  1. Unpopular and Controversial Opinions, Volume 10:

    -SNES Yoshi's Island > SMA3 Yoshi's Island, Yoshi's Island DS, and Yoshi's New Island. (I'm still kind of irked that Nintendo and Artoon never included the SNES original's button layout in the latter's options. The same goes for Super Princess Peach, Yoshi's Wooly World, Yoshi's Crafty World, Kirby Squeak Squad, Kirby Super Star Ultra, Kirby Triple Deluxe, Kirby Planet Robobot, Kirby's Blowout Blast, and the last two Mario Kart games.)

    -Sunsoft needs to re-release the original Clock Tower, along with SOS/Septentrion.

    -The best version of Earthworm Jim 2 is the Super NES version, closely followed by the Genesis/MD version.

    -Tri-Ace should have ported the first two Valkyrie Profile games to the 3DS.

    -Radiata Stories felt like it belonged on the GameCube or the Wii than the PS2.

    -Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow = What Metal Gear Solid 2 should have been.

    -1996-2001 was the Dark Age of American Music.

    -Speaking of the Super NES and Genesis, Sega and Nintendo should have found better games to end their respective systems on. (In all fairness, the Super Famicom got a director's cut of Metal Slater Glory; and the PAL Mega Drive ended with The Lost World: Jurassic Park.)

    -Trey Parker and Matt Stone should have ended South Park in 2007.

    -Hal Labs needs to do more than Kirby Sequels, and I'm glad that Part-Time UFO was made.

      Update time: Sunsoft, Wayforward, and even Capcom have greenlit a hi-def remake of Clock Tower.

  2. RIP prop comedian Gallagher.

    There goes another one of my favorite comedians.

    1. GameGirl420

      GameGirl420

      that sucks! I spoke to him briefly back in 2016 so this is a shock.

    2. SlidellMan

      This isn't helped with the death of Batman: The Animated Series' Kevin Conroy.

  3. A pair of MSX Turbo R Games:

    Moonlight Saga by Maple Yard.

    Illusion City by Micro Cabin.

  4. I thought that this would help with anyone wanting to use RMT or Furnace Tracker for Sound Effects.

  5. The Basement Brothers cover Neo Geo Games:

    I still look forward to his Xak III video.

  6. The Critical Drinker on Nobody:

    This may be the first good Christopher Lloyd film in who knows how long.

    1. thanatos

      thanatos

      Fantastic movie!

      Main difference from John Wick, technically the nobody instigated it first.

  7. Tales of Famitracker:

    Will you take up the cross with Cless Alvein and friends?

  8. Even more Rosen Maiden, desu.

    It's a shame that Rewind/Zurückʃpulen flopped, primarily due to its first episode.

  9. Tech Tangent installs FreeDOS on a 5150 IBM.

      SlidellMan

      I am glad that FreeDOS and React OS exist.

  10. The Sword of Etheria/Over Zenith:

    This can be best summarized as The Wizard of Oz meets Devil May Cry.

  11. It was high time that someone remixed that song.

  12. Riz-Zoawd/The Wizard of Oz: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road:

    I will say this: Using the DS touch screen as a trackball was something better suited for Marble Madness. On the other hand, I do like the art direction this game has.

      For those who are retching and gagging with that remake, maybe Media Vision's take on L Frank Baum's book will wash that bad taste out.

    2. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      Jeez!  A CIB of that game goes for more than my SNES cart (CIB :) !

    3. SlidellMan

      SlidellMan

      @GoldLeader I never seen a copy of that for sale anywhere, not even in 2nd & Charles. In all honesty, Media Vision should give the series and its characters another chance. If only we got American McGee's OZ, because he knows about the other Oz books that L. Frank Baum and Jack Snow wrote.

  13. Jac Mac and Rad Boy:

    Enjoy this Wes Archer classic.

  14. I know that it has been twenty years since Chuck Jones and Ward Kimball have passed on; and thirty-five years for Milt Kahl. Neither one of them would ever be allowed to work in film and animation today. (Ditto for Walt Kelly, Dayton Allen, Douglas Moye, and Tom Morrison.)

  15. We got all on UHF!

    Still great 33 years later! They don't make parody movies and screwball comedies like they used to.

      And my all-time favorite part of UHF:

       

  16. Unpopular and Controversial opinions, Volume 9:

    -'87-'02 Rap and Hip-hop > the Rap and Hip-Hop acts of the past fifteen years.

    -2003 was the last good year for Michael Jackson's music.

    -James Cameron's last good movie was True Lies.

    -Men In Black III should never have been made, ditto for MIB International.

    -Capcom should have kept Resident Evil 8 in Louisiana.

    -Isao Takahata was Studio Ghibli's best director despite not being a draftsman or animator.

    -Mel McMurrin should be in more game projects.

    -Nintendo should have made the USB Gamecube controller adapter compatible with N64 Virtual Console/Switch Expansion Pack and any Wii game that supported the GC controller.

    -Madonna needs to quit making music.

    -Weird Al's music is still great to this very day.

     

    And for the bad news: My dad found out that he has cancer.

    1. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      Sorry about your father...Sending Good Vibes,.  Hopefully it works out all right!    PS  I enjoy your opinions.

    2. SlidellMan

      SlidellMan

      Thanks, @GoldLeader, but we just found out that it is stage four.

  17. I would have thrown Earthbound on this list as well, but still a great play list.

  18. For those who have been keeping up with it, the Commander X16 is nearing completion:

     

  19. Super NES Obscurities Volume 2.

    Metal Morph, AKA the worst game from Origin Systems:

    At least it has excellent music.

    Eternal Filena:

     

  20. DoveZ: The Second Wave

    I still have the one-level demo of this game, and have to say that this is worth buying off of Steam, GOG, etc.

    1. SlidellMan

      SlidellMan

      Update: here's the official site, and DoveZ is free: http://www.intergenies.com/

      Be sure to play the original Dove as well.

  21. Time to get...SERIOUS!!!

     

    If only CroTeam made another Serious Sam game that takes place after the Second game.

    1. SlidellMan

      SlidellMan

      An extended version:

       

  22. Why do I get the feeling that Deadly Premonition and its sequel are going to age like wine, whereas Postal 4; No Regerts and the pointless Last of Us remake will age like milk?

  23. A dose of Farley:

    Enjoy!

      Atarian7

      That's one of my favorite skits on the show.  Not just that one but all of them.

       

       

  24. Looks like I'm not the only person who thought that Battle Across Time is what the True Finale of the Terminator should have been.

  25. I don't know if anybody here remembers Red Faction, but here's an indie game that has its destructible terrain:
