@Chlocean You took the words right out of my mouth. Killer 7 vibes all over this. One of my favorite games of all time. Still horribly overlooked even with all of Suda's success after it came out.
Just because it was traded for a half a million dollar card does NOT mean the cartridge is worth that much money. Heritage auctions would love to make us think it is, but if you want an example of them inflating speculative value look no further than the Nintendo Playstation auction that ended at less than half of the projected sale price.
I can't really see anything that offensive based on what I see in trailers. Is there a specific event within the story that may trigger people or something like that?
It should be noted that this game is essentially the blueprint for what would become chibi robo later on. Yes it influenced toby fox, but the structure of this game is almost exactly that of chibi robo.
@HobbitGamer Which dance? There are so many. But the one where he says action b*stard I need you seems to come about when Shin is distressed and in need of Action B*stards emotional support. Like when his mom beats up his dad. At least in the Funimation dub.
I would be all over this, and the mega man releases, if they weren't so damn expensive. I thought they learned their lesson after the mega man releases have still not sold out (Last time I checked), but apparently not. Throwing in retro goodies doesn't justify the price either.
@Rob3008 I dunno just because I usually don't have time to even look at most things online until the end of my workday. By that time it doesn't make much sense to comment at all, at least on this site. But after considering your comment...yeah maybe it's little dumb to mention it when I'm clearly the first.
Hell yes. Never had a first comment before. Happy that they decided to release this outside of Japan. I'm sure my wife will ignore me for days as soon as we get it.
Harry just wants kids to play OTHER games. If they just play fortnite all the time how will they ever experience senran kagura peach ball? Good show Harry, good show.
All of these are going to be awesome, but no mention of TATE mode support for the arcade collection? I hope Konami knows that TATE is a thing on Switch...maybe someone should fill them in.
@UnbreakableAlex In addition to what @link3710 said, it is a REALLY popular arcade title in japan. There's usually more than one machine in every arcade and a lot of people prefer it to be an arcade experience because they just love arcades (And rhythm games) that much more than the rest of the world. Not to mention that the drum in the arcade is wayyyyy bigger.
Calling a three headed physical switch release announcement for Minit, The Messenger, and Downwell, all on one cart. They've of course already announced that these games will be physical, but how else are you going to sell minit and downwell on their own when they cost next to nothing on the e-shop already? Maybe Minit and downwell on one cart and a standalone release for The Messenger. I'll buy all of them anyway they sell them, but tell us the details already!
@MysticGengar Because in most cases arcade versions of games (especially from the NES era) were much, much better than console counterparts. Ikari Warriors is definitely the one that sticks out most. But graphics, sound, and features not included in console releases is why they pump out these arcade versions.
Its time for all you haters to realize that Links Awakening is in fact THE BEST top down Zelda game. Except for maybe Link Between Worlds, but hopefully this re-release gets Links Awakening out of the shadow of Link to the Past.....which they'll probably re-make next year.
Can I just get Nintendo to allow me to remap the buttons? Playing platformers on this thing is a joke when they should be freaking excellent. The Y button needs to be a usable button, especially for handheld mode.
Thank god they put all of this back on. All the capcom stuff was unceremoniously deleted from Spotify months ago. Glad to see its back with a vengeance.
I absolutely adore Commander Keen, but I’m interested to see if that love is all nostalgia or if this game is really going to hold up. I sincerely hope it does
Tsuppari Oozumou is the freaking best game that nobody outside of Japan realizes that they actually NEED. I got so into it when I first started playing that I started watching Sumo whenever its actually available on TV or even online. This and Joy Mech Fight alone are totally worth setting up a Japanese account.
@ultraraichu glad someone else looked at the sold listings. I saw some that offered "Local Pickup".......not predatory at all. Or maybe they just want to laugh in your face after purchasing something for triple the price.

Re: Talking Point: What's The Best Firework Sequence In A Video Game?
@DennyCrane My vote as well. They seem to be just focusing on games that are on Nintendo platforms. Understandable I guess.

Re: Lollipop Chainsaw's Remake Scores A Sweet Release On Switch This September

@John_Deacon vice project doom is by far the most underrated game on this list 9/10 easy. Better than ninja gaiden
Re: The Wacky World Of Crayon Shinchan Arrives On Switch With Surprise North American Launch
@HobbitGamer Which dance? There are so many. But the one where he says action b*stard I need you seems to come about when Shin is distressed and in need of Action B*stards emotional support. Like when his mom beats up his dad. At least in the Funimation dub.

Action B*stard I neeeeed youuuuuuu.

Re: Video: Can You Complete Super Mario Odyssey Without Walking?
Cinemassacre just did a video where they progress in Super Mario Bros by only jumping backwards, no forward movement allowed. Pretty entertaining.
