Make sure you get a Mic, unusual take on Pinball.

Also, Nintendo site still sells the mic holder for a buck.

I went, I saw, it kicked the rest of Momocon's ass!

Seriously a fun time to be had, and the panel was a nice live look at the articles I had only read up until this point. Definitely a blast.

Your memory is better than mine. Remember, that was after 50ish oz of lukewarm coffee. I got the feeling from the crowd that we copped out on two: Sin and Punishment and Panzer Dragoon Orta. I had someone talk to me about it today and they agreed that they are legitly the lower end of the hidden gem spectrum.

Sorry Pephary, Ive got that diarrhea of the mouth thing going for me...

And even if people complained - Real Sound is just a game that needs to be mentioned.

The only other import only N64 game to me that is an actually hidden gem is Dezaemon 3D. I also thought Panzer Dragoon Orta a good choice most gamers haven't heard of the original series since only on Saturn, and as you stated it was considered a flop. I guess another fighter wouldn't have hurt since we only had one, Tao Feng in that case would have been a good replacement on the Xbox. The crowd seemed blood thirsty anyway.

Meh, I had a blast and left informed, so that's all I'm judging it on.

While Panzer and S&P are on the lower end of the obscurity scale they're no less gems for their consoles that still aren't appreciated by a wider and more judgmental audience which would have loved them had they been marketed properly (Panzer Dragoon: Orta), or even released here with a simple one screen menu translation (Sin & Punishnment (I'm looking at you Nintendo. :evil: )).

Plus, real sound seemed to be a generally neat game worth looking into.

Sorry I didn't make it fellas, but I'm glad at least one of my suggestions made it on the list. Hope everything turned out well at the convention. Fast called me a couple of times during it, but it was mostly about a copy of Daikatana.
