Re: What are you playing?

I'm revisiting Dragon's Crown. I love absolutely everything about this game, it is just beautiful and really fun to play. Hell, I bought my PS3 when this game came out just so I could play it. I know Vanillaware doesn't do sequels but I keep hoping for more of the same with this game.

Re: Why is everyone selling everything right now?

I'm buying too. I've had a few retro collections in the past that I ultimately sold off but I've decided to proceed with a different perspective this time. Before I would just grab anything that was available and affordable for me and I ended up with a large portion of my games collection being full...

The Great Battle Cyber looks like an interesting one as well.

Re: PSN ID Thread Updated 7/9/12

My PSN is Octopod_999 if anyone wants to add me. The PS4 is a SoulsBorne and Youtube/Netflix/Hulu machine for me but I also have Godzilla, Odin Sphere and a really bad Battlefront addiction. It would be nice to receive messages from time to time that aren't homophobic slurs from mad Battlefront play...

Re: Have you given up on buying SNES?/Cheap SFC recommendati

The Great Battle series has a lot of cool games in it. May favorite is IV because it's an action platformer (I wrote a bit about it here actually: http://www.racketboy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?nomobile=1&f=32&t=46972). V is a parody of Wild Guns of all things. III is an excellent beat'em up ...

Re: How's your NES gaming going? What's your NES library lik

What about Getsu Fuuma Den? I just got this recently and only put it in to test but it seems pretty cool. I'll probably pick up Namcot Star Wars as well. I used to have Binary Land and I think that is worth getting for cheap. I also have the Great Battle series sumo wrestling game(forget what it is ...

Re: Wii-U thoughts so far

NOA is a marketing and localisation firm basically, isn't it? I'm sure NCL decides what comes over and what doesn't.

Re: Amiibo!!

I missed my Lucario since that was the only figure TRU had in and I wasn't going to make the hour and twenty minute round trip drive just to grab one. Then I missed my Shulk because I've had the flu and now pneumonia and couldn't make it to pick him up. I don't think I even care as long as I get my ...
