I get so few VC games now to care about the price, in a world where Nintendo was more competent about their online infrastructure , accounts, and other things maybe I would care, otherwise I'll just end up getting advance wars and superstar saga at some point and not thinking about vc stuff again for another few months to a year. With the TLOU stuff its both unsurprising that it got a remaster and I dont particularly care about TLOU anyways, I also fully expect GTAV to be coming soonish and some other stuff, thats just how it is in the first year of new consoles, especially more so now thats its so costly to make games.

 

[MikeMyers]

I don't have much backlog. Then again, I rarely buy games.

In other news, checked tumblr and the first thing I see is:

 

[TheChits]

TLoU getting an upgrade has given me another ding for the PS4 in my get a PS4 or get a PS3 decision.

Persona 5 on ps3.

 

[Raxus]

The Last of Us more like yeah okay that was cool

I dunno, I wasn't blown away or anything but it wasn't bad or nothing

I love the game to pieces but I can understand why people weren't so hot on it. Especially with other great games this generation that put their hat on great gameplay. Like Super Mario Galaxy (

Spoiler

I WILL PLAY YOU SOME DAY SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP! STOP TAUNTING ME! SAME GOES FOR YOU SUPER MARIO 3D WORLD.

)

 

[Dr.Palutena]

Persona 5 on ps3.

only a matter of time until

Spoiler

vita

remaster

 

[Seda]

I have yet to play Super Metroid. And EarthBound

I have a Wii U.

Both are on Wii U right?

 

[MikeMyers]

Looking at my PS3 games now. Most of my backlog (Batman Arkham City, Infamous, Naruto Generations, etc.) are mostly just stuff I got for free as gifts.

 

[Dr.Palutena]

I bought earthbound, and still havent gotten far in it. I have too much games to even think or count vc and steam stuff.

 

[Man God]

Correct.

You haven't played SMG yet!? D:

 

[Man God]

You haven't played SMG2 yet?

 

[TheChits]

I have yet to play Super Metroid.

I wholeheartedly recommend it! Perhaps my favorite game of all time. Super Mario Galaxy is also in my top five for sure

alternative response:

 

[BassForever]

SMG1 was better then SMG2

Both are fantastic and everyone should play them

 

[BatDan]

SMG1 was better then SMG2

Both are fantastic and everyone should play them

I would adore HD versions for Wii U. i have played them, but they're worth replaying.
Along with HD Metroid Prime Trilogy (but not Other M, fuck that noise).

 

[Seda]

I wholeheartedly recommend it! Perhaps my favorite game of all time. Super Mario Galaxy is also in my top five for sure

alternative response:

I love the Prime games and I know I'd probably love Super Metroid, I just never got around to it.

 

[BassForever]

Seda stop whatever it is you're doing and go play Super Metroid

Don't bother with Earthbound it's really over rated

 

[Man God]

Bother with Earthbound, it's rather properly rated.

 

[TheChits]

Bother with Earthbound, it's rather properly rated.

Agreed.

 

[mightynine]

I loved Super Metroid but I leaned heavily on the maps in Nintendo Power back in the day to finish it. For that reason, I'm now a little hesitant to go back to it.

Dragonball gif

 

[UltraGunner]

I have Earthbound on like 5 different devices and I've yet to get past the first boss =/

 

[MikeMyers]

Funny thing is, it's from Episode 69.

 

[Man God]

This is it people, the final year, the final season, the final opening of the original Naruto.


This is my second favorite Naruto opening, and it's the best opening to a "filler" season of any show.

Here is the ending that goes along with it, also a very good one.

[Tenumi]

Wow... lol.

As soon as I get off my lazy butt and get things around I'm planning on continuing my Dragonball series run-through. I believe I stopped at episode 19 of Dragonball... I might as well start over since its been so long.

 

[Man God]

MikeMyers Sakura Fact of the Day:

Sakura does more physically in the first opening "R★O★C★K★S" than she does the rest of the run of original Naruto.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

I'd buy TLoU for $60 on PS4, never got to play the PS3 version and it'll include the DLC. Seems like a fair deal to me.

 

[Man God]

It also fills a gap in an otherwise lackluster PS4 lineup so far. They probably should give it a slight discount to 50 though.

 

[MikeMyers]

Heh I went on tumblr on my college campus library and that was the first thing that came out.

Websites not to browse on while in public: ToonamiGAF Tumblr.

As for the show, I like it a lot until Piccolo shows up. The Daimao stuff felt too similar to Mercenary Tao and its not my favorite mostly due to the lack of humor. 23rd Budokai felt too predictable, but the fights were fun. Those two arcs seem to be popular with other people though.

