So, it's basically the little start this game you shake a wiimote at and that propel you around in Mario Galaxy?

Or maybe there’s an uncompressed UHD rickroll video hidden somewhere in the file structure...?

Dr. Manhattan is missing his weakness to emotion, and where’s iron man’s dependency on his suit? Also batman can fight bare handed, but he’s only really batman if he has his gadgets.

That’s not even his final form, too.

Love the last section in which Gordon and the background (and sound effect implementation!) look ripped straight off a classic Lucasarts game.

“This is not a cosplay. It’s not a statue. It’s art. Fantastic art.”

Oh, goody. This brought me back memories of a 2000 game by Shiny called Messiah. Anyone remember that one? Pretty interesting concept, I’d love to see that one updated.

I haven’t seen any in a long time, but I don’t doubt they do. I’m pretty sure they still manufacture master system consoles. Still, you’d have to go look for it in specific places; most stores only carry ps3/4, xb360/one and 3ds. Then again, apparently you don’t even need a license to make a NES clone anymore, due to…

They do! I have at least a dozen of those in my collection.

Oh yeah, that a too! I remember carrying that around to play with my cousin, doing pew pew sounds (that I could also use it with the video game itself was a cool extra).

The Phantom System was my first console. It’s a licensed NES clone by Brazilian company Gradiente. It’s got NES innards and plays NES games, but the console box itself is a ripoff of Atari 7800 (Gradiente actually planned to launch the 7800 in Brazil, but rightfully decided the NES would be a better bet... but by then…

Funny how less than a week ago I was talking to a friend and he was telling me about his fond memories of this game.

And he went and stole a bunch (fistful?) of coins from link’s coat... instead of rupees? wasted opportunity.

Yes, and it sucks! There’s nothing inherently multiplayer about procedural destruction, it’s only associated with multiplayer because it necessitates the connection. The more game features migrate to cloud-only (and/or multiplayer-only), the more we’ll be losing when publishers kill their servers.

And still, multiplayer games routinely have the servers pulled down whenever the publisher or developer think it’s no longer interesting to keep them up. If not in two years, then in four, or six, with a scant few remarkable exceptions. Which means that content is pretty much lost for good. Server-based gaming can be…

It does look rather interesting...

And then, once the servers are deactivated in a couple years, it doesn’t work anymore. meh.

and in #1 he can almost see the top of his necktie, whereas the diagram is looking down on his chest. It’s mostly a funny article, but not accurate at all.

Actually, splatoon would make a lot of sense in 2D - except in top-down 2D! It would still be strategic and frantic, but more approachable for people who have trouble navigating a game in 3D. I would love to play that with my girlfriend (she won’t touch any 3d shooter)

TLOZ: Lung of windscreen. Interest piqued.

Beautiful concept, based on a beautiful car, absolutely wallpaper-worthy. Can’t help but think the flat paneling would be better at deceiving radar signals than at adding downforce and negating turbulence (ie. making the car aerodynamically superior), however.
