To be fare Codemasters announced alot of stuff and it never seen the light of day. Just think though, if Codemasters did bring this out for the NES, maybe the Playstation would have never existed. 🤔
My first video gaming experience was Baseball on my cousins Atari 2600. I visited him during the summer.of 85 and he had an Atari with a bunch of games, but the first game I played was Baseball.
I would almost feel sorry for him but I don't. If he wasn't being a scalper he wouldn't have been in that type of situation. It's just Karma paying him back, that's all.
I use to listen to that station all the time. I was even listening to it when that happened and thought that they would at least be smart enough to have the contestants sign release forms. After hearing what happened I knew that was going to be the end of the Morning Rave.
Never really heard of these games till now. Teenage me probably would have been all over these if I knew about them especially if I saw them at my local video store. I'd most definitely rent them for a weekend.
Now though, unless they are at a good price or go on sale I will pass. Not interested in paying alot for another Capcom beatem up clone.
That makes no sense obviously a mistake on Capcom's part. In the level that you fight Abilgail in the Final Fight you can clearly see the Statue of Liberty in the background.
First played this game on the Castlevania Double Pack for GBA. It was this game and Harmony of Dissonance on one cartridge. Enjoyed this game so much that the fact that it's sequel was on the DS was the sole reason I bought a DS.
Normally I'd jump at this, but with the release of Cowabunga Collection I don't see the point. It's not like it's some lost game that can't be played on a current system.
This was the game that brought me back to the Mario Kart series and introduced it to my son. This game and Star Wars: The Forced Unleashed are the only 2 Wii games that I will use motion controls if allowed different control options.
I don't remember now if I unlocked everything but I played alot of it. I was really excited to see the return of Coconut Mall in MK8D.. Now if only they would bring back some of the options that Mario Kart Wii had to MK8D like selecting the item types for races I would be a happy person.
I remember playing this game once when I was a teenager with my friends. A bowling alley down the street from where I lived had it. I have never seen it since.
@Jeremazing Or Activision wanted to much or some other thing could have happened that they couldn't included Crash. Just because they worked with them in the past doesn't guarantee that they will again.
Bullet time was so revolutionary. I remember renting Max Payne with some friends and just being blown away with the bullet time ability. Still one of my favorite games.
I will always prefer Metroidvania style over Classicvania. Except for Bloodlines and Rondo of Blood. The older games I just got aggravated with mainly due to the controls.
Nice to see so many unknown titles make the list. Batman Returns is my favorite movie licensed game of all time and Final Fight 3 is such a gem, I even prefer it over the SNES version of Final Fight.
Kinda surprised that The Simpsons Arcade didn't make the list. One of the reasons I still hang on to my Xbox 360. Also Guardian Heroes is availed on the Xbox via backwards compatibility.
I was wondering if the cheat codes would work. I remember using them so we could use them in multiplayer mode more then anything. Shame that they didn't update them.
I have never used one and never will. Not that I am against them, I just don't have the time to look for ROMs and install them on one of those things. Besides I pretty much own all the retro games I want now in some form or another. Whether it's original cartridges that I play on clone systems or collections like the TMNT Cowabunga Collection on current Gen consoles.
I have to go with the Wavebird, such an awesome controller. I remember trying wireless controllers during the NES days and they were so shoddy. Because of them I thought there would never be a wireless controller. Then one day thanks to an employee at Gamestop (before they turned all stupid and only cared about selling you something) he was talking with another customer about the Wavebird. I was skeptical at first but then my friend bought one and I tried it OMG I was in love. I still use Wavebirds to this day on my Wii, and prefer using that controller especially when it come to Soul Caliber II.
Talented guy for sure. I remember him from Terminator 1 and 2, as the voice of the Police Chief in Disney's Bonkers and as the narrator and Arthas's father in World of Warcraft.
Condolences to his family, friends, and fans during this time. Hasta La Vista Dr. Sillberman may you rest in piece. Thank you for your work.

Re: Now's The Time To Hack Your 3DS
@RadioHedgeFund. You can still buy SNES games though places like eBay and even retro gaming stores which are all over now.
And by your logical I should be able to walk into a mesume and walk out with the Mona Lisa I mean the no one gets money from it anymore.
Stealing is stealing no matter what you tell yourself to make yourself feel better.
Re: Now's The Time To Hack Your 3DS
Piracy is still piracy no matter what and is still illegal. If people wanted those games so bad, they should have bought them when available.
Re: Anniversary: Mario Kart Wii is 15

Re: Best PS2 Games - PlayStation 2 Titles You Need To Play
Tony Hawk 3 was the game I got with my PS2 lol. Got it for Christmas from my girlfriend at the time.
I really wish Activision would have made a Remaster of 3 like they did with 1 and 2. Hopefully when MS gets Activision they will.
