Are there any games you've always wanted to play but can't because you don't own the only device they run on?

[Don Patch]

Yep! I always wanted to play the Shadow of the Beast reboot on the PS4:

It looks so great. One day, when the emulation is there, I hope I can get to it.

Yo, I forgot all about this one.
When I originally saw the trailer I expected launch to make a bigger-than-not splash.
Gonna look into that one too.

 

[DunkeyKong]

Yeah! I still have a copy and two Vitas. I only played through it once, but I would like to go back again and get all the trophies for it.

Two?! Wish I could have one

Wow, you’ve sold me! Does that mean I don’t have to worry about being lost in any of the series’ plot?

It’s a WHAT??? And I just looked it up, and they even remastered it for PS4! I’m definitely checking these games out — off-brand Halo sounds exactly like what I’m looking for.

Just an FYI re: killzone PSP. The 5th chapter was download only. IDK if it's included in the ps4 release. CDR's release of the game has the 5th chapter patched in as an option.

Anything Sega Saturn

Astro Boy looks very good too, I'm hoping for a pc release
Many light gun games especially

Yes it has a ps2 port, but come on, it's not the same thing without the GIANT HEAVY METAL RIFLE, I played it a couple times and it was THE TITS

Also

At one point a stegosaurus takes a giant dump on you and you can shoot it mid air

[It's Thinking 2]

Never had a Sega CD or Sega 32X. I'd love to get one of those custom built Sega Neptune consoles and a Mega Everdrive Pro cart to play all of them. Sure Kega Fusion can do it, but on actual hardware I need both.

Maybe some PlayStation exclusive games.

Apparently, White Knight Chronicles can't be emulated (yet) :(

 

[Adrastia]

Just about anything for modern PCs. I can hold off on consoles as I tend to get them years after they are new and shiny anyway. But I have an ancient laptop. My old PC died and a friend gave me an old laptop. It's not the kind with upgradable graphics so I'm stuck with integrated graphics. So right now I envy people with even a little bit more power. Although I'm grateful for what I can play. I have resorted to "try before I buy" when no demo is available. It's gonna be quite awhile before I can get a new laptop.

Another thing that makes me sad is that I have a ton of PS2 games but I cannot play them on native hardware because my PS2 was stolen. Although I recently discovered my second memory card was inside The Sims 2 case and not in the console like I had thought.

I also can't play my GBA games because my DS Lite was also stolen. Pretty much half my game collection too. That kind of betrayal really festers. I don't think I'll ever be over it.

Fable 2. I know it can be streamed on pc using xbox cloud gaming beta, but it just sucks playing it like that and Xenia still has serious graphical glitches.

Also lots pc games of dos ~ win95 era just can't be reliably played anymore, modern OS won't even boot 16bit programs and most VMs will have a problem or two. I am big fan of 90s myst style point & click games, but the ones that haven't been ported to ScummVM are an absolute pain to get working.

 

[Waffles's iconWaffles]

I REALLY wanted to play BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle, but I don't have a Switch, powerful enough PC or any other system capable of running it.

 

[It's Thinking 2]

I don't have any current hardware and my Windows 11 is pretty basic. If Sega made a new console for all their new games coming out soon, I would fork over all my money for it. :)

 

[sandogma]

Without a doubt for me its F-Zero 99. I'm currently waiting to hop back onto the Nintendo train with the Switch 2 but this game alone has made me very tempted to pick up an OG Switch.
I mean, just LOOK at this craziness!!

 

[otogirisou]

most vanillaware games. Don't have consoles and my laptop is too potato to emulate anything past ps1 (yes, even saturn)

 

[RetroLaw]

Apparently, White Knight Chronicles it can't be emulated (yet) :(

It seems that the second game is playable, and it has a remastered version of the first game in it, with a lot of changes that makes the game better from what I heard.

As for me it would be Fantasia, but that won't be an issue anymore soon

 

[Flamebeard]

For me it would be this game. I love the series and a big Yakuza fan so this was a match made in heaven. but alas, it's made for consoles and I've been a PC Gamer for the last decade with emulation the only way I choose to play console titles. It feels more distant every year to hope for a PC Port so I'd have to wait until PS4 Emulation becomes feasible

 

[Cu-Neo]

I would really like to have a PS3 to play that and the original Demon souls and I also want to play Gravity rush 2 but I dont have a PS4 ?

tbf Saturn emulation is still many steps behind psx emulation. At times it feels like the Dreamcast is easier to emulate. You kinda have to bruteforce it with powerful hardware.

There are a couple of more easily obtainable games I'm still missing like a lot of the more popular nintendo hardware, but the ones where it irks me the most I can't play them are the few good original xbox exclusives like Genma Onimusha. It's not a popular system for emulation so there's little support and working consoles are getting rarer and more expensive. Same with the games, many of which were never made compatible with newer xbox versions making this a problem that is compounding.
My og xbox broke down unceremoniously many years ago (as they are wont to do) before I could build a decent library, and I've given up on the system since. I'm not sure I'm gonna take a chance with that hardware family again.

The few Wii U exclusives that interest me to play or at least try once.

Yes, I want to try StarFox Zero and even actually get to play Smash 4 Wii U (I only had the 3DS one).

Gravity Rush 2 is the GOAT.

Gravity Rush Remaster is quite the treat at 60 fps.

If Gravity Rush was upgraded to 60 fps on PS5 I would have bought the system.

So sad that this game is stuck on Ps4/ Ps5

Demon's Souls can be easily emulated. Look it up on the girl that is fit

Yeah, that was my reaction too, I still didn't play it though. ?

All 3ds and Wii U games xD

I’m actually curious, what’s stopping you from playing it now? It’s on every modern system these days.
