ahh i cant wait to show eveyone the joys of poor translations

 

The Revolution really is appealing to me mroe than any of the other next gen consoles atm. I already have an xbox so don't need to invest in games which are merely going to be the same as what is currently available to me, just with newer graphics and storylines. The Revolution looks sleek, sexy, and has some incredibly cool innovations. The fact that it'll be able to take the place of my Megadrive and provide me with access to 700odd titles is just brilliant, and I hope they expand the catalogue to incorporate some of the other older consoles.

Before this announcement I really wasn't sold on the revolution. The bizarre controller and lack of HDTV support kinda left it looking a little lackluster in my view but now I think I'm sold. Although, I'm not sure how playing the old Genesis (Mega Drive) classics on that funky gamepad will be. Perhaps if the controller port/wireless allows different gamepads that resemble those of the old systems then I'll be in for one for sure.

I loooooved those games. Other than those I really liked the Fatal Fury games (although they were ports from the Neo Geo games). I never owned them but I rented them a few times and thought they were great fighting games. One of my favorite games was definitely Road Rash. My friend and I spent all night earning the most expensive bike in the game and I got to race it first. Unfortunately I crashed and burned totaling the bike so we never got to use it again and never had the motivation to earn it all over again.

I REALLY wish they would add sega CD games too, I had a few of those I really loved. Unfortunately I sold all my Sega gear to buy my gf a birthday present when I was in high school. I guess since we're still together 9 years later it was a pretty good investment but oh what I wouldn't give to have that stuff back right now. Buying it off ebay or something simply wouldn't be the same as having my old stuff that I opened up on xmas mornings and on birthdays and sadly I can't remember all the games I had.

I also find it pretty cool that such simple games entertained us so much back then. Looking at the titles lots of them seem so ridiculous and basic instead of today's insanely elaborate stories (which I also quite like). IMO the 80and early 90s were the best time to be a kid.

w00t!

 

Couldn't agree more. This feature of the Sega and Nintendo back catalogues is great. Maybe we could see some even more retro games added to the list? Bring on some Amiga goodness

 

I think i'm gonna love the rev with new metroid prime that has new controls could potentially replace halo. YAY
