@rushiosan What do you mean by proper versions? 🤔 MVS versions? Available for years. AES versions? Were available for Android and iOS for years, I think. NEO•GEO CD? Those had loading time issues, if I'm not mistaken. PS1 ver.? New game modes and gallery, at the cost of reduced graphics and animations.
Metal Skug 6 port? An Atomiswave game port? From SNK? No chance. KOF XI is still stuck on Atomiswave, PS2, and PS3. Imo, everything past 3 were varying from "not bad" to "poor". X including, which was a 2 remake, lol. I like original more. 4 is the worst mainline game deservedly. 5 is not bad. 6 actually sucks, in comparison to others. All characters have their unique stats. It was a new addition/mechanic to the series. And it wasn't used onwards. Guess why, lol. But still I rate it poor. It's just on a tiny miserable bit better than 4. XX didn't please me as well. But it was better than 4 and 6, on a very tiny bit. @PKDuckman KOF98UMFE and KOF02UM are available on GOG and Steam, tho. Console versions? Only on PS2, I guess. Also, if I'm not mistaken, these are TAITO TYPE X games, not Atomiswave.
No mouse controls, lol. Anyway, it's one of the few new (not rerelease/collection/remaster/remake) games of this year that I'm interested in. If I'll get Steam Deck or gaming PC, I'd like to give it a try. I'm fine with Switch 1 for now, as my main gaming platform.
Still coming to Switch 1, huh?
Unlike Decapolice, with its Switch 1 and PS4 versions ending up being cancelled.
Level-5 is Level-5, as usual for last years.
And, Ushiro will never see the light of the day in video game form, as it was supposed to be twice – first time on PSP, second time on Switch 1.
Oh, and where are our worldwide releases of Switch Yō-kai Watch ports, huh!?
Reminder that ASW are the ones who excluded rollback netcode from their Switch ports – BBCF, +R, BBTAG, DBFZ, P4U2R, DNF Duel. Strive was their first (and last, it seems) Switch FG port that got rollback after all these years. Meanwhile smaller games were receiving rollback – Skullgirls, Type Lumina, UNI2, Them's Fightin' Herds.
Maybe I'll play it someday... And, not Ōkami related, but... Yoshihisa Kishimoto, the man behind Double Dragon and Kunio-kun, has passed away. Where's article about him?
So, another cartoon filled with references to games but shallow plot? It's excusable to games, but I prefer movies/cartoons to feature plot. I rated first movie a 5/10, after giving it a try, but watching the same thing twice? No thanks, I'd rather play games then, lol.
@Baker1000 You've compared a cult classic game to some mobile AR advertise of Pokémon. @ImpromptuR Is that why people still buy sport sims and Call of Duty every year? @MoldyPasta I've never played it, lol.
NA one for me this week. I like both Kyōsuke and Kim, while Sagat and Geese are okayish. I'd prefer Shin Gōki with God Rugal in the background. ⚡ JP/PAL one featuring Haōmaru on the first plane with half faces of Ryū and Kyō in the background is bland. Both aren't good, especially in comparison to MVC2's cover art, but NA one is definitely better.
@Haruki_NLI Typical single-player mobile game that required constant internet connection, I guess. You know, like Gameloft's and glo's(? Deer Hunter dev) smartphone games.
«Virtua Fighter is one of SEGA’s most important IPs» 😂 Yeah yeah, sure... You can tell this to outsiders, but every FGs fan will laugh after reading that. If it was one of the most important SEGA's IPs, we'd gotten VF6 already, and Virtua Fighter Collection as well. And yeah, where is Virtua Fighter Collection? None of 3D FGs got collections yet. TEKKEN? Nope. SoulCalibur? Nope. Dead or Alive? Nope. Bloody Roar? Nope.
@Samalik Yeah, kinda. And they still pretend to ignore Quest Mode's existence from vanilla VF5. They even made Dural playable in single-player modes only in the latest update...
@JohnnyMind Story was one of the worst parts about Virtua Fighter. It almost didn't have it. And SEGA were reusing the same voice clips for tens of years. There's Virtua Fighter OVA, however, which has some plot. I've planned to watch it, but plans changed. Tho, I still want to watch it some day.
@LEGEND_MARIOID «Haven't played a Virtua Fighter game in years!» They're releasing VF5 for 20(!) years, lol. I don't think that you missed that much. 😁
«Arcade Mode and World Stage should keep solo players happy»
Still it's not the Quest Mode from vanilla VF5.
VF5 is probably the only case where I prefer vanilla version of the fighting game.
No characters from REV1 and REV2, that had Raid Mode with a good amount of playable characters with different skills, abilities, and skins? Again? 1. Quint Ketchum – he has one of the best melee damage and charge attacks in the game. Charge attack is a detonator that has not a bad range, doesn't hurt Quint, and he runs away after planting it, giving him change to dodge an attack. He's funny and smart. 2. Rachel Foley – regeneration ability (doesn't work on Abyss Stages, don't remember about Ghost Ships), Lvl. 2 skill Magnum use, Lvl. 1 skill Shotgun use (Windham is my favourite). She's considered to be one of the best characters for Raid Mode and Ghost Ships. And yeah, she's an eye candy, of course. 3. Clive O'Brien – one of the best characters for grind and farm. Voiced by late legendary Unshyō Ishizuka. 4...? Jill. I love her REV1 version. Her knife is crap tho, imo. She can't hurt enemies lying on the ground. That's about it.
No Morgan Lansdale nor Jack Norman, really?
This poll is incomplete without them.
And since you've included HUNK... Rachel Ooze shall be included as well.

Re: Review: Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage (Switch 2) - A Great Port Of Sega's Deep Yet Approachable Fighter

Re: Review: Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage (Switch 2) - A Great Port Of Sega's Deep Yet Approachable Fighter

Re: Poll: Who's Your Favourite Resident Evil Playable Character?
No characters from REV1 and REV2, that had Raid Mode with a good amount of playable characters with different skills, abilities, and skins? Again?

3. Clive O'Brien – one of the best characters for grind and farm. Voiced by late legendary Unshyō Ishizuka.
4...? Jill. I love her REV1 version. Her knife is crap tho, imo. She can't hurt enemies lying on the ground.
That's about it.
