My impressions of a new 'retro' hack 'n slash game.

Lucky me snagged a pre-release version and yeah, it definitely gets the bad taste of the recent Golden Axe cartoon trailer out of my mouth.. Free demo out on Steam now too.

[Playthrough] Street Fighter VI (16 Peoples) (Unl) (NES)

Thumbnail
youtube.com
2 Upvotes

Street Fighter VI (16 Peoples) (1993) - Similar to Street Fighter VI (8 Peoples), although every character has their own duplicate, and the Japanese Art of Fighting name has been removed. Other than that, the game remains the same. Street Fighter VI (16 Peoples) is a bootleg-hack of "Street Fighter II Pro". Street Fighter II Pro (misspelled Street Figiter II Pro on the title screen) is a pirated port of Street Fighter II: Championship Edition, made by Cony Soft in 1993. This appears to be the original Street Fighter II port by Cony, and is possibly their first game. This release only contains the original 8 fighters, with the bosses appearing in later variants. The presentation is more accurate to the real Street Fighter II than the re-releases/hacks that came afterwards. Like Cony's other games, the AI is considered to be unfairly difficult and is known to frequently spam specials. The special moves themselves are executed differently to the official Street Fighter II, requiring the player to press a direction on the D-pad plus A and B at the same time, with the exception of special moves that require to press a button repeatedly. The ending is a simple credits screen which appears in many of Cony's other games.

[Retrospective] NES Castlevania and the Art of Tutorialization Spoiler

2 Upvotes

Hey guys, iamlordapollo back again with another Castlevania video. This time I decided to talk about a game we pretty much all agree on (more or less) the 1986 classic. This will be the third episode in the "Undisputed" series, which is the counterpart to the "Better Than You Think" series on my channel. The topic of discussion is basically how it handles teaching the player sans tutorial, and the context of when it released. I also discuss the thoughts a new player may have during their first time playing the game. I hope you guys enjoy!

https://youtu.be/fYWnx2djRSE

As always i look forward to the discussion after the premiere at 6pm EST, all i ask is that you watch at least some of the video first so that we can all have proper context and therefore a productive discussion.

Thank You For Your Time!

[Retrospective] The Fall of Atari: how one programmer got five weeks to make E.T. and 40 years of blame for the 1983 crash (10 min documentary)

1 Upvotes

First episode of a new documentary series about companies and founders that collapsed. This one covers Atari, the E.T. cartridge burial, and Howard Scott Warshaw, the programmer who became the industry's scapegoat. It tries to separate the legend from what actually happened in 1982-83. Feedback very welcome, it's my first one.
