So apparently, there are 40+ e-reader levels for SMB3 GBA, if you include the 30+ from the Japanese-only cards. Did you guys already know this? That's like another half of a game. (Jason) (02:22:06 08/12/10 EST)

I adored Super Mario Bros. 3 on the GBA, it really made me appreciate a game I hadn't played for a long time before that, and made me realize that Super Mario World really isn't all that.

(aerisdead)

(08:57:18 08/12/10 EST)

That's what I thought too!

(Paleface was unimpressed by the SNES)

(16:51:58 08/13/10 EST)

Fuuuuuuuuuuuck!

(SignOfZeta)

(23:46:52 08/12/10 EST)

Couldn't somebody just compile this into a ROM? The eReader was so dumb.

(substance J)

(23:49:32 08/12/10 EST)

They have done that, yes (I think). I need to get a GBA flash cart.

(Jason)

(08:53:46 08/13/10 EST)

I actually have one. Let me know if you find such a ROM, which would really probably just be a ROM of the JP version of the game that included a big save file. This wouldn't be such a problem except for the fact that, inexplicably, there is region lockout on eReader stuff.

(aerisdead)

(12:05:08 08/14/10 EST)

weird, so why does it keep giving an internal server error when I try to post a comment about Harmony of Despair?

(aerisdead)

(12:06:24 08/14/10 EST)

Probably some word in the post is on the secret FORBIDDEN list, so one of my little anti-spam routines just errors out the script. Suck that, spam bot!

(Paleface)

(13:00:31 08/14/10 EST)

Yep, fucking S0ma.

(substance J)

(16:20:04 08/14/10 EST)

Ok, so let me try... So what happened after I left? The time we beat Chapter 3 I was actually trying to head up to re-crank the axe (I think sternski was on his way to help?) but I fell off the platform which was dumb. And right now I've just been messing with S0ma, Alucard and Jonathan and clearly haven't levelled any of them up enough because I was doing like... 10% of the damage of everyone else with Alucard... But then, I only have three souls for him, and can't remember/work out how to get more (just killing baddies?)

(aerisdead)

(20:13:29 08/14/10 EST)

it worked! I played some solo this afternoon and I really need to get Jonathan's damage up. He's at 12 attack right now, though his ball and chain attack thing is awesome.

(aerisdead)

(20:14:19 08/14/10 EST)

Oh man, after you and Zero left we got in with this hella powerful Alucard from Taiwan who was doing about 200 dmg/sec. So we ended up on a speed run from chapter 1 through 5 in about the amount of time it took us all to beat chapter 3.

(substance J)

(20:30:36 08/14/10 EST)

How is that even possible? I wish this game had a normal levelling up system only becuase often when I'm playing all I can think is... am I actually progressing?

(aerisdead)

(23:37:28 08/14/10 EST)

It's pretty straight forward. Basically for S0ma you collect souls, each one affecting a different attribute up to 9x per. Johnathan and Shanoa gain experience on their sub weapon attacks (follow the green bars on the Offense menu). Charlotte's spells gain strength by re-learning them numerous times. I haven't played as Alucard yet but I know he benefits from finding additional copies of each spell.

(substance J)

(00:03:53 08/15/10 EST)

I've been playing Persona 3 Portable lately. It's pretty good...I like the dating sim parts best, but it's not as straightforward as it is in Devil Survivor, which tells you everything explicitly, like what events will take time, or what will end your day, et cetera. You can also gather more than one of each persona type in devil survivor. But it's still good! I am enjoying! It is for PSP! (n/t) (exodus) (03:53:32 08/07/10 EST)

I like Persona 3 a lot, and I've actually been playing this, too. I've been working on "Out of Class Assignment" at my job and had a little extra money, so I picked up some Shin Megami Tensei games after getting into this particular game. I recently got Strange Journey and Devil Summoner (both DS) and think they're quite good. I've played more of Strange Journey and I'm surprised I like it so much since it's so "heavy" and serious. I haven't dug as much into Devil Summoner yet, but it seems cool. Persona 3 portable is a little stripped down from the console game, but it kind of speeds everything up in a way good for portable gaming. I'm playing as the girl, which is a new perspective for PSP. So, anyway, yeah! I agree with Brandon.

(Jeurja)

(10:34:09 08/07/10 EST)

ah, you should have gotten devil SURVIVOR, not summoner!

(exodus)

(13:12:59 08/07/10 EST)

wait, that's probably what you meant...devil summoner didn't come out on DS.

(exodus)

(13:13:47 08/07/10 EST)

Actually, yeah, I meant Survivor. :-)

(Jeurja)

(18:17:00 08/07/10 EST)

I actually started playing the original Persona 3 on PS2 earlier this year and I really loved it. I loved how there was this rhythm to daily life, you'd go to school, talk to friends, maybe do some events... it was neat, like a simulator of an idealized Japanese teenage life (plus demon hunting in the middle of the night) unfortunately I had some other games I needed to play for work and it got lost in the shuffle. I need to go back to it.

(aerisdead)

(11:55:10 08/07/10 EST)

With one post you made me really want this game. Persona 4 taught me that I quite like SMT, and when you started talking about the "daily rhythm" thing, it sealed the deal. I LOVE that. It's why I enjoyed SNES Harvest Moon so much. That's also the reason why I would still like to play the game Jeurja was a raving about a couple of years back. It was a japanese summer vacation simulator or something? I may have invented a new genre there. Anyway, it sounded amazing, starting off the day with a walk through the forest, catching some bugs.

(Mental)

(12:30:54 08/07/10 EST)

Boku no Natsuyasumi.

(Jeurja)

(22:27:33 08/08/10 EST)

Thanks! What are your thoughts on it now, after some time has passed?

(Mental)

(16:41:16 08/09/10 EST)

It is lovely. I guess you could probably get away with just playing ONE of the games, since they're all pretty similar. I have all 4 of them (I have the original for PSP, which is the game that got me hooked on the series, but it was a PSOne game long before). If I had to choose one... I'd probably go with the first one, simply because it seemed like the easiest to get through with little/no Japanese knowledge. They're all really good, though. The first one takes place in the countryside, the second by an ocean, the third on a farm, and the fourth in a small rural town. They were made for PSOne, PS2, PS3, and PSP, respectively, though you can now get 1, 2, and 4 (of course) on PSP. Boku 3 sports REALLY nice prerendered backdrops on PS3. I personally like prerendered graphics in games. I recently got Devil Summoner (hey!) due to my recent love affair with Shin Megami Tensei and that has some really nice prerendered backdrops. Anyway... I say give the first one a shot. If you like it, try out the second and so forth. They're all really good. I actually wrote an article about them for an issue of Game Time that never got published (our "lost" issue, if you will). Maybe I should spruce it up and put it on GameSetWatch...? But I was going to save it for whenever we actually send out another print issue... we were going to do a new one and throw in our "lost" issue as well.

(Jeurja)

(20:28:07 08/09/10 EST)

Do another one!

(aerisdead)

(22:43:07 08/09/10 EST)

print issue, that is.

(aerisdead)

(22:43:36 08/09/10 EST)

Hey you should check out SMT: Strange Journey. It's pretty rad. I didn't think I'd like a game that serious, but it's totally the devil's Pokemon. It's kind of the polar (heh heh... cuz it takes place in Antarctica) extreme of Persona 3 & 4 design-wise, though.

(Jeurja)

(01:05:52 08/11/10 EST)

So Castlevania: Harmony of Despair is surprisingly awesome. It's like a 2D PSO. The interface is awful but the graphics are nice. Bill, Joel and I played it for just about an hour, and it was the most fun I've had playing a Castlevania since Simon's Quest. Yup. (n/t) (Apples) (02:31:36 08/05/10 EST)

HIGH FIVE! I can't wait to see what the higher levels are like.

(substance J)

(03:13:33 08/05/10 EST)

So the time limit isn't detrimental? I plan on getting it but I won't be home for a week. Speaking of things that are surprisingly awesome, Hydro Thunder Hurricane is pretty great. My buddy got it and we proceeded to play it for three hours straight, swapping the controller back and forth to unlock stuff.

(twelvest)

(07:52:39 08/05/10 EST)

Naw, you'll beat most of the stages in 15-20 minutes, at least going by the first two.

(Jeurja)

(00:42:20 08/06/10 EST)

So it seems you don't level your guys, you level their sub weapons to boost your overall attack stats. Food and status items might also have a permanent stat boost, I'm not sure yet. I spent another hour before bed trying Shanoa and S0ma. Found three more routes through the first castle. This game is SO RAD.

(substance J)

(17:17:53 08/05/10 EST)

Also Goemon makes an appearance.

