Was never big on games until the 16-bit era. I played a lot before then, but it wasn't a passion or anything; they were toys.
But I'm still glad I was a Genesis kid rather than an SNES kid. SNES was great, of course, but even trying to look at it objectively now, the Genesis had a ton more games that I'd have an interest in. I'm glad as hell for having played Rocket Knight Adventures back then, glad as hell for having played Wonder Boy in Monster World, glad as hell for having played Shinobi III, and glad as hell for having played Sonic (1, 2, & Knuckles). I'd list more, but there's a limit to how many times I can say "glad as hell" in a single post.

Had a Nes but never really cared for it, Really got into gaming whenIi got a Megadrive and Sonic.

I miss cheats this gen and the extra fun you could have in games like Fifa like running from the ref when he wanted to give you a card :lol:

Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate is officially heading to Xbox 360 and PS3 this fall as a retail and digital game. This version of Dead or Alive 5 is so Ultimate because it includes modes from the Vita's Dead or Alive 5 Plus, new stages, new fighters and cameos from Ninja Gaiden – including levels such as Sky City Tokyo and the character Momiji, as was rumored earlier this week.

"The largest lineup in DOA history includes the first ever appearance of Ninja Gaiden's Momiji, who utilizes the Hayabusa-style Aikijutsu taught to her by the master himself, Ryu Hayabusa," the Ultimate press release reads. Said lineup also appears to include the return of Leon, a fighter who debuted in Dead or Alive 2.


And in about a years time ill be able to buy the full game of Injustice: Gods Among Us ;-)


Fighting games are an iterative genre. Hence every Street Fighter has had multiple releases, actually most fighting games have seen a bunch of releases. Its always been that way, its just that Capcom recently made it suck by putting shit on the disc. It looks like they're adding stuff that couldn't have been DLC, and possibly re-balancing. It might be better or worse then Vanilla DOA. (MvC standard is better then UMvC which is dogshit, neither is as good at TvC)

I first played on Atari 2600 in the early 80's . Parents got me an NES in 1987. I only had an NES until 1998. I did play Genesis, PlayStation, PC at friends' houses but took me till 1998 I was allowed to have a SNES,why I have a SNES 2. Well ok I did buy a Game Gear off a classmate in 1996 for 15$ with Sonic. Was my first Hand Held and first time playing Sonic. I grew up on Nintendo but made a full switch to SEGA fan last few years. So I am a retroactive SEGA fan. More of a fan of SEGA now than I was about Nintendo then. I'm glad to have both but like OL enjoy my Genesis more. I love my Saturn more than PSone(and I f-ing love it) and my N64. DC well you know me and DC are married.

Sorry DP.

Hearing that Silicon Knights is closing made me think.

Silicon Knights is just the latest post Nintendo Victim.

Post Nintendo they turned to crap and 2 are now dead. What in the blue monkey banana ball tits shit did Nintendo feed these guys? Why were none of them able to be decent and/or successful without them? Seriously.

The same shame on me... That is what I did, too, about fourteen years ago, I sold it... just to buy something new as a console and that was an imitation of NES (called NEDA)... Even though, that fake NES was fun, has a load of NES games built-in, I also bought some cartridges for it and the most memorable of those was Tiny Toon Adventures.

Interestingly, with the money I got from SMS [I sold it for 132 Euros... (but different currency back then)], I was also able to get (for my hunger for new consoles) a Game Boy Color together with cartridges; Super Mario Deluxe and Cool Ball. Later I bought Pokemon Yellow Version and I just love it, I were thinking that this game was the best adventure I have ever played.

Later, I also sold GBC with its cartridges and with the money I got, I bought Dreamcast, then Shenmue and you know... [I were looking to buy a PSOne, but the owner of the shop suggested me DC (and why is better), so I bought it. For sure I did well...]

Yakuza 4 is the business, Tanimura is no doubt my favorite character of the 4 but the whole cast is pretty solid. I want Y5 but I want to actually know what's going on as opposed to guessing or reading guides, might given and import anyway haha.

LOL Ryoko Hazuki.

Was it mostly to do with them losing the suit against Epic Games?

SK are not closed but that law suit didn't help and love or hate their recent games most of Rares XBox titles were in development for the Cube as was Too Human which i still think MS should buy.

Oh and Denis Dyack didn't help one bit.

I just had a sensational fight in FN: round 3 with my character versus Winky Wright. I just can't stand how if your opponent is winning, round to round their face looks cleaner and cleaner. That's a ridiculous glitch.
