@outsider83 I am very used to people just taking a look at the final score. This is an issue we have with modern society that I have been aware and leanr to live with for many years now.
@outsider83 One of the games I mentioned on the review, Einhänder.
Big influence on Rigid Force Alpha / Redux for sure. Fear not, this one has aged flawlessly.
@Agent721 I've heard of it but never played it. The collectors edition really is that: for collectors. I prefer to invest that money on indie eshop titles rather than physical good that eventually just end up taking precious space at home.
@EmirParkreiner Thanks for clarifying that, I was surprised to find a coupon for it in my box since the initial news was that it was a bonus download of the Special Edition. I am unable to edit my own review once it has been posted, but if one of the senior staff members happens to read this, they might do so.
@zool Space Invaders is a very special series for me because it is where my feverish, unending passion for mush began. To be able to have this ready to go anytime, anywhere is priceless.
@zool The Play-Asia one. Considering there is a good possibility this won't make it to the West, I found it was acceptable trade-off to play Space Invaders Extreme on my 56" LCD.
@MattAllsopp Q*uick *T*ime *E*vents, as seen on *Resident Evil 4 and Shenmue. Mid cutscene, a prompt pops up with a button, direction or combination of both to press and if you don't do so in a timely fashion, something bad happens.
@KoopaTheQuick It's checkpoint based and it works wonderfully. You hit the brakes at a stop light with a racing event and the game generates a "track" across the city streets by adding numbered checkpoints.
@sik187 it is a simple image gif, not a clip. Just use the tag <IMG></IMG> with the image url in the middle but replace the <> with the rectangular brackets (Alt Gr+8, Alt Gr+9).
15 bucks little man. Put that game in my hands. If that money doesn't show me then you'll owe me owe me owe. My jungle love. Yea, owee owee owee ow. I think I wanna know ya know ya!
I see most of you are not getting the joke. Both Moon Cresta and Terra Cresta are two of Kamiya's personal favourite games of all time. In fact Terra Cresta also makes it to the top 10 favourite shmups of all time from yours truly. I would very much like that announcement to be real. So don't be mad at a company that keeps on pumping quality on the Switch for this April's fool. Instead be mad that Sol Cresta isn't a real thing. In fact, kickstart it and I will 100% finance it.
@Tasuki The American NES games were bonus content for the Japanese release, but even that one didn't have Nintendo World Cup. The reason surely must be licensing because that game was remade and published by Nintendo themselves, removing every mention of Kunio in the process. Arc System Works has no reach into that one because they only got games published and owned by Technos.
@Moroboshi876 Figured it out. The Japanese release has 19 games if you pre-ordered it, but the 19th game is Hanazono Koukou Dodge Ball Bu, not Shodai Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun as I believed in the dark corners of my mind. I will update the review ASAP.
@Moroboshi876 I am now doubting myself. I must do some detective work and if my mind is playing a trick on me, I will to need to revise this review z_z...
@Moroboshi876 No my good sir, the one game omitted I refer was the one present on the original Japanese release. I have in the past review both the missing title and sequel for Nintendo Life, feel free to look them up. I still hope some day someone will fan translate the Super Famicom baseball game, the only sport that Kunio didn't get to represent in 8-bit format... or let me dream of a Kunio World Classics Collection Volume 2: The 16-bit rubmles even including the solo Mega Drive and Neo-Geo games.
PS: I'd be happy with a Kunio Game Boy collection too.

Re: Review: Rigid Force Redux - This Will Tide You Over Until R-Type Final 2 Arrives On Switch
@YANDMAN The soundtrack alone is worth £15. But don't take my word for it, go listen for yourself.
Re: Review: Rigid Force Redux - This Will Tide You Over Until R-Type Final 2 Arrives On Switch
@VegasKeith You need this. Go grab it right now.
@Thesharkfromjaws It is. Go for it, no regrets.

@joey302 Nothing official as of yet, but Darius was also not supposed to come out in the West initially.
@BionicDodo Never played it sadly. :x

Re: Review: Space Invaders: The Invincible Collection - 40 Years Of History In One Package
@BionicDodo Yep, it's the same game. But the original arcade version is as expected vastly superior to all the home conversions.

Re: Review: Space Invaders: The Invincible Collection - 40 Years Of History In One Package
@SuperWeird Yes, you can grab this standard edition on the Japanese eShop. No online multiplayer except the online leaderboards.
Re: Review: Space Invaders: The Invincible Collection - 40 Years Of History In One Package
@zool Well, I bought this regular edition right here you see reviewed before your eyes but never even considered the 200 bucks one. Hint, hint!

Re: Old-School Arcade Side-Scroller Huntdown Explodes Onto Switch Today
Was already on my GOTY watchlist and now is 100% on the shortlist. Was not expecting the insanely good voice acting.

Still on the fence? Here is my first play gameplay.
Heavy Robocop vs Terminator vibes to the whole thing. A gem so soon after SOR4. We are lucky people!
Re: Platinum Sends Out Blank Switch Codes To Wonderful 101 Kickstarter Backers

Re: Review: Jay and Silent Bob: Mall Brawl - An Enjoyable 8-Bit Throwback, Warts-And-All
So, about that price point:
15 bucks little man. Put that game in my hands. If that money doesn't show me then you'll owe me owe me owe. My jungle love. Yea, owee owee owee ow. I think I wanna know ya know ya!

@Ventilator What kind of sorcery makes the flag image rotate I wonder... and what a coincidence it was the flag of my country on my first post view.