(substance J)

(18:20:00 08/05/10 EST)

Oh and Moai heads too.

(substance J)

(20:52:05 08/05/10 EST)

Woah slow down there kimosabe. Don't leave me in the dust playa!

(Apples)

(21:08:46 08/05/10 EST)

I can't believe this is actually good. And that three of you have it.

(Zero)

(22:47:37 08/05/10 EST)

Believe it, chump.

(substance J)

(23:44:01 08/05/10 EST)

Imagine all red exploding heads in Gamepro. That is this game. ProTip: BUY IT.

(Jeurja)

(00:44:14 08/06/10 EST)

Okay I figured out how to level Charlotte's spells. You have to absorb additional copies of that spell, up to 9 copies each. Then they start getting hella powerful. Shanoa still makes no sense to me, apparently you have to find glyphs in boss chests, but some glyphs can also be absorbed (using magnes? maybe I should have played that Castlevania). I wish this game was a retail release just so it could have full documentation. There's sooooo much shit in here, totally PSO style.

(substance J)

(03:21:11 08/06/10 EST)

I think it's very telling that you, Apples, and I all have compared it to PSO. It's really like a Castlevania-themed take on PSO, in a lot of ways. You keep going through the same areas with friends, picking up money and looking for cool new weapons, having to revive one another against the massive bosses, etc. It's really an amazing game. There will no doubt be plenty of DLC for this game, but that's kind of all Konami needs to do. Just keep adding interesting new stages, tons of new items, and some cool new characters and it's all good. The formula is almost perfect.

(Jeurja)

(10:25:57 08/06/10 EST)

It's like a cross between SOTN, Dracula X, Guardian Heroes and PSO. Best game of the year.

(substance J)

(17:05:57 08/06/10 EST)

Pretty apt description. And yeah, it might be GOTY.

(Jeurja)

(22:43:10 08/06/10 EST)

hmm, that's kind of too bad. I was interested in it, but I'm not a PSO or Monster Hunter fan, nor a guardian heroes fan. a lot of people are asking me to buy/play it, but that sort of makes me not want to. I've got a month or so to decide though, I'll only be home a week in august.

(exodus)

(13:17:17 08/07/10 EST)

I'm just comparing the joy of playing it. I don't get why everyone is so mystified by this game. It's just like every SOTN type Castlevania ever, except instead of one persistent castle you do missions in several different castles, with friends.

(substance J)

(17:11:39 08/07/10 EST)

are people mystified? I've just neither played it nor read about it.

(exodus)

(17:15:10 08/07/10 EST)

They are. And then there's Zero, he's just dumb.

(substance J)

(17:24:28 08/07/10 EST)

So I bought this game, played it single player, played it with other people (5 other dudes, all had mics, all USA USA). You're wrong, this is not game of the year or anything. It's fun enough. More enjoyable than Portrait of Ruin and some other DS/GBA games I've played. I guess if you're thinking $15 is a fair price for a CV that needs friends, that's just better than other games in the series that cost more, then knock yourself out.

(Zero)

(22:57:26 08/07/10 EST)

God you are dumb. Without wasting time to explain why you're wrong, what game has been better this year?

(substance J)

(02:46:16 08/08/10 EST)

I have so much more to mention but it's 3:30 and I just stopped playing this game cause I have to commute an hour and a half to work tomorrow. So many new discoveries I can't type up right now. SO GOOD.

(substance J)

(06:43:46 08/06/10 EST)

I have this downloaded but I'm trying to get rid of the cancer that is Dragon Quest IX first. Just letting you know so you can insult me while playing for never joining in.

(aerisdead)

(11:48:15 08/06/10 EST)

Your friend Jeysen would really like to play this game with you.

(substance J)

(16:56:31 08/06/10 EST)

So I finished Dragon Quest IX (61 hours motherfuckers) and have finally had a wee go of this - literally 20 minutes of single player "wtf is this" before thrown into a game with Jeurja and another. It was pretty fun, although nae cunt revived me after I ran into a iron maiden while they were fighting the boss (I was playing completely zoomed out and didn't spot it.)

(aerisdead)

(15:30:21 08/08/10 EST)

So I got into two 6-player games last night. This was amazing. YOU CAN RATCHET THE HAMMER UP AND SWING IT AGAIN. Alucard worked the lever, Johnathan wound the gears, Shanoa attacked the head, S0ma attacked the knee, and I ran around healing people. AMAZING.

(substance J)

(17:05:08 08/06/10 EST)

I tried this but couldn't get into it. The change in beat from the usual take your time and explore rhythm is really jarring especially because of the interface. Neat idea though.

(Darius)

(17:42:55 08/08/10 EST)

Just went to the Gamestop Dragon Quest IX event. Pretty cool to meet some other DQ freaks. They gave out stickers, a poster and a Slime t-shirt. (Bean) (15:39:37 07/31/10 EST)

I am! I talked to a Gamestop dude and he told me only one store per region was getting the map event. I'm working all day today so unfortunately I wont be able to seek it out. Luckily, I was able to get some sort of exclusive map from the Nintendo booth at Comic Con and I picked up nearly 40 travelers for my Inn in tag mode so I'm happy with that. They were handing out Slime shirts as well and I got one of those but I'll probably never wear it because it's too large and has a big Comic Con logo on the sleeve and I'm the sort of picky asshole who gets really annoyed by that shit. I am extremely envious of your stickers, however. A little Slime or Dracky would most certainly class up my laptop.

(twelvest)

(16:43:35 07/31/10 EST)

Hey, that's my size! Maybe we could work out a trade?

(Mike Chicago)

(13:54:06 08/03/10 EST)

Yeah, absolutely. I actually saw a friend wearing one the other day and it's definitely one of the better video game promo shirts I've seen. I'll send you an e-mail by the end of the day but I am heading out of town tomorrow night so it will probably be a week and a half/two weeks before I can send it out.

(twelvest)

(14:17:49 08/03/10 EST)

Sent you an email that I'm sure is longer than needed. Get back to me with an address by tomorrow and I'll see if I can ship it before I leave. Not too concerned about what I get in return, we can figure it out later.

(twelvest)

(19:37:17 08/03/10 EST)

Im about 7 hours in and pretty happy with it! I tried the first few DQ's a couple years back, and part 4 last year, on DS. Didnt like any of them! Im liking this because it has more than enough to keep me from realizing the INSANE linearity of these games. I love looking for sidequests and the fact theyre so neatly arranged. Searching for treasure! Also, I love how personal all the small stories are. They manage to captivate me far more than the "epic" Final Fantasies Square is throwing out the past 8 years. So yeah, I think ill be able to finish this one for a change.

(Mental)

(12:57:02 08/01/10 EST)

I have to agree, this is probably the most emotional Dragon Quest game yet. There were a couple times during the stories I remember thinking: "brutal".

(Bean)

(13:45:01 08/01/10 EST)

I've nearly played fifty hours because it's really easy to play while the TV's on and stuff. I think I'm pretty close to the end, but I've been grinding (willingly, horrifingly) and doing tons of alchemy. The game is basically an MMO design in a handheld title, it's a pitch-perfect (and, I think, quite evil) design that wraps you entirely up into the treadmill it puts you on so you just want to keep running. When I beat it I'm going to put it down full stop I think because I've tried some of the treasure map dungeons and they're really badly designed/seem to lead to bosses that are really fucking difficult.

(aerisdead)

(21:49:15 08/01/10 EST)

BTW fifty hours is probably the most time I've spent on a game since Final Fantasy VII.

(aerisdead)

(21:50:15 08/01/10 EST)

I would've guessed Madballs: The Babo Invasion.

(substance J)

(06:08:11 08/02/10 EST)

I did beat that! But it was made in Ottawa.

(aerisdead)

(11:29:35 08/02/10 EST)

Im still trying to beat 104 hours on pokemon red. These days (meaning: the past ten years) i play games 10 to 40 hours at most.

(mental)

(15:47:23 08/02/10 EST)

So what is everyone's party make-up? My main is a minstrel turned martial artist at the first opportunity, joined by a warrior/gladiator, backed up by a thief turned ranger at first opportunity and a straight mage (who I expect to turn into a sage, actually.) I really miss the multi-heal ability of a priest but I've tried to concentrate on keeping everyone's damage-dealing ability high. I know I should really try to specialize though (the warrior gladiator really should be playing the part of a tank, for example.) I think the different possible builds are really interesting; I wonder if you can make teams with impossibly high evasion so they never get hit or even stranger ideas.

