fuck yeah there's Shinobi arcade, but are there interviews or scans of manuals and promotional materials and stuff.

Make no mistake - Shinobi arcade made it clear that I would be buying this game. I'm just wondering what I'm getting aside from that.
 
Get Locoroco. I can't wait to go and buy Locoroco2 when I have more money.
OR when I go on my crazy trade in adventure.
Seriously though, Locoroco, God Of Wair: Chains Of Olympus, Crisis Core and Patapon (along with the Syphon Filter games) are awesome.
 
I'm going to go see if my BB still has any decent cheap gamecube games. I was gonna grab Metroid Prime at hastings but that shit was 18 bucks.

I really want to find a cheap Baiten Kaitos too.

Lady GaGa is an unimaginative poser who has fulfilled every pop cliche within weeks of having semi-fame. If I were able to manufacture a "paint by numbers" kit for a pop-star, the finished product would be her.

Just sayin' that your taste was questionable before. Shinobi is the finest ninja game I can think of, and it even holds up today. Is it amazing? Nah; but it is my childhood, and plays better today than...D-Cap Attack or some of the other selections.

Dunno. Haven't looked at the extras. Prolly not, but I'll find out later.

[quote name='Chacrana']Syphon Filter was okay back in February 1999. It was basically MGS for the homeless. Nowadays? Hoo boy, that shit's nigh-unplayable.[/QUOTE]

But we get that, while Japan gets PSN versions of damn near every Square-Enix title not called "Final Fantasy" for $6.

:rofl:

Did I hurt your feelings?

Though you're right in that it plays better than most of the stuff in the collection. Problem being that other than PS4, SoR2, and Sonic 2 none of the stuff in it holds up well.

No. Don't take me seriously in how I word things, just the (in this case), game related context. I just take the openings I see, mang. ;)

She is pretty lousy, though. But I like music that sounds like Agathocles, just to give you context.

Driving back from WV/MD the other day, my iPod (on shuffle) went Amebix->Johnny Cash->Public Enemy->Kylie Minogue->Slapshot. Just scattered my brain, waffle house trash browns style.

[quote name='dallow']Jer does consistently miss the point, myke. :)[/QUOTE]

But he has a PS2! How can I fight that rock solid logic?
 
There are a bunch of interviews on Ultimate Genesis Collection. haven't watched them...but I keep unlocking them.


No manual scans though....'cause Backbone is lazy as shit.
 
[quote name='Rei no Otaku']I guess I'm the only one who doesn't, and never did, think Shinobi arcade was that good.[/quote]


No, I am with you.
Most of these genesis games are better as memories.
Just as most old games should be.

SUGC kinda sucks.
 
The Golden Axe and Phantasy Star games are serious casualties of time. I used to be jealous of Genesis owning friends over these games!

There are some stinkers on there, but Streets of Rage series, Comix Zone, Sonic series, Decap Attack, Shinobi arcade, Shinobi 3, Dynamite Heady, and Vector Man 1+2 are all pretty awesome.


The comp has a serious lack of fucking afterburner though. how the fuck did Fatal Labyrinth make it, but not one of the Afterburner games?
 
Prince Of Persia is so much fun!
I don't understand what peoples problem is...
I'm pretty sure I'm a bit over the halfway point.
I should be done in a couple days, then I'll trade it in for $40!
Collecting Light Seeds blows though.
The conversations between NAMELESS man and Elika are fantastic.
 
[quote name='Halo05']I still love the Golden Axe games. Well, not Golden Axe 3 but shit, no one could've liked that back in 1993.[/quote]You die now.
 
Chrono Trigger DS last night, went from
The Magic Cave
to
the Tyranno place after beating Magus in the Fiendlord's Keep.
Dig it.

Picked up my copy of Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection. I was pretty amazed - there were 3 copies at the store yesterday, and there was only one today. I really don't know who's buying these compilations...

Well, whatever. Can't play the thing till tomorrow and I'll have to use the 360 controller for a while, but it should still be a lot of fun.
 
