What went wrong?
>>
I think it was due to financial problems with their pin-ball machines despite being good quality, they also apparently had a lawsuit with capcom as Capcom argued that Data East's arcade game Fighter's History unlawfully copied from their own fighting game Street Fighter II. There was apparently another lawsuit with the company that made money puzzle exchange/ money puzzle exchanger as the game was extremely similar to magical drop which was made by data east.

What a bunch of dicks

Data East was the best bad developer. I can't think of anyone else who made such endearing junk as Trio the Punch and Tattoo Assassins.

It's funny how all the GoH games are in English now yet Shitendo is squatting the IP because nobody played the mediocre DS reboot.
If you like the Last Bible series and the DQ Zenithian Trilogy, Glory of Heracles is for you. avoid the first game though, it's shit.

The world wasn't ready for Karnov.

For every one of those titles they put out a big ol' junkburger like Bad Dudes, Crude Buster, Karnov, Karate Champ, and Ring King. They shoveled out plenty of slop.
>>
>>12127636
All of those are still competent games, nigger like jarpigs ffs know your fucking place
>>
>>12127650
No one has ever once enjoyed playing Karate Champ.
>>
>>12126774
I don't think you can really describe any of the prominent japanese arcade manufacturers from back then as bad, too big a gulf between them and actually terrible shovelware.
>>
>>12127659
Say that to its absolute commercial success and influence in the genre. Besides it's not even developed by Data East your retarded jarpig enjoyer

Shovelware developers inevitably go bankrupt.
It's not exactly hard to understand.

Sorry guys. I guess SF2 is a little too advanced for you. Maybe try Urban Champion and work your way up to it.

I like Windjammers

For 1984 standards it was awesome, and even by today's standards I don't consider it a bad game

That's a game that references Chelnov

The left the industry to become a regular ass tech company and died after the dot com bubble burst.

Western company desperately LARPing as a Japanese arcade developer.
>b-but
I’m exhausted by the blatant misinformation. Data East is western as fuck and the quality of their games reflects this.
They tried so hard to pretend to be Japanese so they could avoid criticism because “oooh if this Japanese arcade game is bad it’s just because we don’t understand it…yes yes data east can do no wrong…honorable Japanese developer…”
It’s an embarrassing notion and I’m glad these whiteys got BTFO of the market as hard as they did.

Should have brought Metal Max to the west dur8ng the snes era

Er, 1984
It's fucking late, I should be asleep but I'm shitposting instead.

Point is, you're basically comparing early SNES to late Atari 2600 era games, fag.

I don't know, their Fighter History port for the Snes was way better than SFII.

>>12128517
It's called desert chrome, thats why the bottom is colored gold like sand reflecting onto chrome. It was a very common style during that time.
