Re: Cult GBA RPG 'Riviera: The Promised Land' Is Getting An HD Remaster

Yggdra Union, Gloria Union and Blaze Union are getting a three-pack switch release actually. Got the Playasia page bookmarked, just search for Yggdra Union 3-in-1 Special Bundle. It actually released on 1/25 according to the page and youtube trailer.

I wish this was in english, but may pick it up anyway. I'll just treat it as a japanese study session.

Re: Soapbox: 15 Years Ago, The Action Replay Ruined Pokémon For Me

for me, using the game genie gave some of my genesis games a new lease on life. Atomic Robokid was unbeatable. games with time constraints allowed me to explore more of the levels.

So, for me it was more of “get the game, beat the game (or try to), then cheat”

Some games that were insufferable became fun when the difficulty was toned down. Or exploration that was not possible such as taking Tails branches in levels that Sonic had no access to through moon jump. Or going through Sonic branches as Knuckles because he can jump just that bit higher.

Re: Sega Plans To Revive Even "More" Legacy Franchises

honestly, Jet Set Radio got my heart pumping, I’m looking forward to all the games. Streets of Rage 4 was excellent so this should be part 5 or a re-imagining of the franchise.

Shinobi reminds me of Shinobi III but can Shadow Dancer get some love? Maybe a re-imagining of Altered Beast with greater Greek overtures than the original to give more immersion?

Thr screaming Sega at the end? That brought a tear to the young kid in my old heart. Gonna have to pull out the old Genesis and play some of the old games now.

Re: Dimps Arcade Fighter 'The Rumble Fish' Scores An Enhanced Switch Release

@Ryu_Miiyama, Who are you telling? I’ still waiting for my copy as well as the collector’s edition of Neo Geo Pocket Selection vol 2. Picked up a standard copy because I didn’t want to open the collector’s version. Got the standard but the other version is still out there.

At this point, I always head to play asia to see if the asian multi language is available instead as limited run can make waiting a painful endeavor.
I’ve only been going the limited run route when i have no other choice such as with the Jurassic park collection (after the genesis games were announce otherwise I would have skipped it).

The sad part is that there are games that I ordered previous that have come in sooner than the ngpc vol 2 collection.

Re: Takashi Iizuka Explains Timeline Placement Of Sonic Superstars

@samuelvictor Well, the problem with Sonic 4 is that the sprites used are not classic Sonic but modern Sonic. It had the potential to be great but the game engine that handled the physics ruined part I. They fixed it in part II but then forcing tails for gameplay purposes kind of took away from the experience as well. As an og fan of Sonic’s original entries, this was definitely the game with the poorest gameplay experience. The only thing I did not care from Sonic Mania were the special zones, although I do prefer them over Sonic CD and the ones from 3D Blast (Genesis/Mega Drive). Not to mention that the retro engine is a thing of beauty. I do hope that more games outside of Sonic are made with the engine as Sega is going their own route with Superstars and their future classic Sonic entries.

Re: Capcom Would 'Gracefully Decline' An Acquisition Offer From Microsoft

@IchibanKasuga With the Steam Deck making pc gaming more accessible to users, I can see why they said along with no longer having the need to have bleeding edge equipment to run games. And, remasters are not as a big thing to look into as PCs are mostly backwards compatible except for the oldest of games. And even those run with an emulation layer.

Re: Random: Modder Makes Switch OLED Run Cooler As A Dedicated Home Console

fpcreator2000

I like this project as it brings new life to a damaged console that may have a damaged screen, joycon rails or controls in the case of the lite version.

As for having Nintendo making the Switch 2 into a dedicated box? The ability to play in docked or handheld is the main charm of the Switch. Personally, I hope that the Switch 2 follows a similar play dynamic but with boosted tech and hall effect joycons with backwards compatibility.

Re: 'Thunder Ray' Looks Like The Perfect Spiritual Successor To Punch-Out

fpcreator2000

@Zidentia It’s my generation’s fault (80’s baby) LOL The nostalgia is inspiring many of my contemporaries to make their favorite games. I believe this is the case.

Not gonna lie, a fighting game rpg were you gain levels through fighting oppontents but you move in an overworld and visit towns was my dream and now I got Street Fighter 6. Living the dream.

Re: 'Thunder Ray' Looks Like The Perfect Spiritual Successor To Punch-Out

fpcreator2000

Looking forward to it. Arcade archives’ Punch Out and Super Punch Out are great but I need a new kind of game, even its fundamentally the same formula but that can be argued for many genres such Street Fighter and King of Fighters. Or the Metroidvania formula. Or how about Rogue/Rogue lite? Or how many other games that play like Enter the Gungeon.

Some comments as to why another punch out style game when not many get made, but then crickets when the next roguelite gets released.

@Ryu_Niiyama I’m having similar issues. Trying to find the swap, tap and at this point I’m desperately trying to stick the cards into the vents to see I can complete the transaction!? No dice…sigh.

Extremely excited. Getting it for Steam and the switch (if it comes out for it). this game is getting double dipped if that is the case.
