Shmup Junkie is pretty good as well. He only releases videos every couple of months or so, but the content is very well made. And his collection of PC-Engine games and shooters in general is just insane.

I'm really excited with all this, but I plan to arrange everything by the weekend, so I'll give my pal a few more days to ADD STUFF FROM JAPAN to their wish list. Haha

Thanks for the hard work, dhaabi!

I am adding a few games to my wish list now, but first, two messages to whom it may concern:
To my secret santa: "No need to worry about getting stuff from my wish list. Anything and everything (especially if they are Sega related) is welcome!"
To the good boy or girl who is going to be get a gift from me: "Add as much Japanese stuff as you can to your wish list and I'll do my best to find them here. Also, I'll make sure to send you some yummy treats too."

And let the fun begin!

Seems right on par with the previous ones so far with some fun new moves.  I'm only a few hours in though, which is still in the early game, Kraven just made himself known in the city, haven't come across anything that seemed bad.  I think there is potential for this game to not feel as fresh and exciting as the original, being that it's technically the third game, but I haven't come across anything bad or out of place yet.

I don't know...
I'm not enjoying the loooooong periods you spend just walking and listening to other characters talking to you (give me a cutscene instead!) and the bicycle riding gameplay (although sparse) is just broken.
Besides, the amount of bugs and crashes in which the game needs to restart itself I've had so far is just too high for a AAA title in my opinion.
I'm also having a lot of trouble to get the feel for the parry system and also miss the stealth gameplay options of the first game, but those two are on me.
The game is far from bad, though! Maybe my expectations were way too high...

The first Insomniac Spider-Man was my favorite PS4 game.
That said, am I the only one who isn’t enjoying Spider-Man 2?

Video Game Database Discussion / Kaze and the Wild Masks' cover

« on: October 17, 2023, 08:28:21 pm »

Hi everyone.
So, I just got myself a North American copy of Kaze and the Wild Masks for the PS4 and the cover is slightly different from the one on the database. On the middle of the bottom of the cover image, instead of VOX (like the one featured on the VGCollect website), it has the logo for "PixelHIVE".
Should this be considered a variant cover?

This is the best and most informative and best thread we've had since I entered this forum 7 years ago.
Thanks, oldgamerz.

Go BING!!!

I used BING once and my PS2 stopped working that same day!
I found out that BING is being controlled by the Illuminati, so I haven't used it since. This may be just a coincidence, but none of my consoles broke again ever since. I don't know... You'd better watch out. Better safe than sorry.

Done!
Make sure to add some Japanese-exclusive items to your wishlists, everyone!

I'm thinking that it may be time for me to join Secret Santa this year...
Just be aware that shipping costs may be a little... inconvenient. Haha!

Yeah... All my Xbox games are still working on my 360 as well.
Are you trying to run original games or some counterfeits/copies you downloaded for free?

Well, since you're a very important person, there's always the possibility that Microsoft (or maybe the government!!?) patched only your console...

General / Re: Would you replace a Greatest Hits/Reprint game?

« on: September 20, 2023, 11:52:30 pm »

I don't go after replacements for the (very few) Greatest Hits/The Best/Essentials I happen to have, but if I find a regular edition on a reasonable price... Sure, why not?
I'd love to own a regular copy of Akumajou Dracula X: Gekka no Yasoukyoku (Castlevania: Symphony of the Night) of which I only own the PlayStation the Best edition... They used to go for less than ¥3,000, but it's very difficult to find one for less than ¥5,000 nowadays though.
