Because of how these games really only reward being up in an enemy's face and hitting a button when a flashing light appears, stuff like terrain not mattering, unreactable attacks not being a thing, spacing your attacks not mattering and managing crowds have been deemphasized or removed.

Tbf, I think that you can find some valuable insight on the gaming zeitgeist by seeing why games you like are critically panned. If you find the way game design tends to shift over the years facinating, reviews can give insight into why it did.

Never thought I'd be begging for Kamiya's Space Harrier clone sections

I'm guessing you didn't play virtual on with the twinstick. It's way better if you can get a proper control setup.

Maybe you just don't like turn based combat. What's the strategy regarding defence if you can just parry everything?

Arcade games and pikmin have been criticized heavily for them, but I legit can't think of any action game where you get close to a time over unless you're playing extremely poorly.

Does the non-fightcade version have an actual turbo button? I haven't played too much run & guns or shmups because of the lack of one.

You say that like these games don't range from great to some of the best of all time.

Can you really name 5 run and gun games better than metal slug 3 for instance?

Have you played any sega arcade racer from that era? They're still better than most racing games coming out today. It's worth noting that game studios like treasure or cave died out and that several genres like rail shooters or 3d fighting games aren't what they used to be.

It's more of an action game thing than a gen z slang term.

I hope you didn't only play 2 black.

This is probably the closest I ever get to experiencing the card system as an American. It's a shame that for a lot of these older arcade games, those systems are lost to time.\

gamebanana.com/mods/456720 Now that there has been a patch to remove Kinect, I have heard more people talk about it. It seems like a decent game, but not better than the other 2.

Omega Street Fighter 4 is secretly one of the coolest Street Fighters, but you never hear people talk about it since it wasn't the competitive standard. They gave dan a pushblock for gods sake.

Dang, I never had a n64 and I thought it was like genesis overscan. Did not know that wasn't in the original.

Having breakable windows instead of walls would be super cool.

Speaking of dual mouses, do you think this might be a mini revival of rail shooters because of them?

If only the industry followed in the footsteps of Sega Rally Online and Ridge Racer 7.

Tekken 5 and Kingom Hearts 1 & 2 are musts. The ones I'd personally love even if most don't are Virtua Fighter 4 Evo, Gungrave, Godhand, and Dragon Quest 8.

That's one of nintendo's biggest strengths imo. Basically everybody you know who has a switch has smash bros and mario kart. Aside from Halo and Cod, I can't think of Playstation or Xbox having games that everybody has and knows how to play a little.

I'm not even saying your point is wrong, but I wouldn't use the most powerful graphics card on the market to make that point.

Ok, the neo geo was always meant as a high end luxury replication of arcade hardware, it was never meant to be an affordable console.

Technically, metroid prime's effects have been surpassed, but even today, nothing hits quite like looking up at the sky and see the rain drip down your helmet. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTRs...
