Re: Telltale Games Begins Majority Studio Closure With Mass Layoffs

Ironically, I wasn't as interested in the newer series because they were all popular names that didn't appeal to me. It makes me wonder why they didn't do more Sam & Max, Strong Bad, or Monkey Island? They own two of those names, so licensing fees could be mute.

Still. shame to see an iconic studio crumble down this badly. I wish the laid off luck.

Re: Excitebike Joins The Hamster Arcade Archives Collection On Switch Tomorrow

@Gs69 Donkey Kong is mechanically different on the arcade version. All three revisions are playable in the Hamster release, including the one the US got, which shakes up how the levels are ordered. For some reason, this detail is always left out when discussing differences; I feel that's the more important takeaway than the inclusion of the Pie Factory level and the graphics/audio changes. (Also there are online leaderboards)

For games like Mario Bros. and Excitebike on the other hand....There arent nearly as major differences. In fact, I think the sound is more bearable on Mario Bros. NES because Mario's footsteps are obnoxious as heck in the arcade.
