Re: 3D Fighting Series 'Battle Arena Toshinden' Is Getting Revived For Modern Platforms

I remember showing off BAT to some friends that lived in my dormitory just a few days after I got my PS1 on release day in 1995 and they could not not ***** believe that was an actual game I was playing on my TV. Most of them didn't even know Sony had just released a console. I popped open the lid and showed them the game was on this sleek black CD and they just stared at it.

Re: Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection Finally Gets Switch 1 & 2 Release Date

What a stupid ass trailer. Nintendo back to their family friendly 90's tone complete with upbeat announcer Hey kids! You can play as all your faaaaavorite Mortal Kombat Kharacters, Sub-Zero, Scorpion, and even the mysterious Reptile! Smh, and by golly, we won't show any blood and gore even though the game will feature plenty of blood and gore. "Friendship matters". JFC.

@Zufolobelisk Yeh I feel the same way. Hey at least they aren't the 1st person to purchase a SWITCH 2 at midnight who opens the box and smashes the console to pieces with a sledge hammer in front of a crowd of people who stood in line for hours outside a Best Buy only to be told they didn't get enough units in for everyone to purchase. Remember those idiots who did that when the PS3 launched??

Re: Talking Point: How Do You Define 'Retro'?

As a gamer since the early 1980s, I consider any system from the ATARI 2600 (1977) going forward until the Genesis (1990)/ SNES (1991) to be "vintage". "Retro" to me, would be any system from the PS1 (1994)/N64 (1996) until the discontinuation of the XB360 (2005)/PS3/Wii (2006) systems. As a small child, I started gaming on the 2600 and had just turned 12 years old in 1985 when I was able to witness firsthand the gaming glory that the NES became. The SNES arrived when I was 18 so most of my young adulthood was consumed by that system up until the PS1 arrived when I was 22. Now I'm 51 and I'm still playing. Not as much as I used to, but I'm out there. I have fond memories of the dawn of what is now referred to as "home console gaming" and back then as a 12 year old kid never in my wildest hallucinations did I ever think we would have what we have today.

Consoles I have owned: ATARI 2600, 7800, NES, Gameboy, SNES, PS1, N64, Dreamcast, GBA, Gamecube, PS2, NDS, Wii, PS3, Switch, PS5.
