They werent that bad. Also, graphics doesn’t make a game good or bad - it is mostly the gameplay. If graphics was the deciding factor, a lot of the indie games that do not spirte retro graphics would be “mediocre” because of that. For instance, the Return of Obra Dinn would be considered bad. Graphics tend to be subjec…

I don’t think Secret of Mana remake was that bad to be considered mediocre as it was basically faithful to the original other than the ability to hit 360 directions and the polygon graphics. I feel that if the remake was bad, it was due to the original as that didn’t aged well.

I just went to play Smash as Hi-Score in Alameda, and it was interesting. It reminded me of those Nintendo kiosk back in the way - I am aware such the console kiosk still exist, but most of the time the controls are not plugged into the system.

Because I live nearby this Hi-Score place, I went there once. As such, there is a registered by the door where you play 6 dollars for one hour or 12 dollars for the entire day. The cashier then gives you a bracelet with the time your game time is up.  Because I go to the toy store next door weekly, which I am going to…

I should check out the Alameda Hi-Score location as it is a couple blocks from me; I hardly go in since 6 dollars to play retro games, some which are likely on Raspberry Pi machines in cabinets, doesn't seem to be worth the price especially when I have half the titles in collection sets.  It is next to a used toy…

In addition, I can imagine Konami hiring a whole different team in an attempt to port the later console games via source code. While M2 are considered masters in the realm of emulation, I am not sure if they have the manpower or the will to port the later games over by use of source code. I would imagine Konami using…

I said Hard Corps Xbox 360 game as it was also released for the PS3 - I said Hard Corps 2 because I couldn’t remember the actual name at the time.  Hard Corps 2/Hard Corps Xbox360 game title is actually “Hard Corps: Uprising.”

Capcom? Unless Boll was sitting on a bunch of unused Capcom licenses for film adaptations that I was unaware of, the guy has never made a Capcom videogame movie.

Thank you for the clarification, sir. I can also imagine it being somewhat difficult to play Contra 4 on a tv screen considering that the game utilize both screens. While the VC had DS on the WiiU, it felt awkward playing DS games with the dual screens side-by-side or with small screens stacked up on another another.

Athough I am a bit disappointed not to see any Contra games added to the collection beyond Hard Corps, it is understandable since I would imagine M2 or whoever, would have to make commercial emulators of the PS1 (if you lile the crappy Contra titles), PS2(Shattered Soldier and Neo), PS3 (Hard Corps 2), GBA (Contra 3…

I might be wrong, but I assumed that the walking animation was an homage to Ein when he experienced srooms in Cowboy Bebop:

That is strange (pun not intended) as I do not recall of an option to go back when you are with Cassidy. My Sean received some ACTION, though he regretted it for being fast.

“Smashing Punks in (smashing pumpkins...get it? *crickets chirping*) With my Fists Feels Great in Streets of Rage 4". Fixed the heading by adding a lame pun for you. :P

As for the Contra bundle, I predict that Operation C, Contra Rebirth, Contra Hard Corps, and Contra Force despite technically not a C game.

As others have said, the DS games are unlikely. Since the Super Nintendo version of Dracula X and Castlevania Chronicles were ported prior, I can see those being in the bundle.

Your prediction list makes sense considering how Rondo and SOTN are pointed to death. On the other hand, Rondo and SOTN had a bundle release on the ps4. I also like your suggestion of a Rebirth game since that seems logical especially with a Contra bundle coming out as well. As such, I am guessing Castlevania…

I haven’t read the Kotaku Sunday Comics section for awhile, so I was a bit confused when seeing the female character at the bottom of the panel. I looked at the back issues and realized that there something big happened in the strips a few years ago. I think that was amazing.

I concur. Ever since the Dark Knight movie, I imagine a dark Superman film by making Superman/Clark and Smallville positive and not dark, but make Metropolis dark. Not only would this make Superman a bit of a small fish in a huge pond scenario, it would show the contrast between the two cities, as well as the…

If this Sendler was being truthfully that his name is being tarnished by a journalist making stuff up (defamation), couldn’t Sendler sue rather than making a post about it? I doubt Sendler would since he knows that Jennings is not making stuff up.

I did this a decade ago when I was in my mid 20s’, and when people who were looking from the outside in reacted to it, I was referred to as a “girl” to being “gay.” I can understand why the latter was being used since I treated the situation as a break up - despite that these knew these fellas since 5th grade, I…