(aerisdead)

(19:49:32 08/02/10 EST)

I just finished up the bit at Brigadoom so I'm not too far. I plan on playing more heavily on a trip back home in a few days. I'm currently using a priest, mage, thief, and minstrel. So far I'm really interested in the stat balance of my thief and what skills she can pick up later. She deals the heaviest physical damage of anyone in my party.

(twelvest)

(21:20:43 08/02/10 EST)

I have a red mage, a white mage, a black mage, and a purple mage.

(Paleface)

(08:11:51 08/03/10 EST)

I love purple mages. Their grape based offense is wicked delicious.

(twelvest)

(14:12:10 08/03/10 EST)

But not magically delicious--that would be copyright infringement.

(Paleface)

(18:52:06 08/03/10 EST)

Woah, I just read this post without reading the rest of the discussion and now I'm under the impression that aerisdead likes put on some kind of combination of blackface and yellowface when he goes to a party.

So on the Monkey Board people were talking about NGP demo cartridges. Tell me more about 'em! (n/t) (Paleface) (21:18:51 07/29/10 EST)

They were prototypes with white paper labels. I used to have pictures of them but I lost a ton of files from the past 10 years on a stupid Seagate harddrive including my whole images folder that I neglected to backup.

(Comic-Kaze)

(00:47:54 07/30/10 EST)

So were they full games, cut-down versions of full games, or what?

(Paleface)

(02:53:01 07/30/10 EST)

I thought they were multi-carts for demo units. I actually have no idea what Kaze is talking about.

(substance J)

(04:29:36 07/30/10 EST)

'Zat mean multiple full/partial games on a single cart?

(Paleface)

(20:58:29 07/30/10 EST)

I'm not sure we ever really knew.

(SignOfZeta)

(14:13:08 07/30/10 EST)

About half of them were complete games and the rest were cut-down in some way. Only one that I know of was a multicart: King of Fighters: R-1 and Melon-chan's Growth Diary (I don't know whether they were full or cut-down versions of those two games). Check the link inside to my Neo Poke software FAQ, which deals with the demo carts in questions 43 and 44.

(Sweater Fish Deluxe and Opa Opa)

(17:43:16 07/31/10 EST)

I clearly remember trying to buy the Rockman Demo Cart on Ebay but obviously failed. I grabbed pictures of all the ones that I ever found for sale but those pics and my archive of NGPC curiosities is mostly gone.

(Comic-Kaze)

(21:21:06 07/31/10 EST)

A couple like Samurai Shodown had a couple differences from the final versions. I think 3 or 4 of them were like that. I would love to get the Official MP3 player cart I saw at E3.

Wait, didn't we have a whole discussion about this sort of thing, and didn't you say you had never had an HD failure?

(SignOfZeta)

(14:11:13 07/30/10 EST)

Obviously that was before this happened. Once in 15 years isn't a bad record but it just sucks because this harddrive is the drive that ended up being the archive of all the harddrives I've ever had since my 386. My stupid 80 megabyte Seagate HDD from my 386 still works though.

So I got a N64 for 12 euros at a trift store. (it has the memory expansion pack) Recommend me some games. Beware that FPS and 3D platform games make me sick to the bone!included games:Killer Instinct, 2x Banjo Kazooje and All- Star baseball 2000. (n/t) (Atarianallstar) (15:17:39 07/15/10 EST)

Beetle Adventure Racing.

(substance J)

(00:05:42 07/16/10 EST)

I dunno if you're joking or not but I remember that game being damn fun. I was going to suggest it but seeing as how it seems my memory failed me on the R-Type 3 port suggestion below, I passed.

(twelvest)

(00:38:20 07/16/10 EST)

I meant it as a joke, and not for real.. I've never played it. Only N64 game I liked was... none of them.

(Apples)

(00:40:33 07/16/10 EST)

WTF, your joke reply happens to be one of my all-time favorite N64 games.

(Jason)

(15:27:00 07/16/10 EST)

I kinda figured he was joking. The title doesn't do a whole lot to make it sound like a must play game but it's good.

(twelvest)

(15:45:51 07/16/10 EST)

Yeah, your joke answer is accidentally a super fun game.

(PopaSmear)

(12:48:13 07/18/10 EST)

Rocket: Robot on Wheels.

(aerisdead)

(01:09:35 07/16/10 EST)

I think the Goemon games are pretty rad on N64.

(Jeurja)

(01:34:00 07/16/10 EST)

I had no idea they made a second one. Until last night when I bought it. I can't wait! The clips on Youtube look freaking awesome.

(substance J)

(06:41:01 07/16/10 EST)

Did you ever get the Goemon game for DS? I like that one quite a bit.

(Jeurja)

(09:51:39 07/16/10 EST)

They didn't translate it though, huh? I really fancied it but I thought the language barrier was going to be way too much for me.

(aerisdead)

(12:15:04 07/16/10 EST)

I was able to somehow do okay in it... but I think it does have a bit of a language barrier.

(Jeurja)

(21:06:22 07/16/10 EST)

Namco Museum 64, Bust-A-Move '99, Pokemon Puzzle League, Mario Party. NFL Blitz is awesome. Bring your homemade plays to the arcade in a memory card.

(Mike Chicago)

(01:37:11 07/16/10 EST)

One of my favorite N64 exclusives was Mischief Makers by Treasure.

(Darius)

(02:08:15 07/16/10 EST)

Uh, an N64 is even worse then a Jaguar when it comes down to playable games for me. After a day of scouring the web these are the games that I will try to hunt down: Space Station Sillicon Valley Goemons Great ADVENTURE Michief Makers Kirby 64 Rakuga Kids Robotron64 Paper Mario Rember that I can only play pal games on this thing there is no easy way to import.

(Atarianallstar)

(02:41:33 07/16/10 EST)

Agreed.

(Mike Chicago)

(03:56:56 07/16/10 EST)

You're lucky in this case that practically every English language N64 game got an EU release, but also several Japanese games got EU exclusive releases. Rakuga Kids is one of those. I wonder how easy that is to locate. I assume on eBay it sells for over $100.

(substance J)

(06:39:59 07/16/10 EST)

Good call on Kirby. It's nice!

(Jeurja)

(09:51:18 07/16/10 EST)

Space Station Silicon Valley is the bomb. I think Mystical Ninja Goemon is more fun than Goemon's Great Adventure, but they're totally different games, so get both if you can. The last time I had my N64 hooked up I got really into Star Wars: Battle For Naboo. I'd say it's a lot better than Rogue Squadron, but most people seem to prefer that one since it's part of the old Star Wars series instead of the newer one. I've never really played Wetrix very much, but there are some great puzzle games on the N64, especially Tetrisphere (amazing!) and The New Tetris which is totally different than The Next Tetris and much better.

(Sweater Fish Deluxe and Opa Opa)

(17:44:11 07/17/10 EST)

OK. I have literally just delved back into N64 games. This mood has been building for a while and finally last night I bought like 6 games on eBay. The prices are not as inflated as I feared, but a little steeper than they should be. I assume the prices will only rise... unless the world economy crashes. In which case I'll have no money for N64 games anymore, so BUY BUY BUY! OK, here is what I recommend.

(substance J)

(06:34:50 07/16/10 EST)

Oh, and Wetrix. A topographical puzzle game where you have to build mountains to keep all your water from spilling away. Really fun.

(substance J)

(06:36:57 07/16/10 EST)

I didn't know they had that on N64. I have the DC version. I'm awful at it.

(Paleface)

(09:40:59 07/16/10 EST)

They made a sequel for it as well on the PS2 called Aqua Aqua. I love the concept but it's definitely freakin' hard. I don't think I know anyone who's actually good at it.

(twelvest)

You had a chance and you missed it, chump.

(substance J)

(17:58:18 07/16/10 EST)

I bought lylat wars today for 4 euros. I kinda like on rails shooters. What is so great about Rush or Top Gear Rally? (Both were @ the retro store today) People mention them often but I have no Idea about the difference in racing games.

(Atarianallstar)

(17:39:48 07/16/10 EST)

Well Rush is Atari, so you need it! And it's the only racing game where you fly off hills in San Francisco. Top Gear Rally is a basic offroad game with really great kind of new wavey music and mildly depressing atmosphere. It's pretty unique.

(substance J)

(17:57:46 07/16/10 EST)

Well these probably didn't come out in PAL I guess but if they did: Bangaioh and Sin and Punishment.

(Paleface)

(09:43:30 07/16/10 EST)

Beetle Adventure Racing (for reals)... it's a Rush-style game with some really good tracks 1080 Snowboarding Wave Race Banjo Kazooie... mainstream yes, but it's really good

(Jason)

(15:30:46 07/16/10 EST)

I would reccomend Wave Race, because its totally great, but the Cube Version is basically better. Pokemon Puzzle League is super good, but not any better than the Cube version (Panel de Pon in the Nintendo Puzzle Collection) and is inferior to the SNES version (Tetris Attack). Bangaio got ported, twice. Um...that Wetrix game actually is kind of cool, but not worth owning a door stop for. The N64 really blows.

