bloodstorm is a rare game and terrible, but man Time Killers was bad.

i have only seen it in the arcades once and that was when it first came out. also the Sega Genesis version isnt any better.



but yea arcades have fallen, weither you want to belive it or not. arcades arnt the same as they were 20 years ago. we lost two of our biggest arcade places about 2 years ago here and because of that there isnt anyother place to play arcade games.

also im not looking forward to SFIV, it doesnt look good and a $1 to play a fighting game but only have a 6 match limit?? wtf??

I'm a big SF fan I cant wait for IV it looks awsome. I personally love the look of the 2.5D graphics.
Never really took a liking to Guilty Gear but I remember complaining to someone recently that they haven't redisigned their chars in nearly a decade so this new title step is defo a good thing.

I'd be very greatful for a PAL release of Crono Trigger DS(I never actually finished that game!)

To be fair, Street Fighter IV is OBSCENELY expensive for arcade owners/operators. The game goes for anywhere from 12,000 to 20,000 US Dollars (according to the blog Arcade Heroes and a few Ebay listings) and even though they probably don't want to charge a full dollar for six matches, they most likeyl need to in order to make a profit from the game.

And I actually like how the game looks - although It's even better seeing it in action.

In all honesty, if 1)PC-FX games were to become downloadable on the Virtual Console, 2)They were made available in America, and 3)If Battle Heat was downloadable via the VC... Then I think I would actually buy it.

It does look interesting.

Wow... so Nintendo finally released SMRPG on the VC only about a year after I stopped caring about the endless parade of 80's-era scrolling shooters and old Sega games I've never heard of. Nice... Maybe if I ever turn my Wii on again, I'll pay the 10 bucks or whatever they're charging just so I can own it.

*Continues to wait until SoM or Seiken Densetsu 3 come to the NA VC.

I have also seen that episode of My Little Pony. It really does exist, as the furniture in Paradise Estate decides to turn vicious on the ponies. Those early MLP cartoons were pretty intense. Escape from Catrina anyone?

Ahh and I look forward to your preview of the My Little Pony Pinkie Pie game coming out this month too (or is it next month?) Hmmm... definitely yes.

More Prinnys! That's always good news.
No Viva Pinata 2 love?

This is a really interesting column this week. Fighting games, so much love for them~

Good Zangief players are mesmerizing to watch. They really are. D:

Fate/unlimited codes looks stupidly reliant on insanely long combo strings... much like it's unofficial predecessor Fatal/Fake. Except it's super pretty at least~

When is the United States release of Arcana Heart 2 and does it include the content from Suggoi the updated version of that title?
