In the vein of mugi's month ('13) there will be a side Caravan Game: Star Soldier R (wii)!

Get those votes in...and emu is ok. It's the only way I would be able to play some of the above, as I don't have a 32x or nes.

See you guys next week, in January's thread! Hope everyone had a swell Christmas.

 

[whisper2053]

Please tell me this is a joke list, and the real picks are gonna go up tomorrow

Sigh.

Guess I'll go with Darxide.

 

[Tyranix95]

Darxide looks cool.

 

[wataru330]

Recca & SSR are hella fun, Kev. Do you have a nes &/ or 33y? I'd send you the winning cart if need be, to borrow for January. I don't have any either hardwares, so I'll be xrahmboxing it anyways...

Another sad day here at neo-geo. I'll happily sit this one out.

 

[gum_drops]

You guys better enjoy wataru's picks because come February . . .

 

[Chempop]

I might need to invest in those one handed controllers

 

[FOMOCO&CO]

I has none either..

No nes here, though I do have a sorta-kinda-sometimes-works-when-it-wants-to 32x.

 

[ViolentStorm]

DarXide gets my vote.

You have a chance to vote for, and possibly play Yagawa's crowning achievement...and it's a sad day? Ok.

 

[ebinsugewa]

So.. I guess we're playing Recca.

QFT!

Now that i finally have both my cabs ready (yoko and tate)

 

[wataru330]

Jeebus, guise.

I can't edit the poll (mod plz feel free to help me w/ this)...

But here is a new arcade set of 3 to vote on.

_macross plus JAMMA/emu

_ZedBlade neo/emu

_illvelo naomi/wii

 

[whisper2053]

And here I was thinking I would order one of the Darxide repros from Windy (assuming it won).

I guess if we are switching things up, I'll go with Zed...at least that one I have on hand and can actually play, and it's a title I've been wanting to give a bit more time to anyway.

 

[wataru330]

The thing is, I want people to participate-and have fun.

I don't always get to put the time in that I would like w/ STG o' the month...but busting a Mil during 'mugi's month, really motivated me.

There was *hella* backlash against the console games. Total apathy toward SSR/wii. The arcade choices, are an attempt to get folks stoked-and on board.

Here's hoping.

 

[Tyranix95]

illvelo looks trippy... I'll go with Zed.

 

[Mugicha]

There was *hella* backlash against the console games.

I think it might've been since these are all pretty obscure choices. As for me the only one I was slightly interested in was recca, and even that one I can't survive more than 30 seconds in

I think it's a good idea adding the arcade choices to bring some more interest and variety in. When I select mine (for the 2 different clubs) I try to do one console, one arcade, then one random or obscure which could be either arcade or console, that's just me though.

Im planning on tyring star-r anyway

For what it's worth man, I've nothing against consoles at all. In fact, if you go back and check, you'll see that most of my game time has been on console ports since I do not have a supergun or cab over here. Like I said, I was ready to order up a Darxide repro, it was just the other two that didn't seem very appealing (to me) lol. As for the new choices...I've neither a wii nor the aforementioned supergun/cab, so ZedBlade was a no-brainer on my end.

 

[wataru330]

Coolio.

Maybe one of the neo/arcade games will main, & a console game for the side piece?

Poll is busted, so plz go ahead and post your druthers in the thread, y'all.

Thanks. ^_^

Recca is legitimately a good shmup. It's a technical marvel considering how weak the NES is as a system (8 sprites per line, 64 total). It's far better than anything you'll see on the SNES, although that's not too hard to compete with.

 

[whisper2053]

Hell man, if we're just throwing out randoms, I'd be totally down with some Raiden/Super Raiden

 

[codecrank]

I appreciate your efforts to offer some different options, the problem with those old console title is 1) they lack emphasis on scoring 2) we can't put the thousands of dollars we spent on cabs to good use lol

Star Soldier R for me this month