RRA arc you might need to switch to manga if it drags for you. Daimao arc I thought was more enjoyable in the 'toon as it gave Yajirobe, Yamcha, and Tien more to do.

MikeMyers Sakura Fact of the Day:

Sakura does more physically in the first opening "R★O★C★K★S" than she does the rest of the run of original Naruto.

Heh, I was actually going to do Top 5 Ino fight but upon reading Sakura VS Ino in the comic again, I was curious to see how matches Sakura had after that. So I went and researched it and came up with that.

 

[Man God]

While I love Mercenary Tao as a character I'm not actually that big of a fan of those episodes. Also not the biggest fan of Demon King Piccolo arc.

 

[MikeMyers]

Tao:
1.) Beats Goku up
2.) Goku's barely survives
3.) Goku goes up Korin Tower
4.) Goku gets stronger
5.) Goku comes down and beats villain.

Daimao:
1.) Beats Goku up
2.) Goku's barely survives
3.) Goku goes up Korin Tower
4.) Goku gets stronger
5.) Goku comes down and beats villain.

Granted, the series in general is pretty repetitive and I don't really mind that anime that seem to do that, but this was WAY too close to paint-by-the-numbers for me.

 

[bigkrev]

Looks like we are getting a budget Bluray of Deadman Wonderland this summerif Amazon Canada is to be trusted

Meanwhile, Aniplex USA is putting out the 90 minute Persona movie as a bare bones disc for 70 dollars at around the same time.

 

[Levyne]

Now the cases are also in widescreen

 

[Seda]

Good job with the aspect ratio on the box art there.

 

[bigkrev]

It's also not on Amazon's US site, but Funi tweeted about it

 

[Levyne]

I WILL BE YOUR DEADMANNNNNn

 

[BassForever]

Cool been wanting to get the DMWL series on DVD or Blu Ray but couldn't justify the $50 price I had seen at the time for only 12 episodes

 

[UltraGunner]

That series is so "Edgy Teen" I'm surprised that the home release didn't come with a studded belt and a chain for your wallet.

 

[Dr.Palutena]

that's the best box ever

 

[Tenumi]

Nah, just have it come with some blood. "Here kids, throw it around and pretend you're Ganta".

Also, how do disks fit in a case that width?

 

[Man God]

First thing I do when I finish watching Naruto is finishing Casshern in one long ass marathon.

Second thing I do is watch Deadman Wonderland. Third thing I do is recap every single episode of bleach filler...wait no, not that.


Then all that would be left is Samurai Seven and GXP.

 

[MikeMyers]

Why is anime so expensive? I've seen series that are like 13 episodes for like $80.

 

[Man God]

When I was a young lad, MM, your typical VHS release was 2-4 episodes at 40 bucks a pop. Movies were sometimes closer to 60.

I know someone who had all of DBZ Uncut on VHS up until the cell games. The only cool part about it was that some of the Trunks era VHS's came out two months before it aired on TOONAMI and some came with exclusive cards for the CCG.

 

[MikeMyers]

Yeah, I remember the VHS days of buying the entire Ocean Dub Saiyan Arc for $99. Well, begging parents for it constantly.

Then again, I saw the ROCK THE DRAGON set at Best Buy for $100. So I guess things haven't changed.

Fun Fact: I have a shit-ton episode of Inuyasha/Case Closed episodes recorded off Adult Swim somewhere.

 

[Man God]

Funimations VHS releases were a bargain at 4 episodes for around 25 bucks a pop.

 

[bigkrev]

The show will probably loose something without the bleeps though. Man, remember in the second episode when that prisoner went up to G and told her "One day, I'm gonna (3 SECOND LONG BLEEP)"? That was the hardest i've ever laughed

My experience was in the days of spending ~$30 for each disc of Bebop, Champloo and FLCL in their original runs - from Babbage's (of all places) if I'm not mistaken.

I understand why they are doing this though - there's people who will buy it, and they'll make their money off 'em.

 

[UltraGunner]

Blame Aniplex and their import releases. Funimation usually release their Blu Rays for half as much as Aniplex.

This is part of the reason I'm so excited for Black Lagoon on Toonami. Some of the episodes are going to be bleeping spectacles.

 

[MikeMyers]

Also I remember seeing Digimon Season 1 on DVD (No Bluray) at a store for like $70. Although I was more amused that my local 7-11 has that.

I used to record the 4kids One Piece dub onto VHS types Saturday mornings in 2003
