Memories... I remember this MK 16-bit war to the letter. Arguments of "Super Nintendo got the better graphics!" vs "But Genesis is more real with blood and the blast processing speed!" all over the place lmao! Good times I can reflect upon
I never really had that kind of affinity for Neo Geo, so this won't be something I'd be getting. But I will say that if I did have one, I'd sit on it and not even open the box. DatBoutIt.
This and Super Mario Bros. we're still better than Double Dragon imo but yeah it's such a bad movie. I found myself so many times saying "why do they have so and so doing that??" Ryu and Ken were such a disgrace lol. Deejay was a camera man? Guile with a French accent, and so on. Good times 93 and 94
I'm guessing the "terms" that these companies came to is an agreement to a stalemate-- Nintendo would never be able collect further royalties from the arcade DK ROM, but neither would Ikegami, so essentially, the original ROM would just fall into code purgatory, never to be profited from again. Just my observation based on the info we do know, and the lack thereof. Whelp... there goes my hopes for an Arcade Archives DK, and possibly DKJr. arcade since it was reverse engineered. Guess that leaves Arcade Archives DK3, lol.
I very much enjoyed the game despite it's past. It's just all too bad when I think about the relationship with Rare and Nintendo... I enjoyed those days every second.
With grinding, I thought it was a pretty long action RPG, but that was about a decade ago since I last played it, so maybe my skills weren't as up to par, idk. I knew NOTHING of this game until a friend of mine told me to play it... wow, just wow. It was hard as hell, intriguing, different, fun... the list goes on. Didn't even know NL did a review, so I'll be sure to read it. I would actually give this another go if it would come to VC, no doubt. Cheers Jake Armitage!

Re: Atari Comes Under Fire For Seemingly Knowing Very Little About Its Crowdfunded VCS Console
Seems like the "new" Atari is capturing a lot of failed thinking that ended the "old" Atari

Retro-console wars heating up...??
Re: Hardware Review: Retro-Bit Generations
I swear all these retro machines make simply emulating them on PC the better way to go. Not saying I condone or oppose, just giving a perspective.
