This Gen, This Month, Another Year: April 2019


Posted on 04/29/2019 at 03:32 AM | Filed Under Feature

Yeah, I was really hoping for P5R on the Switch after Joker showed up in Smash. The Switch is already becoming an RPG beast with Dragon Quest XI S coming this year on top of the Final Fantasy games and other titles it does have, having P5R and Ni no Kuni 2 would have made it that much more complete.

My thoughts on N64

In 2000, you could get FFIX new for $40, or MM new for $60. I paid $50 for Lunar: Eternal Blue Complete brand new on PS1 with all the extra goodies that came with it. Still cheaper than a high level N64 game.

Even now, Nintendo games really hold their value, like Apple products, though Nintendo games aren't priced at a premium at launch over other companies' games. At this point, ironically, I have a greater appreciation for Switch cartridges versus PS4 or Xbox One discs.

It's incorporated into the track that plays at the Onett video arcade where you fight the first boss.

The Games of the Atari Flashback Classics vol. 3: Part 3: 2600 Games


Posted on 03/30/2019 at 06:10 PM | Filed Under Blogs

My friend that owned a 2600 when I was a kid had Astroblast. I remember thinking it was a weird shaped cartridge. I didn't know that Mattel ported Intellivision games to the 2600. Their games are apparently actual Intellivision cart cases with adapters welded to them to make them fit in a 2600. 

A lot of the more memorable 2600 games were third party. Stargate and Vanguard were a couple of my favorites. I got the SNK collection in large part to play Vanguard on my Switch. I wish WB would do a Midway collection for Switch or PS4.  I also liked this shooting game called Turmoil that was made by Twentieth Century Fox.

I really wish they'd make some kind of deal wuth Doug Neubauer for a certain game, though. Sigh.

A Bloody Game - Battle Chess


Posted on 03/30/2019 at 06:05 PM | Filed Under Blogs

I remember Battle Chess. Its animations were fun for a bit, but it wasn't quite as fun as Archon, which allowed you to have the pieces fight. Now I do appreciate real chess, having learned it at a young age. I'm no Garry Kasparov, though, and it's been a long time since I've played it. I haven't run across a lot of chess enthusiasts lately.

My favorite death animation was the rook eating the queen. I gues that probably came out wrong, LOL. And speaking of the queen... dat ass.

Especially now that they've seemingly resolved whatever dispute they had with Ikegami, and have Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr on Switch, they should do it. I want to play Vs. Balloon Fight.

Since Iwata worked on the NES version of Millipede, I wonder if he worked on the NES version of Joust as well? That was made by HAL. And the first game he made was Balloon Fight, which is basically a Nintendo knockoff of Joust.

Xevious Review

I didn't play Xevious until it came out on Namco Museum on PS1. I had heard of it though through ads for home versions of it on Atari computers. I wasn't too impressed with it when I did play it. I did recognize the little background ditty that it plays that was incorporated into one of the music tracks for Earthbound.

I played a very similar vertical scrolling game, Megazone from Konami.

I feel the same way, although I still prefer Super Mario 64 over either DK64 or B-K. I also felt that Turok probably holds up better now than Goldeneye did, since the thing that made Goldeneye so popular, the split-screen multiplayer, isn't quite as special as it used to be.

I'd like to see Nintendo release an arcade collection, but the only collection I can really remember Nintendo releasing is Super Mario All-Stars, so that ain't gonna happen. And it won't have Popeye either. I don't know how the licensing to Popeye works, but I do know the IP is going to be public domain at some point in the near future.

DMC 5 looks like a welcome return to form after DmC. Still waiting for Bayonetta 3 though.
