Re: Best Beat 'Em Ups Of All Time

Tasuki

Nice to see so many unknown titles make the list. Batman Returns is my favorite movie licensed game of all time and Final Fight 3 is such a gem, I even prefer it over the SNES version of Final Fight.

Kinda surprised that The Simpsons Arcade didn't make the list. One of the reasons I still hang on to my Xbox 360. Also Guardian Heroes is availed on the Xbox via backwards compatibility.

Re: Poll: Do You Use A Flashcart?

Tasuki

I have never used one and never will. Not that I am against them, I just don't have the time to look for ROMs and install them on one of those things. Besides I pretty much own all the retro games I want now in some form or another. Whether it's original cartridges that I play on clone systems or collections like the TMNT Cowabunga Collection on current Gen consoles.

Re: Poll: So, What's Your Favourite Controller Of All Time?

Tasuki

I have to go with the Wavebird, such an awesome controller. I remember trying wireless controllers during the NES days and they were so shoddy. Because of them I thought there would never be a wireless controller. Then one day thanks to an employee at Gamestop (before they turned all stupid and only cared about selling you something) he was talking with another customer about the Wavebird. I was skeptical at first but then my friend bought one and I tried it OMG I was in love. I still use Wavebirds to this day on my Wii, and prefer using that controller especially when it come to Soul Caliber II.

Such a great controller.

Re: Best Dreamcast Games

One of my favorite systems of all time. Definitely will be looking for a way to hook it up to my modern TV once I get my house.

Re: Evercade EXP - Superior In Every Way That Matters

@RadioHedgeFund Breath of Fire is such an underrated series, one of my favorite RPGs to this day. Been playing the first one again on my Switch lately. It's just a shame the series didn't have a life span like the Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest series.

Re: Evercade EXP - Superior In Every Way That Matters

As much as this sounds great, I am not much of a handheld gamer, heck I even play my Switch in dock mode more often. With that said, I definitely want one of the Evercade home consoles. This company over all is a blessing for retro gamers.

Re: Flashback: 20 Years Ago Today, Square And Enix Officially Tied The Knot

Tasuki

I remember hearing about that when it happened, not sure where I heard it from but my mind was blowen when I heard the news. I was like but they are rivals they hate each other, that would be like Coke and Pepsi merging.

I guess it's so common place now that it doesn't come as a shock to people but back then it was so unheard of.

Re: Batman Voice Actor Kevin Conroy Has Passed Away

Tasuki

The best Batman ever. As good as some of the live action actors who played Batman, Keaton in particular, Conroy just nailed the voice, and the attitude not just for Batman but for Bruce Wayne as well. May he rest in peace. Thoughts to his family and friends.

Re: Flashback: Did Anyone Actually Win Castlevania III's Trip To Transylvania?

Tasuki

I remember seeing the advertisement for that contest, although I never entered due to my fear of flying.

If anything I would think if anyone won the contest they got the money instead if the trip couldn't happen for political reasons. Like the person who won that contest from Nintendo Power to be in the Mask 2. Since the movie was canceled they got an amount of money equivalent to the prize.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 29th)

Castlevania SotN (Series X) It's that time of year again. I decided to do my yearly playthrough of SotN to coincide with Halloween this year.

Forza Horizon 3 (Series X) Been in the mood for a FH game so I figure it was time to go back to this one and finish a few loose ends.

TMNT 3 Radical Rescue (Switch) An interesting Metroidvania type of game. I never played it during the Gameboy days but I am enjoying it now.

Re: Future Of Famous Seattle Retro Game Store In Doubt Following Armed Robbery

Tasuki

@TheBigK It's just everywhere man. Since COVID started, and now how bad inflation is people are just doing stupid things. It also doesn't help that the police won't do anything. The store I work at shoplifting is such a common thing and happens hourly. And people just walk out with shopping carts full of stuff and we can't do anything about it. We call the police and they won't even show up. It's a sad time we live in now.

Re: CIBSunday: Batman: The Video Game (Mega Drive)

Tasuki

I found a loose cartridge of this on Genesis a few years ago at a local used media store. I had no idea a Batman on Genesis existed till that point. Out of curiosity I bought it for $5. When I got home I was expecting the NES game just with better graphics. What I got was a different game but a solid Batman game. It turned out to be my favorite version of the games based off of the movie.

The music is some of the best I have heard on the Genesis and I still remember it to this day.
