Oni is so much better with the brutal AI mod. It gives enemies the ability to use Konoko's full moveset in battle, turning common mooks into fighting game opponents. The PS2 version is trash, because enemies just stand still and throw the occasional punch or kick.

There is a FPS Mech game I sorta remember playing as a child. It was for the PC and you could lean from side to side, rolling on what I assume were wheels. You could even crouch and roll at the same time, and even jump into the air and do a somersault. I don't remember much about it, just that the main front cover had the mech in the front and various cool colored hues all around it. I continue to search for this elusive game.

It finally got a bit of attention with speedtroons and streamers the formerly lost PC port got restored but it's still largely forgotten. While I love it, I'd be more than happy if I never had to play it again because the last couple levels are so fucking ungodly hard you're left as an empty shell of a human being soon after finishing them.

It has its cult following, considering it was made by a pre-Halo Bungie.

Here's Vendetta, a C64 action game by System 3 (of Last Ninja fame) that has nothing to do with the Konami beat-'em-up. The cover is weirdly romantic, considering the kidnapped girl is supposed to be the hero's niece.

This is the only video game that lets you play as a skinhead. It’s a halfway decent super mario kart ripoff with road rash mechanics. I had it when I was 6 and nobody cared about it then, and nobody cares about it now. This is truly forgotten in every sense of the word.

Overall it's a good game, despite its flaws. The voice acting is absolutely top notch, even by today's standards, the characters are interesting and unique, the religious lore that ties the world together is fascinating and very well-written, and the bad guys are some real sons of bitches. Every "world shell" feels like a world of its own, with very different people, cultures, levels of advancement, struggles and accomplishments. Unfortunately, Septerra Core has one of the most boring, clunky and stiff battle systems I've seen. Random encounters take way too long to complete, you spend 2/3 of the time just waiting for your action bar to charge up to the highest level, and by late-game things keep dodging your moves (or they'll take 0 damage because of some shitty bug that happens more often as the game progresses). At least there's a cheat code that lets you win fights instantly by pressing Alt+F3. Just turn that on and use it to get through random encounters. Don't use it in the boss fights, those are actually kind of fun.

I get Oni mixed up with Shogo. There was a minute there around Y2K when a number of white western developers who grew up with anime in the 80s and 90s decided to make games with that as an influence. Some western animation, too, plus The Matrix.

Dunno if it's "grew up with" specifically. A lot of the "cool" stuff was for adults, and hard for a kid to get a hold of, especially the further back you go. Might even have been the opposite: they were so fascinated by it *because* it was so different from the kids' cartoons and Western media they'd grown up with.

Never heard anyone mentioning or talking about it.
It's damn good. The spells are fun to use, movement of the character is solid, creepy art direction is nice and spooky with those voodoo elements, and the music, man the way the music builds up from barely there with progress through the stage until at the end it's full of layers and epic is amazing.
The only negative thing I can say is that the levels range from awesome to look at to pretty boring, and unfortunately the further you go the more the boring ones tend to become the majority.
The best levels are obvously the ones that embrace the spooky voodoo afterlife atmosphere, with the sacrificial temple being the high point, which is genuinely creepy with its cells and altars and blood everywhere, which is also one of the first levels you visit. Later on there tend to be too many levels of "boring geometric structures floating in the air". In other word its high points are spectacular (like walking on the snake over the rivers of blood or the temple of blades) but its low points are pretty low as well.

Still, it's a great game.

Never even realized there was a third entry. Or even a "director's cut" of the first game. Why would there be a "director's cut" of a fighting game anyway? It's just two characters punching each other until one of their health bars is depleted. Did they brought back cut characters or something?

There's also a director's cut of the second game, which itself has different versions in germany and the rest of the world

Director's cut of the first game has a "making of" gallery, with concept art and test animations (in the real early ones the cyborg' stand-in was a patlabor) and a development diary. The game itself is the same

The second game's director's cut has two extra fighters (called Sheepman and Bunnyrabbit) for a total of 30, contains the full text of the novel, the Brian May tracks that were made fo the first game but couldn't be used due to a right dispute, and a making-of folder that's really just a slapdash dump of whatever was lying around at the end of dev, images or animations or sounds.

Ironically that makes it rather interesting because even there's no context for anything there's a bunch of cut content. That's how people first realized there was an arcade prototype for example, since there's animations from it, or that Brian May actually voiced the (heavily vocoded) announcer.

The Saturn sold 1.8 million units in North America. Dragon Force sold only about 150K. Less than 1/10 people owned or played Dragon Force. I havent met anyone in person who has played it before. Seems pretty forgotten to me, with how low its play rate.''

From Dust has only sold 50k copies per year on average worldwide since its release in 2011. Thats damn low numbers in the grand scheme of things.

Big Red One didnt even sell 10% as much as CoD 2 did.

Kirby Air Ride sold 422,311 copies in Japan and 750,000 in the United States, which is weirdly specific, but it just straight shows that on a google search. There were over 21 million GameCubes sold. Thats just around 5% of owners played Air Ride

Mark of Kri sold so little that the company hasnt made anything other than shit sports games since. I cant even find sales numbers for it.

22.000.000/140.000 = 157143.

1 out of every 150K SNES (adjusting for resales at game stores a little bit) owners bought that game.

Not until 2023, and presumably pending FTC approval.

Also, it's a game in a major franchise, so I imagine most people who've skimmed through the SNES's catalog remember it. Never played it myself, though.

I don't know how obscure this one may be, but I seldom see people talking about it and I remember it being pretty well done, and fucking scary for being rated E.

I loved this one as a kid. It had really great atmosphere and I always liked the whole feel of it. A bit jank but pretty good for PSX.

I remember it being short but very fun nonetheless. >>8534674, on the other hand, I remember being pretty bad.

I think that out of the prequel PSX games the only one that somewhat holds up is Jedi Power Battles.

Captcha was PSX4A.
