Yes, Bayonetta, I missed you. Every day 100 times forever and ever Bayonetta I miss you dot com. This game can't release soon enough, I really enjoy the Wii-U but this was the game that I bought it for. Read more

3DS is more than capable of emulating GBA. GBA is not resource intensive, there are GBA clone systems with WAY less processing power than the 3DS. Also, you can (and I have) emulate the entire GBA library with practically no compatibility issues via various 3DS flash carts, and those need to run the GBA emulation in a… Read more

That's actually not a bad idea, since I find myself distracted by the action on the Wii-U pad in New Super Mario and NES Remix. Like, my brain KNOWS that the action is on the TV but it wants to LOOK AT THE PAD! Read more

The Dynasty Warriors series would like to have a word with you. And also many many pachinko, horse racing sims and high school dating sims too numerous to name. Read more

No problem! There's no denying that it's a great value for fans of the series and it's a really nice package aesthetically software wise. The menu with the arcade cabinets are very cool and everything works exactly as it should. Great job by your team! Read more

Ah, that's good to know. They fucked it up on the other side of the pond. Read more

The thing to know is that DAPHNE really kicked-off the groundwork for Digital Leisure getting their shit together and doing "arcade perfect" home versions. And now that Digital Leisure has accomplished that in the video quality and the "accuracy" of how the game functions (order of the rooms, scoring, move patterns,… Read more

Yeah, the Wii version just ports all the legwork that Digital Leisure did, it's the same as all of the other HD masters where video quality is concerned, even at 480p with component cables it's totally fine IMO. If you want all three games that's a decent value, otherwise I'd say go for the HD single version of… Read more

Eh ... those DVD releases aren't spectacular unless you're looking to watch the game auto-play. As far as DAPHNE goes, to get the granted copyright permission from Digital Leisure you'll need the 20th Anniversary Edition of the DVD's from 2002. Those are rarer than the standard DVD releases that they did a few years… Read more

It's never too late sir! If you have a PS3, XBOX 360, Wii or a Steam account (or even a PSP, Vita, DS, Android or iOS device), it's a great time to get a perfect, HD remastered version of the game at a great price. Digital Leisure have literally proliferated the remaster of game on practically every platform, and if… Read more

Fun fact, ALL of the US pressings of "Strider 2" for Playstation were mislabeled, the disc claiming to contain Strider 2 was the bonus disc containing the original Strider arcade game and the disc labeled "Strider" was actually Strider 2. Capcom never made additional printings that corrected this error. Read more

Don't sweat him, no matter who claims to be unimpressed, I've played the game to completion to crowds at arcades that literally bust out into spontaneous applause at the ending. I'm totally self-aware that the game is all about memorization and timing, but it's also about playing the game for an audience to let them… Read more

I don't know how will I ever live with myself having failed to impress you. Read more

Hahaha, no, no, those various re-imaginings are their own brand of hell. Read more

Thanks! Read more

Thanks! I'm confident that I'll make a recovery and be back for PAX in 2015. Read more

Prognosis on my situation isn't dire, but treatment is aggressive as fuck, it's been hell so far but if it means that I get to make it out the other end it'll be worth it. Read more

Unfortunately Steve, this will be the first year that I'm going to miss PAX EAST. I'm usually there running the "Classic Console Free Play" room with the rest of Digital Press but unfortunately I got a cancer diagnosis and I'm undergoing aggressive treatment which will be going on all the way through PAX. Once I'm in… Read more

Unfortunately, this year I will not be able to make it to PAX this year. I typically participate in setting up and running the "Classic Console Free Play Room" with the rest of Digital Press, BUT I was recently diagnosed with cancer and I'm undergoing an aggressive treatment schedule that has me pretty heavily… Read more

Yeah, I probably will at some point. I'm a member of "The Digital Press Podcast" and we are working out the logistics for starting up some "let's play" videos. Read more
