Missed the opportunity to call it "Axiom Verge: Prequel" and grab some of that AVP googles.

The physical with the original version. Is this an import or a limited run release or what? I have it on Xbox, but I never fire up the Xbox.

They released an anniversary arcade collection that didn't include Frogger. Maybe they should outsource their decision making to anybody but themselves.

They need to outsource anybody applicable to get a PCENGINE/TURBO collection on Switch 'cause I ain't buying a stupid plastic box with a chip in it.

@KateGray

Just type IDBEHOLDV. I believe in you.

@everynowandben

Messenger 2. Make it 5. 🤘

I wouldn't be caught dead possessing a plastic video game character figurine. I guess Nintendo just saved me from buying an overpriced Wii game.

Data East games I want on Switch:

Override
Bloody Wolf
Silent Debuggers
Burger Time

Jaleco games I want on Switch:

That one Natsume did

Telenet games I want on Switch:

@Caryslan

Where’s the NES Bad Dudes port?

Nintendo Switch = the ultimate in Telenet/Jaleco/Data East emulation

I trust Devolver with my life so I guess I’ll give it a
whirl.

We're getting 64. Mario and Zelda 35th or whatever. I'll wager my child.

Some you cats give the king of diddling a little too much credit. The man could dance and sing, but his keyboard player totally wrote those instrumentals.

@Caryslan

I wonder if it's an emulation issue? I mean, if you're dumping a bunch of Genesis/Mega Drive roms into a cheap product, how much effort would you want to put into it? Possibly none?

I know how to type 80085 and also 7734 and turn it upside down.
I had one of those fancy graphing calculators. I didn't learn much maths, but I did make animations of leather daddy's doing as leather daddy's do.

@Darlinfan

We both agree that Manfred Trenz is a hearthrob, and that counts more than anything.

I wonder what Cave owns of Cave (and is Cave really active anymore? As a business, they've been around, I suppose). How much does one have to deal with Sega (Atlus) and Taito to get some Cave goodness out to the world? M2 seems to be working on it. But it's M2, and their perfectionism can take forever. Have they released any of the Toaplan ports yet? They acquired the rights two or three years ago it seems.

More importantly, why did I keep passing on DonDonPachi when the Saturn was relevant? Radian Silvergun too. I had the Psikyo and Taito and Irem titles. I was dumb.

I got news for the world. Sonic 1&2's prevalance and 3 and Knuckles absence has everything to do with: sales numbers.

@Darlinfan

You say that the Switch releases are available as if I don't have to jump through hoops to get them from Japan. :0

@Diogmites

What could be worse:
Not having Guwange?
Buying an Xbox One X and finding that Guwange is the only backwards compatible Xbox 360 Cave port you can get ahold of? :0

Seriously, what is with the dearth of Cave ports?

Disney be using their brains. Noice.

SNL was always pretty lame. Remove the nostalgia goggles. It's just Hee Haw from New York, after all. In standup, you can spend 10 years developing your first 1 hour act. British serials: six episodes and Bob's your uncle. Nobody is funny enough to write live sketch comedy bangers every week. Although, the stuff they let Kyle and Beck produce and then never air on television is pretty legit. Elon performed better than I had anticipated. Yes, what I have seen from it is much like a trainwreck, but he wore that trainwreck like a fine piece of jewelry.

@DrDaisy

They need to port the Keio platformer with English subtitles so that I can know what the heck I was playing on Saturn on 1995.

@Kidfunkadelic83

My suggestion would be Skyforce Reloaded because it will require you to play levels over and over again as part of the game progression.

Sonic on a go-cart is a bit like Superman riding coach on PanAm, innit?

Watch them buy Xbox from Microsoft and blow our minds 😂

When developers/publishers create game trailers that run a cartoon for the first 75% of the runtime, I usually presume it’s a QuickTime Event game for the Sega CD and move along.

I don’t remember Raiden looking like this.

@getyourak

Surely I’ve bruised up far too many Neo-Nazis for an 8chan invitation? 😇

Who names a product "Sturmfront" in 2021? What's the follow up going to be? "Kay-Kay and Clan"?

@getyourak

All based on two things. 1.) A sole Kotaku article. 2.) Some sort of naive outlook on the world where the company that publishes Code of Princess Ex wouldn't patently house creeps.

He should put a dildo on the shelf and then tell everyone it totally means something.

@Paraka

You have that 9 upside down. Bomberman '94.

Why aren't these games showing up as updates or DLC to the Konami Anniversary collections (that, fyi, didn't even have Frogger, lol).

Also, where's Raiden. Heck, where's Cotton and all of the M2 shmups I saw everyone review a year ago? I ain't doing this multiple accounts on my switch crap. :0

Rabble rabble. Hey kids, get off of my lawn!

@Desrever

Custom mode is/was a ruin? It just showed up for me on an update.

@Ooyah

Holy crap. I didn’t even try beating 2. 😭

On E3, they’re announcing N64 on Online w/ the two Zelda titles doubling as the anniversary celebration. Possibly one of the portables too. That leaves Windwaker, if I’m not mistaken. Either GameCube online too or as separate. Mario having been limited, it’s either N64 online or N64 annnd GameCube.

You didn’t happen to find Hamster’s Raiden port while sorting through the e-shop at all did you?

I’ve played the NES titles and they’ve all blended together. I know which one is Mega Man 2 because of that giant face cloud platform thing in the old marketing materials.

"Video Game Crash" is Atari speak for the time when Commodore64 owned the video game market.

Looking forward to the rumours about them announcing their KKR buyout at E3.

Glass half full, maybe they’re planning to finance an independent developer to make a new Castlevania and Metal Gear titles?

I bought the Gameboy on launch and I did not know about any space shuttles. So, feel good.

Or just call it by it’s alternate title “Dungeon crawler for pedo otaku creeps.”

I never in my life thought I’d own an Xbox console. They won me with the One X and they’ve already got a Series X sale with my name on it, sometime, when stock is normal in 2022. I had gamepass. I did not enjoy the process of downloading massive files to a hard disk and then deleting them to make space. I did indeed buy the games I took a chance on and liked. I was combing through the current stable and was pretty impressed. They’ve got a lot of games I already own and really like. I’m not into renting so much. I want to be able to have a year in between playing something if need be. It’s not for me, but it’s so enticing if it’s your thing. Currently, there’s a lot of games on gamepass I’d rather play with an 8bitdo pad. I could see people trying in gamepass and then buying on Switch over controllers or the ability to play portably. Generally, however, the point is pretty mute. Publishers/Developers get compensated by Gamepass and I want to believe a lot of customers are playing games they had no intention of buying/trying out.

I don’t believe Bloomberg. I don’t believe Square Enix. The good news is: I don’t care. 😂

Nothing emotes the experience of speeds surpassing the sound barrier as much as a game of cards.

@EriXz

Surely, you mean Sony and Nintendo. Microsoft will literally pay the development costs for a thirdy party game just to get it on Gamepass while allowing it to be sold on Sony and Nintendo systems.

Everyone on here is thinking of SquareEnix as that company that makes Square and Enix games. They're forgetting it's the future and SquareEnix is that company that makes Tomb Raider, Just Cause and used to make Hitman.

@Caryslan

I believe that Nintendo has the same net worth as all of Sony.
Meanwhile, I know that Microsoft can afford to buy, both, Sony and Nintendo, two times over.
