I’ve been trying to tell people who blame anti-preservation practices on the companies that others are to blame for all this, and they didn’t believe me.
I don’t think are achievements are really NECESSARY per se, but I do find them to be fun collectibles — either in game or out. Can it be frustrating to obtain some? Sure, but that makes getting one all the more satisfying.
This is coming from someone who Platinum’d LEGO Marvel Super Heroes.
@MarioFan41 My first console was a Game Boy Advance SP. It’s platinum silver and is model AGS-001, so it comes with the back light. Still have it today, and only recently (as in one month ago) discovered it was region free.
@Yousef- Mario was doing four impressions at E3 2007 (2 years off, my bad), with his first one being of Pinnochio. What he said before the rendered nose extended?
@-wc- What I meant by that was that there was an article on the topic of Geoff Follin’s death not long after it happened in May. I think it was on the 10th or something? Definitely not on this site, that I’m aware of.
If the Street Fighter vs. Darkstalkers crossover was anything to go by, I don’t have any high hopes for how UDON’s going to handle a Final Fight & Street Fighter crossover…

Re: A Double Dragon Revival Is Coming To Modern Consoles In 2025
@Blast16 You’ll love Rage of the Dragons then — it’s a fighting game based on the Double Dragon series, and it’s more of a hidden gem.

Re: Fans Get Excited As 'Marvel vs. Capcom 4' Gets Name-Checked In Deadpool Comic
I’m fine if MvC4 doesn’t happen, but I will be even happier if it does.

"Boy, that Sony! It’s fantastic!"
Re: Flashback: 24 Years Ago, The BBC Asked If Xbox Could Dethrone PlayStation
@MarioFan41 Remember the 10th anniversary of E3 when Mario took a playful jab at Sony?
Re: Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection Won't Include Yoshiki Okamoto's Most Hated Character
@Teksetter As King of Skill would say: "You can Doctor Doom Foot Dive on your Nintendo Switch now."
Re: PC-98 Dungeon Crawler Madou Monogatari 123 Gets English Fan Patch
Well, as a Puyo Puyo fan, this is good news for me. Now all that remains is Tower of the Magician, Chaotic Final Exam & Secret of Elysium.

Re: Video Game Music Legend Geoff Follin Has Passed Away
Yeah, sorry, Damien — sounds like you got the news a little TOO late.
Re: Someone Is Trying To Bring Super Mario 64 To The GBA
@ParadoxFawkes True, but that doesn’t really prevent my point from standing.
Re: Someone Is Trying To Bring Super Mario 64 To The GBA
@ParadoxFawkes @KayFiOS @Kvnc77 The GBA could run LEGO GAMES completely fine, I do not want to hear it.
