Its new super mario bros, but also the same

[Takao]

I have never been less interested in Mario platformers than I have been for this year's double shot. NSMB2 looks bland as fuck, and I have no plans to buy a Wii U so that's that.

[Timber]

Okao Takao

[Huff]

Co oping the wii game was pretty fun. So not having online co op is why I'm not going to bother with nsmb2.

Think the new Raman will have online?

[Takao]

[demi]

That's awesome, I would play that. I watched that first season a shitload as a kid.

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Friend gifted me Terraria. Tried playing it but it's a bit of a snoozer. Guess for now I'm going to wait and see just how horrendous the Dark Souls PC port ends up being.

[Momo]

You guys need to go play Monster Rancher or something lol

[demi]

Monster Rancher is doodoo

[Takao]

I'm one of the 12 people who bought the English release of Monster Rancher DS.

Demi's right. It was doodoo.

[Takao]

I'm not 100% certain, but because of the shading I think the PSP Dragon Ball games actually looked better. The PS2 ones certainly did. Doesn't matter anyways since this 3DS game is some lazy port of an arcade game.

[ferrarimanf355]

Is it me, or does Dyad remind me a little of this late-'80s gem from Atari Games?

[iconoclast]

WWE 13 has a pretty good roster (consisting of current stars & guys from the attitude era): http://wwe.thq.com/roster

1997 HBK is best HBK.

edit: Most of the models look horrendous

[iconoclast]

Having the Hunter Hearst Helmsley version of HHH is pretty dumb, and I have no idea why there are two Litas, but I don't mind the rest of the doubles. I have no idea what the story mode is supposed to be like either, but it could be fun if they use the roster wisely.

Steve Blackman would've been great though. He was supposed to be on the 1000th episode of Raw too.

[Momo]

THREE HHH's and no Liontamer Jericho? looooool

[Trent Dole]

THREE HHH's and no Liontamer Jericho? looooool

Which one married into ownership of the company again? There's you answer as to why.

[Momo]

Old (factual) meme about Triple H always burying Jericho. I mean he buries everyone, but Jericho gets it especially badly.

Well, at least Microsoft is acknowledging old Rare franchises, I suppose.

see you in hell, nintendo power

[Joe Molotov]

I started with issue #3 and I had a subscription up through about 60.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

I had a friend in elementary school who subscribed to them and I would always read the magazines once he was done with them.  Since I was a broke ass kid, I really liked looking at the articles about various games.

But our source says that Nintendo, which was always "difficult to work with," was uninterested in renewing that contract or in taking part in a number of digital initiatives that Future saw as necessary for the long-term health of the brand.

Goddamn, Nintendo is fucking lazy example #435094390

Nintendo fans getting fucked by nintendo? must be tuesday.

[Positive Touch]

i had a sub from super castlevania up til like the virtual boy.  i loved the shit out of the mag because OMG SCREENSHOTS AND MAPS, but it was a pretty bad mag.  not gamepro bad, but still bad.

[Purple Filth]

Rare fans were trolled heavily. 

that thread was grade A 

[Raban]

There's this thread on the first page of GAF's gaming side asking about Maximo and it reminded me how fucking awesome that game is. I don't remember an action-platormer that kicked a fraction of the ass that game did. Then I remembered it was a Capcom joint and since the sequel they seem to have forgotten it completely.

What happened to Capcom that made it so they can't make games like that anymore? I think I know the answer, so that was a more rhetorical question, but I miss games that could be original and challenging and even pay homage to a classic series in the process.

[Positive Touch]

i loved the first but like everyone else i ignored the second.  will have to try it if its cheap on the psn store.

[Raban]

Maximo was forgotten because Army of Zin was one of the biggest bombs in Capcom's entire PS2 catalog.  Kind of last gen's Bionic Commando 2009, if you will.

RIP GRIN. That was my GOTY 2009.

Was Army of Zin really that big of a bomb? What, like <100k?

[Mr. Gundam]

Bionic Commando 2009 is awesome. 

[Purple Filth]

yep, and closer to 0 than 100k.

WAT?

[Raban]

yep, and closer to 0 than 100k.

Actually, it must be a day that ends in "y". That explains the death of Nintendo Power and Nintendo screwing their fandom in the ass without any lube.

WELL OKAY

[The Sceneman]

just about to head into the National Museum to help vet and shortlist potential New Zealand content for the upcoming "Game Masters" exhibition, which showcases the most famous game designers and developers. Should be interesting.

I'm gonna push for Shatter, Voxatron and Path of Exile to be featured.

[The Sceneman]

meeting went great, I'm very excited about this exhibition. Sega Rally Tournament is one of the planned events

[Huff]

so i bought and installed retro/grade from the psn and along with this game, avatar the game also installed. lol wtf

Saidaioujou is coming to 360 in Spring 2013

OH GOD I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW. At least I already know what the 2013 GotY is.


edit: Some more info:

Asada just did a live broadcast talking about the port at Microsoft’s X360 event today in Tokyo. He even played a bit of the port for the audience (they have it up and running already). Some bits of info:

-Mushi HD was the last port they had planned, but due to the great success of SDOJ in the arcades, Microsoft talked them into releasing it on the X360 earlier this month.
-Asada is interested in using Smartglass for new games. He’s also interested in expanding more into other genres and fusing them with shooting, as they did with Instant Brain.
-He’s working on 2 other projects right now but declined to talk about them.
-He’s going to try and make SDOJ more accessible to a wider audience, something he says they failed to do with previous ports. Whether or not he will be successful remains to be seen, he was a bit vague on his intentions in this regard.
-They already decided the exact release date but they would only say it is Spring 2013, my bet is it will be in April (1 year anniversary of the arcade release).

This redeems MS for being incredibly shitty over the last 3 years.

Its commonly accepted that the WiiU is more powerful than the 360 and Ps3. The problem is that its not more powerful enough to matter.

You will never get to tour Valve.

Just found an unopened copy of Condemned 2 for the 360 in my closet. I must have bought this for cheap years ago!

Or you bought it expensive then hid it to hide your shame

[chronovore]

From a different thread; thought this was cool so I'm xposting.

never saw this.  cool advertising.

Also, I like to encourage FM from posting stuff other than people dying and exposed wounds from STDs and stuff.

I have like a thousand RB songs on my PS3 hard disk, including the exports from RB1, RB2, Lego, Green Day and the track packs. Of course I'm pumped to get a new way to use them!

Yep, the new XCOM sure looks amazing. I'll definitely be pre-ordering it for the classic Guile hairstyle.
