Re: The US Copyright Office Doesn't Want To Give You Access To Video Game History

PinballBuzzbro

seems like another reminder that emulation will always be morally viable in this day and age.

If companies don’t wanna give me access to their super old products that aren’t available anymore, I feel perfectly justified to experience them through my own means! Something like switch emulators getting taken down I can understand, but no dmca takedown in the universe is gonna stop me from playing joy mech fight on my pc for free😂

Re: Castlevania: Nocturne Director Hints Season 3 Will Only Happen If You Support Season 2

I’m not too sad about Castlevania being Dormant since bloodstained is made by the ppl who worked under Konami and both curse of the moon games are up there with the classicvanias’ peaks like rondo and bloodlines.

Ritual was rly good too even if it wasn’t as good as the ds trilogy or aria!

At this point p much every dormant Konami franchise aside from the Hudson soft stuff and Gradius has a successor made by the people who worked on the originals, or people who understood what made the series work so well.

@JMX I’d assume They’re not on PC since MAME exists and people who use it wouldn’t have much reason to buy arcade archives titles.

As for Xbox I’d assume it’s because of modern Microsoft’s nonexistent popularity in Japan and the fact Xbox is beginning to flounder as a company likely isn’t helping with that.

Re: Mega Man X8 Has Just Got A Free 16-Bit Fan Demake

PinballBuzzbro

the original x8 was always one of my least favorite mega man games due to the incessent overeliance on annoying unfun gimmicks, and this fangame seems to get rid of all of that in favor for a more tightly crafted platforming focused game so im all in! No zero also isnt the end of the world to me since i dont feel hed work well with this games shooting centric level design.

Re: Please, Sega, Let's Have A Proper Fantasy Zone Sequel

PinballBuzzbro

IMO M2 are actually BETTER at making unique games than just porting old ones. Fantasy zone II DX, Space Harrier 2 DX, the entire rebirth trilogy, haunted castle revisisted, super bomberman r, gg aleste 3, they are a golden team for remaking and revitalizing old ips and i wish they were given more work in that regard.

Re: The Worst Castlevania Game Is Getting Remade

PinballBuzzbro

@X68000 snes version is phenomenal barring the occasional slowdown, and the arcade version COULD'VE been good but the fact it has no continues whatsoever while also having typical extreme arcade difficulty just ruins it for me. There's a borderline between a game being hard and a game just being not enjoyable to beat, idk what they were thinking pulling that crap on an arcade cabinet.

Also while I don’t like limited run they don’t straight up lie to their customers like the scumf@$(s at ININ did with those turrican anthologies and being “”””””””””””physical exclusive”””””””””””””” only to release them on eshop the day after I finally receive mine from strictly limited after waiting nearly 2 years. Idc how bad limited run is, they at least won’t pull any of that snake oil salesmen garbage with what they release.

Re: Dragon Quest SNES Prototype Worth $50,000 "Lost For Good"

PinballBuzzbro

@ZZalapski If the seller wanted all that money they could’ve sold it to an archival foundation or museum, someone who’d actually benefit from having it by preserving it, and if the buyer was saving up money for it there are about 9 billion better things you could use 50,000 on, such as donating to charity, or buying something genuinely useful, or commissioning artists, or saving it up for future uses in life, not storing an important historical item on some dusty shelf like it’s a mounted elk head for christs sake. This mindset is like saying the burning of Alexandria was a good thing because “What else would they do with all that fire? Weapons are made to be used, after all”.

Re: 'Batman: Revenge Of The Joker' For The Sega Genesis Gets Impressive Fan Overhaul

PinballBuzzbro

the unreleased snes version of this is one of the worst games of all time imo, after the first stage it spams hazards and enemies that come at you from off screen and instantly kill you with no fair logical way for you to react to them on a level that would make most kaizo developers wince. Normally I feel a little bummed out when a game gets cancelled close to completion, but I'm so glad that pure garbage never made it to store shelves and can completely understand why it was cancelled.
