At what point where did a certain game from a long running series become that series' peak, which it hasn't beaten since? Pick any series you like. I'm too lazy to explain my reasons for my choices yet, but here goes:
Bust-A-Move: Bust-a-Move 4.
Bomberman: Saturn Bomberman.
Sonic: A hard choice this one. Either Sonic CD or Sonic 3K.
Street Fighter: Street Fighter III 3rd Strike.
Kirby: Kirby Super Fun Pak/Super Star
The "Peak" of a series?
I have to say pt 3 was the peak.GagaMan wrote:At what point where did a certain game from a long running series become that series' peak, which it hasn't beaten since? Pick any series you like. I'm too lazy to explain my reasons for my choices yet, but here goes:

I think the funky combo system in 4 ruined it.
What about the arcade game???Mozgus wrote:Any X-Men game: X-Men 2 Clone Wars for Genesis

I just watched some youtube videos. Seems like a copy of TMNT. Yay for 6 player, but otherwise the music is annoying, graphics are bland, gameplay is simple, stages are uninspired. No thanks.Yackom wrote:The arcade game was way better than the Genesis version of the game. I think its time for you to fire up Mame.Mozgus wrote:Never tried.

Anyways, the two genesis X-men games have nothing to do with the arcade game. They are not a "version" of it.
But really, try clone wars if you haven't. It had the best graphics of any Genesis beat-em up, fairly deep controls for it's time, covered the best generation of X-Men (or maybe I'm biased), beautiful and interesting stages, and the music did things on the soundboard that no one this side of Jesper Kyd could pull off.
Oh and speaking of the music, some of the songs were character dynamic and would change instruments based on who you played as, much like when you hopped on Yoshi in Mario World.
The arcade game was a great beat-em up game, and as same with TMNT and the Simpsons arcade games where all made by Konami. So to say its just a copy is irrelevant, which is like saying genesis games where just copies of say strider or some other action platformer.
Plus youtube isnt a great medium to see what a game really looks like.

I know what I'm talking about. I'm not going to enjoy it. How is youtube not good for it? I was watching a full playthrough. It shows plenty. I assumed it was made by Konami, and that doesn't make it any less of a copy-paste job. And I never got into the Simpsons game either.Yackom wrote:The arcade game was a great beat-em up game, and as same with TMNT and the Simpsons arcade games where all made by Konami.

Well, if you didn't get into Simpsons there's nothing in X-men for you save the X-men themselves. Same with Turtles in the arcade.
That said, sometimes seemingly similar games are quite different. Streets of Rage, on the surface, appears to be a cheap knock-off of Final Fight, but in reality I think it's a much better beat-em up with a lot more to offer.

And I didn't even like TMNT arcade much. I prefered it on NES. Dunno why.marurun wrote:Well, if you didn't get into Simpsons there's nothing in X-men for you save the X-men themselves. Same with Turtles in the arcade.
