@Vriess back in my day they had 1 collection and it had all the damn games. But somehow they cut a rerelease in half, charge double for 1 physical copy and 1 download code, and people are all shut up and take my money. No wonder Capcom still makes money despite screwups and ripoffs. Hell, throw in cannon spike as megaman was playable. But nope.
@Shiryu there was a failed Kickstarter for bad dudes 2. One guy was bald and fat; it was gonna age the characters. No idea why they didn't simply make it and include this original now. Sad they stole fan art. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pinstripegames/bad-dudes-2
@meppi64 like Sega knows how to practically print money with your good ideas? They could have collaborated with the whole streets of rage remake instead of shut it down and make 3d versions. Surprised they didn't remake shining soul by now but could be worse than secret of Mana remake I guess.
@Mortenb it isn't that bad but Wario apparently needs his preorder money. I wish Phoenix wright would cover stuff besides murder; that's why I liked devil's attorney even if plot base was only story, but fun to defend bootlegging tapes. I do think a good sign of a company is the refund policy.
@OorWullie it's so sad too. I felt the legacy collections after megaman anniversary collection were ripoffs. It should've just been 1-6, 9 and 10 in 1 nes style collection rather than 2 games having only 9 and 10 as new content compared to anniversary collection, which also had power fighters 1 and 2, which are also missing on legacy collections 2. They could have even added the game boy games from cancelled mega Man mania.
People even buy the shoddy megaman mobile games too. But emulators are bad mmmkay 😂
I call it subtle cosplay honestly. I love doing that. Feels normal but only fans will notice. Kinda like wearing yusuke or kuwabara's school uniforms in Yu Yu hakusho.
@Alucard83 how no one says faceless characters like the granstream saga is a weird pink elephant in the room. I can stick to path through the forest or ghoulboy on my phone.
@StephenYap3 princess peach saving princess peach 😊 or glass Joe damn near killing me in 1 punch is priceless. Glad 3ds is getting some first party sales and selects for once; gotta reward collectors and budgets for making old stuff desirable
@Armbouncer of course, where is evil Ryu? Bison could transform with psycho crusher too, but that would make too much sense. Would be nice to have a plane drop off Guile, Cammy and a few other type soldiers. Chun li with a gun Megatron would be awesome too; she is a police officer after all.
@Mommar lol reminds me of mighty no 9. They couldn't even cross-promote a bundle with 7-Eleven with Megaman 7-11. Just sad, but people go into fan stuff for megaman if not gunvolt these days.
@Joeynator3000 a lot of old stuff honestly. I do feel 3ds is phased out. I mean who hasn't played shovel Knight or gunman Clive by now. There are a couple new things, but I thought mighty gunvolt burst, or the latest Kirby game may have been a good idea. Ah well.
@Pupito well said, shovel Knight says no. If they pull this, at least make it cosmetic, free to start or dirt cheap. Smash Bros had way too much to pay for, with content double the price of the main game now. These days I can buy a whole game for their price of 1 character, especially when games go on sale. I feel dlc done wrong is a luxury good; to brag like iPhones.
@rjejr I agree. It discourages me from buying Nintendo to hear this heavy handed bit; let's not forget the fact they nickle and dime let's players to the point where they refuse Nintendo games. YouTube is full of bs too. Not sure what the current policies are, but it is tough to regain faith in bad policies. I'll still check nindies but I could easily play a hack like hyper Metroid which has fast bullets and better controls. Rather than buy Metroid 2, need the amino for hard mode and ignore the fan game they shut down; why should I inconvenience myself?
@BulbasaurusRex yeah no idea why they don't make the doc standalone games for $5-$10 I read people complain risky boots runs through the same levels as shantae. I liked risky boots more for having different gameplay with guns, swords and gameplay. I can't go back to shantae, especially with that stupid auto running/carry escort level
@SLIGEACH_EIRE lol Mario is a serial killer and animal abuse given donkey Kong jr. As Bowser would say in super Mario rpg, Fungah! Foiled again. Hm, for something kid friendly I guess there is always excitebike, puzzle, sports games and of course Gunstar heroes 3d with a forgivable difficulty given double health and always keeping 2 guns.
