Same ol' Nintendo. When they're on top they want to crush everyone including their own customers. When they're down they play the victims and crawling onm the hands and knees begging forgiveness.
I hope Colecovision is next and let's be honest...Coleco was the first troll in video games. Tell people Atari is *****, make games for Atari and make them *****, make your own games awesome and sell more consoles as a result.
RIP. People forget but Madden was involved in video games long before the EA series came out. He was a spokesperson for CBS Electronics games that were on Atari 2600 (like Solar Fox & Blue Print) and was supposed to have a game in 1983 called Maddeness named after him by CBS but it was never released.
Ah, I remember the time when companies actually made their in house and licensed games for competing platforms. Atari had Atarisoft where they made games both console & computer competitors. Mattel made versions of intellivision games for Atari 2600 under the M Network label and Coleco made Colecovision games for both Atari 2600 & Mattel Intellivision but years later it was admitted they made poor versions of the games so people would say 'Oh, so much better on Colecovision! Let's get that!'.
So there's less music now? Why not replace the songs with other songs from the same time period? How even do we lose a song from a fake metal band in VC?
It's a great game but always makes me remember the story about how Namco had Mappy & Pole Position at an arcade show looking for American publishers. Midway had first dibs so they took Mappy. Atari ended up with Pole Position which ended up being game of the year for 1983.
No. This is a level of heniousification & ridiculousity that cannot be accepted. I bought every damn 3D Sega Classics game. I just bought Streets Of Rage 2 a few weeks ago. If Power Drift isn't sold by itself on Thursday when the new 3DS shop come out, I will be very disappointed. I love me some Power Drift. I have it on several different retro consoles from the Commodore Amiga to the Sega Saturn to the Yu Suzuki Collection on Sega Dreamcast. I am NOT dropping $30 just for it. $5, gladly.
Little historical note that many may not know. Nintendo wanted to license the Colecovision for Japan and were actively seeking a deal with Coleco but Nintendo wanted systems at cost whereas Coleco offered 10% below retail so it never happened.

Geez, the guy who hacked Sony got a job at least. This guy must be rollin' in it if 14.5 million is a wave of the hand to him.

Again, how weird is it the nail Sega Saturn emulation but N64 is a mess?

Well, I want it to be Shantae.
Re: Feature: The Scariest Game On Every Nintendo Home Console

Re: Blizzard Has Officially Renamed Overwatch's McCree
Ironic Blizzard purports to be this great woke company yet behind the scenes not so much.

It's a great game but always makes me remember the story about how Namco had Mappy & Pole Position at an arcade show looking for American publishers. Midway had first dibs so they took Mappy. Atari ended up with Pole Position which ended up being game of the year for 1983.

Re: Reminder: Sora And Version 13.0.0 Arrive In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Today
Sitting alone on a grassy hill, Waluigi looks to the stars and whispers to himself 'One day it will be my turn...one day...sigh...'
Shantae walks up and sits next to him, puts her hand on his distressed shoulder and says 'Yes it will...for both of us.'
Re: This Sealed Copy Of Super Mario Bros. Just Sold For $114,000
Some people got too little sense and too much money.
Re: Nintendo Download: 28th April (North America)
So no Power Drift sold by itself. Then nothing to buy. Not spending $30 when I've already spent that on all the earlier 3D Sega games.
Re: Review: SEGA 3D Classics Collection (3DS)
No. This is a level of heniousification & ridiculousity that cannot be accepted. I bought every damn 3D Sega Classics game. I just bought Streets Of Rage 2 a few weeks ago.

Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd September (North America)
RIP 3DS shop
Re: Nintendo Download: 27th August (North America)

Re: Nintendo Download: 13th August (North America)
Sega, only you & your 3D classics can save us.
Re: Konami Not Turning Its Back On Consoles After All, Says Sorry For Causing Such A Fuss
Good. Now go beg Kojima's forgiveness.
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st May (North America)
RIP 3DS Virtual Console. Even if it ain't 100% dead, it's looking like it.
Re: Nintendo Download: 14th May (North America)
3D Thunder Blade for me. Looks like Nintendo has abandoned VC for 3DS.
Re: Nintendo Download: 7th May (North America)
So what was the last time 3DS had a VC game? Was it S.C.A.T.? Nothing again for me. Guess I'm looking forward only to Sega 3D classics.
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th April (North America)
Another nothing to buy on 3DS week. This happens way too often.
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd April (North America)
Is it just me or do the 3DS offerings get weaker by the week?

Kinda wish they animated the vines ala Pitfall/Jungle King
Re: Nintendo Download: 5th March (North America)
Well, that's confusing. MvsDK gave a code for Wii U version but OlliOlli just comes up 'free' in the Wii U shop.
Re: Sega Confirms Global 3DS Release For Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX In May
Looking forward to it. Doubt it'll beat Rhythm Thief as my favorite rhythm game on 3DS but bring it on.
Re: Nintendo Adds a Bunch of Virtual Console Titles to North American Web Store
Just wish they'd put GBA/SNES games on 3DS. It's obvious the 3DS can run the games.
Re: New Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Editions Already In The Hands Of Lucky Buyers
Hopefully there's some NA hookups then. I'm an ambassador! I still have the little ambassador icon on my 3DS!
Re: 3D After Burner II Set to Jet Into Europe on 15th January
Hopefully in North America at the same time.
Re: Nintendo Download: 8th January (Europe)
Nintendo does love to just pass over the 3DS some weeks, don't they?

Re: Coleco Wants to Bring Back Their Version of Donkey Kong
@WanderFan91 According to the game list, Antarctic Adventure will be on the console but those only sold at a discount store called Dollar General.

Re: System Update 8.1.0-19 Now Available on 3DS
I'm getting "Error ocurred. Unable to update". Guess I'll try later.
