Best TMNT game?
For me, it’s the obvious Turtles in Time, but I liked TMNT 3 on the Gameboy as well. Felt like a shittier Metroid 2

Arcade, megadrive and supernes all equal.
I am glad I wasted 40 euros in that cowabunga collection playing "doubles" was amazing.

Dust off your Thrustmasters and unfold your quick reference keysheets - it's time to talk all things Space Combat.

Games such as:
Wing Commander series
X-Wing Series
I-War
Privateer Series
X Series
Tachyon the Fringe
Freespace Series
Starlancer
Freelancer
Maybe Battlecruiser? I never really managed to get into playing it...

Aiming more for the PC-focused 'Sim' type games, rather than the more console-focused shooters like Rogue Squadron, Incoming etc. I guess you can talk about them too.

Why does Mega Man's music tend to be so generic? As in, every game after Mega Man 1 has a bunch of tracks that fit the general theme of the series, but do not sound like they belong to their assigned stages.

U1 is still great, until it raises the races to be 6+ laps in the second half of the campaign. But aeshtetical cohesion and car control is on point. U2 always felt too slidey (not in a fun drift way either).

I hate how you can't really recover from slides without losing speed once the tires start slipping. And yeah, I remember U1 looking a lot more cohesive and tidy. I guess I need to try replaying that one or Carbon

I agree, every few years I reinstall it on atmosphere basis alone, despite it being objectively worse than the previous games. It does have canyon races though.

The Dreamcast would've done fine if Sega hadn't fucked up the launch of the Saturn and wasted R&D resources on superfluous hardware like the 32X and the Nomad.

They also should have toned down Shenmue's budget.
>>
>>11252671
Sega's entire history is a long list of fuck-ups really; their management was/is all over the place, despite the talented devs they've had. It's a miracle they stuck around so long in the console business in the first place (and a real miracle they survived as a software dev/publisher, albeit in the guise of Sega Sammy unfortunately)

I never played Bomberman. I thought it was all 4 player arcade style action, until I heard there's apparently "Zelda" Bomberman? Which of the games are like this? Also just want to know the best games for single player in this series in general, platform doesn't matter much.

Why did the GameCube sell 10 million less than the N64 despite having such a larger library of games?

>>11252493
i'm pretty sure MM was a hard sell and only happened because "well we did all this work on these OOT assets and engines, we could do another really quickly"
there's no way it would have survived changing consoles
>>
>>11252493
I've always thought Nintendo should have cut the N64 short by 1 year and released GameCube in 2000.

That was the original plan, too. Before "Dolphin", the very first codename of the GCN was N2000, signifying the planned release date.

With a 2000 release date they could migrate a lot of late-era N64 games over to the 'Cube instead. Majora's Mask, Perfect Dark, Banjo Tooie, Mario Party 3 and Conker's Bad Fur Day could have all been launch-year GameCube games. Maybe even Pokemon Stadium 2 as well, although they'd need to release the GameBoy Player alongside it so you could still connect your Gold/Silver/Crystal cartridges to it.
>>
>>11252685
Kind of. It was a hard sell but because Majora’s Mask was originally supposed to be an Ocarina of Time expansion planned to be released on the N64 DD (disc drive) console add on hence why MM seems like bizarro world to OoT/you see reused assets from OoT. The N64 DD absolutely bombed and died almost immediately and it left the team with a partially done OoT and the company asked them to repurpose it into a game but like didn’t give them any additional time to their deadline (bearing in mind that they were originally working on what we’d later identify as a kind of DLC expansion and not an entire game, they were working on a shorter timeframe as a result assuming it was a smaller job). Ultimately that’s what they had to do and they somehow finagled repurposing their project into MM into something totally new. Anyhow, the rest is history. Majora’s Mask was the result of a clusterfuck, the N64 DD bombing. It was rushed, it was stressful, in a lot of ways it was incredibly improvised but someway somehow it gave us as masterpiece.
>>
To my own point though Majora’s Mask would’ve never debut’d as a new game on GameCube. It wasn’t even intended to exist in the first place. Even if the GC gets released a year earlier they’d have made a new Zelda game with more time and able to start from scratch instead of jury rigging an add on for a previous game. It wouldn’t have been Majora’s Mask.
>>
>>11249612
>The N64 sold better because people trusted nintendo following the SNES
And they got burned hard when they realized there was almost no games for it in the beginning. It started hitting its stride with Zelda OoT, but those first two years were miserable and sustained almost exclusively by Mario and Goldeneye.

People will say Gamecube because Link was in it. Heihachi is a terrible guest character, and Namco should've put the main character of Tower of Druaga in instead. Spawn is cool so I'd put the Xbox version as the 2nd best.

I remember getting Chrono Trigger for my 12th birthday. The first ending I got was this one, where Chrono and Marle float away on some balloons romantically embracing one another. I was starting to really notice girls and watching this was downright PAINFUL to me for some reason. My first ever "TFW no GF" moment.
