  1. Milestone, a group of former Compile employees, unfortunately went out of business (so it seems by their error and 404-ridden website).

    But their games had some of the best damn music this side of cools-ville. "Bitches Blue," indeed.

    Radirgy/Radio Allergy (Dreamcast, PS2, GC, Wii, 360) - i hate tha sun

    Daisuke Nagata is a seriously talented composer, and I hope that, even though Milestone went under (which is a crying shame; their games were excellent. Better than the other Compile offshoot, Compile Heart), he can find some work somewhere else.

  2. How recent are we talking here? Last five years? Last ten? From 2000-on?

    Either way, one you all need to listen to, immediately, is Yousuke Yasui's soundtrack for Eschatos, for the XBOX360, released in 2011. It was only released in Japan, but the game will work in any region. This is seriously some real damn good slammin' jammin' stuff.

    Silver Lining

    Point of No Return

    Stellar Light

    It's music like this that got me to love VGM in the first place.

    He also did some music for the upcoming HD rerelease of Under Defeat, styled

    .

    The original score was by Shinji Hosoe,

    DariusBurst, by Taito, also has very great music by its in-house band, ZUNTATA (who are, and remain, the greatest VGM composers ever. Established fact.)

    It recently came out on iOS products,

  3. It's not bad per se, but it was disappointing because you can see how Rare wanted to make a platformer but all the ideas just weren't brought to fruition.

    It's kind of like how Doom 3 is not too shabby on its own, but it's not really Doom. On-topic because Doom is an awesome series, booyah.

    Though my favorite of those old iD games is Rise of the Triad.

    And of course, Duke Nukem 3D is even better than those games. But that's not iD.

  4. My one complaint of all of Capcom's recent fighters is the hideously ugly art-style they all use.

    I'm so excited for the new Darkstalkers, but damn, once more with that shitty, blocky, ugly, over-muscled cel-shading... Gah.

    And while I said Hunters is the worst game in the series, Other M is special in that its badness retroactively fucks with the other games in the series, whereas Hunters is a standalone piece of crap.

  5. I think he meant no one utilized the DS's functions particularly well outside of Nintendo.

    I was actually glad when they stopped trying to shove the microphone and touchscreen down my throat and instead worked on creating great portable games.

  6. The thing about the Wii U is when is Smash Bros. when is Smash Bros. when is Smash Bros. when is Smash Bros. when is Smash Bros. when is Smash Bros. when is Smash Bros. when is Smash Bros. when is Smash Bros. when is Smash Bros. when is Smash Bros. when is Smash Bros. when is Smash Bros. when is Smash Bros. when is Smash Bros. when is Smash Bros. when is Smash Bros. when is Smash Bros. when is Smash Bros. when is Smash Bros. when is Smash Bros. when is Smash Bros. when is Smash Bros.

    It's funny because whenever someone asks Sakurai about that, it's like he gets really uncomfortable and says

    "Um, well, dude we haven't even started that shit yet"

  7. If pure digital is anything like how Nintendo did digital retail for the Wii (ie console-locked content), then you can count on me sticking to physical media.

    And fiddling with the Wii today (or rather, my brother's) here's something I really fucking hope:

    Being able to use a CONTROLLER to access the Wii U's menu, instead of hoping that the finicky wii remotes pick up your signal.

    Every time I've had to borrow my brother's Wii (or just bring my Wiimotes to a new Wii) it takes forever to have the system recognize the remotes. I've wished that I could just use the GC remote or something to use the menu, but unfortunately, Nintendo never really implemented such an option.

    If I have to wait 20 minutes of repeated attempts to try to get my Gamepad to be recognized, why even bother?

  8. Also Sin and Punishment 2, bringing back Kid Icarus, originally publishing Xenoblade, The Last Story and Pandora's Tower(which unfortunately never made it here), Wii Sports, and the list can go on.

    Um only two of those games were made by nintendo companies.

    Nintendo pisses me off like every other big company (every single one of the "Big 3" are failing in some respect). But I'm happier they've moved beyond waggle and back into traditional games, because the only games I really enjoyed on the Wii made almost no use of the waggle or would of been better without the waggle (or waggle that worked better). I'm hoping they'll return to form sometime this generation

    I don't know, I think just like last generation, this launch is going to heavily rely on tablet tricks to make it through the holiday season.

    I've already listed the games I'd be interested in, but I ain't holding my breath!

  9. I actually just want a sequel to the Super Mario Bros. movie with Bob Hoskins.

    I've been waiting for the resolution to that cliffhanger for over a decade now.

    @Crowbar - I agree - the only NSMB game thus far that has been worth playing has been Wii, which I felt has some pretty serious problems (does anyone even remember just how mediocre the first NSMB DS was?). I'm more interested in a 3D platformer at this point - and I love 2D platformers!

    Also, all three current-gen consoles cannot do true HD, but that's not how they're marketed. Maybe by this coming gen we won't need to worry about aliasing that looks like crap, and ugly upscaled picture quality and textures. But that's a big maybe. I'm not a graphics-monger in any sense, but when all of these games advertise themselves as cutting-edge HD and they're in reality running off Windows XP hardware, it's hard not to suppress a smirk.

  10. We have to remember that there hasn't been any real HD this generation.

    Only fake HD, because most games just run 800x600 upscaled to look like shit and good luck getting 60fps with any consistency.

    Partly I'm excited because this boost up in power means we can finally stop having games look like they're 7 years old and running on tired hardware.
