Re: SNK Gals' Fighters Mysteriously Removed From The European eShop

TheFineLens

Looking at an eShop tracking website, three Johnny Turbo games are missing, Break Thru, Night Slashers, and Fighter's History (All Data East games).
Break Thru and Night Slashers disappeared around the 16th of November, with Fighter's History leaving around the 10th of January.
Strange considering that Joe and Mac, Sly Spy, and other Data East games are still available when these three are missing.

Re: Feature: 30 Games We Might Get On The SNES Mini Classic Edition

I always thought the reason Ninty can't re-release Star Fox/Starwing is because Argonaut Games owned the rights to the Super FX chip and thus partly owned the rights to all Super FX games (Stunt Race FX, Yoshi's Island, DOOM SNES, etc.) and no one knows where those rights went when the company was liquidated in 2006? If someone could clarify for me that would be nice.

I was actually going to back this with enough money to get at least a digital version, maybe even the retro box reward, ended up not supporting the Kickstarter (too many risks), and now, since I don't own any of the other platforms, I'm rater glad I didn't..

Re: Video: Get Hype For The Kutar Series With This Gloriously Unhinged New Trailer

TheFineLens

You KNOW you have a good trailer when the viewer knows less about your products after watching it.

Joking aside this truly is a terrible trailer, watching it provides astonishingly little information about the products they are trying to sell, no release date, no system info, it even fails to tell you that the games are sold separately! As a compilation and at a low price, say $4-$5, maybe, this might be alright, but at $1 each? $10(!) for the full set? No thank you, good sir!

Circle games are (in my opinion)... Okay at best, fun at first, but get boring quickly and are eventually forgotten about, their RPGs tend to last a little longer, but arcade style games like these just end up getting lost to the mists of time...

Anyway, to sum it up, this trailer is terrible, these games will probably be terrible, and Circle is (mainly) terrible.

Nobody's reading this wall of text, are they?
