Wow, I hope that gets a physical release.

Unlikely. If Phoenix Wright isn't given a physical release I don't see a niche of a niche getting one. At least let's be happy there even is an English localization

I feel like Mecha games could really pick up if done right. The problem with businesses is they monitor others, if they succeed they enter the market if they lose they shut down the idea. Until some one comes along and implements the idea well.

See how COD was so successful and everyone wants to be COD. Same goes for GTA.

I wish I remembered exactly when but I'm going to say 1999/around 2000.

Arcades were still a thing in 2000? I thought they died around 96. I know they existed just not as popular as they used to.

For some odd-reason when I was younger I had the idea that you were only allowed 1 or 2 continues. If lose you should move on to another game. Just now I realized that games were made in a way that you had to bring $10 in change and keep feeding the game until its over. No wonder I never passed level 2.

There were always those kids around the arcade that will "complete the level for you" because its tough for you...

Boy did that bring vivid memories, those were nasty...

In retrospect that, I don't recall I ever saw someone playing and smoking.

*Sigh* I want to play school tycoon(got that game when I was younger) but I just remembered that game had a cyclic redundancy error....guess soon I'll have to start the hunt for a new copy of that one. I keep remembering all these games now, and it's making me really glad I got the hp wxp computer up and running(just need a keyboard)

2000 and onwards saw the music game boom as well as a concerted effort by Namco, Sega and Capcom to regenerate the market. It was a very high point for arcade games.

The difficulty of most arcade games presumes the player will retry if he dies, credit feeding doesn't really make much sense since you won't be able to clear, say, the fourth level if you died on the third.

Heck until a few years ago, there was still a arcade at Myrtle Beach. It wasn't that great from what I recall(mostly dancing games as usual, and maybe that guitar hero arcade port). I think there was also one somewhere near broadway at the beach too(which is near myrtle too)...closest I've gotten to even attempting a arcade is the random places that will have a pac man or galaga machine

I really, REALLY want a Neo Big Red.

This is a desire that I am YEARS away from fulfilling, if I ever do, but it's one I have nonetheless.

Why am I thinking about buying NHL 14 for about fifty bucks only for the revision of NHL '94 when I already own NHL '94?

Probably for the same reasoning I want to pick up a turntable i saw at goodwill for 8.99 if it's still there...just sounds interesting

Do you already own a turntable? A decent needle for a wheel of steel costs way more than nine bucks. I'd do some heavy inspection before your purchase as records are like comics and virgins...you treat them with crazy care and respect.

Well i'd hope they'd let me test it just like you can with tvs(that's the only reason I got the crt i have). Almost all the goodwills just that one have lps anyways and I keep hearing about turntables and I kinda want one now that i keep seeing things about them now a days again...
