[Nintendo needs to get out its Wii U games ASAP - sales dropping fast]

Been hearing that Call of Duty:Ghosts might be skipping Wii U also.

[You know you spent too much time in arcades as a kid when...]

When you carry quarters in your pocket instead of dollar bills.

[New Neo Geo X games coming]

You forget that we're the developers dawg! Me and Animan are just two of the AtariAge members making games for the Ouya. What would you like to see?

 

If you guys are developing....then I will keep it. Support the members!!!!

[New Neo Geo X games coming]

It's kinda like the virtual console games on the Nintendo. I was poking around the store on my 3ds the other day and was surprsed to see them wanting $5-$8 for these old games. That's a lot of money for something that was released and made its money so long ago. When you look at the Sega Collections that net you like 40 games for $20.. that seems a lot more reasonable.

 

Agreed on that. I have yet to purchase an old NES game or Game Boy game on the 3ds VC. My thoughts are they should be 2 to 3 bucks a piece.

[New Neo Geo X games coming]

Games I want to see are Windjammers, SVC Chaos, Magical Drop(any), Twinkle Star Sprites (did I just type that??) Neo Turf Masters.

[Neo Geo MVS Cartridge Shell Kickstarter]

But who really has 'broken' mvs shells?

It's vanity that will drive this, and how much vanity is there amogst mvs owners?

Quite a bit, I suppose. I might consider buying some for Metal Slug 3 or Turf Masters...

 

I guess we will find out how much vanity MVS owners have if this kickstarter reaches its goal. if they were cheap enough....I might consider it.

[New Neo Geo X games coming]

Considering they are ROMs on a card, you would think that for $25 they would include more titles.

 

True. I'm guessing each card will only have 3 games a piece plus any updates. I read that the goal is to eventually have every AES game for this handheld and other games not on the AES. Thats gonna be a lot of little cards to keep track of.

 

Now I dont know a thing about storage or megs or anything. Realistically how many games could they fit? Could the entire library fit on one card?

[Xbox 'slim' vs older models (heat and vents)]

I will go a little more in depth on my previous post. Playing games for hours on end with my original ....you could feel the heat not only on the system but also on the disc. Playing my slim for more hours at a time.....less heat from both system and ejected disc. And I am talking some serious hours!!!

[best Sega Saturn emulator for Wii Homebrew channel?]

Go with a Saturn. I picked mine up for 30 bucks in box and got an action replay. All my imports play well.

Cannot wait for some new stuff. Love this little handheld.

[fake nintendo world championships cart on ebay!]

What a straight up dumbass.

[Xbox 'slim' vs older models (heat and vents)]

I have an old model(which got the RRoD). Got it fixed. My wife bought me the slim model when they came out. I play the slim more cuz it does seem to run cooler.

[Neo Geo MVS Cartridge Shell Kickstarter]

One of the people I follow on Twitter brought this to my attention:

 

 

Interesting. Not sure if I would go this way for my MVS games.

[What Xbox 360 game are you currently playing?]

Man I got my copy, but have only played it once, and briefly at that. I tried the tutorial and couldn't even make it past the part where you block 5 times. That's how bad I suck!! Still, if you see me on, and want to try your luck at beating my suckiness, hit me up! LOL

 

In the mean time I've been hitting Tomb Raider hard. I'm about to get the last of the single player achievements. I have a couple of the online ones, not sure if I'm going to go for them all or not.

 

I will hit you up. I got frustrated with the training as well.

[Next gen Xbox revealed May 21]

If the kinect replaces a controller....I'm out. I hate the friggin kinect!!!!

[What Xbox 360 game are you currently playing?]

Injustice got very boring. Playing some Pinball FX now

[Ouya unboxing]

I'm leaning towards cancelling my preorder for this and save the money for a Retron 5. Everything I have read doesnt seem too promising.

[Next gen Xbox revealed May 21]

 

Taskmaster 99, The RRoD is certainly something to consider, and it has crossed my mind. I can't imagine them making the same mistake twice. That was an very expensive lesson I think. It sucked, but I lived through it and as someone who had multiple 360's and multiple returns, I think in the end they did ok handling the situation. It didn't cost me anything in the end, and I even got some free stuff out of the returns. It was a couple years before the true nature of RRoD became apparent. No way am I waiting around to see if history repeats itself. I'll just hope that if some design flaw becomes apparent MS will address it like they did with RRoD. I will admit, they would be doing themselves a big favor if they offered a 3 year warranty on day one of this new consoles release!

 

I agree that they handled it well....but it still put a bad taste in my mouth. True...they learned thier lesson....but who's to say this new console wont have a major malfunction. I know....its electronics and are always prone to failure at some point. I guess if I was to get one at launch I would go through Best Buy and thier black tie warranty. No send off....just back to store...bring home another.

 

Ill make my choice once I see what they bring to the table. Already have a Wii U....but thats turning out to be a big hunk of crap......now its time to decide between Microsoft or Sony. Right now I'm leaning towards PS4.

[Next gen Xbox revealed May 21]

I am pretty excited to see what they are bringing to the table. Will I preorder one? No. not after the red ring of death debacle.

[JJ Games English Repro SNES games]

I just ordered a game from them so I'll see how they fare. Thanks for the heads up that they sell repros

 

They are a good place to deal with. Have gotten alot of my classic stuff from them.
