These TV/movie streams on X1 are like motion controls for me. I have absolutely no interest in them. I just roll my eyes and hope the games don't get pushed aside.
I forgot about Crackdown 3. If it's only on X1, that could be a system seller for me. It's my favorite 360 franchise.
I've wanted Double Dash since it came out, mainly because I love co-op, and having two players in one kart seemed awesome to me. One day I'll get to it. Kirby's Air Ride sounds interesting.
I own Super Circuit on GBA, but haven't played it yet. Your description has me excited to start it.
The only Kart game I've really played is Diddy Kong Racing.
I had a slot car set as a kid. Loved that thing.
There are very few underwater games out there. Undertow on XBLA is all I can think of. It's a shame, such a good environment for a game.
Gosh, forget motion controls already Nintendo. It's such a bunch of nonsense. It was just an attempt to bring non-gamers into the fold, and it worked to a degree, but they've left now. Let's get back to gaming.
Oh man, that Acapella guy is so awesome! I love that Hammond B3 organ sound in Whiter Shade of Pale too. So soulful. Love it!
Holy horse and rhino! If I was even a little bit inebriated while watching that, I would've completely lost my mind. Wait. . . am I drunk now? I must've been right? I mean, I couldn't really have just watched a film about people who talked about Noah's Ark, then turned into animals, had a race, got shot from cannons, went to a dance, then raced again, and then got launched into space on missiles. Could I?
Flicky might actually be kinda good, I just didn't give it much of a chance. It seemed too simple to me on first play. I do that sometimes, just charge through a game and miss some of the mechanics. Like in The Fairyland Story, I turned a guy into a cake and then said, "Now what?" and was about to quit when my friend yelled over my shoulder, "push them off the platform dummy!" and I said, "Oh yea." Maybe I was getting arcade game fatigue near the end of this collection.
By the way, I'm having a better time with Ecco the Dolphin on PSP right now. I'm hoping I can stick with it. I want to see all of the game.
I'm getting a better grip on the controls playing Ecco on the PSP at the moment. We'll see how long that lasts though.
Very few of these Taito games made it to the arcades I used to go to. There was Front Line, Space Invaders, and Jungle Hunt. That's about it. Same with Konami games. When I saw those on Xbox Live's Game Room, they were all totally new to me.
Later on I thought of Team Ninja working on Metroid Other M and thought maybe they'll do the next one too. Does that mean breast physics and volleyball?
