Street Fighter II has the total package of World Warrior, Champion Edition and Hyper Fighting.

Also, I wonder why they took out the bonus stage with the oil drums on fire for the Super Nintendo version of World Warrior as well as the entirety of Champion Edition, Hyper Fighting, Super SFII and Super SFII Turbo.

I'm talking about sprites.

There are 6 oil drums, which, by the way the SNES handles sprites of that size, they would have needed to use several sprites for each drum... plus the fire. That's why it was changed to a similar working one with a brick wall made of a background layer.

Why do we give so much credit to directors of games? A whole team made Metal Gear, programming the levels, enemy encounters, writing the scenarios yet people attribute everything to Kojima. Why are the others' contribution forgotten?

It's not as bad as people claim. This box art actually tells you more about the game since you get to see the hero and he's got the sword as well. The Japanese/European box art is very artsy and pretty but it doesn't tell you anything about the game.

Whats better, RE2 or RE3?

Sorry to say this anon, but the only reason why you care so much about A/B scenarios is because you're an easily impressed midwit conditioned to accept that more "scenarios" add replay value even if you're imprisioned in the design the game forces to play through. Resident Evil 3, with its multiple choices and variations offer far more freedom and diversity both from a narrative and gameplay perspective. Much like Resident Evil 1, stripping the linearity of progression engages the player into exploring and discovering things (such as the Mikhail grenade scene at the cable train) which are remarkably rewarding.

>>11064451
We can thank Aoyama (the director of RE3 and the creator of 4th Survivor) and Kawamura (the writter who greatly expanded on Iwao's concepts and ideas) for it.

>>11067569
I feel that. And unlike Resident Evil 2, where the whole police station or laboratories just felt like sterile locations, Resident Evil 3 files scattered through the city of survivors detailing their efforts to try and escape the nightmafe add a lot life to your adventure. It really felt like Raccoon City was the main character with Jill as this formidable protagonist pitted against all odds.

You're right, because 4 has better puzzles and you're likelier to run out of ammo in that one.

I'm all for smaller artists and original music in the GTA games but apart from some of the pop tunes LCS just didn't have what I wanted. I guess Big Pun was a cool inclusion on the hiphop station but for me GTA3 had a far better selection of music.

Plus this is the best theme for any GTA game.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzH7h465MMM
Perfectly captures the chaos and hustle and bustle of the big city, all the disparate elements in carefully set up stereo audio coming together framing the comic panel crime and drama of the city in a mundane and chill song that feels like just another day in Liberty City.

Not to get too sidetracked or imply anything about yourself, but GTA3 still seems to be the most misunderstood game in the series. Something that the scarface-lite or the life-sim gangster management games could never really grasp.
>>
>>11067916
>GTA3 still seems to be the most misunderstood game in the series
I agree, I think it's the best GTA for causing mayhem around the city, and that's what GTA is fundamentally about

I also agree with what you said about GTA3's music selection being better than LCS's, its main problem is that there are few songs and they sound similar, but I still like them, same for GTA 1 and 2 radios

>>11067742
I agree, I really liked LCS radio. Found myself really enjoying a few stations, even Rush though I don't normally go for dance music. The mixes were fun.
Head had some good indie songs too. It did really feel like it was from 1998.

Vice City Stories is a damn good game. It's got Phil Colins, it's got better shooting, it's got a proper ending, it's got a more personal story, and it's got the empire-building. It's more than a portable Vice City, it's better.

It blows the "Great Kanto War" bullshit out of the water, because it means that Lt. Surge was literally just suppose to be a Vietnam/Desert Storm vet. Vermilion City is an analog to Yokohama, which has an American military base.

The guides entry explicitly notes that their population is very small and that it's larval stage is shrouded in mystery. It's even put in an entirely different grouping of Pokémon from Venonat. The idea is that you either put 2 and 2 together once you've caught both or realize the truth if you keep leveling up your Venonant. They don't evolve until Lv 31; WAY later than any other Bug type in Gen 1. Their Japanese names are even unrelated: Kongpang and Morphon. The disparity in their designs is on purpose.

https://lavacutcontent.com/1996-creatures-pokedex-translation-1/

I do want to go back in the archives and find the posts made by the guy on here before DYKG picked up on the story. It's just funny to me that this very common guide wasn't translated until nearly 25 years later. It makes you wonder what other video theories or "facts" that Westerns believe about older games that are very wrong.

Interestingly, Black2/White2 lampshades this by the PWT announcer asking if Lt Surge is from Unova when he takes the field, but it's never actually answered and Surge's next appearance in Let's Go just calls him "The Lightning Lieutenant" to avoid the America/Unova debate.

>>11068883
Yep; they even changed all Pokedex references to Indian elephants to the new Elephant Pokemon from Sword and Shield. Pokemon is NOW set in a 100% fictional world, but back when it was just a little RPG on the GameBoy with no prospects of being a multi-billion dollar franchise, it was just "Tokyo and it's surrounding Prefectures in Japan, but with a few wacky monsters".

Are you excited for RetroAchievement support for GameCube coming soon? What’s the first GameCube game you’re going to cheevo hunt on? When are finally getting RA support for C64, speccy, and Amiga? I know they said C64 was medium-close due to bizhawk exposing the memory, not sure about the other two. I think Amiga is far and DOS is the farthest out.

I was a college student who was really excited for KOF94, and found a good deal on a system + game. Then stumbled upon an excellent deal at a pawn shop.
I don't remember the circumstances, but I also came upon a nice deal on the CD w/games. So I actually had two AES systems + CD.

But yeah, shit was expensive. I think I only ever bought 3 games brand new.
