IGN writes: "The more we see of NBA Jam the more we're convinced this reinvention of the game that made $1 billion dollars in arcades in 1993 is in safe hands. Not only has the team at EA hooked up with the series' original creator Mark Turmell to ensure they get the core experience right, but there's a whole lot more going on with this game than you might expect, with a wealth of content that encompasses unlockable players, cheats and two full campaign modes: Classic, where you play all 30 NBA teams (with three current stars per team) as well as taking on 2 on 2 boss battles against NBA legends such as Magic Johnson and Larry Bird; and the Remix Tour, which is double the length and promises to really shake the formula up – think boss battles against more than just legendary players, drastic changes to rules and modes, that kind of thing."
Isaac Clarke of Dead Space fame has appeared in many games, both as a playable character and an Easter Egg. Have you played them all?
Yes, it is much harder to start a retro collection in 2022 than it was in 2017, but it’s still possible! You’ll see there are still quite a few SNES games that are fun and affordable.
I really enjoyed Commando as a kid and it’s not listed . I bet it’s cheap maybe? Beat all 99 levels just to find out you start all over again .
You must be talking about Captain Commando and no it's not cheap...going for about $130.
Any retro console is still worth buying in 2022 whether a Genesis, NES, SMS, TG16. Some systems command a higher price then others but a SNES is still reasonably priced and worth grabbing you can mod the NA SNES to play Japanese games throw in an Everdrive and you're set. I feel sorry for some of the consoles I see on Ebay that have holes in them, yellowed to death, modified with shitty mods that barely work. The SNES might need a little work great way to learn if yellowed just use peroxide and UV light and it will turn white again. If you have a hobby of repairing older consoles that are listed as untested broken for parts some of the repairs are basic you can save money that way when buying a retro console. I just bought a $20 NES listed as broken on Ebay disable the lock out chip and new 72pin connector and it works.
I imagine restoration work on retro consoles is going to become much more important as the years wear on. Sure, hundreds of thousands of certain consoles were made, but fewer exist every year.
Depends on the console a SNES for sure needs retrobrite the plastic grows brittle and literally falls apart same with the NES. A White Dreamcast also needs retrobrite if I remember right the TG16 needs new capacitors it suffers the same issue as the Game Gear. Most of the old handhelds need new screens since they fail with age my Game Gear had new capacitors put in and a McWill mod done to it. The NES needs the lock out chip disabled when the power light turns on and off maybe throw in a new 72pin as well. Sega Master System has an issue blowing out the 7805 voltage regulator. OG Xbox depending on the board revision needs a clock capacitor removed or it leaks and fries the board. N64 controller needs a new thumbstick Sega Genesis model 2 suffers from the solder around the power supply is prone to cracking hence the system will not power up. Sega CD model 1 the laser dies fast model 2 the rubber feet supporting the drive fail and the model is know to throw the pico fuse so it dies fast as well.
It also depends how you treat the system also I baby my shit. I don't throw it around like a football the systems I see that might need the most help going through the years are the ones that use lasers and discs. I know some systems have problems due to how they were built as well like again certain board revisions of an OG Xbox and the Game Gear. I have bought broken systems and picked them for parts. I actually enjoy fixing older systems it's relaxing and a great way to teach yourself new skills.
Turning 64 this year.....my days playing video games are Now over.... time to move on to Jesus Christ .....I wish all of you Happy New Year . Game on Dudes!!!
It was fun while it lasted.
The Sega Genesis is a tad underappreciated. This site has already posted about how this console was great for the RPG genre despite the SNES getting more glory. However, that was not the only genre that flourished on the Genesis/Mega Drive.
Shining Force is on my long list of game series should be revived. Same with console Phantasy Star
Shining Force 1, 2 and 3 were awesome, the third one can only be played with emulation along with the translation project because of Episode 2 and 3 that were only released in JP. But I agree, I don't know why SEGA don't revive this franchise, tactics games are very well accepted these days.
