Re: Ed Boon Might Already Be Teasing Another Mortal Kombat 1 DLC Character

Is this game really as unplayable as people keep saying? The load times seem really off putting.

For those that own, Is this game worth its price tag? From what I’ve seen, I’ll take the OG arcade trilogy. Less hassle, solid experience.

Not sure if this one’s for me but I hope all the MK fans are having fun!

The naming of this franchise may soon turn into a “Fast and Furious” lol 😂

Re: Video: We've Played Super Mario Bros. Wonder - Here's 8 Minutes Of Gameplay

Blast16

I’ve avoided most gameplay clips up until now, and it looks like the game controls well, but I keep getting this ROM hack / Mario Maker user vibe in some of these clips that does not impress me.

I didn’t really think this felt like a Super Mario game until about five minutes in…some of what I saw in the video looks easy to the point of boredom, but luckily later it looked more engaging and fun. The constant barrage of stuff onscreen and sound effects seem…not as concise / focused as earlier Mario games. Almost seemed like a meme game for a few seconds but I guess I’ll see when I play it. I’m probably in the minority but I like the NSMB console games and feel like they are solid entries, though I understand why people think the series was tired after 4 games in a similar engine. Wonder seems odd, but I’m not sure if it’s good odd or bad odd for me just yet. I’m hoping to have a lot of fun with this one!

Though, I’m pretty sure I’m going to cancel my pre-order. I’ll wait on more footage. The music felt extremely predictable for a newer SMB game. I hope there are lots of new themes and some creative takes on old ones.

Just a few first impressions. Looking forward to seeing more from NL. Thanks for putting this video together!

@wizzgamer to legally sell these, LRG must obtain permission from companies that own these games, and along with that, pay the appropriate licensing fees. This is different from say, an Etsy seller making just a couple repro carts and selling them for profit (which is illegal since they don’t own it to sell in the first place). Not saying I don’t have a few 😅

Re: Jurassic Park: Classic Games Collection Adds Two Sega Genesis Titles

@NightBeast The Lost World is quite good! I have all three of these on Genesis and the two on SNES but still have not beaten all of them. Very fun games indeed. The Lost World has some very impressive graphics design during some “encounters” 😱 if my memory serves. They all offer something unique. Kind of makes me long for that in games these days. That always excited me as a kid to see how the Nintendo version vs Sega versions differed.

Pretty insane that out of the six games in the collection they are all different. I say awesome!!!

@nhSnork yes, it’s a great game!! I’ve not played all the way through. I better put it on my list!

Maybe someday they’ll release a second collection? Either way, I got what I wanted out of this first one now that Genesis JP and JP: Rampage Edition are included.

This whole thing seems kind of weird. When it was revealed, everyone clamored for the Genesis games, and they delivered seemingly overnight… maybe it was held back as part of the reveal to hype the game? But the pre-order has been live for weeks…and is only available until October 15.

I can’t wait until I get to play the raft level!!

Re: TMNT: Shredder's Revenge Lands A New Physical Edition With DLC Included This November

Blast16

@RupeeClock That is absolutely ridiculous. I order from them every few months, and I know how long the waits can be when you've pre-ordered more than one game in an order. They don't ship until everything is together. BTW their shipping rates are total BS compared to just about everyone else.

I know, I'm part of the problem ordering from them but a lot of their releases are exclusive, and I'd rather wait to play with entire game on card than buy digital when possible (even though I've double dipped waaaay too much. Trying to get better on that).

Re: Talking Point: Which Classic Cartoons Deserve The Shredder's Revenge Treatment?

Blast16

I voted X-Men, though more than anything, I’d like to see new original beat ‘em ups rather than a remake or reboot like Shredder’s Revenge. Luckily we’re getting lots of them these days. It’s just I’d prefer collections of the old games on a single card instead, like the Cowabunga Collection. That was great!

Unpopular opinion here, but I played through SR and outside of a buddy calling to play co-op online, I haven’t touched it since launch, though I have enjoyed other newer games like DD Gaiden, Final Vendetta, Mayhem Brawler, The Takeover, 99 Vidas, etc. much more than newer games using existing IP. Don’t get me wrong: SR is a magical love letter but I just don’t think I’ll be going back to it as much as other new beat ‘em ups. Same with SoR4. To me, the old games are untouchable.

Re: Poll: Who Will You Be Playing As In Super Mario Bros. Wonder?

Blast16

Definitely Mario. I like that there are finally new art designs and assets for this game, but there’s something about this that seems unfocused like a ROM hack.

Of course I’ve not played yet, but it seems like ideas are all over the place. I trust Nintendo with 2D Mario, so my opinion will likely change soon. I guess I voted Mario because to me, a classic NES player, this new world doesn’t have as obvious a Mario identity, but perhaps I’m too stuck on the OG games up through SNES (which were all very different from one another). I blame you, NSMB, for your consistency!
