This guy would take The Super Spy and Legend of Success Joe over Blazing Star and Sengoku 3 any day of the week.

Oh dear...

Some choices aren't bad, I didn't read his reasoning for her choices though.

 

[TheJiggler]

LOSJ's color palette exceeds what is capable even on todays systems. Makes sense why it hasn't been ported.

 

[capnd77]

Yeah I have a special place in my heart for Cyberlip, so I dig that pick.

 

[madman]

What a fagit. But yeah, Cyberlip is worthy. Oh and Viewpoint too.

 

[cdamm]

legend of success joe: i know the wikipedia article says "never released outside of japan", but im positive ive had english labeled and marquee'd versions of that game in the past. i though the mvs got a local in the systems early days? am i wrong here?

 

[madman]

No English release according to mvs scans. Perhaps this is the English version you saw?

 

[bubba966]

Lol @ dat KPJ 'shop ^

Sometimes, the customer doesn't always KNOW what's right.

That's not it. I dunno/ I sold that thing 4 or 5 years back. Maybe mind is playing tricks on me.

Kotaku is click bait. They make articles exactly like this that outrage people that know better just so you link to it going, "OMG look at how stupid Kotaku is."

I'm serious.

True, those video game hipsters are a byproduct of the post Playstation scene and starve for originality like an arcade cabinet for quarters. In today's emulated world it's pointless. Besides, Viewpoint seems to have some serious copyright issues (even its release was troubled), so I guess it won't happen anytime soon.

I hope you dumped the ROMz before you sold it or prepare for the ban!

Kotaku is a garbage site, but he even admits Joe was morbid curiosity as he never played/seen it but heard how bad it was, so that last entry is a joke posting.

The rest of the list really isn't bad, and Mutatation Nation, Cyber Lip, and Viewpoint are solid games. Crossed Swords/Super Spy type stuff you either I think love or hate as they're unique so I can see why the list had that, but having both was dumb.

It was just published so I think that's why more popular stuff wasn't put on there as it's already on that HAMSTER ACA stuff.

 

[trenton_net]

I agree with most of what has already been said. I would say Crossed Swords is a solid title, but Super Spy is a little weak. Specifically because your grinding against the same people for hours using the same boring tactics over and over. But that's just my option.

 

[FilthyRear]

This was the best part of the whole article.

Any info on these setups?

Going from the image credit in the article, I assume they're from a "night market" in Thailand.

Lesser known games/titles that don't usually get ported would have made more sense imo:

Breakers/Breakers Revenge
FH Dynamite
Zed Blade
Zupapa
etc etc

Breakers is getting getting that Dreamcast port. I wonder why they didn't do Breakers Revenge instead though?

Yea, total Faggetry for sure but Super Spy is not a bad game, I dig it. As far as LOSJ go's, I don't know, never played it, so I can't comment. I agree that comparing those two games to Sengoku 3 and Blazing Star is going a bit too far.

 

[CORY]

Because this is crappy port of a Neo Geo CD emulator running an iso of Breakers for the Neo Geo CD.

Breakers Revenge wasn't released on the Neo Geo CD.

 

[BlackaneseNiNjA]

If the Breakers being brought to the dreamcast is simply the neo cd iso in a wrapper, there's the likely explanation. Sadly, Breakers Revenge never made it to the neo cd format.

Edit: Cory beat me to it.
