    Hey that's Chip And Dale for the NES.

    I was just thinking about how there was a whole thing where people kept making platformers where you pick up boxes, but it never really coalesced into its own genre.

            SMB2 is the best platformer with throwing objects, but M.C. Kids did more with the throwing object mechanics.

            Also Ardy Lightfoot barely did this, but it lets you pick up a mirror and reflect a laser at some point, which should be a core part of this genre. Let whatever game developer is taking notes know.

    Seriously though when are we getting a release date for the Marvel vs Capcom collection?

    who is this kid again? i recently remember learning that now he's some insanely famous actor or musician or some shit that you would never guess, but i can't remember who tf he turned out to be. it was crazy, like 'the rock' level of famous. (obviously not the rock)

    Battle Circuit needs more love. Hands down their most unhinged beat ‘em up

      While it was never officially released in the US, Sweet Home is another Capcom RPG that deserves more love.

        I've played the translation of sweet home and enjoyed it! The movie is great too. Resident Evil did it justice as a spiritual remake.

        It's so cheese-tastic, but if you're a fan of the Dynasty Warriors games (or ROTK in general), it's the OG Pokémon game. There are a couple of fan translation patches out there that fix some of the more inscrutably shitty dialogue (like your second run-in with Lu Bu), so those might be worth looking into. Also find a translation for the different tactics' (read: spells) names, since they're in Pinyin.

        And learn from my trial and error from my teen years: no, you can't recruit Jia Xu no matter how hard you try. They kept him somewhat canonical in that regard, since IIRC he wound up being a minor official in the early days of the Jin Dynasty, so he wouldn't have been shacking up with the Shu Han boys, whether at crossbow-point, for a bribe, or for a pony.

    Thumb so cramped he can't even extend it to the appropriate degree of "Cool Stuff".