@w00dm4n lol is that a song. We gotta get outta here? I also think all about the pentiums parody with weird Al yankovic. Does make me laugh to see the games can't even run without sd. And then needing the amiibo for hard mode in Metroid 2 samus returns. Back in my day we had everything we wanted once we popped on the game and unlocked extras by having the skill (or game genie) to beat it. Damn I feel old.
@Dakt lol 9/10. It may break the switch but excellent game. I learned not to read the numbers seriously. Gonna stick with steamworld heist given quicker battles, no damage to my 3ds and a cool opening which doesn't drag.
Lol literally too hot for the switch. I prefer puzzles and dragons z which kinda skips the lengthy dialogue for the Mario campaign. I saw a vid with an ice golem or frost giant and it looked like it had too much health.
Next time, how well will scalpers runup the prices? Don't hate, emulate. Nintendo is like a senile grandpa sometimes, and it gets harder to give money, folly after folly, YouTube takedown after YouTube takedown.
Lol how many ports? And why not metal slug advance with classic continues rather than the dumb life bar. I forgot the name of the one you could play as king of fighters army characters Leona, Ralf and Clark but do that and skip the dlc.
@CapitanFalcon yeah,affordable if you go a gen back or buy digital sales. Most recent now, not really. I agree with you. Wish Nintendo didn't screw over captain falcon in 3ds smash with so many tiny levels too.
@Kalmaro yeah that is definitely what we would pay for. One thing to play games but another to be in an environment and have some e-tanks to drink after fighting a boss
Why? Would be better to release the untranslated ones or make new cases like malpractice or one where you have the advantage as a lawyer and the prosecutor has to play catch-up. Will probably try some fan games and hope I hit something original. Can't be worse than that steam ripoff, Regeria Hope.
@sillygostly yeah even etrian Odyssey looks better than this. Never was into first person view much, let alone the trailer doesn't show much character development. Ah well, back to steamworld heist for me
@ecco6t9 weren't the mini medals taken out of the mobile ports? That is a bad thing. Plus dragon quest 3 was really the only one that aged well, and even then it doesn't hold a candle to final fantasy 5 (as my icon dances around it) in terms of stories/jobs.
Though the ancient cave hack to make blue mage playable in chests from random dungeons pretty much fixes any problems with the job though Hermes shoes ninja is badass, and even the geomancer is helpful for the random floors with damage tiles.
@Moon I always had trouble with downloading the demo of this and those short movies for some reason. Tough to prioritize this over chibi robo apparently, and that is like $5-6 on ebay, though it feels weird to do random levels, but the gameplay and dialogue is more exciting.
The 1st one with the space in the hat for the camera looks like eyes which remind me of super mario odyssey. Don't get the dead animation one with the phone hole out of luigi's crotch. That's not right
@thesilverbrick so many things cut out on the 3ds, and rpg maker fes being bare bones without the dlc patch for player even working is insulting. Do hope the Kickstarter clone timespinner is worth waiting as I thought Metroid was dead. Don't think it will ever top fusion for new games.
@Kalmaro a budget win win, finish your backlog and then get it hopefully on sale. Even if not, just $5 and I like the games though sometimes you may need help. Not as cryptic as done others.
@xPH03N1Xx86 lol close enough. All fire emblem swords, no axes, Lances, mages, archers, heavy nor cavalry/Pegasus knights. Even adding an assassin like jaffar would have me forgive but no.
@Sakuraichu lol sounds like smash Bros with all the Ikes/Marths. But seriously, I would rather play as akuma in X-Men children of the atom, which had balance and diversity. But I suppose everyone wants the marvel vs Capcom infinity route.
@Nintendian try to no damage the ex levels. That alone adds challenge. I call it super Kirby 3d land. I like these Kirby expansions because I don't feel I have to buy the main game if I prefer these. Doubt they will ever top superstar honestly, with metaknight. I do like this.
