Which euro adventure got rejected by gabe?

Probably Gray Matter.

Bebpo · « **Reply #8461 on:** March 13, 2012, 07:37:02 PM »

The majority of European published adventure games never appear on steam for whatever reason. Even when they get great reviews and win lots of awards like this one:

Instead you have to buy them through some crappy euro site that never discounts the games and you have to pay exchange fees

Yet they allowed the roffletastic Dead Mountaineer's Hotel, but as you said, if you can just get that first game on Steam then they'll let you put anything on there.

It sounds like Gerstmann is finally going to describe his view of what happened that led to his firing in a podcast or something, so at least one good thing will come out of this.

you know i just had a random tought... mgs3 is coming to 3DS right?

wasn't this annoying enough when there was no 3D effect to begin with? jumpscare + 3D = not good
actualy aren't they doing some sort of project zero game too?

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #8473 on:** March 17, 2012, 09:04:31 PM »

Someone mentioned this on GAF and I tried it. The frame-rate isn't rock solid but its a damn fun game. Especially if you can convince a few friends to buy it and get some multiplayer going. And its fucking 80 points.

Beezy · « **Reply #8474 on:** March 17, 2012, 10:41:18 PM »

Nice, I'll try that out. Haven't bought an indie game in so long.

Cindi Mayweather · « **Reply #8475 on:** March 18, 2012, 12:37:16 AM »

maybe by 2013 we can have a megaman korean MMO too!

Looks nice but is it really that hard these days to simply ask for a straight forward HD version of Ghouls n' Ghosts or Castlevania without a multiplayer gimmick.

Bebpo · « **Reply #8483 on:** March 20, 2012, 02:12:37 AM »

I turned off my cpu fan (not the heatsink or main computer fan) months ago I guess because it was making annoying noises. Was wondering why my computer was so hot and cpu temps were ~80C when playing games. Eek. Hopefully didn't do any damage in the long run. I read cpu cores can run up to like 100C max and if they're too hot they throttle down performance.

Momo · « **Reply #8484 on:** March 20, 2012, 03:27:01 AM »

Did any of you play the Nekketsu series growing up? Interested in filling out my collection but cant be arsed to get the carts and original hardware. Has millions made any available as digital downloads?

Momo · « **Reply #8485 on:** March 20, 2012, 04:20:42 AM »

I played the original carts on NES/SNES in Japanese so I will be fine. My favorites were the football(soccer for you guys) and the street athletic games. I have the Football carts still but my NES long since died

River City Ransom and I think Renegade got released on the Wii Virtual Console in NA. The Japanese Wii VC got a bunch of them, and heck, even the 3DS VC has one of the Game Boy games now. Not much hope of anything not released in English showing up outside Japan, though.

Crash N The Boys Street Challenge got a VC release too but I never played that one.

Momo · « **Reply #8488 on:** March 20, 2012, 08:49:11 AM »

Thats the street athletics one as I recall? (The other one is more "pure" athletics). Man play the shit out of it, it's amazing

Cravis · « **Reply #8489 on:** March 20, 2012, 09:29:32 AM »

Dodgeball and World Soccer were insanely good. Shame the basketball game was cancelled before being released.

Enjoyed the Japanese ones that were fan translated as well. The best SNES one I played involved you being a part of a motorcycle gang and ending up in jail. I can't recall the name. A modern remake of River City Ransom with dodgeball and soccer minigames for XBLA would be godly.

Cravis · « **Reply #8490 on:** March 20, 2012, 09:46:48 AM »

I remember there being an XBLA Indie title that was released in Japan. It was basically a redone dodgeball. I downloaded the trial once but I don't remember if I even played it.

I was wrong about the basketball. I was thinking of Crash and the Boys: Ice Challenge which was never released. I really dug the Double Dragon II Game Boy game too. It was basically just a reskinned Kunio GB game.

Momo · « **Reply #8491 on:** March 20, 2012, 10:16:05 AM »

@Cravis I remember that one, the opening title is at a river with green grass and a blue blue sky. The opening animation has you in jail and trying to escape as I recall.

@Oscar, I get millions dont have millions to invest in making titles everywhere, I'd just want a complete pack at this stage.

@Cravis, The ice hockey one was released for sure(NES), I remember that one well. If you can get it, get it.

Cravis · « **Reply #8492 on:** March 20, 2012, 10:58:52 AM »

Whaa??? Never knew the ice hockey was released. I know what I'm hunting down when I get home.

Does anyone know what ever came of the sequel to RCR 2 that a single guy was working on? He supposedly bought the rights and started working on it but then abandoned it when Million announced River City Ransom EX for the GBA. I always wondered if the guy was blowing smoke or if he released any images of the work in progress.

Momo · « **Reply #8493 on:** March 20, 2012, 11:07:15 AM »

^I dont actively follow the doujin scene for that specfic type of thing so I'm not sure. All I remember recently is that weird RCR MMO.

Cravis · « **Reply #8496 on:** March 20, 2012, 11:23:52 PM »

So I got to play the Kunio hockey game. Man its a blast. Shame it never got a US release. I also found a Kunio basketball game, which is really cool and very NBA Jam like sans dunks.

Momo · « **Reply #8497 on:** March 20, 2012, 11:37:58 PM »

I havent tried the basketball yet, i'll give it a bash. The Nekketsu game that was released in the west as "Knuckle Fighter" is really awesome too

Cindi Mayweather · « **Reply #8498 on:** March 21, 2012, 01:55:46 AM »

new .hack game is a Naruto Ultimate Ninja-like fighting game, bundled with an anime blu-ray.

I can't find scans. I remember this was teased, thinking it would be a new .hack game proper. Guess not.

Noel looks good in that armor. Goes to show putting these Jrpgs characters in some less fashion statement clothing might not be a bad thing. I'd like to see a jrpg with people in more realistic clothing.

Serah looks weird but at least she actually has boobs with that armor.
