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.
if they seriously try only putting two games on this compilation and nothing else im gonna be REALLY mad lmfao. Especially if it goes for the highway robbery prices other pc engine compilations go under nowadays.
hopefully this is 95% complete in the same sense the snes games for the shadow and batman revenge of the joker are where they have proper final bosses and endings cause this looks great! id love to play it if i can properly beat it!
@RadioHedgeFund I could list like 5,000 2d platformers better than sonic 2 off the top of my head especially with the nosedive in quality it takes after mystic cave zone LMAO.
@KoopaTheGamer imo it’s always down to how the games punish you for dying that can make or break it, it’s why I usually do what I described the comment above lol, it makes 90% of them a million times better😉
I always try and patch unlimited lives codes onto the roms of most games I play since imo limited continues add literally nothing to the difficulty aside from making it so you can’t learn and adapt to the games challenges comfortably. I’m so glad that for the most part modern retro inspired indie games go the route of either giving you unlimited lives or no continue limit since it’s simply the better way to design your game.
Unless it’s a Treasure thing where you gain more of them as you play until they eventually become infinite that is a genuinely goated system that is the one exception I will make to all this lol.
aside from 4 this series is just like perfection man. not a single entry that isn't tip top peak quality and im glad its had such a huge impact on people and is still going.
they arent erasing their own history by taking down roms their erasing their own history by providing legendarily bad services for their older games with absorbent prices nowadays that dont even include the whole lineup of their own d@^^m games and in the n64's case especially barely function due to how badly the nso emulator for it was slapped together lmfao. Like it is 2nd hand embarassing how bad the n64 emulation on that service is oh my lord
this looks rly good so far, imo it stands out already in this state from all the other modern indie beat em ups that just try doing the original final fight but in a modern setting lmfao
Tbf aside from the sunsoft genesis game and the weird arcade cabinet almost all of Superman’s games have been some of the worst ever lol. Death and return comes close to being good but it ruins that by having like no variety and being insanely frustrating.
@KingMike also the fact the main spokesperson for the company is a raving lunatic almost on the same level as the joker who's completely detatched from reality and likely racist lmfao
this is so lame lmfao, like this is literally just a game you'd see in chuck e cheeses just with castlevania characters slapped onto it instead of spongebob
“Guy who dresses up as sonic for fame and appearances while actually being a shady murderous thug behind the scenes” would actually make for a pretty banger Sonic villain ngl
Tbh this is just kinda the thing with gamefaqs in general. A ton of sweaty nerds who are way too pretentious and gatekeepey about the games they play, one time I came across a Sengoku 3 FAQ where the author went in depth about how he’d spend like hours of his life everyday hunched over an arcade cabinet for the game just playing it over and over for hours and growling at people who come near him like a Batman villain or smth, and don’t even get me started on the board forums😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
CrApple will do literally anything to make their devices more “safe” except for actually put things in place to keep them safe and just limit games and apps from being possible instead. They really wanted to inplement good security they’d make it so I’d stop getting @‘ed by crypto ai nft bots on Instagram every 5 &@$!ing seconds>:/
ratalaika are so good when it comes to their rereleases, i keep sayin this but people should be going to them for console stuff instead of limited run or ESPECIALLY m2. They always add great quality of life features while also runnning the game in an almost completely perfect state, more ppl need to talk about the miracle work theyve done with gleylancer, turrican, gynoug and this series.
It doesn’t work with Genesis games atm tho???? That headline is innacurate
Also @helbertpina It helps to play it with a Bluetooth controller or connectable iPhone controller. I used to use it irregularly as well but after getting a razer controller it became one of my most used apps lol
@cawley1 wouldn’t be the first time they did smth like this. Ganryu 2 had none of the weird surrealism or open strider like level design of the original on top of completely banishing the second protagonist from existence and instead just turned it into “what if shinobi 3 was bad?”
Maybe at not aaa full price tags this would be good treatment but I see no good reason why I should pay 70$ for games that can be easily played elsewhere for cheaper or nonexistent price tags. Collection is probably decent as well, but imo nobody should have to pay more than at the very, VERY most 30$ for any game from before the 2010s, ESPECIALLY ones from the 80’s and 90’s.
Hot take but honestly nmk deserved to be remembered as one of the shmup greats along with psikyo, Zun and technosoft, every single game they made was pure fun start to finish and their games were rly easy to pick up and play as well. Helps a lot of their work is available on modern systems
While this IS a fantastic looking and conceptual piece of Batman gaming media, knowing what happened with similar tie in games and how they’d get rushed into oblivion to reach deadlines (something Spider-Man has been facing ever since the early 2000’s and still faces to this day as recent as last year) I can’t see this coming out in a desirable state. Plus, we still have the Arkham trilogy…….and Arkham knight so it’s not the end of the world lol
@Sketcz its all because of this stupid neckbeard obsession with treating games as trophies or mountpieces by focusing on boxes and cartridges and proping them up on display units rather, than, yknow, actually focusing on accessing and playing the @#$% things like they were meant to be played, which has now spread throughout the industry like a virus to the point pretty much anything remotely old now sells for 500$ prices or more since the sellers think everyone who wants these old games are some disgusting john hancock tier collector who wants to show them off rather than a normal person who simply wants to buy and play the game cause' it's fun. i dont even have a problem with people who just enjoy collecting games, its just the loudest and most influential ones are always the basement ogres who dont give a crap about the games themselves and just want some "totally rad retro!!1!!" item to place on a shelf and never be used.
Mfs will port literally anything aside from the super Star Wars games😂😂😂 I legit won’t be surprised if we get a modern port of that jar jar binks activity center game before them💀💀
shinobi 3 imo. doesn't have the weird difficulty spikes shadow dancer has, it's movement is much more refined and smooth compared to revenge or the game gear games, and it's simply one of the best looking and sounding genesis games. It's such a banger standout game that almost any 16 bit ninja game that came after it whether on real hardware or a newer indie game tends to take influence from it's foundations.
Always preferred this over most isometric games like landstalker or equinox cause you actually have full 360 degree movement as opposed to the weird perspective inverted d pad thing
oh nice i didnt know this was from the same dude as buccaneers! lookin forward to this, would kill to see him do back from the sewers as well since i feel that'd fit into his style like a puzzle piece
This is stupid. I can understand buying games to display on a shelf and play on actual hardware but just buying a ludicrously expensive game in a box in a medical container with some cheap buzzword attached to it is one of the worst possible ways you could spend your money.
🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱, no reason to get this especially for that price, if they wanna give us a good way to replay this game officially it has to be a collection or rerelease, not this neckbeard shelf collector garbage. If these came out alongside modern rereleases I’d be okay with it but this is just not how you treat your legacy content.
@-wc- a painting anyone can look at even if not in person and japanese super famicom cartridges you could only get by mailing in to someone (something that was not mentioned much if at all while the game was previously shown off) and hoping you get chosen to receive one that will likely never be uploaded for the wider public to experience are insanely different things, this is not the own you think it is bro
These corporate pigs who treat games like Star Wars films with all these limited edition botched rereleases can try and take preservation away from us, but you can never stop the preservationists and pirates, we’ll always come out on top and for every rom site you take down, another one will take its place>; )
@PinballBuzzbro What baffles me especially is that he had a spot in the recent indie showcase video, so why even advertise your game to people like this if you're only gonna make it available via this outdated darius alpha garbage. Feel bad for all the people that made this dude fanart knowing they won't even get to experience the freakin' project they got invested in