(SignOfZeta)

(00:53:14 07/17/10 EST)

So, Beetle Adventure Racing, basically.

(SignOfZeta)

(00:54:25 07/17/10 EST)

The thing is, if you like Beetle Adventure Racing then there's at least a dozen more racers in the same vein that you should like, too. The N64 is completely unrivaled in that category of games. For me, all those racers is enough reason to own the system right there.

(Sweater Fish Deluxe and Opa Opa)

(17:29:41 07/17/10 EST)

I really don't care all that much for those types of games, especially ones from Rare and Atari. I certainly don't need a dozen of the things. I do enjoy the Thunder games once in a while, but they are much better in the arcade and, also, they are on DC, right? I know Hydro Thunder is.

(SignOfZeta)

(18:51:12 07/17/10 EST)

Huh I was going to say Hydro was the only Thunder game on DC, but GameFAQs also lists a "4 Wheel Thunder," also published by Midway, with one glowing user review. Hadn't heard of the game before. Ooh let's see what YouTube has on it (inside...) The hazy brown of that track isn't as interesting as most Hydro Thunder stages, but gameplay-wise it doesn't look half bad. The GameFAQs user review says it was formerly called "Xleration," but I don't see an arcade game by that name--so was this a console-only game?

(Paleface)

(02:00:42 07/18/10 EST)

This suddenly jogged my memory. Sega made this really cool monster truck rally type game called Dirt Devils, I think, right around this same time. I played it in one arcade before it disappeared. I wonder if it was officially distributed in the US. It's a damn shame all their big attraction type games of that era never got ported to Dreamcast (and damn were there a lot of them) though I do wonder if they'd be any fun without a big machine to sit in.

(substance J)

(03:01:27 07/18/10 EST)

"18 Wheeler: American Pro Trucker" wasn't.

(Paleface)

(04:52:36 07/18/10 EST)

No shit. That was a not very fun home experience. I think Brave Firefighters would be pretty lame too. This is why I was perplexed that they released Jambo Safari for Wii a while back. It had a decent gameplay mechanism, but it was REALLY simplistic, even for an arcade game. Is also really politically incorrect, to be honest. Kicking the shit out of giraffes and such.

(SignOfZeta)

(18:11:05 07/22/10 EST)

Are you ever going to come clean with your super secret super mega gun plans for Gunblade on Wii? I'm dying to know.

(substance J)

I have rough plans, but I need the game to come out first.

(SignOfZeta)

(00:35:43 07/26/10 EST)

Like what? I'd like to know about more games like B.A.R.

(Jason)

(15:35:15 07/19/10 EST)

Top Gear Overdrive, Cruisin', Rush, Extreme G... basically any of them.

(substance J)

(20:25:37 07/19/10 EST)

...California Speed, Roadsters, Ridge Racer 64, Stunt Race 64...

(20:31:05 07/19/10 EST)

Excitebike 64

(PopaSmear)

(21:01:38 07/19/10 EST)

I forgot to mention Excitebike 64 (very fun). As for Cruisin'... nothing at all like B.A.R.

(Jason)

(23:12:57 07/19/10 EST)

FUCK YOU. Oh, and also, F-Zero X is the best F-Zero game, far and away.

(substance J)

(02:16:32 07/17/10 EST)

I'm not an F Zero fan. I'm not really a fan of any of those floaty hovercar games where smacking the wall 50 times a lap seems to be part of normal gameplay. However my favorite version of F Zero is F Zero AC. Specifically the machine at Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum, which lacks the seat belt, making it extremely hard not to just be thrown from the seat since it banks pretty hard.

(SignOfZeta)

(14:32:58 07/17/10 EST)

(PopaSmear)

(03:01:48 07/19/10 EST)

Well I mostly agree with that, but the N64 Bangioh *is* the best version.

(Paleface)

(03:30:33 07/17/10 EST)

Have you actually played the DS one?

(SignOfZeta)

(03:47:23 07/17/10 EST)

Yeah, briefly.

(Paleface)

(20:41:07 07/17/10 EST)

The DS one is really good, but they made the maps more puzzle-y.

(Jason)

(23:19:20 07/19/10 EST)

Although the Cube version is really good and maybe even better overall, I prefer the way the 64 version controls.

(Jason)

(23:15:48 07/19/10 EST)

All those Cube updates like Wave Race Blue Storm, 1080 Avalanche, F-Zero GX... something felt a little off to me.

(substance J)

(04:41:33 07/20/10 EST)

There is something "off" about the GC Wave Race, but I still prefer it just because the graphics are so much better. The water is clearer, the visibility is better, etc, and these things go a long way in a jet ski game, IMO.

(SignOfZeta)

(20:39:43 07/22/10 EST)

Fuck! I forgot Pilotwings 64. I fucking LOVED that game.

(SignOfZeta)

(23:11:07 07/18/10 EST)

Wanted: Opinions/reminders of good shooters on handhelds. Need stuff to play at work. Must be on GB, Swan, NGP (heh), DS or PSP. Reminder: a "shooter" is either side scrolling or vertical. Doom/Quake/etc is not a shooter, neither is Time Crisis. Also, nothing European, please. (n/t) (SignOfZeta) (22:37:02 07/14/10 EST)

These are probably obvious but Gradius Galaxies and the R-Type 3 port for GBA are really nice. I'm not huge on Gradius but Galaxies gets the job done. R-Type 3 I love. Other than that I really don't know of anything you wouldn't (like Cotton on the NGP). There was a score attack bullet hell type vertical shooter released for DSiWare recently but I have no idea if it is any good.

(twelvest)

(23:19:29 07/14/10 EST)

I heard the R-Type III port sucked!

(aerisdead)

(00:24:23 07/15/10 EST)

I'm pretty sure twelvest specifically told me not to buy it once. He's gone rogue.

(substance J)

(04:08:07 07/15/10 EST)

I don't think so, but it's possible. At this point I could be letting my love of the original confuse me. I don't have a copy of the GBA port here to check out. I know I was disappointed they took out the cheesy launch sequence. Anyways, I can definitely vouch for Gradius Galaxies. I played a little of that after I made the above post and it's still rad.

(twelvest)

(14:35:17 07/15/10 EST)

If I still had my GameBoy Pocket, I'd pick up Solar Striker. For me, Cotton on the NGPC all the way. So vivid. (Could be brighter.)

(Mike Chicago)

(00:56:33 07/15/10 EST)

Gradius Galaxies on GBA is very good, and I'm not really a Gradius fan. I would think the PSP is the way to go though. Unless all those Parodius, Gradius, Salamander, Hudson and Sengoku collections are stupidly expensive already.

(substance J)

(04:06:59 07/15/10 EST)

I had one of the collections on psp. It was not fun due to the controls (version used: 2000)

What?

(substance J)

(16:54:30 07/15/10 EST)

(Zero)

(18:39:50 07/15/10 EST)

Is this some kind of PSP joke I'm not aware of? How bad could the controls be in a horizontal shooter?

space invaders extreme II, star soldier as paleface said, not sengoku cannon no matter how much you may want to try... but really I haven't liked a handheld shooter that much.

(20:42:55 07/17/10 EST)

I though Space Invaders Extreme II was only on DS. I love the first one, on PSP particularly.

I think that's right, but exodus wasn't contradicting it.

(Paleface)

(09:07:16 07/21/10 EST)

The first ones that come to my mind are Steel Empire on the GBA (admittedly, I haven't played it a lot, but it does seem true to the Genesis version which is a lovely game) and Nemesis on the Gameboy.

(Sweater Fish Deluxe and Opa Opa)

(17:52:22 07/17/10 EST)

And if you're including the PSP, why not just play SNES, PC Engine, Genesis and Neo Geo shooters via emulation?

Yeah, what he said.

Weird I've been coming across this SNK/PSP news lately, (although I suppose anyone keeping their PSP updated knows this already), but: "Sony's new PSP firmware v6.30 added PC-Engine and NeoGeo folders under the game section, it seems classic titles from these two consoles will be coming soon." (MagicBox) (n/t) (Paleface) (07:17:10 07/05/10 EST)

I was wondering when someone was going to post this.

