One glaring omission from that is arguably their best 360 port- Ketsui.

Looks good, although I now have Akai Katana, Death Smiles, Dodonpachi Resurrection and soon Muchi Muchi Pork/Pink Sweets already.

Didn't know Much Muchi Pork double pack had gotten a budget re-release. Yoink!

The mass reseller buy outs of the initial print run show an unfortunate flip side to eBay.

CosmicSmash · 23-02-2013 12:02PM

It's a nice set but I don't think I would drop 300 on it, the whole dlc disk is a good thing imo as I hate dlc added content in general because this is normally lost if you pick up the game second hand. I know one game is dlc on it and it's not a complete set as Andrew pointed out, at this price point it should have every title that was ported to 360.

Is that cruel?

To be fair, its not the hardest forum to troll. Usually speaking the truth is enough to be considered trolling over there.

If you happen to have an Everdrive MD handy you can have the entire back catalogue, apparently, which is nice...

I left the flash cart world there a good while back, delighted I did too. Started buying the real thing again since, and am happier doing it.

krudler · 23-02-2013 02:51PM

anyone played any of the Cave shooters on android? kinda tempted to pick up DoDonPachi Resurrection for my tablet, the screen size is perfect for it and mame4droid won't run it for me.

MrVestek · 23-02-2013 06:26PM

So I tried that compatibility thing...

Turns out EnterNow and I are perfect for eachother!

I erh... I think I need to go lie down...

I know this is a little off topic but is anybody familiar with the Raspberry Pi? My sons birthday is coming up and he is showing a lot of interest is progamming and different languages. If anybody has any recommendations or advice and is willing to share it I would be more than happy to listen it via PM, thanks.

MrVestek · 23-02-2013 07:38PM

Start him on scratch to get the basics then move to java.

Beat Metal Gear Rising...

I feel like playing this a dozen times over to celebrate.

MrVestek · 25-02-2013 09:40AM

Any good? Got it for PS3 over the weekend but haven't had a chance to play it yet. Please tell me it's nothing like Cutsceneorama 4 Guns of the Cutscene...

MrVestek · 25-02-2013 03:19PM

Probably not very retro but I've just spent the past hour taking apart a PSP and am now in the processes of putting it back together. Man this console is a pain in the arse to take apart...

You sayin' something bad about my MGS4, boy? *rolls up sleeves*

And I think I'll let this image sum the game up for you.

Trust me. It'll make a lot more sense when you actually play the game. So far it's quite possibly one of my faves of this whole goddamn gen.

Oh. And this gif.

Myrddin · 25-02-2013 05:21PM

Atavan-Halen · 25-02-2013 05:22PM

I just remembered that this is a great game

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9y1ab6w5Lqo

Always threw a few coins into it if ever I passed one in an arcade.

o1s1n · 25-02-2013 06:09PM

Now there's a blast from the past! I haven't seen that game in years. Used to love playing the cab of it in Star Amusements in Bray.

That and Toyko Wars were a couple of my favs they had around then.

MGS4 was a massive disappointment and what little game was there wasn't great. Then there was the god awful writing and dialogue in between the scant gameplay.

And that's why I'm looking forward to Revengeance because after the mess that was MGS4 it really needs a bit of Kamiya magic to take the piss out of that mess. What I've heard sounds like it will get a thumbs up from me in the silly department.

I'm kicking myself that I never bought that game while it was still on PSN. The demo was great fun and loved it in the arcade. Konami lost the mini license, didn't renew it and it's lost to time now

Certainly by legal means yes. But these things are out there, & never really lost. The amount of discontinued XBLA stuff thats still available by other means is huge. Of course you need a modified console too
