I miss Data East so much.
really, >>2484464 has all the companies I really miss
what the fuck did Irem do after R-Type Final, anyway?

there were the R-Type Command games, and maybe a Hammerin' Harry
and that was all I can think of
how the hell did they stay afloat for so long after with no projects at all, anyway

Oh, and SNK is effectively dead. We're probably not even going to get a KOF14, let alone something in any of their other series.
they're mobile and pachinko now

Midway was one of the better western game companies around.
they brought us fucking Hydro Thunder and NFL Blitz and Crusin USA, Smash TV and NBA Jam, etc

And hell, even though I was never into Mortal Kombat, they had that. Midway is probably the one western game company I can look back fondly on.

ITT: Retro companies that were "unique"

Where is the best place to look for snes and nes titles /vr/?

You know what to do boys.

This developer didn't survive past the retro generations of gaming.

What was Data East's best game?
