SFxTekken is not a bad game at all, dont let Capcom's DLC crap cloud your mind. Tvs.C is overrated to me. MK was not a multiplatform game as the original version was released on PS2 and xbox in 06 how the hell could it have come out the same time if the Wii wasnt even on the market, im kinda questioning how big a fan you are. Guilty Gear game on wii is simply an enchanced version of a game that had been out forever, and it was still a month later than PS2 version but just by a month, if we are going to count that then we have to count the multiple addtions of other fighters and that would make the HD list even bigger. Naruto, IMHO those games are bland but you must not have played the last ones because it is not simplified, you might be in the minority there. What editions to those games on the collection were made? I have it and there was none, i think you are making stuff up.  No most people didnt like Castlevania cause it was a crap fighting game, the fact that you like it tells me where your tastes lie. (nothing wrong with that) please lets not make excuses for bad games. Persona got a fighting spinoff and it was loved. 

It is twice the number even without the super/ultimate editions. The fact that there is NO Street Fighter or Tekken presence on the system makes it a joke to fighting game fans.


Gameplay-wise SFxTekken isn't bad, I agree, but the choices they made with DLC content actually affected the gameplay and that threw me off completely. About MK, you're right, I didn't bother to look it up, the Wii version was released almost 1 year later. Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus offered significant new content compared to the previous versions, such as a story mode that continued where XX ended, complete with branching paths and new characters, so I guess it counts as a new game. I'm not a big fan of Naruto games, but I have played Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 and 1 on the PS3, and also Clash of Ninja 2 and 3 on the Wii. There's no concrete fact to make an argument here, but I found both of these games to have a simplified gameplay when compared to CoN 2 and 3 on the Wii, also, both of the PS3 games have unbalanced characters, which is a problem I didn't found on the Wii games. About the KoF Collection, I read about gameplay changes on some review. I'll try to look if I can find it and then i'll post the quote here.

Also, when Castlevania Judgement was released, I could only find posts talking about how it wasn't Castlevania. Actually, few people actually talked about the gameplay. As I fighter, I found the game enjoyable, specially when playing online. People have different opinions, though, so you're free to think it's crap or whatever, I respect your opinion.

Anyway, the system still had great fighters. Of course it wasn't the best of this generation in that specific genre, but it had worthwhile fighting games.


TBH i waited and got the Vita version of SFxT, so i never experienced the issues without those extra characters (Im sure there was, you cant lock that much characters away and not have balance issues.) The vita version had everything there and more.

Guitly Gear fair enough. Same with Naruto, we'll have to agree to disagree. KOF collection i wanna see this review because i bought that collection for Wii and there were not gameplay changes, its straight ports with galleries and music tracks. Ive bought all the games in the main series, even the atrocious 12.

Ive read actually Castlevania reviews and played the game and i can tell you most of those reviews were not saying how it wasnt a Castlevania game but how it was simply a mediocore at best fighters. To each his own.

IMHO, in terms of figthers i found it pretty terrible not even taking PS360 into account but older consoles. Tvs.C, Brawl?, GG? Those were the only "good" original fighters released, in that entire timeframe. When was the last tme a fighter was released? The only console that i could think that was worst was, n64



Around the Network

Gabecube I guess. It just didn't offer anything special (like wii and the motion controllers) or had any epic pokemon games (stadium for n64).

From the consoles I own it's nes>wii>n64>gcn

Getting a HD remake doesn't mean a game was good, just that it was commercially successful.

Seriously??  OK, name one mediocre or crappy game or series that received an HD remake this gen only because it was "commercially successful" the first time around?

Were MGS, God of War, Jak & Daxter, Ratched & Clank, ICO & Shadow of the Colossus, etc NOT good games?

Killzone 1 is a mediocre game and it got an HD remake.

I agree with you(never played the Vita version of SFxT, though, so I can't comment on this specific subject). My point was that Wii did had good fighting games, even if they were few compared to the other consoles. Anyway, about the N64, it actually had considerable number of fighting titles. Not that they were good, though...

then why would you try to sell Starfox Adventures short by trying to say that you only put cogs into the slots and what not? like you can't be fucking serious with that..

 

the combat didn't break the flow

 

at the end of the day,  the flight segments wer still better

- Because it's a prime example of why Adventures' puzzles fall short.

- I'd say having to stop and fights guys in tedious 1v1 breaks the flow.

- I'm gonna disagree; the worlds of Banjo et al were built with flight in mind and in a hand-crafted way. By comparison, the flights in Adventures were just a repetitive jumble of asteroids, items, and simple enemies.

Try not to take it so personally, I just have a different opinion on a game to you.

it falls short because there are times where you put a cog in a slot? how does that make it fall short?

 

it doesn't break the flow at all

 

nah the flight segments in Starfox were better than in Banjo Kazooie

 

i'm just trying to understand your reasoning

No, it falls short bcause the puzzles aren't clever.

Stopping to engage a group one at a time certainly breaks the flow, it slows things down too  much in addition to just being boring.

In BK flight took place in organic environments designed around it. In Adventures, it took place in shot, overly simplistic mishmashes of a few basic objects.

I don't like story in my games.  Unless its abstract like metroid 1 where everything you do tells the story.  My mind creates it's own.

Well then NES excells for you , but I still think a game like Metroid Prime did a much better job for the time then Metroid. If you don't read the lores, you can basically ignore the story in MP, but the atmosphere and erie music make this game phenominal. You never get that feeling of isolation in Metroid, but in Metroid Prime you do.


If there was nothing on the market except NES, Master System, and Atari at the time when you played  Metroid 1 you would have gotten that feeling of isolation I gaurantee.  But I know exactly what you mean.  It's all relative to the standards you come to expect.  I probably wouldn't like it either if I were you.  I don't like gameboy..  aside from metroid 2.

Yea true, if only I was born a generation earlier, then maybe NES would be my favorite system instead of SNES.

....wait WTF? How is SNES 4th behind the Virtual Boy, Wii, and Gamecube? IGN awarded SNES the best console ever at the end of the last gen, and from what I've read from most people, most Nintendo fans loved the SNES!

Tie between the N64 and the PlayStation.

Least favorite Nintendo console.

Well, the PlayStation started life as a CD add-on for a Nintendo console, so I'm going to allow it lol.

Maybe, but I beat Metroid 1 without a strategy guide in I believe 20-30 minutes when I was 13 and Metroid Prime released (had the GBA-GCN cable, which unlocked Metroid 1 when you own Prime and Fusion).

Your first time?  Are you sure you are remembering right?  The best speed runs I could find are right in that 20 - 30 minute range (http://speeddemosarchive.com/Metroid.html).  And that is for people that know exactly what to do.  It is very easy to get lost in that game, so a first time play through would take hours and hours.

The GBA, it really didnt have that much games, and best ones were ports, plus 3Dgrafix capabilities were poor. It had the worst new 1st party games i remember from Nintendo.

It's clear that anyone with basic language skills, and an IQ above 70, can logically deduce that "The only reason SNES and Wii are ahead are because they're answering this as a "Which console kicked your favourite console's ass the worst" poll." is not the eqyuivalent of "labelling everyone who doesn't share your opinion as morons or childish,"

Well, that and the fact this is a gaming forum.  Most people that come here are very far from what would be a mainstream gamer.
