Nintendo of America's official date for Super Metroid is April 1, 1994. They used to have their release lists on their website. They don't anymore but someone made a copy at least -...

I hate auto-platforming, like in Uncharted. God forbid a player miss a jump in 3d space. Let's remove all skill out of platforming and make it so you magnetically attach to safety every time.

And...

3DS Shinobi is surprisingly good. Fans of 16-bit action games should check it out.

Flicky's cool but I'm not sure it could have the mass appeal of Angry Birds.

And if Sega revives any of their old bird games I hope it's Penguin Land.

The funny thing is that in 1994 Super Metroid was considered too easy and handholding by a lot fans of the original.

Anyone else been playing Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers on 3DS? It was originally a Saturn game and now it's finally in English. It's a pretty awesome dungeon crawler with '90s...

I finished The Immortal. I don't really consider it an RPG, though. Phantasy Star II was harder to beat from what I remember.

I had to do a double take that I was actually on Sega 16 when I read Sonic 1 of all games getting bashed by multiple people.

I had wanted to see 3d platformers happen since the '80s, played early experimental stuff like Alpha Waves while patiently waiting for more breakthroughs to occur. I was really impressed with Super...

It would be nice if Nintendo re-released their arcade games instead of pretending they didn't exist.


Sega has been doing much more of that lately, individual and/or small package releases on...

I own the real thing for most games I want so I never bought many VC games. Game Gear Shinobi on 3DS is the only one I bought recently since my GG is dead. M2 always does a nice job with the...

What a strange generalization. Some people enjoy competing or co-operatively playing games with people (as opposed to computer AI), and doing that with other people in the same room isn't always an...

Standard SMS controllers get a bad rap but I think that mostly comes from people that experienced the system later on with only second hand, worn down ones. The controllers do deserve criticism for...

I couldn't get into Fallout 1 and 2 back when they came out. After playing through 3, I went back and they became some of my favourite RPGs ever. 3 and NV are great but I consider 1 and 2 to be the...

It's kind of for the same reason you guys make videos on various Sega/Turbografx/etc. stuff - there are underrated games out there we want to see more people exposed to and enjoying. You guys do a...

I have the same cartridge shown in the first pic and some other similar ones. I never came across MD bootlegs during the 16-bit era but from the late '90s onwards I have come across them several...

I'm done for April. It was an amazing haul for deals for me.

Crimson Shroud (3DS) - $5
Aero Porter (3DS) - $3
The Last Story (Wii) - $30
Excitebots (Wii) - $1
Battalion Wars 2 (Wii) - $1...

Continuously jump and attack at close range. You'll have to move to the left a bit when the enemy stacks get too close. The second part with the face on the wall is all about placing yourself in the...

Yeah, when I mentioned cheap shipping from Europe before, I should have specified I was mostly buying loose carts. It's easy to find games without boxes on ebay, and they tend to be cheaper. I had...

I wouldn't say it's crap but I agree the NES version played better. I was really into beat 'em ups back then so I bought it for NES, SMS, and C64. I only regret the latter.

I could say the exact same thing for SMS Shinobi, R-Type, Fantasy Zone, Rastan, Choplifter, etc. They all work well around the hardware and don't try and do more than it can handle. The gameplay...

I'm not anti-Gearbox but they have yet to make an original game as good as Homeworld so it's not the biggest confidence booster for the franchise.

If that's all you haved played, that's less than a quarter of the NA releases. I don't know if it would be fair to use the word "most" in that context.

That being said, while there are some games...

Importing SMS games into Canada isn't expensive. It's exporting that is. I have bought a bunch of SMS games off ebay from the UK and France. The shipping was always less than $5 a game.

The board won't let me create new threads for some reason but I might as well ask here. Does anyone know how to get the level select cheat for Dick Tracy to work? On various sites I see "UP, DOWN, A,...
