@Merry_Blind thank your sir. Never had an OG Xbox to play it back then but I remember the commercials where the announcer would emphasize the “Genma” part of the game’s title.
@sixrings for the arrogance of Nintendo, see their NES/SNES era and their downfall with N64; for the arrogance of Sony see their PS2 era and downfall with the PS3 launch; for Microsoft’s arrogance, see generally Don Mattrick.
@RadioHedgeFund Yes. That’s why it is called a *copy*right after all and not a *money*right. They can just sit on their IP and not do anything with them at all. See, generally, Konami games.
@Ghost_of_Hasashi Bro, your fanboyism is showing. MS has to money to buy all of Sony if they wanted to. Remember when MS dropped $1B on warranty repairs to fix RROD’d 360’s without batting an eye?
@Ventilator Dreamcast also was the first (reasonably-priced, i.e., not a Neo-Geo) home console where you got arcade perfect ports, which pretty much sealed the fate of local arcades, at least here in the United States.
@datamonkey Nintendo was not stupid: the truth is that they did not underestimate the impact of CD ROMs, or else they wouldn’t have tried to make a CD add-on for the SNES with Sony. But they knew CD- ROM games were easily pirate-able so they went with cartridges, which may have saved them a lot of piracy of their games but cost them significant third-party support on the N64.
You guys need to add Skyblazer, a hidden gem of a game that was published & developed by Sony Computer Entertainment of America before they were even making PlayStation games.
I recall early promo materials in Nintendo Power magazine had a pic of the title screen and it was clearly “Diddy Kong’s Quest” - Nintendo changed it to Diddy’s Kong Quest shortly before release.
@Apportal Gala I agree. Galaxy 2 is just a large scale expansion pack with no story, hub world, etc. Not sure why everyone says it’s so much better than Galaxy 1 - just because you can ride Yoshi for a few levels and a couple new power ups??
