@KingMike From my understanding it was the whole Saturn debacle that soured EA's relation with Sega. The "surprise" early release of the Saturn as well as the limited release to certain stores cost EA alot of money and then the life span of the Saturn. EA just felt that it wasn't worth dealing with Sega anymore after that fiasco.

@KingMike I remember Nester's Funky Bowling its one of the games I have. I am guessing that it was region exclusive to help push the Virtual Boy sales due to Nester being a character from Nintendo Power magazine.

@mariteaux The older Maddens were so good its really a shame that EAs greed ruined that series. I recently picked up Madden 05 on PS2 and I am having more fun with that game then Madden 25. The engine was so much better.

With that said the reason most people regard them as junk is because most hard-core Madden players want current rosters teams, logos etc. Once the new one comes out it previous one is junk.

Also alot of the younger generation never played the older Maddens the started with PS3 and Xbox 360 Gen Maddens and buy then they games weren't the same just the same garbage year after year with less content and a poor engine, which EA continues to build on.

I remember getting alot of my Virtual Boy games from Blockbuster when they were clearencing them out. I got them for $5 each sadly I didnt have Jack Bros or Virtual Bowling.

The main reason I never played or could get into Metal Gear Solid 2. It still makes me wonder why the got rid of Snake as the main protagonist and replaced him with Raiden.

This game just screams 80s. The box art reminds me of some 80s action flick and I love how they incorporate the title into it where hes punching through it. The game itself is a fun game too. I remember renting it a few times when I was a kid.

I actually forgot about this game, lol. Didn't know if it ever came out and I just missed it or what.

Nice to see MS supporting the Evercade.

I remember seeing one at my friend's house. Never played it though, his parents wouldn't let us. That's my only memory of the Amiga.

When I first got to the level when I was a kid and saw that it was slightly different then the picture on the box, I figured it was either removed from the game or was an earlier version of said stage that was changed later on.

@Serpenterror Well Johnny Cage was based off of JCVD after they couldnt get him. But yeah he was a poor choose for Guile I was joking about him being busy. But yeah JCVD's style is all wrong for Guile.

@dodgykebaab Well you got one right I dont watch current WWE. But I do know who Cody Rhodes is mainly from his early years in WWE and AEW. Now do I think hes Guile material no I do not. Granted at least he's American where as JCVD wasnt.

What was JCVD unavailable. The whole casting makes no sense at all. I strongly believe there's is a contest in Hollywood on who can make the worst Street Fighter movie.

Hopefully the food is better then Chuck E Cheese's.

People tend to forget that the original Xbox was created as a way to play direct X games hence the original name Direct X Box. Its purpose was to be a user friendly PC for the living room that anyone can use and it did accomplish that. They weren't in it to make games.

This casting is all over the place and makes no sense. I am beginning to think there is a contest going on in Hollywood on who can make the worst Street Fighter movie.

The casting is so puzzling. I cant seen anything good to come out of it. I am guessing their is a contest in Hollywood who can make the worst live action Street Fighter movie. They say third time is a charm, so far it doesnt look that way.

@smoreon Well you also have to consider supply and demand too. As I said alot of the people who wanted NES/SNES games a few years ago have either moved on or they have want they want. Most of the kids nowadays are looking for PS2, Xbox GameCube because that's what they grew up with and have a nostalgia for.

@smoreon The PS and Xbox games have gone up because that's what's in demand now. All those kids who grew up on PS and Xbox are now young adults and going back to rebuy and collect the games from their childhood, this the spike in price. While NES and SNES games arent much in demand anymore as those that grew up with it either dont care anymore or have all that they wanted so prices leveled out.

My son who grew up with a PS2 and is doing that same thing and I too notice PS2 games that were $5 to $10 bucks a few years ago are now a bit more.

I have noticed that alot of prices for NES games and SNES have come down quite a bit. Normally games that would have cost me $20 I am finding for $5 or less and games that were $50-$60 dollars I am getting for $20. I mean I still see the occasional Chrono Trigger going for $800 but for the most part prices have seemed to stabilize the last few years.

That's great to hear. I hope he takes this time to separate his work Google accounts from his private one.

Man that sucks. Slopes Game Room is one of my favorite channels and if it gets deleted that will be a tragedy.

However, in this day and age of the internet you gotta be careful what you download and to your account especially if you dont don't understand it or can't read it. The problem is that companies like Google, Activison and many that have online communities use bots and A.I. for moderation so if anything goes against their user agreement that their program sees is wrong they automatically ban the account even if you dont mean anything by it or you didnt understand what it said. All it sees is that your account has violated a TOSA.

A friend of mine got his account deleted in Black Ops 6 because someone on his team used a homophobic slur over the mic. The bot picked up on it and banned the whole team. Even though they didnt know the person or anything.

