i would say they do better for years already when you just look at the games themself and how polished they are. only wack things are netcode which is a big thing…and the continuation of the fullprice dlc/version rereleases which they seems to go away from.

Testament is an OG character from the original as are Baiken, Eddie, Millia, Faust, Chipp, Potemkin, and Kliff . They showed a cyber afro samurai in the original reveal so it is not like the new game will be devoid of new characters.

I didn’t even get the correct digital download code for it. They sent me a PC steam code (I only use Mac products) even though in every backer Survey I confirmed I wanted ps4.

I got my shirts, I got the Art book, and the plush. Just not the actual fucking game or the add-on DLC’s

They already knew and put the game in the trash for u. Mighty customer service

yeah it’s still an odd thing to me… the mid to late 80s was a period of time when gaming was picking up big time and becoming a major ā€œthingā€ā€¦small potatoes compared to what it is today, but things were on and poppin’…yet the people that owned these great IPs like GI Joe and He-Man, Thundercats, etc… apparently didn’t realize the potential goldmine they were sitting on. GI Joe did apparently have 1 arcade game at the time, but I think it had low distribution; I certainly never saw it…never even knew it existed until many years after arcades stopped being a big deal in America… I suspected that it was because the suits in charge of things were just old and thus hopelessly out of touch with ā€œthis new videya game thingā€ that was on the rise…they were still just concerned with trying to sell this stuff as action figures and nothing else.

Anyone here into arcade cabinets? Just wondering if anyone knows anything about repairing a monitor. My monitor in my cabinet is a bit dim and wondering if it’s worth repairing (or if it is even possible) or replacing with like an LCD or something. I’m guessing buying a whole new monitor would be expensive as hell.

Taxan made a GI Joe game for the NES that was actually a pretty cool game.

There were actually TWO G.I. Joe games for the NES, the one DoctaMario mentioned and the sequel developed by Capcom called The Atlantis Factor

I’ve heard good things

There are a lot of good games on the Genesis Mini. Though some games do have me scratching my head. Why is Alex frickin’ Kidd here? Same woth Virtua Fighter 2 and Altered Beast. No Shinning Force II, Revenge of Shinobi, Phantasy Star II or Shadow Dancer? At aleast there is Alisa Dragoon, Thunder Force III, Vector Man, Mega Man: The Wily Wars and Monster World IV.

Leave Alex Kidd alone, lol!

This is the first time I’ve played VF2 on the Genesis and it was cooler than I thought it’d be, it’s still a disappointment it’s on there in lieu of missing games the other territories have. Especially in light of the real deal being in Yakuza 2 Kiwami (which is the HD remaster that was on the PS360).

It’s faults are mostly specific to the U.S. version, lol:

Alien Soldier being available in the Asian version (Asian Megadrive specifically) and nowhere else.

M.U.S.H.A being left out of the U.S. version.

No Revenge of Shinobi or Shadow Dancer

I wanted a go at the Namco future-football game.

3-button instead of 6-button controller.

Still love mine though (U.S. version)

Cause he was the original Sega mascot. He sucks tho. Lol

I liked a couple Alex Kidd games. Miracle World and Enchanted Castle I think they were.

He did suck, he was so bad Sega had a internal contest with in the company to make a new Mascot, the Winner was Sonic, the Runner up was a Theodore Roosevelt in PJs that ended up being retooled to become Dr Robotnik
