More Capcom Classics Collection Goodness. I like 1943 better than 1942. Don’t get me wrong, 1942 is good but 1943 is just more improved. Also, I found out that Mercs is 3 player co-op. Time to dust off the Multi-tap!!

Thanx, i think i might get it.:tup:
And i bought lost in blue, and it’s cool and all, but i keep dying. It’s not me that dyes, but the girl does, and it’s hard to make a living by only fiding random things on the floor. But i think it’ll get better once i get the bow and fishing rod.

I’ve never even seen the arcade version of Mercs…or is this something different than what I know to be the cool early 90s-era game on Sega Genesis?

hmm…actually, this is it from the arcade games I fondly remember. Between Capcom’s new classics collection, Namco’s several volume-releases, and the Konami discs…they’ve already released nearly all the arcade games I enjoyed. I never played the Aliens vs. Predator beatemup, so I’m definitely looking forward to that if Capcom makes a 2nd classics disc(and they better) See, back then I was always distracted by other games…I think that was right in the era of fighting games hitting it big…so I foolishly just figured "eh, that AvP will always be around…I’ll get to it later on… one day. I mean, it’s not like arcades will suddenly DIE one day…" <<–ahaha…famous last words.

I think it’s time for some more “Ranger” action…I’ll hit up the wonderful world of Viewtiful Joe in just a sec…

It’s on X-Box too! Only a second of loading for Street Fighter 2, but in order to play it, you’ll have to have a decent controller.

In my local laundromat, they have a marvel superheroes arcade cabinet and a neo-geo one. The neo-geo one has some soccer game, metal slug, king of fighters 99, and an airplane game. I played some metal slug.

I picked up Rayman DS. Almost immediately, I started to wonder why. Rayman 2 was by far my least favorite of the series’ titles, and right away all of the old annoyances hit me again. I guess that “games you never beat” thread got me wanting to go back and actually finish that stupid-ass final boss fight on the flying bomb thing.

Hmm… I’ll prolly pick up Capcom Classics next paycheck, since locally games tend to be about a week or two behind anyway. And maybe get CV: Dawn of Sorrow as well. Haven’t decided yet.

I finished Ico today. That game is the SHIT. Its like youre playing a movie. I highly recommend that game to anyone who likes problem-solving, puzzle games with real characters and kick ass graphics. Its a short game too (beat it in 5 and a half hours) so you feel that sense of accomplishment quickly, for those impatient gamers. Gonna try to finish Metroid Prime 2 and KOTOR2 before buying more games.

Whoops! You’re right. I ment to say it’s for PS2 and Xbox. There is no GC version of CCC collection, unfortunatly. No love for the 'Cube.

Remy, whatever you do, just make sure you don’t throw your DS on the ground while trying to beat Rayman 2’s disgustingly cheap final boss.

Even though I beat Ultimate Spider-Man I’m still playing it. Web-sling is almost as fun as it was in Spidey 2. Turning is a lot easier in USM though and overall, web-slinging is still a blast. I can also play as Venom whenever I want but it’s like playing a GTA game with a 4 star wanted level. Cops and SHIELD agents every. But I’ll still keep playing to beat all the races and collect all the tokens and comic covers.

As for Cacom Classics Collectin, Legendary Wings is TOUGH. Myabe not Super Ghouls & Ghosts tough but still pretty freaking hard. And I love Commando but I suck at it. I could use a buddy to cover me when the fire gets heavy but the game is only one player and I’m still working on the limited range of bombs. Million, you pick this up yet?

Just got the demo of DWVIII. Plan to play that shit tonight.

Also NBA 2K6 owns my soul. This game is the sports title of the year.

Ultra V-rated Power! I was playing UV mode Viewtiful Joe yesterday…I almost got a RV for the first stage…I just made a stupid mistake on that one part with the chandeliers…I flew by, completely forgetting about some of those Cromartys that show up…thus, missing valuable V-point opportunities. I’m up to the Mag5 now. I will never get tired of playing Viewtiful Joe…

and yeah, I WILL get “Super Joe” one day. Speaking of which, I haven’t played “Super Blue” in a long time. All Rainbow Vs in this is truly one of my most proud gaming accomplishments…

Just bought that relatively new Hulk game, also Indigo Prophecy and Capcom Classics, I’m sure I probably won’t play them til next year though lol.

I’m playing HOUNTIG GROND another Survival Horror of CAPCOM!

when did you order it? I ordered mine the same morning they put it on the website and I have yet to get it. I can’t wait for that game!

I’ll try not too.:rofl:

I never could beat that damned bastard when I had the PC version. Maybe if I stick with it I can manage this time.

Still hooked on the Capcom Clasics Collection. Ugh, my SFII: WW skills must have gotten rusty. Dudes like Ken and E. Honda give me a hard time even on the lower settings. And I finally figured out why Guile is so top tier now: priority. The dude has loads of it. I’m tempted to say he’s broken but I think that’d be giving him way too much credit. As it stands, I can’t even beat SFII: WW without continuing!! Waaaah!!! Does anyone else prefer to play the SFII games with the remixed tunes? The CPS stuff kinda grew on me but I like the remixed songs better.

And I’m still not bored with Final Fight. It could very well be my all-time favorite beat 'em-up. (Sorry, Streets of Rage 2 fans). I just wish the option to disable hurting your buddy in co-op was included. It kinda makes shoulder-tossing harder to do because my friend was almost constaly behind me when I performed it. I loved Final Fight One on my GBA and now that I can finally play an arcade perfect version… oh, man… it’s just… too… freaking… GOOD!!! And the artwork you can unlock for Final Fight is NIIIIIIIIIIIICE. Especially the scene with a bleeding Andrea. Anyone hate fighting Sodom? I’ve improved at fighting since waauaaaay back in the day but if you approach him wrong you’re screwed.

I think I got down to stage 20 on 1942. I’m tempted to make the score less for extra lives. Sigh, I’m so weak.

If you enjoyed ICO, you DEFINITELY need to try the Indigo Prophecy. The way that events change depending on how you confront people in various states of mind is simply amazing. A simple concept, but very well done. Presented in a very realistic, cinematci fashion. It’s the shit. I’m going to pick up the full game when I’m done with X-Men Legends 2.

Tru that. thanks for the recommendation. Ive also heard its kinda like Shenmue and I LOVED Shenmue back in the dreamcast days. Beat it twice just for shits and giggles. Was a little disappointed with Shenmue 2 and the fact that you could only train once a day with that old man, and so never beat it. When Im done with some other games Ill definitely try it out. I also pre-ordered Shadow of the Colossus yesterday. So much for that “not buying new games yet” crap.:tup:

Well, I played the Xbox demo disc I “acquired” recently…Marvel Nemesis really does suck. This is a damn shame…it had such strong potential. The game simply isn’t fun to play…from what little of it there is on the demo(*bullshit–you can ONLY be Johnny Ohm or Spidey. Come on…that’s how demos were back in the 90s. Get that crap outta here) The graphics/visuals look GREAT…and that’s the only good thing to say about it.

The Suffering Ties that Bind…it’s funny. There’s lots of good violence, and a nice horror tone. I don’t like the camera system though…it seems awkward. This isn’t something I’d rush out to buy. Perhaps one day when it’s dirt cheap.

x-men 2 legends is fantastic co-op, just wish there was a way to combine character sets from different saved gamess so that you dont always have to play together to progress