Another friend of mine got in trouble years ago for downloading child porn because he set his PC up to download what he thought was regular movies from a torrent site and went to work without checking what they were. Even though it was labeled as stuff like Iron Man, and other top movies at the time. It took him years and alot of money to clear it up with law enforcement.

Point is just becareful what you download especially if you cant read it or understand it. I do hope that DJ Slope gets it all sorted out and is able to keep his stuff in the end and wish him luck.

I just play my Genesis games on my Mega SG from Analogue.

@BionicDodo @Moroboshi876 I remember seeing the Street Fighter II one in a store years ago and they did have a riser for it that you could purchase seperate to make the machine taller.

@Mayhem That makes sense, I really didn't get into gaming till the NES, I was too young before that. I remember messing around on my cousin's Atari back in the day but that was just a novelty back then.

I remember getting that along with Soul Calibur II and my GameCube from Gamestop back in the day. I believe I still have it somewhere to this day.

Thoughts go out to his family, friends and fans.

Wow didn't realize they had a game for Usagi. Of course the Commadore wasn't big here in America so there's that.

Also to be honest I didn't know Usagi Yojimbo was its own thing I remember seeing him crossover in the TMNT cartoons when I was a kid then of course getting his TMNT figure one Christmas morning. It was till years later that I discovered he was his own thing.

The problem is Arcades just arent the magical place they were in the 70s to 90s.

Once consoles like the Dreamcast came out delivering games on par with the Arcades there was no need to go to an arcade. Why spend $50 bucks an hour fighting playing Soul Calibur when you can get the game for the same price and play it whenever you want and own it for life?

Not only that but now you have emulators which people can download on just about any device including their phones and play games whenever and wherever they want no need to go to an arcade.

Not to mention ports to modern systems like the TMNT Cowabunga Collection, various Atari Collections, Midway Collections, Neo Geo Collections etc, etc there is no need for Arcades.

While I get the owner is doing it more for the social aspect people are alot less sociable these days as they were 30 to 40 years ago.

@HammerGalladeBro Probably the easiest would be contact Nintendo and see what they suggest or set up a repair with them.

@KingMike I remember alot of these games around that time. I also remember the actor for Johnny Cage getting fired for being in an advertisement for a similar game to MK, maybe it was this one, and that's why Johnny Cage wasn't in MKII originally.

I remember hearing about this game years ago in magazines. Even then it just sounded like an MK knockoff.

Still have 8 of them. I ended up buying alot of them cheap when Gamestop was clearencing them out at the end of the GameCube lifespan. Still my favorite controller of all time.

River City Renegade. Is that the game that was in-between River City Ransom and River City Girls Zero? If I might just pick this up for that.

That's why most businesses do a nightly deposit after they close.

@Sketcz It's Troy Baker who does Indy's voice. He did such an amazing job it's hard to tell the difference even in the actual game. Then again Troy is such an amazing voice actor.

Growing I remember Tetris and Dr Mario were two of my Mom's favorite games. She would always bounce between those two games. One of the main reason we had a NES hooked up to our TV even well into the Wii generation.

Tekken has always been my favorite fighting game series, but 4 was the low point in the series for me. The problem was there was just to many changes to the game all at once. Especially Jin. Jin was my favorite character in 3 right after King. I loved how his style was a blend of Kazuya's and Jun's but then in 4 it was a completely new style without explanation. I will say the environment hazards were a nice touch and new characters like Marduk were great but overall the game is my least played Tekken.

This game was leagues better then FFVII. It's a shame that this game doesn't get the recognition that FFVII gets. I still want a sequel to this game.

Lol the first thing that came to mind when I saw this article was the AVGN episode.

Street Fighter IV was the last main line SF game I played. I also have Street Fighter X Tekken too. Sad always to hear a passing. Thoughts go out to his family, friends and fans.

I remember being amazed when I first encountered the Pyscho Mantis Easter egg. My friends and I thought it was so cool that he knew what games we enjoyed lol.

Sad news. Thoughts go out to his family and friends. May he rest in peace.

I do remember him in Street Fighter and in fact his casting was one of the many reasons I hated the movie when I was a kid. For some reason I didn't like the fact that they changed E. Honda from Japanese to Samoan. I didn't realize he was in those other movies.

I loved Bizarre. I was gutted when I heard they were closing down.

Doesn't surprise me that PS2 and 1 are the quickest. They aren't as complex as later PS models.

@KitsuneNight Thanks for the replies and info really appreciate it. I have been busy the past few days so I haven't been able to try the stuff you mentioned but will so today. Hopefully I can do it blind but if not I may have to look into that scaler. Thanks again!

@KitsuneNight Unfortunately like I said my tvs only have HDMI hookups, I don't have access to a TV that I can see the menus and such.

@KitsuneNight My TV only has HDMI inputs, and yes I tried the Mayflash PS2 HDMI adapter but appearently I have to adjust a setting on my PS2 to be able to use it but can't see anything to fix it.

Would definitely be interested in this, if only my PS2 would work on a current TV.
