Right about now, everyone knows about the direct next week except for Nintendo

Fluffy Dreams Everyone!

Idea: make the world’s first web series aimed at kids.

@Princess_Lilly No.
Oh also after I abandoned you all one Friday, my mom took me to the local game trading store (Sells vinyl records, consoles, dvds, blue rays, and osmetimes game figures) and I got a gaem called Shaman King: Power of Spirits, which I'm enjoying a lot! And I also got Midway Arcade Treasures, which, I played a lot when I was like 4. I thought those memories were fake. But then I saw it at the store. That's when I knew I had to buy it. The game I cherished as a toddler wasn't fake! Paperboy was real, Root Beer Tapper was real, Rampage was real! And then when I booted it up on the ps2 the memories came back to me like a tsunami. The music. The loading screens. The pyramid at the start. All of it.
Shaman King cost about 13 USD and the arcade game collection cost about 8 USD, overall some money very well spent.

@EllaTheQueen6 oh, Rampage is one of my favourite arcade games. I spent a lot of time playing it. I also have Midway Arcade Treasures, but for PSP.

@AnVold Oh man I haven't seen you in a while! And yeah, I was born a bit too late to ply most arcade games except for simulations, like Midway Arcade Treasures.

@EllaTheQueen6 yep, happy to see you again! It seems that I old enough for it, because I remember how I played Rampage on arcade machine It was in August-September of 1998. I was 6, almost 7 years old.

And Shaman King: Power of Spirits looks like mix of Fire Emblem with fighting game. Pretty interesting.

I remember playing rampage on the N64. Didn’t know there was an arcade machine!

I remember it being fun. Too bad it was rented and we never owned it.

@AnVold Yeah I really like Shaman King! I'm thinking about buying the other game for the ps2.
@Eel If I'm correct, it started out as an arcade game and just got a bunch of ports.
Also is renting video games just a concept I'm too young to understand?

@EllaTheQueen6 me too. I like manga, old and modern anime series. Is there more Shaman King games on PS2? I know just that one and 3 for GBA. Did you play Musashi on PS2? It was made in same visual style.

@AnVold I got the seocnd Shaman King game, so I know there's at least 2 for the ps2. Thoug you dom't need to play the first one. And no, I neevr heard of Musashi

@EllaTheQueen6 oh hey now, renting is still a thing. You can rent movies on most streaming services.

Just imagine that but with physical games and in a physical store.

@Eel Oh yeah I rent movies on Prime Video all the time with my mom.
But I never heard of renting video games. Tha must be rough. Having like a week to ebat the game.

@EllaTheQueen6 it was more of an extended demo to be honest. If you really really liked the game, then you’d try to coax mama or papa to get it for you for Christmas or something!

Later, in the era of the memory card, you didn’t have to worry about the save files. But even for older longer games you could sometimes get lucky and the other renters might respect your save file. Otherwise, starting over wasn’t that big of a deal back then.

@Eel Oh, that kinda makes sense. And yeah, it must've been nice when they respected your save file. Mayeb that's why games have the ability to have like 200 save files for seemingly no reaosn.

@EllaTheQueen6 I see. It's good reason to find that game. I like to add mor games to my PS2 library.
Musashi kinda rare game. This is how it looks and plays.

@AnVold Oh it looks pretty fun and if I saved up for a bit, in my price range.

@EllaTheQueen6 I think you can find it in local stores for good price. The cheapest option on Ebay around 13$.
Yep, it's fun and looks nice. I played it a little.

@AnVold Yeha I'll defintiely try o get it, it seems really really fun!