(Apples)

(12:47:36 07/05/10 EST)

I haven't upgraded my firmware in at least a year because I have yet to manually go back in and hack official firmware into my PSP in order to upgrade. Nintendo just says, "Hey, our new firmware is probably going to break all your pirate shit, just so you know" before you upgrade. Sony on the other hand just decides to stop selling you games since you are obviously a bad customer. Guess who's games I buy more of? I did buy Castlevania Chronicles for $7.50 at TRU though.

(SignOfZeta)

(18:33:34 07/05/10 EST)

Well, this reply is unexpected. The moment i saw the two new folders on my psp, i thought "zeta will love this.". I demand some enthusiasm young man.

(mental)

(20:20:58 07/05/10 EST)

Neo Geo and PC Engine have been playable on PSP for years, just not officially. The best way to play PC Engine is to hack Yuna or Tengai Makyo collections to accept external ROMs since those collections use a PCE emu made by Hudson themselves. I haven't gotten that into the Neo Geo side of things, but I'm sure its well sorted.

(SignOfZeta)

(14:09:33 07/06/10 EST)

Ah, that explains it.

(mental)

(04:58:53 07/07/10 EST)

I don't understand the difference as far as you've explained it here.

(Paleface)

(03:00:04 07/06/10 EST)

The difference is I can't download anything from the Playstation Store without going through the bother of researching how to put OEM firmware on my PSP. If I had hacked my Wii (which I haven't) I could buy anything I wanted from the Wiishop, it would just deactivate my softmod.

(SignOfZeta)

(14:07:07 07/06/10 EST)

Oh and I haven't updated my firmware either because I haven't been playing my PSP or buying new stuff for it. Poor thing.

(Paleface)

(03:01:37 07/06/10 EST)

But I want to play TurboGrafx-16 on Dreamcast! I've read bad reviews of PCE emulators on DC, but then again, I read TERRIBLE reviews of DreamSNES for 10 years, and it's pretty good (without sound, for many games, anyway), I finally realize. Looking mainly to play New Adventure Island on my TV.

"Metal Gear Solid 3D Snake Eater The Naked Sample" ... Just when I thought they couldn't make a title that made any *less* sense. (n/t) (Jason) (04:26:17 06/19/10 EST)

Just straight-up porn.

(Paleface)

(01:57:28 06/20/10 EST)

Although I know you're partially kidding, it's actually a pretty logical name. It's a remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. Add the "D" and you get a cool extra a la "64" or "Super" which I loved in those generations. Remakes almost always get a new subtitle, which in this case is The Naked Sample. Silly? Yes. But it does make sense! Ha! Also; Paper Mario 3DS!

(Mental LOVED the added Super and 64. Super Star Wars! Super Metroid! Mario 64! WipeOut 64!)

It's basically DJ Max Fever for the Asian region as far as I can tell, hopefully based on the updated PSN version (not everything is fixed, but Animal Crew's mission fix and the Ruby Spinel Gear fix are two noteworthy ones). Anyway, I think it's worth it for the new CDs and extra goodies.

Damn dude, I wish I could've. My best friend is getting married and it's hard to afford the things relating to it, let alone games in general. If I don't end up getting it right quick you better post your impression, especially comparisons to Fever and if there's Auto-Correction and what-have you.

Okay, I'll come back here just for that :) I should have it before the end of the month I think.

Also, did you order the DJ Max Technica 2 OST Signature Collection? I got mine in the mail on its way to me and arriving within the next week hopefully.

(NeoGutsman)

(04:21:01 06/04/10 EST)

Since it's just an OST, it's a lot easier for me to resist the urge to buy it (so much so that there isn't any). If it was with a game, then it would be much harder, but admittedly it's hard for me to get behind the PC games since they were once mostly free.

(Zero)

(01:45:51 06/05/10 EST)

You probably made a wise choice. I've been listening to the two disks and the Technika 2 songs, which are almost all new to my ears, sound... playable. Without seeing them in gameplay context, though, they just seem like plain music, if that makes any sense. The second disk has remixes of all sorts of DJM tracks, many of which are quite good, and others rather transformative (in a generally good way) of their original incarnation. The bonus goodies are neat, but I doubt I'll really ever use them unless we get one of the machines in Seattle. Overall, not a bad price for a double-disk OST with goodies, especially considering the card is actually useful. Could you live without it? You bet.

(NeoGutsman)

(15:24:01 06/10/10 EST)

oh, I want that

(exodus)

(03:14:10 06/07/10 EST)

Okay, quick first impressions of Hot Tunes. First, this is NOT a pure rehash of Fever. The song list has a lot of differences so far, most of which I'm quite pleased by (tracks from P1 and P2 that weren't in Fever). Second, the front end menu uses P1's interface, but the rest is essentially P2/Fever. I think they did this so that they could get around "Link Disk" still being hidden in Fever's front end menu (hold down the L and R shoulder buttons for a few seconds to see what I mean). And third, the MV Edition video mode reflects the songs that I assume are in Hot Tunes (that are available at start - haven't unlocked other songs yet). So, if you're looking for a different mix of P1 and P2 songs, Hot Tunes has you covered in general. The Limited Edition set is RAD, though I think the paperback scorekeeping booklet is a huge waste (why not artwork?). I haven't listened to the three CD's included yet, but I will soon. That is all for now!

(NeoGutsman)

(14:29:52 06/17/10 EST)

Do you have DJMP and DJMP2? I'm wondering if there's any point to getting it if I already have those old ones.

(Zero)

(22:54:46 06/17/10 EST)

Yeah, I own all the DJM games, including Trilogy. I'd say that no, if you already own the first two, then Hot Tunes isn't really essential. Having said that, HT not only removes Green Notes (I thought they were kinda pointless, but they didn't bother me), it also removes auto-correct. I'm level 13 as of this morning, so I'm enjoying it overall. Anyway, maybe just wait for P3. I read a rumor that it may include a lot of Technika-exclusive songs, which I hope is true!

Howdy, does anyone have a spare copy of MOTM US or a pair of games that have multiplayer (link cable) support? I could buy em off you or you can lend em for my online NGPC multiplayer project :-). I've gotten the link to work with fatal fury (the only cheapo games I had 2 copies of), but I need to test it with more games before making the project public. They'll be returned within a month ;-).

hey exodus, I saw you playing Mamotte Knight the other night. What do you think of it? Does difficulty ramp up much faster later on? (n/t) (yoodaa) (13:24:42 05/18/10 EST)

it's super awesome!!! it never gets that tough to be honest, but when you have four people it does get harder and you have to be more coordinated. Difficulty seems to be based on the number of players. Also it's very short, so be aware of that. like 10 stages maybe. I was playing on my friend's 360 but I'm gonna buy it when I get home anyway...it's really fun and cute and the engrish is endearing and the classes are all fun in their own ways. Is recommend!

(exodus)

(15:19:43 05/18/10 EST)

Wow, this is pretty great! Messed with it for a bit last night and then checked out the tracks on the music player. In the preview video the mock box has 001 in the corner and I really hope they continue making games in this vein. As far as retro revival shit goes this is one of the best yet, I think. The awesome music helps a lot but the ease of pick up and play is fantastic. That's why I like old systems so damn much. Should have people to play this with tonight, pretty psyched to check out multiplayer.

Hey, I was just reading a completely incomprehensible english as a second language-esque writeup of this game by Simon Carless yesterday. And last night I noticed somebody left a Game Developer mag in my room, so I was flipping through that and noticed he's the publisher. I pretty much have to hate this game now, dang!

(substance J)

(16:43:09 05/18/10 EST)

he's the boss of the whole game group basically... but yeah I'm not sure why anything anyone says or anything to do with my magazine would make you like or dislike this game! It is fun with multiple people.

(exodus)

I only just noticed your XBL voice message, sorry! You only play with one character at a time, and level them up - to have four characters you need four players. Also counter to what some have said, it's not tower defense-like at all - you can build barricades and catapults but it's all controlled directly.

(exodus)

(13:18:36 05/19/10 EST)

Thanks for the feedback. I thought I accidentally cancelled out of sending the message and it didn't go through. I'm still working on my backlog of games from over the holidays (yeah, spent too long on Borderlands), but will be getting this as a nice distraction. I'm liking the xblig games that have been coming out. Breath of Death VII was a nice throwback.

(Atarianallstar) (06:57:23 05/09/10 EST)

hey dude - I haven't gotten it, but it actually got finished because we featured it in Game Developer magazine - he hadn't worked on it in 8 months, but we mentioned it in there and it inspired him to get it done :) It's definitely air zonk inspired, and looks really cool, but I don't have a lynx, so I just didn't try for it.

Guys, I honestly never thought I'd say this, but... it's been a fun ride while it lasted.

