Since I believe talking about common, or popular games is boring(honestly, what could I write that you haven't already heard or experienced about Mario?) I'm going to share some knowledge I've picked about about retro stuff that you probably didn't know or haven't heard before.
lol Goku? |
Another such titles which personally pisses me off even more than Dragon Failure is the game "Last Battle" for the Sega Genesis. This game is actually a dumbed down version of the ultra cool anime "Fist of the Northstar" Which I fondly remember watching on Cinemax at 4am when I was a kid. I was blown away by how ultra violent and cool this movie was so imagine my glee when I found out there was a video game based off of it. Then my hopes sunk when I picked up a copy and found a douchebag who looked like David Hasselhoff on the cover and all of the great things about the movie were taken out in favor of some lame karate fighting and badly translated dialogue.
Anyway that's my little rant, Opinions about this? I'll be catching up with all my followers today so comments are appreciated :)
Durrrrr |
Lol'd at the Hasselhoff look alike. Not much of a huge anime fan but I do agree with you though

lol, reminds me of Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game. Ken screams stuff like "DRAGON" and "HURRICANE". wtf, haha.
ReplyDeletei would still like to hear about Mario, because well he is awesome.
ReplyDeleteIve seen fist of the northstar and dear god its clockwork orange kind of ultraviolence, but not the game and if aint ultraviolent I will take your word for it.
I do like these reviews of obscure games and hope to see more of them dude

ReplyDeleteI'm trying to decide which is worse-- anime turned into games or games turned into anime.
ReplyDeleteYou're already dead.
ReplyDeleteI fucking love Fist of the North Star, Ken invented manly tears.

276 followers?!?!?!?! GOOD JOB DAVE MAN
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting to 276..
ReplyDeleteI remember the cover, but don't think I ever played that one.
ReplyDeletelol at the dragon balls
ReplyDeleteI played the PS1 Fist of the North Star games, but I didn't know there was one for the Genesis. I agree with you though. Anime games get/got the shaft back in the nineties.
ReplyDeleteThat is a horrifying thing to find out lol. Then again, most anime came to the US in a butchered state at first (freaking dubs).
ReplyDeleteid love to play this game
ReplyDeleteI want them to make a movie based on the cover of the Last Battle game. "Oh no, its David asselkicker run!"
ReplyDelete"Not so fast poorly protected guy dressed up like a night, Ima kick my heeled slipper foot right through your shielded face and take your magic spool away from you!"
"My magic spooooooooolllllllllll"
Coming to a theater near you.
Cinemax at 4am is kung fu. Cinemax at 1am is softcore gold. When I was younger, I was watching at 1, not 4.
ReplyDeleteOh, Sega, how I miss you. So many great memories!
ReplyDeleteI feel like saying something negative about the genesis, but maybe these console wars are going out of style.
ReplyDeleteGood titles always get lost in translation.
ReplyDeleteThis blog has turned you into a man!
ReplyDeletei miss old console gaming man

Is it funny that I really liked playing Dragon Power. XD We found it at a yard sale for 2$
ReplyDeleteI never heard of, or played this game, but just from looking at that cover... I'm kinda glad I didn't.
ReplyDeletewow i really didnt have no idea of those games man. i would like to try dragon power now
ReplyDeleteBUT MARIO IS AWESOME!
ReplyDeletewe have very similar tastes. i also remember watching fist of the north star when i was 11 or so and thought it was so awesome because of how violent it was. at that point i only had dbz and sailor moon... nowadays all of the animes on cartoon network are bloody, so it's not as fun for those growing up to sneak onto a prime channel and watch something 'edgy.' following you!
ReplyDeleteI actually enjoyed that game
ReplyDeleteWelcome back!!
ReplyDeleteipiliviensomewhere.blogspot.com
I just watched "Fist of the North Star" again a few weeks ago. It wasn't as violent as I remembered but it was still good.
ReplyDeletesuch a shame when things get butchered like that.
ReplyDeleteGotta love unoriginal Americans jacking material from overseas to pump out crappy games!
ReplyDeletelol last battle....remember that game, all the characters were jacked. Love how all 80-90's cartoons and games all had characters that were built like pro bodybuilders XD.
ReplyDeleteFollow me brehs!

Congrats to you :D! Btw why does America have to ruin stuff that is already awesome!
ReplyDeleteDavid Douchelhoff... definitely looks like him haha... the art on that cartridge reminds me of Final Fight on SNES...
ReplyDeleteI remember the last battle on the genesis. That game was actually kind of fun. I agree with the cover art however. The guy looks like he's doing a ballet move.
ReplyDeletecongrats
ReplyDeletenot much of an anime fan here but an interesting read nonetheless
not really an anime fan but i see where you're coming from, good info.
ReplyDeleteI remember that game.
ReplyDeleteIt seems really that most games based on a property from another media ended up not great back then.
ReplyDeleteWell . . . in California, snow is, uh . . . different.
ReplyDeletehahaha durrr
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Can't wait to see more.
