I initially skipped the articles of the "Limited Run Games Showcase" because I'm not interested in their physical releases (because of the horror stories).

But I wasn't remembering that all of those are also released digitally too.

Learned my lesson: read. every. article.

I think non-glitch speedrunning is more interesting.
Beating the game as intended.

Glitch speedrunning reminds me of the famous marathoner who took a taxi cab to the finish line.

It's funny, it's interesting...but you didn't actually win the race dear.

Ideally, if they create a sequel, package it with the original.
Then I will buy the new one, just to get the old one.

@Moroboshi876

Yeah, I'm very wary about lack of English in EGGCONSOLE releases. Action games seem the safest bets. I don't know if it was here or NintendoLife that has an ongoing article about which ones are recommended.

I missed the chance of buying the Beatles Rock Band for the Wii for my parents. That would have been fun. I would get it for Switch now.

I think you should judge a console based on its ORIGINAL game library (otherwise, the "Switch 2" will automatically be "better" than "Switch 1", and "Switch 3" will be better than "2", etc.)

You shouldn't give Switch points for A Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time.

But having Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom is compelling on its own.

@Gerald

It was never released in arcades.

@PKDuckman

Wikipedia says it never got a Western release because it tanked in Japan, they say because younger gamers couldn't figure it out.

Also, it sounds like the title of the lost Leisure Suit Larry game.

Did someone say....former Japan exclusive!

All the EGGCONSOLE games are in Japanese.
Is the text in the game important? Or is it mostly just action?

@KitsuneNight

Last year they similarly destroyed $30 million worth of Funko Pops.

I also do not see the appeal. Surely an actual realistic statue or figure would look a lot better on a shelf.

Rygar, now Rastan. Those were good barbarian times.

For non-Brits (like me), "The Breakfast Show" is the #1 morning news show in Britain.

It's the equivalent of "Good Morning America".

And 4-player simultaneous multiplayer, vs. Track & Field's 2-player simultaneous.

Yeah, same here. Unless someone can explain why Legacy of the Wizard is inferior in some way?

I believe it was never released outside of Japan?
Oh...it will be mine!

I miss when arcades were dark, like movie theatres.

@shouryuuken

Yes, that's the game I was thinking of, Rolling Thunder.

Looking at the gameplay of Surprise Attack, I think I might have played it back in the day. Just a vague possible remembrance...

@happydeathman

I think you'd probably enjoy that fan translation more than this, because all the "EGGCONSOLE" games are in Japanese. All Japanese. No English in game, just English menus.

I am interested in the action games (I owned Thexder back in the day), but no, I'm not going to play an RPG in Japanese...

On the TV edit, the car swerves around him.

I have them all on GOG, except for The Saboteur, which doesn't look like it's well-regarded, and the Command & Conquer collection which I just picked up (though I am total crap at RTS).

I was interested in the EGGCONSOLE games, until it was made clear to me that the games are IN JAPANESE!

I'm still interested in some of the action ones, but not in anything with a story, like Ys or Ys II.

I agree, I would totally raid them at a discount. They do have a slow drip of sales though for Arcade Archives and Neo Geo. You really have to pounce on them.

Hamster also did both Taito Milestones collections, with more in the works.

And there's a Samurai Shodown Neo Geo Collection that goes on sale once every year. That's a great deal if you're into '90s fighters.

I always went straight into the wall. And it was always fun.

I can't believe we never got After Burner on Switch. The Sega Ages line died out way too soon...

A Chuck E. Cheese in my city had a Space Invaders / Qix machine. Both were fun. Interesting that there's a sequel.

I watched a bit of the video. There's a lot going on and I don't entirely understand how the gameplay works, but it looks interesting enough to own.

Imagine putting your house up for sale for $200,000. A buyer immediately ends up on your doorstep with $200,000 in cash.

You quickly realize houses are actually going for $1 million in your neighbourhood...

I guess everyone on here would just honour the original listing...right guys? It would be the honourable thing to do. And the incredibly stupid thing.

There is a (new to me) eBay knockoff website with incessant TV ads like: "I bought this mountain bike for only $11" and "I bought this PS5 for only 25 cents!"

When I see those ads I think "Wow, that sounds like a great website to go to when you want to get ripped off selling your stuff when you made a simple mistake on your listing."

When I buy something on eBay, it's to get something not available in stores that's not MUCH over list price; I'm not looking to ripoff unsuspecting sellers.

Almost 600 people have voted on Ranker's list of the "Best Blur Songs". Song 2 is #10.

I am much more fascinated by these "player vs. the game" records, than any player vs. player esports.

It's the same story with users on Gog. Games are unplayable.

Well, I certainly wouldn't want to play an RPG in Japanese. But the action games will do okay.

I read Time Extension.......for the articles.

Japan-exclusives must be mine!

@Hikingguy Just a Pac-Man rip-off is all.

Some games at the very top of the list have as few as 3 ratings. So this is very much a "list in progress".

As a wise man once said: "Don't boo. Vote."

he was involved with the seminal SNES title Chrono Trigger in 1995

Not his only...seminal...game it turns out...

One day my friend called me up and said: "I got a Sega Genesis!"
I got over there as fast as my BMX bike would take me.
It came with "Altered Beast" of course. We had all played it in the arcade, and our jaws were all on the floor at the huge sprites: "It's just like the arcade!!!"

It's only once the Internet came along that I "found out" this game is crap. It was certainly visually astounding at the time compared to NES graphics.

#2 was EGM's RPG of the year in '92.
Couple that with the Japan-exclusives and it's an easy buy for me!

I'm always interested in people "beating the game". That's how it was when I grew up. You needed that hi-score. Measuring yourself against the game itself. "King of Kong" was hugely entertaining.

I get nothing out of player vs. player esports. Who cares if "Team Purple" from Pittsburgh beats "Team Orange" from Chicago?

Never heard of them, but a couple of them seem well-regarded, so for me it's worth a few bucks on sale.

More like an...unloading screen.

Well...something has been extended.

I think this is what the kids call: "wholesome".

Going by PC reviews on MetaCritic, it sounds like the translation is crap.

My friends and I loved these. It was the closest we could get to playing video games in school.

Please let me play Kung Fu Master on Switch!

@KoopaTheGamer

So if I said to you: "Would you like to see Muhammad Ali's Olympic gold medal, Bobby Charlton's World Cup winner's medal, Marlon Brando's "Godfather" Oscar, Albert Einstein's Nobel Prize?

You wouldn't want a peek? Hold it in your hand? Give a fake acceptance speech?

Anyway, it would be fun if whenever someone mentions the BAFTAs, to say "I have one of those you know..."

Well, I can't say it looks very good. Doesn't look too different from some games I had on ColecoVision, but can't say it looks fun. Even watching a short clip, the music is mind numbing. Only way I would get it I think is part of a collection.

"I don’t think the quality of the graphics determines how fun a game is. It’s all about the gameplay system."

I still play 40 year old games.

I just can't believe it every time I read someone say: "I don't play indie games, I only play AAA". You hear it all the time, along with 4K this and 8K that and 60fps or 120fps. It's madness.

I have a friend of mine that only watches blockbuster budget movies. Won't even consider seeing an independent film, even if it's a crowd-pleaser.

It's just a strange mindset.

Today I learned...a Canadian international was once on the cover of FIFA...

Alphonso Davies will be next!

About a decade ago, AdventureGamers ranked Sam & Max Hit the Road #28 on their list of the Top 100 All-Time Adventure Games.
