There is supposed to be a physical edition coming from Limited Run or one of those other companies that makes physical cartridges for previously digital only games.

If only somebody could sort out the licensing behind Lunar and Lunar 2. I would love to have those games on Switch.

Loved Valkyria Chronicles 4. I got the Memoirs from Battle collectors' edition, and it was my 2018 GOTY.

 

Episode 183: These Challenging Times


Posted on 08/27/2020 at 07:44 AM | Filed Under Feature

I buy a lot of collectible Japanese RPGs where I can Sometimes I miss one. I wish I'd picked up the Definitive Works version of Xenoblade Chronicles, though it's apparently still available at Target by mail-order and at least one store in San Diego for now, but I was lucky enough to find the Fire Emblem Seasons of Warfare edition. I still have my Lunar and Lunar 2 boxes. As far as my arcade machine, I buy everything that was released legitimately, like Donkey Kong and Kangaroo. I was really excited when Donkey Kong came out on the Switch, as it is my all-time favorite arcade game. A lot of games will never be re-released. The founder of Exidy, an early 80s American arcade game maker of such games as Mouse Trap, Venture, and Targ, actually gave his blessing to people who wanted to run his company's games in emulation as long as they don't try to use them commercially. The machine I made was a kit that came from Adafruit Industries, a small company in New York. 

Stage Select:

For Tifa in Final Fantasy VII Remake, a nu... (checks notes), oh, wait, I lost that. I'd like to build new maps for a Zelda game, either Breath of the Wild or A Link to the Past. And I'd like to be able to design my own overworld as well as dungeons, since I've always considered the overworld to be just as important in a Zelda game as the dungeons.

Cage Match:

Let me preface this by saying that Dig-Dug is deservedly known as a classic. However, Mr. Do!, which was released just a few months later, improves on it in almost every way, from the graphics, animation, and sound. The gameplay is especially a big step up. It's faster-paced, you get a bouncing energy ball instead of a bicycle pump, there are multiple ways to win each stage, and if you know what you're doing you can rack up really big scores. The game really rewards you for getting good. Mr. Do! got screwed by the network. Its sequels weren't as good, and Mr. Do! itself came out not on the NES, but the SNES, at whcih time it was 14 years old and people weren't really into single-screen arcade classics. I hope it makes a comeback on the Switch as an Arcade Archives title. It's one of the games I installed on my homemade arcade machine.

And you can send my thousand dollar payment through either PayPal, Zelle, or my OnlyFans page. Julian, I am open to any counter-offers. Money Mouth

Moldy oldies: Ultima: The First Age of Darkness

On Ultima Online's opening day, Garriott was in-game as his Lord British character.giving a speech by text chat... and someone killed him. They forgot to turn the invincibility flag on for him and someone got him before they realized their mistake.

One of the biggest self imposed challenges  for Ultima fans is how to kill Lord British, who is supposed to be invincible. Garriott was irritated at first but eventually rolled with it figuriing that since he couldn't stop it, he might as well make fun of it. In one game, you can kill Lord British by dropping a plaque on him, which mirrored a real life incident where he had to go to the hospital after a sign at the Origin office fell and gave him a concussion. 

Garriott used to open Britannia Manor, his house in Austin, as a haunted house at Halloween. That was years ago, but I wish I could have gone. He apparently went all out.

Hawkins even spoke in a video which talked about how EA Sports went downhill after EA got the exclusive NFL license for Madden. 

Pouring Over 2004 Media


Posted on 08/25/2020 at 07:46 PM | Filed Under Blogs

2004 was one of the worst years of my life. My Gamecube got me through a lot of hell that year. though things started to look a little better. Didn't watch much in the way of movies, when I went out with friends we went out to clubs. I really started reading the Harry Potter series. My favorite games of the year were Tales of Symphonia, Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, and Baten Kaitos.

I have Shadow of Middle Earth on PS4, haven't really played much of it.

It's funny you say how Kirby is soft but has a hardcore name. It reminds me of how Nintendo of America markets Kirby as this tough, angry character in ads and on the packaging, to the point where Kirby named an entry on TV Tropes: American Kirby is Hardcore. This was probably my favorite Kirby commercial even though I never actually played the game.

I need to watch High Score, especially the Nintendo episode. On Facebook, I am friends with Trip Hawkins, the founder of Electronic Arts, and he's in High Score. His version of EA was awesome, but by the time he left they'd started turning into the studio-killing behemoth we know it as today.

The Games of the Turbo Grafx-16 Mini: Part 5

Castlevania: Dracula X was the SNES version of Rondo of Blood, but it was heavily stripped down from Rondo. It had fewer levels. And where Maria was a playable character who used chibi versions of the Four Guardians (Genbu, Suzaku, Seiryu, and Byakko, who also appear in a lot of Square's games), she was only a NPC on the SNES.  The soundtrack was good, but the PCE version is considered to be superior because it uses Redbook while the SNES uses MIDI.  Among SNES owners, Dracula X was also seen as being stripped down from Super Castlevania IV, since Richter didn't have the 8-way whip and abiity to rope-swing. It had really good graphics.

As I said before, I wish Working Designs had been able to get the license for the Tengai Makyo games, those were the PCE games I would have liked to have seen. And too bad this didn't have Dragon Slayer 6: Legend of Heroes on it.
