“More collections from Crystal Dynamics” reads to me like “Legacy of Kain Legacy of Kain Legacy of Kain.” Even if it’s just the first two, I would like that please.
This story is great, though the fact that it’s a screenshot from the very end of the game reminds me of that annoying habit game magazines had in the 90s. I had an Ultra Game Players CD-ROM months before FF7 released with a handful of cutscenes from the game, including the final boss’s Supernova attack, which is a very climactic moment that the whole game builds up to. Just incredibly uncool, Ultra Game Players.
I’d guess they wanted American sounding names in the credits because the game is heavily inspired by Hollywood action movies. Whoever they got to come up with the names just pulled them out of an American magazine they had.
Either way, I’m going to play some Road Avenger now because that game is incredible.
It boggles my mind how quickly everybody forgave Kojima after he recast Hayter for no good reason. Points to Konami for bringing him back right away after Phantom Pain. Here’s hoping we finally get a David Hayter voice option when they remaster MGS5.
I really love how this mod approaches expanding the N64 game with characters and series that were actually around in 1999. But then there’s also Dark Samus, which ruins it. Why is Dark Samus in this?
Very cool project with one issue. As much as I respect what they’re trying to do by requiring people to own the 2020 version of Doom 64, I already bought it on Xbox One and Switch, and this requires the PC version. I’d have to buy it a third time on PC to enjoy the updated N64 version. Nobody seems to have considered that possibility, which is weird considering it’s a mod for a console game.
I’m VERY surprised and delighted to see Snake’s Revenge come back. The NES version of Metal Gear never really clicked with me but Snake’s Revenge was fantastic. You better believe it’s the first game I’ll play when I get the collection on Switch.
What is even being argued here? We’re not learning video game history from a textbook. There are no shadowy figures rewriting history. If you want to watch content about Commodore games, use the search bar in YouTube. A lot of people are making those videos and they would love your views. The reason Nintendo content rises to the top is because it’s popular, and the reason those YouTubers are the most popular is because they cover topics that get views.
As a side note, every time somebody uses sales figures as evidence of something’s quality or cultural importance, I die a little inside.
I spent a few hours with the port and it’s a joy to play. I haven’t played the official version in a long time so I can’t speak to the absolute accuracy, but it certainly seems to be an excellent port. Very happy any time I see a Playdate article on here.
The “small number of racing games on the N64?” I think we’ve reached a point where everyone just assumes every genre was underrepresented on N64, because it’s only a small exaggeration to say racers make up a quarter of the system’s library.

Re: Game Of The Year: UFO 50 Is The Gift That Keeps On Giving
UFO 50 is my top fifty games of the year. Mini & Max alone is enough to claim Game of the Year.

I’m so confused by the tone of this article when everything I’m seeing is absolutely wonderful.

Re: Poll: What's The Best Playdate Game?
Pick Pack Pup is my #1. A great puzzle game and the most contested Playdate speedrun.
Very excited to see the increase in Playdate coverage here!

Re: Nichibutsu's Cop 01 Is This Week's Arcade Archives Release
I do love a James Bond inspired arcade game. Rolling Thunder is one of my favorites and this one also looks… oh my god where are his pants?
