@StewdaMegaManNerd That's because you played 2 on the Legacy collection. You can't form an honest opinion unless you play that game how it was intended, on a NES with a CRT tv.
I first played 2 after I played 3. My friend who went went to visited his grandparents in Texas one summer played 2 on an NES that they rented for him and Megaman 2 was one of the games. He told me about it but all I could find was Megaman 3 at my rental stores so I played that first. A few Christmases later my parents got me 2 and 3.
I liked 2, I still play it yearly on my NES Mini but 3 is my favorite followed by 2 and 4.
@JohnnyMind Thats how we ended up getting the Ken Griffey Jr games on SNES. I guess Yamauchi always wanted to own a baseball team and for one reason or another the Mariners came up for sale and he bought it. Sadly he never went to a Mariners' game even though he owned them.
My guess is maybe GS will use the name for a news site or possible and advertising site. They more than likely needed to do something with the name or risk losing it.
My son got 300 once when we played a game back in the day. I was so proud of him. That was one of our favorite games to play together when he was younger.
Avowed (Series X) I am just about to wrap up Dawnshore. I have a few areas to explore and the main quest line to finish.
WWE 2K24 (Series X) Started up a GM Mode against my son. I am currently Eric Bischoff running WCW and he Teddy Long running ECW. We also threw in a couple of computers just to spice things up a bit.
World of Warcraft Classic Anniversary (PC) Still playing this one mostly just been building up my crafting lately.
I am a victim to that mainly in World of Warcraft particularly mounts. I have spent countless hours farming for rare mounts in WoW and manged a few of them, a few no longer available in game.
@StewdaMegaManNerd Check places like Gamestop, Local Game Stores, Flea Markets, Garage Sales for a copy at a reason place. Online place like Ebay will just have scalpers offering it with inflated prices.
While I like the anime cover of the Japanese version, it's just too generic, it doesn't say Ninja Gaiden to me at all, heck it doesn't even say ninja to me at all. So I went with the NA cover. I was a kid at the video store looking at rentals, I would just choose the NA one because it has a guy in a full blown ninja suit on the cover.
One thought though. I thought they couldn't use the word Ninja in Europe hence Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles. So what was Ninja Gaiden called? Hero Gaiden?
I still have an original Xbox hooked up so I can play THPS3 to this day. I am not worried how 4 comes out since I will only be playing 3. As long as 3 stays the same I will be good.
Avowed (Series X) Really enjoying this game alot, I find it relaxing just exploring and doing the quests. Still doing side quests around Paradis before moving onto the main story. I believe I am level 7 right now. Really enjoying the combat and just learning about the world.
World of Warcraft Anniversary Classic (PC) Going to try and do a few dungeons tonight Wailing Caverns to be precise and maybe Shadowfang Keep OG. Been years since I have done either of them so it's going to be fun to see what I remember.
Sims 2 (PC) Mainly dinking around with this game but then again isn't that what Sims are all about.
I also would like to get back into Indiana Jones if I have time this weekend but we will see if I have time.
@dartmonkey I know that same pain. I remember getting the SNES T2 game for Christmas when I was a kid. A few hours later my excitement turned to disappointment.
@FragRed Technically this is the first time. Acclaim Entertainment was the game publisher and Acclaim Games was the company that ran online games. Similar names but not the same. I believe someone still owns the Acclaim Games name.
@Sonicka Vicarious Visions was absorbed into Blizzard to work on Diablo which at the time they were working on 3+4 and from what I remember were nearly done with it. That's when Bobby Kotick decided they should be working on Diablo instead and 3+4 was cancelled.
Avowed (Series X) Started this game a few days ago and I am loving it. I am not far into it been most just exploring the world. I Just got to Paradis and currently doing a dual welding axe and sword build.
The Sims 2 (PC) Still messing around with this game. It's mainly my chill game when I only have a bit of time to play a game.
World of Warcraft Classic Anniversary (PC) Still exploring the lands of Azeroth. I just arrived in Stonetalon Mountains with my Tauren Shaman.
@anoyonmus SNES had a platformer, run and gun game for the SNES but it had clunky controls poor hit detection and overall just a bad game, but it was done by LJN.
@LikelySatan Yeah Iron Galaxy is doing it due to VV being absorbed into Blizzard and working on Diablo now. Iron Galaxy took over Killer Insinct when Double Helix was bought by Amazon, they did the Switch ports of Skyrim the PS4/Xbox One port of Borderlands 2 and Pre-Sequel and Metroid Prime Remaster. I think if anyone can pull it off like VV it's Iron Galaxy.
@PandaHigh Right now I have a level.26 Tauren Shaman which is my main and then I have a level 14 Orc Warlock which I play when my son is on. There's just something I find much more relaxing with WoW Classic then I do with retail.
World of Warcraft Classic (PC) Continuing the grind on my Tauren Shaman. I just hit level 25 and I am starting to feel pretty powerful lol.
The Sims (PC) Messing around mainly still trying to do a no cheat run but I am starting to get tempted to do the money code.
Indian Jones and the Great Circle (Series X) Working on Siam which I find somewhat annoying but it's mainly because the boat travel. Storywise it's still great. Just navigate this damn boat is annoying.
Madden 25 (Series X) Well now that football season is over I need something to tide me over till the UFL starts and with this being on Gamepass....
I might also play some Diablo this weekend as I have the itch too just trying to figure out which one.

Avowed (Series X) Finished up with Dawnshore and now heading to the next area. Currently level 9
WWE 2K24 (Series X) Doing some GM Mode against my son and two computers. We just had our first PPV and I am currently on top with WCW.
That's probably it for me this weekend. Whatever it is your playing I hope you have a good one!!!

Re: Square Enix Publisher Sale Brings Delightful Discounts To A Boatload Of RPGs
So why is Dragon Quest XI S on sale on the Series X but not on Switch? Seems odd. I rather have it on Switch but I guess Nintendo dont like money.

Re: Nintendo Discounts Several Games On Switch For MAR10 Day (North America)
How faithful is Super Mario RPG to the original? Thinking of getting it but still on the fence cause I don't want it to be a sloppy remake.

Re: Nintendo Highlights Four Brand New Games "Coming Soon" To Switch
@NintendoByNature If you have never played Suikoden 1 or 2 I highly recommend them. They were a couple of the Playstation's best RPGs.

Re: Activision Teases Tony Hawk's Return In A New Update
@domatron66 But why the new parks label? That doesn't make sense.
Re: Activision Teases Tony Hawk's Return In A New Update
Kinda disappointed that its not a remaster of 3 and 4. At least I got my OG Xbox with a copy of THPS 3.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (Series X) Looking to get a bit of this in as well. Still enjoying this game.
Re: Call Of Duty Appears To Be Teasing Tony Hawk's Return
So two thoughts on this. It's either March 4th 2025 or it's Tony Hawk's 3+4 in 2025.
Re: Rumour: A New Tony Hawk's Pro Skater Remaster Might Be On The Way
@Olliemar28 THPS3 was the best one. That's the main reason I still have an OG Xbox hooked up.
Re: Rumour: A New Tony Hawk's Pro Skater Remaster Might Be On The Way
@Zeebor15 Actually, it was Neversoft that did the THPS series and they got folded into Infinity Ward.
