May I suggest for a future Box Art Brawl the NES game Air Fortress? Not only is it a great semi-forgotten classic, it has three very different box art designs, each with its own merits. The Japanese one is wild!
@MatoFilipovic Funny, when I first played it when it came out, I remember being disappointed with the length, but going back to it in recent years I had no issue with that. But I spend less time on games now, so I appreciate the shorter length. And I've come to really adore the incredible sprite art and creative level design. It's now my favorite in the series.
When anyone buys the Mega Man Legacy Collection, they're buying Mega Men 1 through 6. So it seems to me that the Collection sales numbers should also count towards the individual titles within them. That would mean Mega Man 2 has sold 3.11 million copies overall, Mega Man 3 has sold 2.68 million, and Mega Man X has sold 2.56 million - all of which are higher than Mega Man 11's 2 million.
The US and Europe ones are both too busy - screenshots should be left for the back of the box. Japan's just looks lazy. What they should have done is just use the middle of the Europe one... like THIS:
Stunt Race FX. I had a lot of fun with that game when it was new, but the abysmal framerate and tiny viewport make it unplayable to my spoiled eyes today. If ever there was a perfect candidate for a remaster...
@OrangeSoda I've been wanting a Mario game that's structured like a Zelda game. Imagine riding Yoshi across an interconnected Mushroom Kingdom, visiting different areas to find stars, maybe using switch palaces to unlock new power-ups allowing you to reach new areas. I think that would be awesome.
@Yoshif3 I know it seems odd, but here's the thing: 50/50 is no less likely than any other specific outcome you could bet on, like 62/38 or 71/29. It's just more noticeable. In fact it's more likely in a case like this, where both options seem to be equally popular. This is why voting is important. OK, not so much here, but in elections, absolutely. Candidates have won or lost by a single vote before, and it will happen again. YOUR vote matters! OK, civics lesson over. : )

Re: Super Mario Galaxy Movie's New Trailer Shares A "First Look" At Yoshi
@MysteryCupofJoe Yoshi isn't being sacrificed. He can safely flutter-jump down to the ground without (adult) Mario weighing him down.

Re: Zelda: A Link To The Past And Chrono Trigger Are "Ripe For Remakes", Says Analytics Firm
I just want a remake of Mario 64.
Re: Mega Man Is One Of Capcom's "Most Important IPs" Despite No New Games In 7+ Years
@ShieldHero Mega Man doesn't exactly have trilogies, but it kind of works if you divide them up this way:
The NES classics:
Mega Man
Mega Man 2
Mega Man 3
The latter NES games:
Mega Man 4
Mega Man 5
Mega Man 6
The 16/32 bit era:
Mega Man 7
Mega Man 8
Mega Man & Bass
The retro throwbacks:
Mega Man 9
Mega Man 10
Street Fighter X Mega Man
The modern era:
Mega Man 11
Edit: So really, they need to make two more games to complete the current "trilogy"!

@AerosTactician Gotcha.

@AerosTactician Huh? I don't see what you're talking about.
Re: Review: Donkey Kong (GB) - One Of The Game Boy's Very Best
One of my all-time favorites. I still have the original cart, in fact I've had it so long I had to replace the battery at some point.
By the way, for all those lamenting the lack of color here, there's a fan-made full-color patch in the works - look up Donkey Kong DX.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (6th July)
@sd7232 "Super Mario 64 ... Has anyone pretty much completed without using walkthrough / strategy guide?"
I did. In 1996. In the snow. On Cool, Cool Mountain. And I had to triple-jump uphill both ways! 😄
You got this. What I wouldn't give to play my favorite Mario game again for the first time.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Nervous To Replay In Case They Don't Hold Up?
@Darknyht "Doom on any console pre sixth generation is hard to go back to."
But Doom on PC with a modern engine and mods is fantastic!

Re: Hands On: 'Reggie: The Game' Is A Promising, Gravity-Defying Platformer That Oozes Charm
"Being able to manipulate gravity throughout an entire game, though? That's a pretty new one (shush, Gravity Rush and VVVVVV fans)..."
You didn't mention MetalStorm fans, so I'm in the clear! A fantastic NES forgotten gem.
Re: Talking Point: Could Another Nintendo Series Take Over The 'Traditional' Zelda Template?

Re: Atari Acquires Intellivision Brand And Rights To 200+ Titles
Well well well, it's looking more and more like those Atari logos in Blade Runner weren't so anachronistic after all!
Re: Random: Nintendo Emulator 'Delta' Changes Its Logo After Heat From Adobe
They could change the logo to a river delta.
It even kind of makes sense for an emulator, symbolizing one source leading to many experiences.
Re: 'Quake II Remastered' Rated Ahead Of QuakeCon 2023
@mereel They were bought by Atari, not Epic, so we'll just have to see how it goes.