I didn't know that about the third one. After the success of the last Fire Emblem, I can't imagine why we don't get more tactics RPGs out there. I'd even take a tactics ogre at this point
YES
i love shining force. i need a bundle with all the games in it.
but the mobile game is coming soon anyways :)
I'm sorry but I feel the list has been made by a person checking his own backlog catalog.
Mortal Kombat 2? missing half of the sounds and animation from the arcade.
And can we say Super dark soul difficulty when we say Earthworm Jim 2
Here's my pick for still holding up and fun
- Shinobi Shadow Dancer, not too tough nor too easy with a good arcade challenge 1 hour long to complete.
- Gunstar Heroes
- Nhl 94
- Thunder Force 3
Great lost with lots of memories. A reboot of the Shadowrun game and Shining Force would keep me entertained and busy for a long time.
-Soleil
-Sonic 2, 3 and knuckles, pinball
-that one x-men game i always forget its name
-that one fighting game that has different characters (a fishmen, an assassin lady, a private detective from the 70s etc)
-shining force 2
-dynamite heady (probably the best looking genesis game, imo)
-wonderboy in monster world
those are the ones that come to mind ha.
Sega CD version is so much better though.. I had both versions back in the 90's
yes i will get the game but not if EA think i will buy it for my wii then all of a sudden its going on 360/ps3 with 720p/1080p support u can f off plus where is online its a crime to make such a game without online play how stupid they say not made mind up yet EA think they can do a game on wii then bring it to 360 ect with little bump in graphics when they could have just gave the wii version a bump in graphics i mean EA do a game like skate it then announce skate 2 for 360 ect why not skate 2 for wii/360/ps3 games last gen were graphically better than skate whats wrong with EA they want to always tone graphics on wii games so that they can give 360 owners graphics that the wii could have done it makes me sick i mean why even think of bringing it to other consoles when u have 75 million wii owners and i think there are at least 10 million peoplethat would buy the game so why not up the budget for superior visuals that the wii can do make the online major robust and basically turn the production values right up and make the game impossible for people not to own do wiispeak support for when u finish matches ect a bit of trash talk after the match ect just spend another 10 million on the game it will make the money back all day long
ONLINE IS SO IMPORTANT TO THIS GAME ITS A JOKE I MEAN I WILL BUY THE CONDUIT 2 A DEV HOUSE THAT WANT WII OWNERS TO HAVE THE SAME LEVEL OF DEEP FPF GAMING THAT OTHER CONSOLS ENJOY EA WANT WII OWNERS TO COME SECOND TO 360 ECT EA LOVE HD HATE THE WII FULL STOP WHERE WAS FIGHT NIGHT GAMECUBE DID NEARLY AS GOOD AS THE RECENT 360 VERSION SO WHERE IS MY WII VERSION OF FIGHT NIGHT EA ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT HOW THIS GAME MIGHT COME TO 360 ECT BUT THERE ARE 10S OF GAMES THAT GO TO 360 THAT EA JUST SIMPLY SAY ITS NOT POSSIBLE ON WII WHEN IS CLEARLY IS THEY JUST DONT WANT TO SPEND GOOD MONEY ON THE CONSOLE THAT FOR DOING THA WILL GIVE U THE BEST RESULTS
No offense, but...you're ruining the moment. >.>
NBA Jam was the only sports-based game I actually liked, so I cannot wait for this game. The fact that Mark Turmell is there, keeping these guys from taking the Jam spirit out of this game...makes me happy. Hearing about the effort they're putting into for the gameplay, the unlockables...everything sounds incredible. I can't wait.
This game looks like so much fun. I love "arcade games", simulations can get a little too much (a little too deep). Sometimes i just wanna pick up and play and try to beat the high score!
Bring back the arcade i say. Best times ever.
Though, I'll tell you right now: Online is a neccessity for this game. Make it happen.
