Post by: BobFromPikeCreek on February 02, 2012, 01:09:34 AM: I'm gonna have so many wicked flashbacks of jamming quarters into this shit in Knob Hill Farms. There was this stupid capsule machine with an animatronic monkey that advertised a ring watch. I wanted that ring watch SO BAD. Kinda glad I never got it because I now realize ring watches are distinguished mentally-challenged and I probably would've had my ass kicked mercilessly.

Post by: The Sceneman on February 02, 2012, 03:06:14 AM: yeah it was probably my favourite childhood arcade game until Metal Slug came out. I pumped so many 20c pieces into this game

Title: Re: Simpsons Arcade hits XBLA on Friday
Post by: Sho Nuff on February 03, 2012, 11:46:20 AM: Just tried it. It's Backbone phoning it in again, total bare-bones port. Interface looks like shit and the filtering is inconsistent. After the incredible ports of Final Fight you'd think they'd actually try.

Post by: Cravis on February 03, 2012, 11:56:34 AM: Ugh. I can't stand Backbone's half assed ports.

Post by: Sho Nuff on February 03, 2012, 12:02:52 PM: I mean it plays fine, but you'd might as well just play it on fucking mame or something if you don't want to drop $10 for the multiplayer.
Title: Re: Simpsons Arcade hits XBLA on Friday
Post by: Mr. Gundam on February 03, 2012, 12:48:00 PM: Picking this up on Tuesday for PSN. I'm cool with a bare bones port, I just want to play the game with my wife.

Multiplayer is worth it alone. MAME is for losers who play by themselves. Who wants to play The Simpsons/XMEN/whatever by themselves.

"- Four different ways to play the game. Relive your favorite game modes, including the original coin-op experience in "Quarters" mode, or enjoy "Survival" mode which challenges you to see how far you can get with only one life! And for those looking for a more casual experience, "Free Play" gives unlimited continues so you can enjoy the ride."
