It's Asteroids. With more flashing lights. THE FUTURE!

A quick Wikipedia search would do you well: "For the soundtrack to Streets of Rage 3, Koshiro created a new composition method called the "Automated Composing System" to produce "fast-beat techno like jungle."^[1] It was the most advanced techno technique of the time, incorporating heavily randomized sequences.^[2] This…

I'm still convinced that Koshiro invented dubstep with this soundtrack and the (admittedly more abstract and not-as-beloved) SOR 3 soundtrack.

I'm actually with you on this one. The photo seems consistent with a photographer using 'fill flash' from his camera to illuminate subjects in shadow, but preserving the background exposure. You can see this most clearly with the person who is second from the left, where the shadow of is face is being cast on the…

I'm sorry you have so little imagination.

Or standing in waist-deep water.

Well, it looks like the EA/Nintendo feud is still alive and well. As for the 'price they can defend to other people' comment, can this guy really defend the fact that I paid $59.99 for the latest iteration of EA's NHL series despite the fact that the differences between it and its predecessor are basically cosmetic?

I don't see this as glass half full or empty, I just see it as Ninty playing damage control as the PS4 and XBone roll out. They know that a) Wii Sports was what brought in a brand new market of 'gamers' and that b) the industry is quickly going 'download only.' They're just preparing for their future, in a scrambly,…

A marketing strategy stolen directly from weight loss pill infomercials. 'First bottle free!' It could work...

I did the same with Little Inferno and now I'm working on Earthbound. I know it's a more abstract concept than the Wii's 'waggle waggle' controllers, but I still think Nintendo could do a HELL of a lot better at marketing how great it is to play games off-TV like this.

The new Link is ready for Saturday morning cartoons...if Saturday morning cartoons still existed.

I was afraid of that. Thx for the info, and enjoy the games :\

I sincerely don't get it. The majority of this is infinitely more interesting than anything they showed here in the American ND. Is it because these games aren't coming here, or do they just think that we're not interested? Ninty, I'm losing my faith.

I love pandering!

When I was a stupid high schooler I loved my Sega Saturn. But to be fair, there weren't many games for it and most of them looked terrible. Panzer Dragoon and Sega Rally Championship are the only ones I really look back on fondly. Maybe Guardian Heroes too.

I don't totally agree with this assessment. Experimentation is great and a crucial part of furthering technology and being successful in the future, but you have to release this technology with full confidence in it. SEGA showed great disregard for the products they released, especially the 32x and SEGA CD, and when…

For chrissakes, give the console a chance. Because we all know how well it worked out for SEGA when they released console after console in quick succession in the 90s. Yeesh.

As great and as forward-thinking as the Dreamcast was, it was ultimately SEGA's mismanagement in the previous generation that killed it. I know that I wasn't the only one who felt burned out and a little betrayed after the 32x, SEGA CD, and then (less egregious) the Saturn. I found it hard to put my trust and money…

"Dead on Level 3. That's it, I'm done."

Anyone who has seen Grave of the Fireflies or Only Yesterday (granted, both Takahata-directed films, not Miyazaki) knows that Ghibli is NOT just a children's film company. This is a non-issue.