I saw the Famitsu page and it was Kyo, Iori, Athena, Iroha, Marco, and some other moe-ish type character(s) that I can't remember. Marco sort of tricks you into being impressed, but not as much as say, Mudman would. The choices seem hella Playmore style.

I think I remember Kyo, Iori, and Athena from screeshots of Sky Stage. Akari's shown as new, but yeah not exactly mindblowing choices. That "Girl of Puzzle" moe chick (Googling her name in Japanese did bring up some pages with "moe" in the url :p) is puzzling me though: it gives the source as "ASO," which I would think is "Armored Scrum Object," aka Alpha Mission. But as far as I can tell from Google & GameFAQs, there are no particular characters in Alpha Mission. Huh...unless maybe it's a generic chick they use for menu presentations or something? Hm ah wait, apparently it also translates as "Mysterious Girlfriend." Bah I'm not getting anywhere with this.

Double Dragon was the only one I owned. I paid $20 for it at Kay Bee Toys back in '90 or something. It was garbage but it was MY garbage and I did manage to beat it during a long bus ride in 5th or 6th grade on a field trip. I think it played a jingle or something while the screen flashed.

(Esco)

(01:42:39 04/30/10 EST)

Remember that HUGE After Burner LCD game they made with a throttle and joystick? I wanted that thing SO BAD when I was ten. I also remember debating getting the R-Zone handheld just because it was cheap. Had no idea it took 4 D batteries though.

OK, some of these are baffling. Symphony of the Night?

(14:55:19 04/30/10 EST)

There was also some kind of weird "VR" version of the R-Zone where you strapped this thing to your head that had a screen in front of one eye. One eye! What the fuck could possibly have been the point of that? I found one at a thrift store once before I knew what it was and must have spent like 10 minutes trying to figure out what it was supposed to be. At last, I decided it must be broken and tossed it back on the shelf. Oh...the regret gnaws at me to this day.

didn't a lot of them have all the graphics on the blister pack?

(exodus)

(04:20:36 05/01/10 EST)

I think for most of them it was just a sample scene. I do seem to remember there usually being a picture showing them all in the manual, usually in regards to changing batteries. I always loved making it all show up at once, too. I think you had to let it "cool down" for a few minutes before it would actually do it again.

(twelvest)

(14:41:13 05/01/10 EST)

the way I would interact with these was either when they were broken at somebody's house, or broken at a thrift store. I couldn't afford one new. OH WAIT! I did get one once, a ghosts n goblins one. I guess I liked it? But the best LCD game I had was one my dad got at a thrift store...it's still fun to me today. Frisky Tom!

(exodus)

(12:24:28 04/30/10 EST)

Mine was Batman. I found out much later it played the same as the Shinobi Tiger handheld. Not really surprising I guess, take an existing game and slap a new graphics set on it to go with the property. It was a bit unique for the Tiger LCD handhelds (or at least I thought so as a kid) and the game took place on two planes/rails. I also enjoyed the original Football and I'm pretty sure you can still buy that one today.

(twelvest)

(14:50:39 04/30/10 EST)

wow, those look really neat!!!

(exodus)

(14:56:58 04/30/10 EST)

Sadly, it seems really hard to find any info on them other than those pictures. I'm not even sure what the price of something like that would be but I do try to find Monster Burger every once in a while. That one in particular interests me because as far as I can tell it's a unique game, not a port like Mr. Do, and because it has a picture of a green robot kicking a pink dinosaur in the stomach on the box. Or they are having a dance party with ice cream and burgers. Can't be certain!

(twelvest)

(15:25:45 04/30/10 EST)

isn't that mr. do not really like the original though? I didn't play either...

(exodus)

(04:22:16 05/01/10 EST)

That quick animation in the lower right makes it look like it attempts Mr. Do fairly admirably for an old handheld. It retains the "collect all cherries and attack with a ball" gameplay of the original. It probably gets rid of the Dig Dug like path creating aspect, though. "Port" was probably a poor word to use.

(twelvest)

(14:38:42 05/01/10 EST)

Those use vacuum flourescent displays. Those handhelds were simply the best before the cheap LCD display ones. I wish more of them were made. I have this Coleco Pac-Man Mini Arcade with Vacuum Flourescent display.

Yeah, I know. It's simple but it really makes the colors pop. Those Tomy ones look a bit more vibrant in pictures but I'm sure the effects of time have dulled the overlays a bit. I've played the Coleco Pac Man before. The Eat & Run mode is pretty fun for a bit!

oh, I used to have that, as well as donkey kong. I wish I still had them, not sure where they went.

(04:22:40 05/01/10 EST)

I had a couple of nintendos: Zelda, donkey kong 2 and tropical fish. The very best one is Climber (my sister had it).

(05:34:50 05/01/10 EST)

Compared to the Tiger handhelds a lot of the G&Ws were magnitudes better and most were made earlier. The best reasoning I have is that they didn't try to go beyond the limits of the technology. The dual screen Zelda and the Mario one aeris talks about are still a fun way to kill a little time, I think.

(twelvestep)

(14:44:47 05/01/10 EST)

I definitely had a couple of these, but I have no memories of them. The only ones I remember is my Super Mario Bros. 3 watch, which I got one Christmas and had absolutely mastered by Christmas dinner, disappointingly (I immediately began to regret I didn't go for the Zelda one, or maybe the Tetris one.) The other LCD game I remember strongly also was the Game & Watch Super Mario Bros. which I cherished and wonder where on earth it went (must have been thrown out by my mum.) Again, once I had mastered it it was a bit boring, the problem with these games was always that they never speed up quickly enough; it's like the way the original Geometry Wars is nigh unplayable because it takes about five minutes till it's actually a challenge, and then it's so immediately challenging it's infuriating.

(aerisdead)

(17:45:52 04/30/10 EST)

Never had one; I always thought the ones that looked kinda like mini arcade cabs were sort of nifty-looking, but it in more of a theoretical/aesthetic way than a "something I'd want to play" way.

(Paleface)

(04:22:46 05/01/10 EST)

oh, I should also mention that my coworker's boyfriend bought him a crappy LCD car racing game as part of a bunch of xmas stuff just so he could say he got him a game thing - and it's the game we play the most in the office. it's pretty easy but it's fun to mindlessly do while talking to someone about something inane.

So last night J and I played some Dead or Alive and DoA2 in honor of the killing of the original Live service. DoA2 was actually pretty fun. More fun then we ever had playing DoA4. Which got me thinking, what are some times you had fun playing some fighting games? Alternatively: Fighting-game Memories - Share them!(inside) (Zero) (09:55:47 04/13/10 EST)

I haven't played a Virtua Fighter since Fighters Megamix, which was astonishingly, treacly slow. I never seem to get excited enough when a new VF comes out to run out and buy it, even though the last one I was quite interested in. Just didn't bother. And it's the same for Tekken, haven't played it since... 2? Maybe I played Tag Tournament (or something like that) in the arcades once. I have the PSP one though, keep thinking about giving it a go but then don't bother.

(aerisdead)

(13:09:46 04/13/10 EST)

Fighters Megamix might be one of my favorite 3D fighters. I wonder if it'll ever get a port of some kind. I guess tied would be VF4Evo. And to be honest, I have no idea what it is that I loved Evo so much, yet really really didn't like the first version.

(Zero)

(13:28:56 04/13/10 EST)

My suspicion is that the PAL version was 50hz and made it just awful, but it's one of the most disappointing fighters I've ever played.

(aerisdead)

(13:41:44 04/13/10 EST)

Its not the fastest fighter ever, but the US/JP version is faster than VF2.

(SignOfZeta)

(11:27:40 04/14/10 EST)

I've always had a hard time finding someone I match up with well in fighting games; usually one is better than the other and starts to dominate and it isn't that fun; or the other person just does fireball/uppercut all the time, which I don't find fun. I guess there was this one time where I was playing a friend in one of the Vampire games; it was his cab so I thought I was gonna get creamed, but I was using the Sasquatch dude who has some simple and tricky to avoid attacks, and we had some pretty good fights.

(Paleface)

(20:22:06 04/13/10 EST)

Yeah, that tends to happen to me as well. I have one friend that's all about 2D/Street Fighter related games, but for some reason it was never competitive nor fun, more of a timewaster. He's the only person I played Mark of the Wolves with, and he beat me the one or two matches we played, because I was too busy trying to use the system mechs while he just tried to beat me up. Actually, that seems to be the case when trying to do counters with sJ on DoA2.

SFII arcade: walking, riding bikes, hitching rides to the nearest machines, and knowing when and where to find an open one. Getting quizzed by shop owners about why we weren't in school. High Five Pizza getting mad at us for always locking up their machine with the handcuff glitch. SFII SNES: Release day. Fighting M. Bison for over an hour. World Heroes: Beating it with one credit. Virtua Fighter, Toshinden, Tekken: halcyon afternoons spent alone indoors.

