Re: Review: Final Vendetta - A Violent Love Letter To '90s Arcade Brawlers

I hate to say it but I've never been so underwhelmed by a game I had anticipated so much. It feels completely unfinished. I'm a big fan of both developers, but this just isn't it. Allowing one credit without any option to alter that is frankly ridiculous, and insulting. The A.I is completely unbalanced and cheap, even on easy. The wrestler character may as well not exist, he's too slow, not powerful enough, has terrible attack animations and gets completely overwhelmed instantly. There isn't enough enemy variety, in the lift section of level three you are surrounded by six of the same character only with colour swaps. Setting it within London is a great idea, only you have no idea that's where it's meant to be. The levels don't even have names or area titles. A huge disappointment all-round and though it pains me to say it, i wouldn't waste your money on it at this point. They took this out the over way too early.

Re: Reggie Doesn't Seem To Think Nintendo Has "Abandoned" F-Zero, Says There's Still Hope

@NinChocolate I wholeheartedly agree with everything you say. I think the problem is, and as silly as it it is, is that companies like Nintendo feel they have to continually innovate, as to not appear as though they are being lazy. F-Zero is a racing game, that's all it needs to be. It's when they 'Innovate' like they have done with Starfox in the past that it all goes wrong. it doesn't need fixing.

Re: Konami Just Recorded Its Most Profitable Year Ever

@daveMcFlave Yep, me too. I have heard absolutely zero on anything new happening though since they opened the floodgates, which is now at least six months ago. Although aren't they now supposedly making a new Castlevania? from the success of all the indie inspired games you'd think that they'd of jumped on this long ago. Like most big developers of the era, they are sat on a goldmine of incredible stuff, and we mere mortals are stood at the gates waving our cash to no avail. The cowabunga colelction is going to print money and hopefully begins a new line of collections, an arcade one would be amazing, but featuring their really good games that have never released before.
