Re: Happy 130th Birthday, Nintendo!

Wouldn't it be more of an anniversary than a birthday? I guess that Nintendo is so cherished and unique we kinda think of it as a person.

Anyway, congratulations to Nintendo to making it this far.

Re: Save The Damned City In The Contra: Rogue Corps Switch Demo

Elvie

This game is beyond Contra III tier, making it the best shooter I've played in the past decade.

It also comes very close to overtaking C The Contra Adventure as the best game in the Contra series. This installment has convinced me that the franchise has a bright future ahead just like Konami's Metal Gear games.

Re: Deals: Starlink: Battle For Atlas Starter Pack Drops To A Ridiculous £10.99 In The UK

@Angelic_Lapras_King I checked up on it and development dates back as early as 2013.

I was enjoying the game and, even though personal interests are often at odds with companies, I wanted a bit more than what was provided. It kinda feels like the game and its players were abandoned and I still feel like something could have been done to salvage it but I'm not in their shoes. At least we got that Crimson Moon update.

@frabbit They were aware of the dying market before its release and pulled out as soon as the sales figures came in.

If they had the conviction to stay behind the game, maybe something could come out of it. But nope, their idea was to release a new I.P. and just hope that the lack of T.T.L. competition would mean their game could succeed.

What kind of sense does it make to venture into a declining market and jump ship when the expected happens?

Re: Dedicated Fans Are Working To Revive A '90s Sonic Cartoon With New Series

Elvie

The animation seems jerky and stiff.

I hate to sound harsh but I feel they should put more effort into this teaser if they are pitching this for an official release, especially since SEGA was partially responsible for the Archie series getting axed.

Edit: Maybe I spoke too soon. They did acknowledge on their Patreon page that the teaser was rather poor in quality and promised much more. I'm still fairly skeptical but I guess we shouldn't just collectively dismiss it without thinking about how things on going on their end.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #1 - Super Metroid

Elvie

Honestly a tough choice. The U.S. and Europe got red Ridley with that amazing expression on his face while Japan got the one that presented a lot more of the detail and dynamic action.

I'll have to choose Japan's by a small margin.

Re: Yuzo Koshiro Is Keen To Make Another Shinobi Game

Elvie

The soundtrack in Revenge Of Shinobi, "Terrible Beat", is amazingly ironic in the sense that it is one of the best boss themes in video game history.

If we got another Shinobi game like The Return Of The Ninja Master with Koshiro on board I would almost be crazy enough to pay double what it's worth.
