Re: "Missing" Genesis Beat 'Em Up Paprium Will Soon Be Playable On Original Hardware With A Flash Cart

PinballBuzzbro

Played this game myself. It’s alright. Graphics are some of the best on the system and blow the barren basic backgrounds of streets of rage 2 and hyperstone heist out of the water with all the little details and life in them but it also just doesn’t do anything that hasn’t been seen in the genre before. Branching paths were done 40 years ago by streets of rage 3, final fight 3 and denjin makai 2, the unlockable characters and secrets were already done by streets of rage 3 once again, it’s just a game that’s good but has already been done before. It certainly ain’t beating streets of rage 4 or shredders revenge anytime soon😂

Re: Three More Konami NES Titles Are Getting Fanmade SNES Ports

Got excited until I realized it was the first tmnt game instead of 2 or 3.

I’m all for difficult games but that original nes port always just struck me as lame compared to the other infinitely better platformers on the system. Has nothing to do with the difficulty either I just find it generic and ugly looking.

Super C is hype tho! Second best contra game imo and playing it without slowdown will be a treat!

Re: Bounty Sisters Is A Promising New Shoot 'Em Up From Ex-TwinBee & Gradius Devs

@BausRifle I agree tenfold but at the very least two of these characters are clearly meant to be adults which is p refreshing considering most of this genre strays as far away from of-age protags as humanly possible. Saw someone mention Muchi Muchi Pork as this "must try" shoot em up but the second i booted it up and saw the 3 main pilots all looked like toddlers I instantly nope-d tf outta there🤢

Re: A New Dig Dug Game Has Just Been Released, But It's Only Playable For 2 Weeks

@Lanmanna
-Refusing to ever touch any of their old legacy franchises or doing it once then never again, not even referencing them or making tweets about them
-Putting a patent on loading screens having minigames meaning every other game ever was forced to have boring loading screens with nothing on them
-All they ever make nowadays is lazy licensed slop based on the same 5 shonen anime over and over again

they aren't as bad as Sega or Nintendo but I hate them almost just as much

Re: Nintendo Locking A Screen Filter Behind A Console Upgrade Hasn't Gone Down Well With Everyone

PinballBuzzbro

I swear every day that passes I feel more and more assured to NOT get the Switch 2 lmao

I think this is fair seeing how intensive these filters can get but all the other horse$#|¥ they’ve been pulling like refusing to credit anyone who works on their projects in end-credits, suing people for being inspired by them, charging money for console tutorial software and making us pay 70-80$ for games even though they aren’t impacted by tariffs anymore is a different story. Someone needs to drop Doug into a cartoonishly red pit of lava over a bridge like the REAL Bowser at this point 💀.

Re: 30 Years Ago, The Grandfather Of Game Journalism Told 2D Fighting Game Fans To "Get A Life"

love this overly in your face unhinged era of gaming magazines so much, every article and advertisement and review was like "HEY WORMSUCKER!!!!!! YOU'RE STUPID, GO SUCK UP AND SQUAREDANCE WITH YOUR GRANNY WHILE CRYING ON PROM NIGHT IF YOU DON'T WANNA PLAY HAMMERIN' HARRY ON THE GAME BOY, GET N OR GET TO SUCKING KITTY LITTER ON THE KINDERGARTEN BUS!!!!!!" it's so earnest and charming to me lmao.

Re: "These Short Games Mean Nothing To Me" - Retro-Bit Translator Denies Wrongdoing In "Baffling" Rant

@RextheSheep oh no worries I have no doubt there are good sides of it and that it’s not all bad, I’m mainly saying this because of the people who let their love for retro games cloud their judgement for this kinda crap XD. Also I feel ya two on the getting screwed over by companies as someone who had to put up with strictly limited and the bullsh1t they pulled for the Turrican Anthologies💀

@slider1983 that may have been the intention behind Paprium but between the game taking 10 years to come out, people not getting their cartridges even now, Fons constantly going on psychotic Joker mental breakdowns online, and the EXHORBENT price tag the game has ESPECIALLY if trying to buy it second hand completely ruin the whole thing. Why should I give this game and it’s horrible creator my money when I could get streets of rage 1-3, final fight cd, hyperstone heist, golden axe, and SO many more on the same console for (mostly) 5x less the price? Not to mention all the AMAZING modern beat em’ ups nowadays like streets of rage 4 and shredder’s revenge that similarly cost less too.

This BS is why i ALWAYS choose emulation rather than giving these psychos my money. Theyre all just a bunch of sick in the head grifters who view old video games as some bizzare get-rich-quick scheme rather than as the cherishable pieces of art they are, and it blows up in their face spectacularly. We saw it with Paprium, we saw it with SuperSega, we saw it with Strictly Limited games, we saw it with Piko interactive, and we’ll continue to see it until the end of time. Idc about the “physical authenticity” if I have to obtain said authenticity by forking 80-100 bucks over to an irl Silent Hill villain who likely won’t even deliver on their promises, it’s just not worth it to me.
