Re: Toaplan Arcade Shoot ‘Em Up Ultimate Collection Includes 16 Games, Costs $70

PinballBuzzbro

Maybe at not aaa full price tags this would be good treatment but I see no good reason why I should pay 70$ for games that can be easily played elsewhere for cheaper or nonexistent price tags. Collection is probably decent as well, but imo nobody should have to pay more than at the very, VERY most 30$ for any game from before the 2010s, ESPECIALLY ones from the 80’s and 90’s.

Re: Remarkable Footage Resurfaces Of Monolith's Cancelled Batman Game

PinballBuzzbro

While this IS a fantastic looking and conceptual piece of Batman gaming media, knowing what happened with similar tie in games and how they’d get rushed into oblivion to reach deadlines (something Spider-Man has been facing ever since the early 2000’s and still faces to this day as recent as last year) I can’t see this coming out in a desirable state. Plus, we still have the Arkham trilogy…….and Arkham knight so it’s not the end of the world lol

Re: Controversial Retro Store DK Oldies Just Got Hacked

PinballBuzzbro

@Sketcz its all because of this stupid neckbeard obsession with treating games as trophies or mountpieces by focusing on boxes and cartridges and proping them up on display units rather, than, yknow, actually focusing on accessing and playing the @#$% things like they were meant to be played, which has now spread throughout the industry like a virus to the point pretty much anything remotely old now sells for 500$ prices or more since the sellers think everyone who wants these old games are some disgusting john hancock tier collector who wants to show them off rather than a normal person who simply wants to buy and play the game cause' it's fun. i dont even have a problem with people who just enjoy collecting games, its just the loudest and most influential ones are always the basement ogres who dont give a crap about the games themselves and just want some "totally rad retro!!1!!" item to place on a shelf and never be used.

Re: Poll: What's The Best Shinobi Game?

PinballBuzzbro

shinobi 3 imo. doesn't have the weird difficulty spikes shadow dancer has, it's movement is much more refined and smooth compared to revenge or the game gear games, and it's simply one of the best looking and sounding genesis games. It's such a banger standout game that almost any 16 bit ninja game that came after it whether on real hardware or a newer indie game tends to take influence from it's foundations.

Re: Arcade1UP's X-Men 97 'Marvel VS. Capcom 2' Cabinet Re-Announced

PinballBuzzbro

🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱, no reason to get this especially for that price, if they wanna give us a good way to replay this game officially it has to be a collection or rerelease, not this neckbeard shelf collector garbage. If these came out alongside modern rereleases I’d be okay with it but this is just not how you treat your legacy content.

Re: SNES Dev Explains Why He Spent 600 Hours And $2370 Just To Give His Game Away For Free

@-wc- a painting anyone can look at even if not in person and japanese super famicom cartridges you could only get by mailing in to someone (something that was not mentioned much if at all while the game was previously shown off) and hoping you get chosen to receive one that will likely never be uploaded for the wider public to experience are insanely different things, this is not the own you think it is bro

Re: SNES Dev Explains Why He Spent 600 Hours And $2370 Just To Give His Game Away For Free

PinballBuzzbro

idgaf what this numbskull's intentions are you do NOT make your game intentionally hard to buy unless you want people to NOT talk about it. The same thing was done with Craprium and Demon throttle and nobody ever talks about those either. Way to actively crap on accessibility and preservation, it's not like the retro gaming scene already has enough of a @#!% problem with that already .

Re: We Never Got A Good Altered Beast 2, So A Fan Is Making One

PinballBuzzbro

@RootsGenoa altered beast is fun imo! its not as good as other games in it's style like black belt or the ninja warriors but it's a serviceable and short little game that has great visual design and a fun gimmick. Honestly dissapointed they didn't try advancing it's forumla or anything further in future sequels like they did with Shinobi or Streets of rage as games like felix the cat and sengoku 2 show that the transformation gimmick could be awesome when twisted or expanded.

Re: Data East's Gory '90s Brawler 'Night Slashers' Is Getting A Remake

PinballBuzzbro

Not feeling this tbh. Sprites have that horrid tweeny earnest evans look to them and everything is super saturated and rusty looking, all the originals personality is p much lost here. No clue why anyone would buy this over the original which is available via Johnny turbos arcade or on mame for free with better accuracy.

Especially with those amazing shadow of the ninja and hebereke/ufouria remakes out likely at the same time and Mario rpg plus paper Mario on the horizon, this is just pathetic in comparison.
