Just give me all of them. (again)

From publishing Dodonpachi Resurrection, Death Smiles and Akai Katana to this....

@Balta666 sure.....

@Gamerhenky
Does it even matter at this point?
It's not like these games get reviewed on their merits anyway.
The reviews for these games are even more generic and low effort than the games they tend to paint in such a way.
So why does it even matter that a review uses pictures from an unrelated game and a header from a game that came out in 2012?
Anyone with even the slightest bit of interest in the series knows by now that you don't look to mainstream sites for a worthwhile review on any of these titles.
Unless it has a Nintendo licence attached to it of course, in which case they all of a sudden get a heap of praise for being, well the same as the other games in the series.

After Stormy's book, what do you expect?

Two questions. Who, and why?

Aren't we meant to be boycotting this game for some stupid reason?

After the way they handled the Vita and it's fans, I personally wouldn't trust them enough to buy a new handheld from them anyway.
And that's coming from someone who had the Vita as his main gaming system for a couple of years.

That's what they did the first time around.
Didn't work.

@EmirParkreiner
Oh, thank you so much for that, I'll add it to my bookmarks!
Just saw that he did a post TGS post and the Hamster booth.
Sad to see there's still no Japanese physical release for the Psikyo Collection Vol.1, but at least I got my preorder in for the Korean version.
And good to see him confirm Strikers 1999.

@GrailUK that's certainly true.
After seeing games like Grandia, Shenmue, Streets of Rage and others return, there's certainly hope.
The issue with Popeye is that there's not much of a fanbase clamouring and requesting it to come back. So it'll probably keep flying under the radar.

@Hck ah, thanks for that.
I had no idea Grandia doesn't have a Japanese release planned right now.
That sounds so weird to me.
Already got my Monster Boy physical copy preordered from Videogamesplus, since it's digital only in Europe.

@GrailUK Popeye is my most wanted Nintendo arcade game that I'd want to see come home again, but I fear that the licence stands in the way of that. While it's not in high demand at all, it would up the price of the release for sure, so I don't know if Hamster would be willing to go that route.
It would be a very nice prestige release for them though.

@Sinton Yeah, a good stick always costs a bit of money.
But in the end you're better of getting a high quality one instead of one of those cheap knockoffs that are not much good and you'll end up not using for very long.

@EmirParkreiner Thank you for that really exiting bit of info!
I only check their website and official Twitter account so I missed that.
Could you link me up perhaps?

@Hck Any impressions of Grandia 1 by any chance?
I'm kinda anxious since they talked about having bloom and some other new things thrown in as well as basing this port on both the PSone and Saturn code.
Hoping it's more Saturn than PSone...

@Sinton
The Hori one is really good. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hori-Real-Arcade-Pro-Hayabusa/dp/B01N4P40LG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1537709286&sr=8-1&keywords=hori+switch+arcade

Although if I had known beforehand that I could use my PS4 Hori Premium VLX Kuro with a Brook adapter on Switch, I wouldn't have bought it.
Still, a quality stick though.

@masterLEON @OorWullie
Just would like to add that Strikers 1945 Plus is more like a remix of Strikers 1945 II than a port though.
Sometimes it's very close and at others, there are quite a couple of big changes, even in the stages. On top of that there's different music, enemy patterns from time to time and an extra ship for example.
Oh and PINK bullets!

Bah. Kids the days!

@dleec8
Curses!
D:

I really want the big Switch bunduru!

Between the terribly written and super predictable reviews, the copy&pasted tweets masquerading as news, misleading articles that get facts wrong, top X lists being divided over as many pages as possible to maximise page hits and click-bait videos with no worthwhile content, my urge not visit this site anymore is definitely growing.

Can't help but feel Doughlings: iOS would have been a more appropriate name.

Rubbing more salt into the wounds that we don't have underwater monster hunting anymore.
Bet it was intentional!

;P

@SuperFamBros That's a good description of why I was disappointed with World and didn't keep playing it for very long.
Got it on Xbox this spring and despite a handful of improvements that made the game basically simpler overall as well as the absolutely gorgeous graphics, it just didn't click with me. It's kinda weird as it was supposed to be the ultimate Monster Hunter game yet it left me cold.
I wasn't even planning on getting the Switch release at launch because of this, but since a couple of friends decided to get it, so did I. When it came in the mail, I wasn't even excited, yet here we are, 4 days later and it's all I've been playing as well as thinking about.
So no, I don't buy all those QoL excuses on how the other games in the series are all of a sudden a step back, or borderline unplayable. Far from it.

Fantastic feature! More of this please!
These are the kinds of things that set a site apart, and yes, I know how much work it takes, and that's why so few do it.
Again, well done!

Yet still no Mature...

Dear God, I hope he feels the same way about this battle royal "genre".

@GrailUK Sell your Switch and buy a Wii U with the money instead.
Problem solved!

Played a bunch of King of Fighters 98 and Fatal Fury Real Bout 2 on it this past week.
Works brilliantly. So much better than the original. Now I don't have to keep my pro controller handy when playing these in portable mode.

Finally an article with at least some meat on it's bones.
Good work Alan!

@Orwellianson When I first saw your reply I was like what in the hell..., then I looked up his post.
Yep, you're on point here!

@HobbitGamer Because it takes over 50 hours to complete every single puzzle without any misses and the game is 9€, not 45€.

@Jayenkai If this was 3D Picross, I'd agree with you as that one thrives on touchscreen controls.
That being said, 2D Picross games have always been best with a d-pad and buttons ever since the 90's.

@NintyNate I bet those labels that said it was made in those countries were made in China!

@Anti-Matter Well everything is made in China...

So today in the "no ****! Sherlock" news segment.

@Shiryu Are those sheep or cows that you're talking about there?

Now for an actual challenge, do it with a plastic bag.
That will add a sense of urgency to it!

Yep, I'll be buying this game for a 3rd time...

So even moderators are now condoning the downloading of ROMs from these kinds of site on here?
Wow.

I have all these games on my Wii U.
Bought them the day they came out.
And I'll gladly repurchase them all on my Switch on release as well.
Keep em coming!

How is that for a change?!

Please let this be King of Fighters!
But aren't they located in Osaka? hmm

@HobbitGamer Oh snarky cynicism.
Well, I got no rebuke to that at all!
You win the internet today, good sir!

@nukatha
A meme for a meme!

@Xaessya And how many people do that, realistically?

Sweet! Another advertisement for piracy. Just what we needed.

@TessellatedGuy Pun intended, I presume?

@Savino Indeed!
Once they stop drawing penises everywhere they can, you know they are up to something!

But I'm on to them! I sure am!

@ramu-chan
Fun little fact. I actually bought Elevator Action Returns on Saturn back in the day solely because the shopkeeper mentioned that it had the original arcade game in it as well.
Had no idea that Returns would turn out that great.

All that creativity, yet not a single penis in sight!
Now that's mighty impressive!

As for "something new", please be Elevator Action Returns 2, but no 3D shenanigans. All 2D pixel art.

One of the better articles I've read as of late. Bravo!
