Shacknews: Golden Axe: Beast Rider Preview

Shacknews writes: " my younger years, I had a thing against gnomes, and I blame it on Sega's arcade classic Golden Axe. After wasting a fair portion of my youth on the title, I realized that the very sight of gnomes in any game made me want to kick the little bastards repeatedly, in the hope that I would be rewarded with restorative medicines and magic urns.

That being said, I'm pleased to report that the loot-lugging munchkins have returned in Secret Level's overhaul of the classic arcade fighter Golden Axe: Beast Rider, inspiring the same violent urges I had felt so many years ago. But as we saw in publisher Sega's demonstration of an in-progress build of the game earlier this week, the new Golden Axe isn't just about wanton acts of aggression-well, not just against gnomes, at least.

Those familiar with the classic brawler might remember Golden Axe's beast mounts, and it's that feature-once simply another means of laying waste to the legions of foes in your path-which takes center stage in Beast Rider. As such, the creatures available for commandeering have been amped up in the typical next-gen fashion"

Agreed. Don't forget to include the classic red/white one piece for the amazon.

We definitely need a good golden axe Game, dotemu should definitely do it, and Capcom should remake final fight

RetroCaptainSteve494d ago

As long as it's not like Streetwise, I agree.

Fonsecap493d ago

There was nothing "wise" about that game 😅

Why do you have a screen from Street Fighter X Tekken for Street Fighter EX?

gamerben2791d ago

Iirc you couldn't "move in a circle" in EX like the article states either

gamerben2791d ago

Lmao also, worms 3d wasn't even a first person shooter at all either... It was turned based like the original games... Someone didn't research

KwietStorm_BLM2791d ago

Yet I have 2 disagrees lol this site never ceases to amaze.

zodiac9092791d ago

@KwietStorm Don't you know this is not "News 4 Gamers" anymore, it's "Negativity 4 Gamers." A Place where if you say something complementary or ask for some helpful advice, no one gives 2 shits. But AS SOON AS you say something opinionated or controversial, get ready for a riot, mass homocide, and a lynchin' bro.

Uhh summa lumma dooma lumma

WheatBread2791d ago

The SF EX games were actually pretty good.

KwietStorm_BLM2791d ago

They didn't deserve to be printed on disc.

Bass_fisherman2791d ago (Edited 2791d ago )

This article could be made 10 years ago lmao

KaoSouL2791d ago

I actually played the Street Fighter EX games way more than I'll ever play SFV.

Duke Nukem really was awful. It was sad trying to see people defend it.

Yukes3150d ago

I thought it was great fun!

Sorry, can't keep it up. Such a disappointment.

Yui_Suzumiya3149d ago

I enjoyed it and as far as I remember, I was the only one defending it, lol. I was actually giving it a 10/10 on sites to counter balance all the idiotic troll reviews.

lordmiffter3150d ago

Can someone put a pillow over Sonic's face and hold it down until he stops struggling? It'll be an act of kindness.

Skellytorx3150d ago

Oh god. Some of these were shocking to play!

GamerGabs3150d ago

So many disappointments. It's so sad when a well loved franchise looks like it's dying in front of your eyes. (I miss you Sonic, I hope you come back some day)

ConboyAdam3150d ago

I dunno, I think these games are great in a certain way. They're a fantastic counter argument against reboots in general and that at least is something
