who gives a shit
oof
>>720152553F
>>720152553rip o7
>>720154208I do
>>720152553Why are japs dying so young these days? Outside of your Koichi Sugiyama's it feels like all the gaming icons are dying in their 60s
>>720152553Wow, RIP. Aporia has been one of my favorite boss battle themes for years, now. Gimmick was an OK game carried hard by the presentation, but this guy really did help make the experience.
>>720154208Retard rushing to the first post. No creativity. No cleverness. No substance. You do not belong here
>>720152553You now remember Gimmick 2.
>>720156128is it good?
>>720156890Nope. If it's a western-made sequel or remake to a japanese made game, avoid at all costs.
>>720156890Maybe it is, but it definitely does not look like a good Gimmick sequel.
>>720152553>following a battle with stomach cancerDamn, maybe that explains why there's been a surge in Sunsoft releasing their old games. Maybe they knew he had limited time left and wanted to put out their catalog one more time to show what an impact his music had.
>>720155807A slow and steady transition from traditional Japanese food to western-style food and junk food has been destroying the health of the once healthy Nipponese people. It's sad to watch.
>>720158565I think it's more to do with rampant smoking culture in the 80s-90s
>>720160026Smoking gives you super powers and lets you live forever. I think it's the burgers.
>>720152553Good game, with excellent music (at least on the japanese original).RIP.
