Ha, more like, "Which one of these totally real things is the coolest?"

Best Theme Yet

Boo, no Virtual Console!

8 bucks a pop for Final Fight 2 and 3 is still better than $50 and $300.

I love how this devolved into Pokémon and Sonic fans debating over whose game sucks the hardest.

There's a "speed nuts to get their teeth into" joke in there somewhere, but it's early and I haven't woken up yet.

(Breaks out cassette tape of Dr. Feelgood and plays "Without You".)

Whew, that conjured up an old memory of growing up watching my oldest brother conquer Zelda 2 and Mario 3 with that record blasting at full volume, along with Ozzy No More Tears, Metallica Black Album, Def Leppard High N Dry, AC/DC Live and every KISS record.

The early 90s were awesome.

WB and Discovery, eh?

Fingers crossed for Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze and Croc Hunter Steve Irwin DLC fighters.

Wow, I didn't see any mentions of Motocross Maniacs. Its basically Excitebike GB.

Every name-able video game avatar gets the name of my dead cat Malice. Cut down by F.A.T.E. at age 7.

All hail Fami-ROB!!

Its badass, but it looks like a hoodie.

I was expecting a Ribera-style 1980s satin jacket.

Or maybe an embroidered denim affair, but I guess this isn't 1991. Dang!

@-wc-

It'll always be Burma to me!

🎵 Backpacking through SE Asia
Loaded!
Loaded!🎵

Great Priest tune

Hopefully the Metroid Prime physical releasing a couple days before doesn't take the piss out of this one.

Cool, maybe Minish Cap cartridges won't be $70 anymore.

Don't cross Strong Pimp Hand Link.

Aww, the soundtrack on cassette tape is restricted to the super-expensive EU-only version, boooooo

Dang, my Pleasantville prediction for the Order timeline turned out to be spot on!!

"Wally, wally, wally, wally, wally world."

I'm a 0%-er! But I really wanted that Conquest skill for whatever reason.

"I give it a few days before you can search for the track online and find it available for download free, ripped from the CD. The only way to enjoy music for me."

This is why musicians are killing themselves in droves. We need to go back to dial-up internet.

Kirby Superstar rips pretty hard.

Ys 1&2 intro and Lords of Thunder made the TG16 mini well worth it.

And where's the love for Tecmo Super Bowl??

Pocket Rumble is one I haven't heard mentioned yet but had some decent pixel art.

This was also in the interview:

"Since she usually draws young characters, she was concerned about her confidence level in some of the character design. It’s true that the designer’s skills should not be limited to drawing cool nobles and young girls."

Looks like a Red Flag to me, yikes!

I worked for an anime/manga distributor for a year. I had never immersed myself in that world before.

We had 22,000 SKUs for DVDs. Only 8,000 of them were non-pornographic.

After a while, it seemed like at the end if the day, most roads in the anime realm led to "cranking down to drawings of sexualized children".

This interview tidbit isn't doing the genre any favors.

I'm still excited for the awesome game gameplay mechanics, but it really is too bad about the character design.

Cue the meme of the dude walking with his Nintendolife girlfriend looking back to check out the Time Extension babe-a-rino that just passed by.

"Cheesy OTT Anime Silliness"

shudders

Fate-reject character designs whose personalities go about as deep as "cheery and loves helping people"

shudder intensifies

I guess the in-depth character development worked for Three Houses because it made one feel feelings when you eventually had to start killing your former friends.

Might wait to see if the Divine Edition pops up in stores after the scalper 30-day return policy expires. Just like with the loftwing and Metroid Dread amiibos.

Sam Jackson in a Toad hat: "Haven't you seen my movies?!?! This is how I talk!!!"

Do you get to call someone a donkey and then atomize a piece of salmon with a hammer fist?

Was it during the day? A sawed-off 12 gauge behind the counter is an effective deterrent.

I guess they never got to the end of Zelda 2..

@LikelySatan

Had to check the video. You are 100% spot-on. What's up with the edgy-bro stylized version of the ball bouncing over the lyrics?

What passes for "Metal" nowadays is an absolute joke, a computerized mess of white noise.

Can we go back to emulating Judas Priest and Iron Maiden?

On topic: Sports Story gets the shaft!

Peripheral neuropathy from shredding too much fish skeleton guitar without a proper warmup and stretching routine.

Dang, 75 bucks!

What is this, a Super Nintendo game in 1995?

@VR32X

I will fight Tooth and Nail to prevent that from happening!

Switch between old audio/visual and new, like R-Type Dimensions and that Wonderboy remake.

I like the part where George Lynch breaks out of his chains just in time to rip the guitar solo.

Wind Waker holds the title for "Most Brutal Depiction of Ganon Being Defeated" so I'll always have a soft spot for it.

The guy with the Bill Hicks avatar might recognize the protagonist as Randy Pan the Goat Boy.

It doesn't look like there will be a passage of time where all the characters come back more grizzled and pissed off.

Maybe that's why this one hasn't hooked me yet.

@DestructoDisk

I did it myself on MS Paint!

I have stickers made, but I haven't set up an online shop yet.

Thanks for digging it!!

If they XCX-ified the world of Xenogears, the Cream would hit the Kilt for a lot of people.

Finally, a new game that earns the distinction of being "badass" that isn't a shooter!

It's been too long since Cyber Shadow.

Peppa Pig with four eggs instead of two

Sucks for everyone involved getting the shaft, but if that kind of money was on the line for, say, a battle of the bands competition, we would have more kids putting hours into learning an instrument and the world would be a better place.

Edit: First attempt at posting an image. Holy crap, it worked!

Add this shirt and a mullet wig to one of the tiers and I'm all in.

Fonda: "No, man.. It's grass!"

Nicholson: "Now, is that what that is?"

Great work!

"Musician" is a little vague. Seems like "audio engineer" would be a better descriptor.

I drew out Lode Runner levels on my church bulletin as a kid. I'm a "game designer", guys!

Again, great work.

Game Gear not-so-Micro. I don't wanna spend 100 bucks on just Gunstar Heroes.

A Master System where FM Sound is applied to all the non-FM Sound titles would be cool.

Genesis 3 with CD and 32X. Plus MUSHA and Gaiares.

An MSX-specific collection might be cool.

Give us that Parodius collection already!

Edit: one more thing

Get with WayForward for Contra 4.5.

Tate mode, screen gap filled in, more extras, maybe another level or two. Would be sick!

One of my favorite bits from Mystery Science Theater

"Does he know dixieland jazz??"