(Darius)

(18:51:51 04/15/10 EST)

When SFII hit the SNES, my friends Josh, Vince, and I played it all summer. Vince wasn't very good at video games, but once he beat Josh with Dhalsim then started mimicking Dhalsim's win dance (where his head goes back and forth and he waves his arms above his head). Josh threw his controller, turned off the SNES, and told Vince to GTFO of his house. Good times.

I think the NNGPC is the perfect size really. A shame Mash doesn't do frontlights anymore.

(Plus, I don't really care for Costume Packs) ALSO: I caved and bought my first game since January.

As it happens, a ton of stuff got released on PSN this week, and I was lured into getting "Anarchy: [something I forget]," a crazy $8 Burnout rip-off made by Russians; the car control is pretty bad, the dialogue is laughably awful, and the AI is atrocious, but there seems to be a lot to do, you get points for smashing into things, and sometimes cars around you just seem to explode spontaneously. Oh, and watching the AI drive is hilarious, because they have no regard for the plentiful street traffic whatsoever. So far I'm enjoying it immensely in a "so bad its good" way. I also finally got "Zen Pinball" because they just released a downloadable table that seems pretty awesome, and they have two other DLC tables (Street Fighter and Ninja Gaiden) that seem pretty good, too--better than the original four tables, anyway. Oh and I just now finally got around to finishing the last world in Shatter, which was a bit of a chore.

what I've heard a thousand times is that it doesn't get fun until hour 12, and then it gets un fun again. We'll see how far I get, I really don't need to play a final fantasy when I haven't finished fallout 3 or mass effect or the dragon age expansion.

(exodus)

(14:22:42 03/30/10 EST)

I'm about 18 hours in, somewhere between chapter seven and eight. As soon as the game opens up classes and paradigms I found the battle system to become a lot of fun and it's honestly what's pushing me through the game. The story is cringe worthy at points but the characters are all slowly growing on me with the exception of Hope. I liked Lightning and Sazh pretty much from the get-go. It's not mind blowing but it's better than I expected.

(aerisdead)

(19:49:56 04/07/10 EST)

It's not "good" like Modern Warfare 2, or "good" like Modern Warfare, or "good" like 50 Cent. It's rarely good. And part of that reason is how everyone is portrayed, and how I'm sure most of these basketball people were probably just fine with it, or actually liked it. It's a game that will make you hate the entire current culture of a sport. And because of it's close association with one particular race, that race as well. It's a game worth playing through not because it's good at all, or that it itself is redeeming in any way, but because the entire concept and follow through is quiet horrendous on every level imaginable. Gameplay: (one example) Baskets go in, but they don't count all the time. Topic: They have a rookie from Atlanta acting the part of how this is a real tournament, and not only is it poor laughing, it's laughable how hard he's also being. The fact that they wasted time making such a commentators set for Chuck D is shocking. Graphics: My character is supposed to be fat, but in special cut scenes such as Super Dunks, most of the time he's fluctuating between very skinny and very fat in a dizzying manner. The basketball net does not move AT ALL, despite even having the "swoosh" sound affect when sinking a Super Shot. And so on! I played through the entire game twice (for the chieves), so I have the Journalist Integrity and Validity to state my opinion, though doing it twice is entirely unneccesary (nothing is different, besides it being a "lesser" experience, if that's not hard to believe). I guess I can just copy and paste this with some minor edits for my Right-Up since previously all I had was the blurb.

In the last few years I've been trimming back my collections from my old systems, mostly spurred by money issues. Though, it has helped me come to terms with things such as how much nostalgia and memories I may attach to particular items, and how sometimes it's time to just move on with things, and (more importantly) why do I or anyone need a collection of all the "good games" of a system when whoever the owner is doesn't even care personally about the game. So many people do this all the time, with anything that can go on a shelf (virtual or otherwise).

The funny thing about Nintendo announcing the 3DS is that you know it directly equates to Sony devoting money and resources towards ripping it off as quickly as possible. They've probably already appointed a new VP of 3D handheld development, who is in turn posting ads to careerbuilder.co.jp this very minute. With a simple press release Nintendo has cost Sony $10m. (n/t) (SignOfZeta) (13:23:04 03/23/10 EST)

(14:36:48 03/23/10 EST)

The lack of originality in the design of the Move is just...unprecedented. They could at least change the shape a little more in order to sort of pretend that they still had some ideas in house. The only difference is the slight reconfiguration of the buttons (which leaves you with no d-pad) and that the nunchuk is wireless (so, yet another thing to keep charged up). I'm literally embarrassed for Sony. Its fucking pathetic.

It's funny how your reaction to a Nintendo announcement is to immediately bash Sony for hypothetically copying them, but anyway it would be way more than $10 million, I would think.

Sony has become the most pathetic, unoriginal gang of copycats in video game history. I'm simply calling them out on it. Also, I don't think posting an image of the Virtual Boy would be clever at all. More like GameFAQs forum-y.

Just that this is the 2nd time Sony will be trying to copy the functionality of the Wii for the PS3. The first time it flopped wasn't humiliating enough, I guess so they try a much more exact copy.

I don't know the details of what you guys are talking about, but it sounds like you're worshipping at the cult of innovation to me. Really, who cares whether something is original or copied? We're talking about video games, right? So if Sony copies something that Nintendo does and then makes a fun game with it that Nintendo didn't make, that's good, isn't it? Lawsuits and marketing aside, attaching a stigma to something just because it's not original doesn't make any sense.

(Sweater Fish Deluxe)

(17:02:32 03/27/10 EST)

Yeah I don't care about that, it's just that the motion control stuff has lead to a lot of development going into sucky games.

(Paleface)

(17:20:18 03/27/10 EST)

If someone invents, I don't know, the CDROM drive, then obviously its beneficial for everyone to start using it. That's not what I'm making fun of. What's irritating, or really just embarrassing, is that there are too many companies that just sit on their asses until Apple or Nintendo actually a) has the balls to implement a new concept and b) do really really well with it money-wise, and then these companies just copy that. Until the iPhone came out, smart phone users were a puny percentage of the market. Now there are, revenue-wise, the majority thanks mostly to the iPhone but also largely to the 50 phones out there that look pretty much exactly like iPhones. Stuff people didn't mess with before until they had a good template to copy. (The term "app", previously only used by some Linux and Mac people has now 1 million times as popular and has become the default term used to refer to virtually any program downloaded by a mobile device...overnight, almost) Motion control was considered a laughable gimmick (still is, by a lot of people) until Nintendo sold a quadrillion Wii systems. The Sixaxis was such a poorly done rush job to compete with the Wiimote that they've already scrapped it and now have something that looks...like 3rd part Wiimote. Sony has become the Rob Schneider of industrial design. Obviously with a bunch of different companies all doing the same thing you get a really finely polished version of that thing (ie: fighting games) but the situation we have here is that very few companies are really doing anything new themselves, they just ape Nintendo and Apple. It doesn't foster creativity, it stifles it since no one is funding anything that doesn't look like a HK knock-off of an Apple/Nintendo product. In many ways there was more innovation in phones before the iPhone. That's ended now that they all know what to copy. Look at how many tablet devices are now coming out since the announcement of the iPad when a year ago the concept of a device like this was considered a total loser concept. These companies (MS being a major one) must have decided that tablets can work after all since Apple is making one, so they'll just copy everything about the iPad they legally can since, historically, that works. It will be hilarious if Apple was wrong and that market doesn't exist since that would mean that a dozen other companies are falling over themselves trying to weasel in on loser concept.

(02:30:03 02/04/10 EST)

I forget. I think the main character is initially named that. Or something.

(NeoGutsman)

What about 5 and 9 in the US? And if they've been released, get any of them?

Blast from the past: My daughter was playing Klonoa: Empire of Dreams on my used Metallic Pink GameBoy Advance SP this evening. WIN. (NeoGutsman) (01:19:47 01/29/10 EST)

awesome! its always great to see someone enjoy something that you like. im still very proud that my then-14 year old sister played, enjoyed and finished shenmue 2.

(mental)

(07:35:01 01/29/10 EST)

I've been thinking I should get one of the newer SPs. I bought one for my dad, but maybe I should have one as well.

(exodus)

(16:15:18 01/29/10 EST)

I like the micro so much more.

(aerisdead)

(18:06:48 01/29/10 EST)

screen is so tiny!

(exodus)

(23:28:42 01/29/10 EST)

But so crisp!