Hey Rei, gimme the names of 2 songs that an average joe such as myself would enjoy from Lady Goodburger, or whatever her name is. I wanna give her a chance before I make an opinion.

"LoveGame" and "Poker Face" are probably my favorites, but the whole album is good.

Here's an acoustic version of Poker Face which I think I might like better than the original:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwdXnlvUe3I
 
That "Poker Face" video just now? Hated it. She sounded like what's-her-name from SNL when she would play the character who kept yelling she was "FIFTY! FIFTY YEARS OLD!" Plus, it didn't help that she had that glitter shit on her face that all ugly chicks insist on putting on themselves.

"LoveGame" was alright, though. Lady Coocookatchoo seems like one of those artists that I would listen to for a couple of songs, forget about them, then a month or two later, remember that I used to like them, and give them another chance. Kinda like Rihanna.

Analog stick works great as far as what I've played...
 
[quote name='corrosivefrost']Analog stick works great as far as what I've played...[/QUOTE]

Honestly, I just can't stand using the stick for 2D games. I've tried, but I can't do it. I can put up with the 360 controller for another week... hopefully I'll manage to score a fightpad by then.

As far as Lady Gaga goes, yes she looks like a tranny, but I do like that Just Dance song. Guilty.

If there were fighting games or something, that'd be one story, but I'm cool with the analog for platformers and puzzle games and such.

The only thing I would like about the fightpad would be the oldschool genesis button configuration, but I don't need to drop $40 just for a "classic" controller...
 
I was at Circuit City today and they had a 360 for $224. I was so close to getting it, but passed since I can't think of really any exclusives I really wanted to play.

Well besides some of the shmups on XBLA.

I still want it though...don't know why :p
 
[quote name='Jimbo Slice']Monster Hunter?[/QUOTE]
And Phantasy Star Portable.
[quote name='Jimbo Slice']And damn... does Fable II ever get good? I just finished the first dungeon.[/QUOTE]

No.
 
I played Fable 2 co-op with someone awhile ago and saw the ending of the game. Worst ending ever.

It was kinda fun though...maybe. Not fun that I'd pay money to play though.

I'm not Rei, but Paparazzi and Lovegame are my favourites. Just Dance, Poker Face and almost everything else on the album is good as well.
Good fun.

[quote name='Trakan']No.[/QUOTE]

[quote name='zewone']And Phantasy Star Portable.

No.[/QUOTE]

I'm with Trakan, Zew, and Flood -- NO.

[quote name='Rei no Otaku']Yes.[/QUOTE]

You're in the minority... surprise! :p

Good fun.[/QUOTE]I'll probably give most of the album a listen sometime this week if I have the time. She's certainly not the worst artist I've ever heard, but I could definitely hear the studio working in LoveGame.

[quote name='DarthPuma']50 minute epilogue cutscene time![/QUOTE]

Was it really 50 minutes long? The time completely flew by when I was watching it.
 
Fable 2 was ok. Had some high points (wait, did it? I think sleeping with people was the only part that was funny. That and having multiple wives/husbands) but was mostly very glitchy.
It was a very disappointing game, but I got it for free, so I was amused by it. I love when stores start all new trade in programs and have the most insane TIVS!
 
[quote name='zewone']What others?[/quote]


I was expecting someone to ask:

MHF
MHF2
MHF2U
Phantasy Star P
Dungeon Maker
Dungeon Maker 2
Valhalla Knights
Valhalla Knights 2
Dungeon Siege
Untold Legends
Untold Legends II
Marvel UA
X-men (something)
Alien Sydrome
Bounty Hounds
Rengoku
Rengoku II
Warriors of the Lost Empire
Dungeon Explorer


there's others but I forget.
 
[quote name='zewone']Which of those are any good though?

I already have MHF2U and PSP.[/quote]


not everyone will like them since it's a teeth grinding genre but the better ones are:

Valhalla Knights 2
Dungeon Maker 2
Phantasy S P
Dungeon Siege
Marvel UA


it's a niche genre I'll admit, but the PSP is the best fitted for it.

I'm guessing you aren't that far into MHF2U.
