@speedracer216 Well, at the time DVD players were quite expensive. I don't really remember how much they went for back then since I could hardly remember but the PS2 was actually the most affordable one that could play DVD's, especially right out of the box. So I think that has alot to do with that.
I gotta say that this game's art style is really growing on me. So much that I might get this. Haven't bought a new Zelda games since Twilight Princess back in 2006 (for both Wii & GC).
Man...why do Iphones get the good cases & leave out Android phones...?
I remember when SEGA released the Megadrive/Genesis, Saturn, & Dreamcast theme phone cases for Iphones back in 2015. I think there was the Gamegear one too.
Would be REALLY nice if Bcov could get on in the collab. Imagine having Pokemon-themed leather wallet-cases for a Android phone. Doubt it would happen.
How is it THAT this game was "worthy" of a Limited Run physical release...? Hrm...I'm beginning to question Limited Run's way of thinking...
Now I don't think this game is bad or anything but it...does look rather...uh...average??? But then again I've never played this one...so what do i know...
Hm...interesting, to say the least. On the SEGA costumes, I'd almost mistaken the 2nd costume for Link's Tunic but I did a double-take & realized it was actually Gilius Thunderhead's costume.
I'll probably get this game when the road map DLC is finished. Maybe...or maybe not.
@SalvorHardin Well Sonic06 is certainly no fav of mine. I was dumb enough to buy this game & Unleashed for XBOX360 back in 2009. But after playing Sonic 06 & Unleashed back-2-back...well...let's just say that Unleashed was a much better game in comparison. Basically the former made the latter look like a WELL-polished game.
Man, Kingdom Valley in the 2006 game was the most frustrating one for me. Especially when you play as Rouge & Knuckles, there was a glitch that caused you to get stuck when climbing.
Overall, only Silver's playthrough of this level was tolerable...for me at least...
Anyways, this remix is certainly bangers, as expected from a Sonic game.
No...not really. My finances & bills say so. And life is the boss right now so rent 7 stuff comes first. And I only had my OLED for a year. You'd think I would but it's still new. And it'll last me 30 yrs tops.
So I'll wait. Tax season, I need a new laptop badly.
@Savage_Joe Well my main problem is that I'm too PASSIONATE for physical media in general.
But next time I NEED to avoid articles like these. It's pretty clear that I get pretty irked whenever the whole " physical gonna end digital is the future" subject is brought up.
But I do wish both digital & physical can co-exist. So that folks can enjoy the best of both worlds
@Savage_Joe True, true. I guess I was stupid to even reply. Common sense isn't ALWAYS with me head sadly. Eh...oh well. Better you "ignore" me. Trust me, it's a practical option.
@Savage_Joe You do realize SSD is a PHYSICAL media...right?
You're still using a "physical" storage device to store digital. So it plain-out means you're still using physical media to store digital files either way.
The only one I'm interested in is the Street Fighter Collection since I did played a few of the titles back then. though I played more of SEGA's fighting games.
But that's just me though. I was a SEGA kid growing up so that's why.
Lumines Electronic Symphony & Disgaea 5 Complete. I recently ordered Lumines Remastered & will most certainly get Lumines 2 on PSP. Still works despite being...uh...old so to say.
Looks impressive. That's all I can pretty much say. What I can say though is the one thing I love about the Legend of Zelda series is that each game follows it's unique art style. Be it 3D or 2D.
It really lends a hand to each of the game's entire atmosphere & tone. i don't know why but I just love that aspect of the series.
sigh Another day, another of lack-of-common-sense-itis. Can't people just...oh, I don't know...APPLY COMMON SENSE when doing modded consoles. Just doing it in the dark or do VIP access-only members or...something...!
Why do this out in the open? They're just making bait outta themselves for Nintendo to swipe in & deal the blow to them. And yet, folks have the gall to call Nintendo the bad guy when this crud happens.
Anyways, sorry for the rant. I said my piece & that's done.
@WiltonRoots Which went as well as we all expected. I even chose Wonder over SuperStars only because I wouldn't have enough time to pay off SuperStars if I had pre-ordered it. So Mario Wonder was the one I bought in the end.
Anyways, I was off-topic. SEGA really need to revise their timing strategy or something, cause if they keep up with this habit. It's gonna bite them in the buttocks soon enough.
Kinda figured the SMB: Banana Rumble was gonna struggle especially considering Luigi's Mansion DM HD being releases the same week... SEGA probably should've waited a little longer. Maybe that's just me...not much of sales analyst or anything...
It's not bad but it's not great either. That sums up my thoughts anyways. I do miss the colorful boxarts of Mario & Luigi: SuperStar Saga & Partners in Time. The render seems good.
Shame it got pretty plain & bland by the time Bowser's Inside Story came around.
And here, I'm still waiting for Kadokawa to restore Nicovideo soon. In any case, I gotta wonder what motivated such an attack on Nico that would take about a month to fix.
Cuz for a cyberattack to cause that much to fix has got to be REALLY BAD.
I suppose anyone has forgotten about Nightmare Creatures, have they not?
That was ONE of the M-rated games I've played & the ONLY one at that too. I've ignore Conker's Bad Fur Day & Perfect Dark since I didn't really see them as any special.
I could say that most of N64's M-rated games simply didn't measure up to my liking. Cuz I was a ignorant kid at the time. plus, I was way more focused on the Saturn.
And I'm sure they'll be doing the same thing for Jet & Jam if they do come back. Kiryu as well since he was in Banana Mania as DLC.
Why couldn't these characters be an in-game shop item for this game anyways? I wouldn't mind that. Nope, SEGA gotta go the DLC route like this. Money pinching just like with Sonic Origins Plus.
I don't know if I'm really gonna go for this one. Hard pass for now.
I might get this but it's gonna be later down the road as there are other games I want since my birthday is next week & I'm trying to get Paper Mario: TYD...if I can.
So it's not really me not wanting to get it rather just for the sake of priorities. Plus, I do have the intention to get the MH Stories 2 as well. Just only the standalone physical release.

Re: Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Physical Edition Getting Wide Retail Release
Ugh...just seeing this makes me wish SEGA can do something similar with the Mega Drive/Genesis Phantasy Star Quadrilogy.
Like they did before with the Phantasy Star Collection on Saturn, later released on PS2 through their SEGA AGES catalog release.

Re: Talking Point: Will The Switch Ever Get A 'Nintendo Selects' Range?
Honestly, I'll doubt it'll ever happen. Besides, there's eBay if I wanna buy some of Nintendo's flagship titles for less than $40-30 brand new.
Sure it's still not cheap but when comparing to paying $60, yeah it kinda is.
Re: Sonic X Shadow Generations Continues To Show Love For Sonic 06

I would've think that also give more levels for Shadow to got through since he was playable in the two games anyways...
So much Death Yard Zone, Colosseum Highway, Mystic Haunt, & even Neon Palace...yeesh...
Re: Soapbox: Metroid’s Mother Brain And The Rewind Dilemma
Once I got to Mother Brain, it felt...eh...rather anti-climatic at best. Mostly it was just dodge-dodge-missile barrage Mother Brain-repeat.
But my real issue was that Zero Mission felt rather short. Still one of my fave Metroid game on GBA.

Re: PSA: Metroid Zero Mission's Fusion Gallery Is Already Unlocked On Switch