(aerisdead)

(02:20:10 01/30/10 EST)

I agree. The Micro's screen is so nice, as is everything else about that little system. I love the Gamcube's Game Boy player, too.

(Jeurja)

(13:12:46 01/30/10 EST)

but the newer SP has the same screen, only larger. I have a micro, and have used it, I just like larger screens.

(14:08:21 01/30/10 EST)

I've always kept all my toys hoping that one day, my children would enjoy them and I could instill into them a false sense of nostalgia for the times when I was a kid but I know that will just make them awkward among their peers when their friends start playing XBox 1260 or whatever and they'll be talking to them about NES or something. I am already awkward enough among my friends because I can't be talked into touching a new console. I only want to play old games and talk about SNK or Gorf or 80s cartoons or something.

(Comic-Kaze)

(01:59:11 01/30/10 EST)

We're not talking about toys we're talking about portable game consoles! OMG serious stuff! (Those GBA SPs with the bright screens are nice though, the last really well-designed portable in my book.)

DJ Max Fever is now available for download via the PSN ($19.99). I bought it on Friday and have been enjoying the speedier load times. It's even faster than Clazzi' or Black Square with Data Install. I noticed at least one bug fix, so hopefully more bugs are also squashed in this version. Click for more info on this version: (NeoGutsman) (15:27:26 01/26/10 EST)

seems kinda pricey to me!

(exodus)

(00:29:58 01/27/10 EST)

The original price was $39.99, so I think it's okay at $19.99. But that's just me!

(NeoGutsman)

(13:13:21 01/27/10 EST)

It would be nice if they released a disc version of the update, even if only sold on their own website. I'm not too keen on downloading paid content for PSP.

(Zero)

(10:38:01 02/24/10 EST)

I decided to buy Hero's Saga Laevatein, a poorly named (for searching reasons) tactics RPG from Gung Ho, brought to the U.S. by Aksys. I can only imagine they're losing a fair amount of money on it, but heyyyy. Thoughts inside, cause that's easier to read. (exodus) (17:59:51 01/18/10 EST)

I don't even know if I want to keep my copy after reading that. I've read similar impressions elsewhere. Speaking of RPGs, a NA demo of Lunar for the PSP is officially out now on the PSN. I haven't played it yet, but maybe tonight.

(NeoGutsman)

(19:04:35 01/18/10 EST)

Well I like the game, the real drawback for me is the writing. If you're cool with that, I halfway recommend. As I recall you didn't mind the writing in Dragon Quest IV, and I couldn't stand it - so I think you might be ok?

(exodus)

(19:27:05 01/18/10 EST)

Maybe!

(NeoGutsman)

(13:24:09 01/19/10 EST)

What some people say to be the last bit of good Mega Man gaming, at least before Mega Man 9 (and now 10): Mega Man Zero Collection coming to DS. Time to sell your collection for a good amount! (I know I am) (Zero) (11:11:22 01/15/10 EST)

Ooh, I saw this, too. I'll probably bite when it hits NA.

(NeoGutsman)

(12:27:19 01/15/10 EST)

Years ago it was announced that they were going to make a Megaman GB Collection for GBA so I sold my old GB games early in anticipation. The collection never got released and since then I've cursed parting with my fond memories. Wait until the new comes out before getting rid of the old. :(

(Darius)

(20:51:41 01/17/10 EST)

Yeah, that and sometimes these collections are crap.

(SignOfZeta)

(19:46:36 01/19/10 EST)

That's a good point. Luckily for me, I don't really have many fond memories of the Zero games. While they are good and I enjoy them, I can't say they hold a special place at all.

(09:26:53 01/21/10 EST)

A Q, probably for exodus alone. Akira Nishitani is clearly a hugely important game designer in Capcom's history. So how come I can't find any information on the guy at all? Am I just bad at google or what? (n/t) (aerisdead) (20:59:23 01/14/10 EST)

what kind of info? I mean he left to form Arika, so maybe that's why nobody idolizes him anymore, but google turns up some stuff. I know a guy who knows him, if you're really needing to contact him. I've never spoken with him myself though.

(exodus)

(00:43:13 01/15/10 EST)

but wow, I didn't realize arika just released an xbox live indies game. jewelry master twinkle...eh?

(exodus)

(00:46:51 01/15/10 EST)

Ew, Arika!

(Paleface)

(02:54:01 01/15/10 EST)

They've done some excellent shooter ports. And Endless Ocean, which I approve of.

(Jeurja)

(13:10:48 01/15/10 EST)

It's nothing so pressing. I've just been doing some research for something I'm working on and his name kept coming up as "Planner" on all these huge Capcom games like SFII and Final Fight, and I wondered what his involvement really was and generally why he isn't idolized. Just because he left the company? I mean, what's so bad about Arika?

(aerisdead)

(12:12:56 01/15/10 EST)

I don't think anything's bad about it! he's probably just not super relevant right now, so people forgot about him.

(exodus)

(13:25:25 01/15/10 EST)

What about the fact Arika was a huge failure from the get go?

(substance J)

(20:26:49 01/17/10 EST)

Ahead of their time. People weren't really for Street Fighter EX until it stewed for a while and came back renamed to Street Fighter IV.

(04:19:33 01/18/10 EST)

how was that ketsui port?

(exodus)

(02:04:04 01/19/10 EST)

The one that never came out! Or is that the joke? Doo hoo hoo....

(substance J)

(03:18:31 01/22/10 EST)

oh god, it didn't, did it? I assumed it just happened when I stopped paying close attention to japanese releases. Jeez. arika indeed.

PS0 party up now! It's later than I thought, but my friend came over and we're jamming out to PS0 together so I thought I'd make an online party! Ret's go! (n/t) (a-star) (23:31:21 01/13/10 EST)

oh yeah, a-star 2794-0871-7016 If I don't open the party up right away it's because we're in an intense fight.

Have any of you ever played a game and wondered why you weren't progressing properly, then find out that you needed to switch to a different mode or difficulty the whole time? I just realized that DJ Max Portable 2 won't let you level up past 30 if you're on Easy mode. FAWK. After switching to Normal mode I've been able to level up AND unlock about a half dozen more songs I didn't even know were in the game. WTFBBQMLIT (NeoGutsman) (13:10:35 01/13/10 EST)

haha that sucks. That hasn't happened to me without my knowledge, it's usually in the text somewhere.

(exodus)

(14:00:18 01/13/10 EST)

Yeah, that's the thing. It's not mentioned in the game at all. I kept filling up the experience bar after a few songs, then... nothing. Not every level-up unlocks something in these games, but I filled the bar so many times that it seemed really strange. It wasn't until I looked at the differences in a FAQ by chance that I saw this. Oh well, at least this is one of the few times this has happened to me with a game. Hm, maybe the first because I am usually pretty awesome and cool.

(NeoGutsman)

(15:15:29 01/14/10 EST)

The first time I played Soul Calibur, the game was actually on demo play. To my credit, I didn't enjoy it very much.

(Sweater Fish Deluxe)

(16:30:24 01/13/10 EST)

I just discovered this post. I declare it the post of the month (any month).

(substance J)

(05:10:25 03/17/10 EST)

Can't say I have, since I either just start off on the hardest difficulty, or paly it on my second play through. Like with all the Halos, just started off on Legendary, but with Lost Planet I played through on the easiest then the hardest.

Ian just announced that it is his birthday and that for his birthday Jeremy should find that NNGPC and sell it to him. (n/t) (PopaSmear) (13:12:08 01/11/10 EST)

Altus just announced Hexyz Force for PSP. I've never heard of this game and probably wouldn't have cared if they hadn't sent me an email about it. It's developed by Sting though and most everything they've done (yes, even Dokapon Kindgom) has been golden. (Darius) (11:49:44 01/08/10 EST)

I can't comment on the game itself (only the intro anime is shown) but this is, by far, the least original looking thing ever created.

(SignOfZeta)

(14:54:14 01/08/10 EST)

I also got that email. The anime intro was anime. The screenshots that I had to google to find seemed kinda bland and meh.

(NeoGutsman)

(15:54:04 01/11/10 EST)

Atlus also announced last month that Holy Invasion 2 would release for the PSP on UMD *and* include Holy Invasion 1! The PSN version will be $19.99 but won't include Holy Invasion 1, but it all evens out to the same price. Pretty cool! (NeoGutsman) (17:37:34 01/07/10 EST)

FaWk! That was meant as a reply to Zero.

(NeoGutsman)

(17:37:50 01/07/10 EST)

Ah what? I already bought Holy Invasion 1 on PSN. I guess they'll probably drop PSN Holy Invasion 2 down to $10 at some point too though.
