, eh?) on the XAC. importantly, tho, you do get nineteen(!) 3.5mm jacks, so effectively every input can have its own module. i’m not sure how much use you can get out of the XAC without also getting modules

PlayStation Access Controller (PAC?) for $90 seems like you could make it work with more stuff out of the box, but only four 3.5mm jacks means expandability on a single PAC is going to be pretty limited. I expect you might need two of these to use in tandem to be able to cover enough bases for games with even somewhat complex control paradigms

i’ll probably get one of these at some point
