wow dude. Wow.

one of the best 16 bitters ever.
beautiful

broken link... what is it?

shinobi 3!!!

nice! The original with Godzilla, etc?

yes, the one with mecha godzilla :)
I think normal godzilla /batman /spiderman & hulk were in shinobi 2

this one:
it looks so damn good

oh yeah yr right now that I thikn about it. It's Return Of Shinobi that has all the licensed characters huh?

exactly.
I only remmeber mecha godzilla in shinobi 3.
maybe they overdone it a little bit in revenge of shinobi hrhrhr

yeah they got in big trouble, had to re-draw most of the sprites in Revenge.

yes, batman just looks like a strange fucked up bat. hahaha

I put my car recently into winter sleep and I am finding myself on youtube looking to vids where I can listen to the engine sound...oh man :)
but it sounds just too good!
Ive always got childhood flashback listening to it. its funny cause my father used to drive me around as a baby when I was sick and couldnt get to sleep.

What is pretty confusing is the naming convention. In Japan, the title of Shibobi 3 is "The Super Shinobi II", clearly implying that is the sequel to the Genesis/Mega Drive game, and that the gameplay should be different from the arcade titles (I'm assuming they are considered separate series. However, the Western releases deemed it "Shinobi 3". So which was "Shinobi 2"? Revenge of Shinobi? Shadow Dancer? Or perhaps the atrocious Cyber Shinobi? No one really knows for sure... Strangely, there was later a saturn shinobi that is FUCKING AWESOME -- it's just called Shinobi. THere are like 5 COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GAMES called Shinobi, that are all fucking awesome. I never played the ps2 one, though I played the sequel, Nightshade, which was quite cool!

YUZO KOSHIRO- -my favorite video game composer of all time -- did the music for the Shinobis. The only game he created (as well as doing the music to) was Beyond Oasis, by far my favorite game on the Genesis, and in my opinion, the best 16-bit game ever (aside from tetris attack, super metroid, and yoshi's island). Check it out. Imagine Landstalker meets Streets of Rage 3.

Anyway, SHINOBI 3:


This boss fight is a lot like a level in Alien Soldier and a level in Contra Hard Corps (not surprising, since the Konami team who made the best Contra Game -- Hard Corps -- defected and formed Treasure).




What a great game.

Oh shit, it's MECHA GODZILLA


vs
GODZILLA


!!!!!!!!!


I love the Shinobi games, but the last boss on Revenge of Shinobi (with the hair) is nearly impossible ,and the ending is horrible.

hey adam, i got you on slsk, can browse your files. did you get my messages or is that not working or were you just busy or something? just to check cos its too awkward to talk on here.

I'm not on right now, i was on earlier but my mom reset my computer at 1 pm, will probably turn it back on in the morning to get some more rare dead c off of derek

ok, prob be asleep by then. talk to you sometime anyway

When you get a chance, listen to the residents - god in three persons. It has become my favorite residents album. I am guessing it's all a true story... the vocals are hickish spoken word, and the music is AMAZING... like all thier stuff, it's truly alien, in a way, but still completely musical... beautiful "wrong" notes, amazing synth timbres.. somehow strange yet familiar

will do

btw really excited about the script man. should be done sooner than expected

derek, on slsk, is DerekMcA, I think, he quit this board because he doesn't really get anything from it.

dont blame him.

he got rid of his fb aswell.

he's learnin. smart guy.

He's on facebook. I talked to him on there earlier.

come on slsk

I always assumed Shadow Dancer was outside of the main series. I don't know. It "seemed" different.

thanks for showing off some shinobi action asp.
you kinda mentioned everything I was too lazy for last night, hahaha

btw I played beyond oasis (story of thor in europe) like a mad kid back in the days. I put it into my MD recently and I must say it aged pretty well. great game, and indeed really cool OST.

lately I wanted to praise, and I mean to fucking praise(!!!)
MASAFUMI TAKADA again.
I have to say he is (at least for me) the best Video game Composer of all time, and one of my favourite composer ever.
he just writes beautiful tunes which almost ever contrast all the games in which they are featured in a strange but anhancing way.
like I said shining soul 2 is on heavy rotation since a week now (again). and if it wouldnt have that awesome music, then the game wouldnt be half as good. not to mention killer7, samurai champloo, contact, no more heroes, god hand, RE chronicles etc.
he is the true rockstar at grasshopper games. even the OST for Blood+ One night kiss is so fucking awesome I could cry. Plus he sports it the punkish way in creating his music (hence a interview I ve read and send to you at sonic park)
takada for (musical) president:

I want a Wii so badly. It's the sole reason I'm even looking for a job right now. I can't wait to get my hands on Super Mario Galaxy, No More Heroes, etc. (way too many to list)

Are the specs any different for the black wii at all?

nope same thing Joe.

New Super Mario Bros Wii is amazing. You'll love that one for sure.

It's funny, everyone bitches about the Wii not having any "real games" or whatever... but I can honestly think of at least 15+ games that I'd like to buy for it - and only 3 for 360 (dead space, dead rising 2, bionic commando), and 1 for the PS3 (little big planet).

Oh, and I'm about to take off to go mail your cash. So, feel free to send my cord whenever.

yeah same here. I opted for Wii, mostly cuz I could list a ton of games that interested me, and so could my wife.

360 at least is flooded with Shmups, so I could get into that.

PS3 has 3D Dot Hero. And um... it costs more money than the other consoles.

ps, I'll be mailing out yr chord Saturday morning -- the only day I can ever get to the PO.

Alrighty.

Anyway, here are the Wii games I can think of that I'm interested in...

All opinions on any title are welcome - and yes, I've heard that Other M sucks... I'd still like to give it a shot either way. I heard that you don't have to actually hunt down suit upgrades - rather they're just given to you at points of the game where they're needed. Is that true?

Anyway...

Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario Galaxy 2
No More Heroes
No More Heroes 2
Madworld
Okami
Wario Land: Shake It!
A Boy & His Blob
NEW Super Mario Bros
Kirby's Epic Yarn
Donkey Kong Country Returns
House of the Dead 2 + 3
House of the Dead Overkill
Super Smash Bros Brawl
Zelda Twilight Princess
Metroid: Other M
Goldeneye
Sin and Punishment: Star Successor
Trauma Team
NBA Jam
Mario Kart Wii
Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles / I can't believe Wii didn't get RE5!

Other M sucks.

You DO NOT want Twilight Princess on Wii. You want it for GCN. The Wii controls are terrible. Don't do it!

add:

Ultimate Shooting Collection (Radirgy, Chaos Field, and another I forget the title of)

Castle Of Shikigami III

Yes, but why does it suck? I want specifics.

D = 3

^^exactly!!!
I was telling everbody exactly the same when twilight princess was released and that I would prefer it on the GC. but everybody was so hyped by the groundbreaking new controls...which were just annoying at zelda

btw when will you mail out my genesis pack? I will mail out your (small) gba pack on tomorrow afternoon. so a lil bit time if you need any changes

D = 3???

no changes necessary -- I should get yrs out Saturday morning al. :)

3D. Learn yr ass some math kid.

My worst subject. Numbers are for suckers.

suckers like a fox!

Subtract New mario bros. It's tired bullshit. Almost every level can be beat by holding down right and occasianally jumping. Terrible design and fucking flat out boring.

Keepers: Galaxys, sin and punishment, okami, madworld, no more heroes.

it's not boring Joe. If you like 2D Mario games you'll enjoy it.

ah no. definately enjoyable. especially SML 2
