OutRun has always been a chill-out game for me. I don't know if it's the music, the scenery or both but something about it is immensely comforting. I feel like VR might bring back this style of gameplay.

Nice cluster of vids playa. That TwinBee game looks especially rad.

I never did like caveman stuff much. But that's a good breakdown of those games. I've got the original Joe & Mac and Super Bonk, maybe I should track down Super Genjin 2.

Thanks Ack for opening my eyes about Shaq-Fu, it's not 1/10th as bad as people say.

You're welcome! In fact I think you could do a whole video on SNES fighting games I consider worse than Shaq-Fu: Pit-Fighter, Street Combat, Brutal: Paws of Fury, DRAGON: The Bruce Lee Story, Rise of the Robots, Ultraman: Towards the Future, the abysmal Primal Rage port...

Look, Shaq-Fu is nowhere near top tier, but I don't mind putting it around the same level as stuff like Tuff E Nuff, Doomsday Warrior, Power Moves, Justice League Task Force, Battle Blaze, and Ranma 1/2 Hard Battle. These games are at least playable, unlike many of the ones I listed above. Those ones are...something.

I wanna give it another chance some day, but I got rid of Earthbound because I wasn't enjoying it (and would rather have the money than the cart). That said, Undertale made me think, "Meh, kinda neat looking but I'll pass" through the first half of your review. Then, I saw the way battles work, and now I'm very intrigued. It's also on GoG, so I might give it a try.

I agree... if nothing else the animation is beautiful even if the animation is one of the things holding it back from being a better fighting game.

It's not even close to being the broken mess its portrayed as and the absolute silliness of the thing makes it pretty endearing.

Oh no I forgot about the Ultraman fighting game... I remember playing that at Funcoland, I wanted it to be good so badly. Just garbage.

The battle system is what got me interested in the first place, it's worth checking out just based on that alone. There's a huge variety of enemy patterns too.

The "destroy all Shaq Fu cartridges" thing baffles me, there are like 1000 other games that deserve that treatment more than that game.
