That sucks there's a jump you can't get past at the end of all places. I thought this would be about the bad PS4 game. Pleasant surprise it is a blog on a cheap arcade title.
I don't think I've ever played Centipede, even though I hear about it a lot.
You sure you're thinking of the original KI and not KI: Gold as far as N64 tech demos? I wouldn't be surprised either way, but there was an N64 game as well as the arcade and SNES titles in the series. I loved Primal Rage; guess Wikipedia did not consider that a "notable release." I should find a better source for this stuff and post any I missed at the end of this blog series.
I honestly really didn't like VF4 I think it was. The one on PS2. I'm still excited for 5's inclusion in Yakuza 0, but I always preferred Tekken and thought it was more fun.
I love Super Metroid now, but as a kid I mistook the box art having a dragon to mean it was a JRPG, and I've never been a fan of those so I passed. Man, I miss having the ability to play a video game for that long.
And I love Zelda now and really want to play Link's Awakening, but again, kid me just wasn't interested so it's left out of these blogs.
Pretty much, yeah. It took some convincing and I still wouldn't have done it had he not paid.
I thought JT was fine but people were expecting Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, or Bruno Mars with RHCP. Since that didn't happen they all confused "pretty good, but not mindblowing" with "bad." I thought the performance was fine, but I wish they would have made it less obvious how pre-planned these are.
Yeah, my roommate was like "I don't think we (Patriots) can do it" once that Ertz TD went through and I was like, "Dude, have you watched your team?" But I guess he was right.
I never did play on Game Gear.
See, I'm familiar with and have played all of those, but I wasn't alive in the 80s, so I forget when I'm just working off the top of my head.
I'm familiar with all of those save for Mappy and Marble Madness. I just never really know when something was released in arcades in 80s, 90s, 70s, etc. I should actually look into that more for this series.
And yeah, I got Orchid and Jade mixed up because they look really similar.
Jim Beam and Dr. Pepper has a nice pepperminty flavor when done right. However, if they water it down it can taste like garbage, so it's a bit of a Russian Roulette kina thing.
I never found the first few levels of any DKC too hard, but then I never really got that far either.
Damn, I forgot about Revolution X. Where you would kill people with Aerosmith CDs, right? I played that in arcades a ton.
I can agree with that. I definitely preferred the X series when I would rent. I actually really liked Mega Man Soccer, though I'm not sure Wikipedia would consider that a "notable release." In fairness, I think I only rented that once.
I don't remember near as much about Yoshi's Island as I do about SMW, but both were great games.
Favorite Tekken character? Hmmm ... Xiayou? Or if we're only counting the original, then Nina?
I'm not familiar with Rolling Thunder.
I think that trilogy was pretty special, though I definitely remember 3 the least.
I don't see how slamming DKC would be beneficial for Nintendo though. Apparently, Miyamoto was annoyed they didn't want to sell SMW2 until he changed the art style to be more like DKC and he instead made it even more cartoony and they accepted the more cartoony art style.
I think what Casey said about him trying to drive them to do better might make sense but ... I just have no idea. Whatever the case, we ended up with two great games.
