@PKDuckman I feel like the only reason I know who Buster Douglas is is because of this game, but it definitely seems he was very much just a brief blip in boxing history.
Kinda funny that after Evander Holyfield won, Sega would go on to make a better boxing game with him.
I have gone on record as saying this is the worst game i have ever played...and yet i still find myself coming back to it. That being said...the fact that there are continued efforts to make the game...playable and improve on it make me want to keep revisiting it. I'll have to check this out for myself.
HPB has been known to do that. I remember one time i saw a copy of MGS on GBC and it was in not-so-good condition. They were asking $100 for it. No thanks.
Honestly, with all the Dune love right now, I'd love a Dune 2000 port or remaster. Im sure it might be difficult with the actors for royalties but...im hopeful.
You know, I'm all for some of the randomness that Capcom puts in games, but I think I'll be ok without this one. I'm just excited were finally getting these games again.
This is exactly why i bought a physical version of the game. I knew that there would be licensing issues and it was going to be delisted. Just like when the original TMNT was taken off Wii Shopping Channel.
When i played FFVIII and i found out there was a pocketstation mini game, I made the point to import the ($100!) device. I did eventually find out that I was missing out on so many import only mini games for the device. I found a fun Pop n Music game, and the Pocket Fighter Alpha 3 game (which i was able to unlock via Gameshark).
I definitely miss that portion of memory cards, but I dont miss the constantly losing files like I had with the Mega Memory Card. And I also miss how cheap they were compared to expanding storage now.
Thundercat's "Tokyo" song has a few clips of games including SSF2(T?) and a couple of TG-16 games. There might have been other ones too, but...can't remember.
Asuka is so freakin cute when she nerds out. Its funny because you see her on WWE TV and shes so vicious. Her video when she puts together the Arcade1Up SF Cabinet is fun to watch.
@no_donatello yeah that last boss in US Monster World is the worst. You should try beating him with only 3 hearts. I'm very curious about what the prince of Dark world says in the japanese version. Right when you get your power back, he says something else before he fades.
Truth be told...I pretty much whole heartedly agree with this list. WBiMW is my all time favorite, but I feel like Dragon's Trap did introduce alot of innovation after Monster Land and helped the series get new life and a formula that later games would follow. MWIV imo plays better than WBiMW but I feel it's a bit shorter and more linear compared to the other. Finally Monster Boy is amazing and should just be played.
Wow...im impressed at the progress so far. My first thought was "wonder if they'll have the cool intro" and then lo and behold, i saw that intro. Awesome!
@Tasuki that's totally how I felt too...well that and the fact that I couldn't beat the first boss (couldn't figure out to wait for the claws to open)
I do a panel about forgotten JRPGs at cons and this is one that I put on my list because of alot of the reasons mentioned in this article. I think it's a good game. It's nothing too serious, and that's fine because not every game has to have that epic story. I liked how silly it was at times and some of the B-movie moments.
I hope it gets put on NSO or gets some sort of re-release. I'm not looking for a Live a Live style release, but at least one with some QoL updates.
This was an interesting read. Ive definitely had systems fail on me in the past.
My PS2 that ive had for almost 10 years (Launch Model) had to be repaired because of the disk read error that plagued it. Then the lens started to give out, and I had to fix it myself. And recently, it finally kicked the bucket and i had to buy a new one.
My Sega Game Gear stopped playing sound (though everything else works just fine).
My First SNES fell apart, and I had to replace it.
Sometimes i feel like most game developers just want us to forget the past and move on.

I definitely want Night Strikers
Re: The Making Of: Dragon’s Lair’s "Impossible" Game Boy Color Port
I remember seeing this and my jaw dropping. I sadly never bought it and had to wait til we got the ports on current consoles to play it.
I also remember Capcom attempting to port RE to GBC which was also super ambition but sadly never occured.
@MagicEmperor @GhaleonUnlimited loving all the Lunar love in this thread.
Re: Genesis Cult Classics El Viento And Earnest Evans Are Making A Comeback
Id love to get a re-release of the Sega CD with translated cutscenes, and maybe some QOL updates.

Re: Sega Almost Ported Shining Force 1 And 2 To Saturn
I hope that this series does come back in its strategy RPG form someday.
Personally, i'd love to see a compilation of SFIII....but i know that would be difficult cause of various factors.

Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection Is Being Delisted In Japan
This is exactly why i bought a physical version of the game. I knew that there would be licensing issues and it was going to be delisted. Just like when the original TMNT was taken off Wii Shopping Channel.
Re: Best Street Fighter Games, Ranked By You
So, why is Alpha/Zero 3 marked as NA? Its super weird that its sitting at the bottom of the list when its definitely one of the best SF games.

Wonder if this will work on Wii U
Re: PC-88 Action RPG Hydlide Ventures Onto Nintendo Switch On December 21st
So I am guessing this version doesn't include the Indiana Jones-like music like the version on NES.
Re: Excellent Ghostbusters ROM Hack For Genesis / Mega Drive Gets "Optional Patches"
I love this game, and this hack makes it all the more impressive and awesome!

Re: The Telenet Shooting Collection Has Now Arrived On The Nintendo Switch eShop

Re: Taito's Platform RPG Cadash Is Coming To Nintendo Switch & PS4 This Month
@JackGYarwood let's go! I feel like I totally manifested that.
Re: Hamster Wants Fans To Guess Its Next Taito Arcade Archives Release
Id love to see Cadash on there. Its stuck on Genesis and TG-16...unless its been re-released elsewhere.

@KingMike seems like it was just those FMV games like Mad Dog McCree and the sorts.
Re: Guide: Best Wonder Boy Games, Ranked By You
@smoreon So I had a friend do a translation, here is what is said.
"Just as I thought!
I will create an opening for you to attack!"
dark Prince destroys blaster cannon
" Heh.... Don't worry... about me..
I had... to pay you back... somehow.."
"Dying isn't... in my repertoire..."
"Lastly, I'll.. heal you back... to full..."
Hero is healed
"So lo..ng! Legendary.. Hero !!!"
Very different from what was said in the american version.
Re: Guide: Best Wonder Boy Games, Ranked By You
@smoreon Ive done it before. Its all about the timing and getting the rhythm down.
And those english lines are...yeah...not good. Old school censoring is cringeworthy at times.
