The arcade version must be better because I enjoyed playing it quite a bit on the Capcom Classics Collection.  I'm sure unlimited credits helps, though.

The two dudes from Forgotten Worlds are playable characters in the Japan-only PS2 game Namco X Capcom.  The shopkeeper, Sylphy, pictured in your blog, also shows up in that game.  Sylphy also runs a card shop in SNK vs.Capcom: Card Fighters Clash on NGPC, and they play the same music and everything!

Because I'm so nice, your pretend present is an Amiibo with ALL the Pokemon on it.  So either the Pokemon are really small or the Amiibo is really big.

I don't remember that special.

Your pretend present is the golden hammer from Wrecking Crew.

As long as it's not Pac-World from Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures.  :)

Your pretend present is a special vitamin pill that will make you be healthy forever when you take it, and you won't have to exercise ever again.  And you'll be able to lift garbage trucks.

Your pretend present is a bass trombone.  Now you can make music using the instrument I played in high school.

If it only worked like a real magic wand.

My pretend present to you is a Taito Flashback.  Kind of like the Atari and Genesis Flashback consoles, but with all Taito games!  Wouldn't that be cool?

My pretend present to you is a Captain Syrup Amiibo.  It'll be a cold day in Hell before Nintendo uses that character again!

I hope us Americans make you feel welcome when you visit!

I'll post my Game of the Year blog in late December/early January.

Looks like they're taking the BlazBlue approach to this, huh?  I don't think fighting games really need complicated stories.  I'd be totally fine if the Guilty Gear storyline was, "Once upon a time it was Baiken's birthday and everyone fought over the last piece of birthday cake.  The end."  I'll let you know when I review the new game, though.  Might even write a blog about the characters if I like them enough.

I don't read comics at all, really.  All my Marvel knowledge comes from the movies and Marvel vs. Capcom games.  Both movies were fun.  The characters went to cool places and did cool stuff and it was entertaining.  That's all you need.
