Gamest preview:
You might want to double check how Warrior is spelled before releasing your game lads
Ken also being written as 拳 (fist) instead of ケン
Ryu is written as 隆, Long in Chinese Pinyin, implying the Sheng Long / Sho'ryu' mix up caused issues in other languages long before EGM in 1992😉

Same. Only played a couple of hours of 4 as it came with my X360. Never played or even watched 5. I believe there's a 6th one now. Couldn't tell you a thing about it

so it's a literal impossibility to get into 1st place in a 12 car race on the 1st lap but likewise, if you know how to drive the wrong way around at the start of certain courses, irl you would be much further behind than normal when you're going the correct way but in-game the cpu's will have slowed

I'm just playing on PS4. I've not seen any of the Jp players mention any issues. Do you hav any other info?
The CPU both cheats & doesn't at the same time. It's structured so that with proper driving you can always win but the cpu cars will be spread out across the course....

The top row was just as I was very young but they're probably still fun
Chocobo's experience. I'd wanted to try Torneko on SFC but no danger was I spending £70+ on a game & genre I knew nothing about when I was still at school. A few years later I could read more Jp & had money, so bought Chocobo

it didn't do particularly well on location test & it's really easy. Arcades were wanting fighting games as they made way more money & putting it out on 32bit consoles which were over a year away from launch, when it was deemed a 'failed' game, wasn't really how Taito wanted to start a new era

I thought we were talking beat em ups? You need to plan your magic uses in advance with Sol Divide, making it a Tactical SRPG. Possibly a visual novel too due to all the text reading but def not a beat em up as there's not enough shooting

Neo Geo Freak & Weekly Famitsu got them too but they're less busty. Chang has a very round head though, which might count for something

well you spend most of your time hitting things😉
And the modern game trailer is about as much of a beat em up as I am a gigantic talking skyscraper on the moon (fyi, I am not that), despite it's claim that it's a beat em up

RR1 (&2) don't have FFB. Rave Racer sort of did but it was turned off by default & barely worked correctly when it was on
So the port's accurate but could be improved if Hamster were able / willing to add in their own form of good FFB

Rave Racer - Ridge Racer Long - Race Mode

I've uploaded a bunch of Rave Racer victories on various courses & modes today for anyone who wants some hot tunes & sub-par driving. If nothing else they at least show that you don't need ultimate driving skillz to place 1st on the harder courses

it is impossible to play KoF97 for more than 2mins without the game glitching, breaking or bugging out in some way, so this behaviour is in fact considered normal🤔

Surely if people wanted to play a fantasy themed beat em up they could just play Psikyo's amazing Dragon Blaze.
Why bother with anything less?

the search which had random VIC20 games but not The Super Shinobi for some reason, only the deviant, foreign & wrong Revenge of Shinobi instead. Very strange. And no Gaiden either🤔

it might be but still, I've played it in mame before & never had any obvious wonkiness. Granted I was just playing with digital controls on a keyboard but I was still able to 1cc it & never found myself randomly flying into walls for no reason or w/e, so idk for sure

been playing Rave since 95 & have never seen or heard anything like this before. RR2 hugely locks you in when you drift. Rave hugely toned it down but added slipstreaming & less car bumping physics, so getting past AI cars is generally easier & in your favour

I've never seen the Egg stuff so idk exactly what sort of things they include but it would def be cool to see more of. I guess there's an aspect of having stuff for the devs / representatives to discuss on stream or just that the OG brands don't want everything to be in the public domain?

Imagine a multiplayer fps but the game forgot to give you any guns & it lasts longer than a Compile shmup😴
