Re: Volgarr The Viking Hacks And Slashes His Way To Switch And Wii U In October

@Jimmy_G_Buckets, @bimmy-lee & @Fake-E-Lee you must venture westward in your quest for 90s true school Hip Hop. Hieroglyphics, Freestyle Fellowship (Project Blowed,) The Pharcyde... I mean, Freestyle Fellowship destroyed Wu-Tang live on the Wake Up Show at the peak of Wu's popularity in a battle that took place on both coasts. DJ Marley Marl hosted Wu and Sons of Man on the east coast and Sway & Tech hosted Freestyle Fellowship & Common on the west. It was epic.
Some really groundbreaking & innovative rap has been overshadowed by the memory of the moment in the 90s when the east coast underground surfaced and was mainstream.
Check out the aforementioned battle here: https://youtu.be/hD1FUOAtwzg

We should probably start a forum topic for this, huh?

@Seanmyster6 reasons, reasons.
Someone like you is going to hate this game solely based upon the fact that your fanboy butt is hurt by it's existence.
Aaaand you'll prove it by exerting great efforts in stabbing holes in anyone else's opinion with reasons.
Wanna know how I know?
Because you could have just said "Fatal Fury would be a better example in this case because..."

Question: How high & awesome did you feel about your eloquent rebuttal of my optimistic opinion?

Re: Epic Mickey Was One Of The High Points Of My Career, Says Warren Spector

NImH

I loved Epic Mickey. I'd never trade that game off. It's not perfect, but it's really fun... especially for Disney fans.
I'd love to see it re-released in some form or another. Unrealistic as the idea is, maybe a 3DS rehash in the vein of Donkey Kong Country Returns.
I think I'll break it out and let my kids give it a go.
Warren Spector has every right to be proud of Epic Mickey. It's the best Disney game I've played since the days of the SNES.

Re: Samurai Shodown Is Next Week’s New ACA Neo Geo Title

NImH

@Superryanworld two words: Mega Man
It's plain unforgivable at this point.
And even the newer RE titles (excepting Revelations, which I thoroughly enjoyed) are aimless. They've lost that RE spirit. As for Marvel vs Capcom, it's also gone the way of canned pop music. Almost all frills and T&A, but none of that tight, classic, kickass fighting. It feels like the train has been coasting on the steam of Super Street Fighter 2 for longer than some gamers have been alive.

"Who needs Street Fighter?"
Thank you. Exactly that.
I never thought I'd be saying it, but I'd take another SNK fighter over SF2 or it's sequels any day at this point. Capcom needs to just kick the last few holes in the hull of their sinking ghost ship and sell the goods to Nintendo already.

Re: Review: Ever Oasis (3DS)

NImH

Wonderful review per usual, and great news as well, @zipmon. Been looking forward to Ever Oasis since its reveal and it's nice to see that we won't be disappointed.
My copy is in the mail and I'll be taking the plunge this week! Woot!

Re: Video: The Top 5 Most Embarrassing E3 Moments by Nintendo

@Haywired seriously? When I hear people complaining about how horrible the Wiimote response was, all I hear is my little kids whining as they frantically wave their arms from the East to the West, pointing at the TV screen for a fraction of a second.
A heap of lame/lazy games aside, I had only a couple of instances of frustration during my 6 years with the Wii.
