I liked the NES version better, but that's neither here nor there: I wish something would hurry and come out.

@89:
The American SNES was certainly built like a tank. I've had mine for nearly 20 years, and despite 6 different moves, it looks brand new.

starcrunch061 commented on Feature: 20 Years of the Super NES:
Terranigma is great, but it's no Final Fantasy VI. I respect trying to find deep cuts, but FFVI is arguably the best game in the franchise (and in my opinion, it's the best game ever made).

starcrunch061 commented on GameCube to See New Downloadable Life on Wii U:
It's weird that you could download games, but the system wouldn't be backward compatible. Obviously, there is different technology, but for PS3, the same technology that allows you to download PS1 games also allows you to play them on the system.
I do hope it's true, though. The GC was easily the best gaming machine of last generation - it just didn't get enough support. Pikmin 2, Eternal Darkness, Wind Waker, SSB: Melee...great stuff.

Cozy Fire? Man, WiiWare really scrapes the dregs for that one.
I'm pumped about Faxanadu (I'm not sure why people think Zelda II isn't thought well of - while some people might not like it when compared to Zelda, it's still a solid game). I played this game so many times when I was a kid.

@20: LOL. Yeah, googling SCAT probably will get you in trouble.
This game looks pretty fun. I always liked "Forgotten Worlds".

I would much rather see SMT than anything else on that list.

Exed Exes (which I also read as "Exed Eyes" back in the day) is a pretty boring game. I have the version on the Capcom Collection.

@Collision_Cat
I'm sure I'm being a nostalgic fool, but I really like the original version. I like the sound much better than the GBA version, and yeah, this is the one I remember.
Oh, Final Fantasy III (VI in Japan) is better. ;-D

I am not religious in the least, but it seems weird to have some half-dressed sexy Santa girl singing "Silent Night".

starcrunch061 commented on If You Want Virtual Boy Games on 3DS, Speak Up:
I can't understand why so many people are vehemently saying "NO!". I would surmise they've never actually played the Virtual Boy, and only "remember" it because they read about it on some "Worst Things EVAH!" list.
As one who did play (and own) the virtual boy, I wouldn't mind seeing some of the games make it to DLC. Yes, I would also like to see GBA games, but there's no reason we can't have both.

@19: Is Faxanadu really coming out? That would be...awesome.

starcrunch061 commented on Review: Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest (Virtual C...:
I thought this was a pretty good game, actually. Initially, I was disappointed, but after a couple of plays (since the game isn't so long, you can play it a lot), I grew to really like it. I'll definitely pick it up.

starcrunch061 commented on Review: Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Calib...:
Yeah, I'm with Alphack. I don't think this game merits a 10/10. because there is no such thing as a perfect game. But this title ranks with Final Fantasy Tactics, and that's about the highest praise I can give to any SRPG.

starcrunch061 commented on Review: The Tales of Bearsworth Manor: Chaotic...:
@Thetot:
I guess it's just generational differences. I vastly prefer the hard copy of the disc to the download games I can get, for a variety of reasons (the least of these being that I can sell back a hard copy of the game, as I actually have the rights to the object, and not merely its content).
One last thing: yes, the game is 1/6th of what I would pay at the store, but no one is going to confuse any downloaded game with, say, "Uncharted 2," "Mass Effect 2," or "Mario Galaxy 2".
But, different strokes for different folks. I don't believe that game companies are getting "screwed over" on DLC, but I'm not a fan of DLC in general, so naturally I'd see the worst here.

@ MagicPegasus:
The microtransactions definitely seem to be increasing in price. I imagine the companies realize that the people who want DLC will pay a lot for it, and the people on the fence usually decide against it.

starcrunch061 commented on Review: Super Castlevania IV (SNES):
Bloodlines? Bloodlines is crap compared to this game.
This is the best Castlevania title ever made. "Symphony of the Night" doesn't really count, since it was really a Metroid game posing as a Castlevania game.

starcrunch061 commented on Review: Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (Virtual C...:
This game was a downgrade from Super Castlevania IV, but is still a solid title.

@BananaJane:
Yep. The Sonic Ultimate Collection is pretty much the reason I'll never download Sega games to my VC, as I got them all for a fraction of the cost.

starcrunch061 commented on Nintendo Rep: Virtual Console Being Toned Down:
I have no doubt that Nintendo is doing this - if the VC was a big money-maker, they would release more games for it.
That being said, I agree with the article. Nintendo has done little to advertise the VC, so it's no surprise that people aren't lining up to purchase games. I've never really liked the shop channel site itself - it is pretty painful to browse systems for titles in and of itself.
But anyway, if that's how it goes, then that's how it goes. It was nice while it lasted, I guess.
