  • Today is the 30th anniversary of one of my top 5 favorite games of all time, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

    It's also the 20th anniversary of Smash Melee.

    30 years huh, dam, thinking back I've never actually finished a link to the past, I've started it a bunch but never played it to completion, which has happened with alot of Zelda games for me lol

    Damn, that's too bad camel. It feels really great to make it to the end of a lot of Zeldas. Link to the Past, Ocarina, and especially Wind Waker. Was it just a case of getting stuck somewhere too long? (damned Water Temple in Ocarina, somehow I came to the false conclusion that I missed something import and restarted the whole game for no reason, lol)

    usually it's a combination of getting stuck and losing the drive to continue playing, as a result the only Zelda games i've beaten are Link's Awakening, Ocarina of Time, and Breath of the Wild, meanwhile NES zelda, Link to the past, Seasons, and Majora's mask remain unfinished for me
    It's too bad DOA never had Tag-team endings, kinda like KOF has various team endings. Even if it was just text with 2D pics and most of it was silly and they only did it for certain pairings, it'd still be cool to see. I guess it was unlike to happen since tag isn't integrated into the tournament story like KOF's teams are.

    Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but iirc Street Fighter x Tekken used to have individual and tag endings as well and special in-game rival cutscenes that you were able to see only if you played a specific tag team. It would have been nice to see something similar in DOA1-5 but I'd rather take the sick tag throws over tag endings tbh.

    Wait... they're reviving the X-Men cartoon?!

    That's what it looks like. The 90s cartoon did end in 97, after all... but it just seems so weird that they'd be doing this, it's hard to believe, lol. Why name it 97? They expect newbies to binge the whole old series and then start watching the new eps? Fine by me, but still hard to believe. Sticking close to the comics in terms of looks, let alone story, seems impossible these days.
    Heads up for anyone who stopped visiting the DOAX thread or never did, KT has been taking fan input again (though only in Japanese), in case anyone here is interested


    They also had these earlier but I think they've ended:

    Man, we're really getting a KOF anime from Oobari Masami, eh? It's really happening!

    After seeing his more recent Gundam works, I'm a lot more hopeful about this one. I almost thought he lost his touch after Gravion and the Angel Blade series.

    @Awesmic - Yeah, from what I've seen of and read about Build Fighters, it's really good. What did you think of Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: The Inspector?
    Some more old Xbox/360 games might finally get added to the MS store for the Xbox 20th anniversary this year on Nov 15. Well, if not added then at least announced. Couldn't be a better time than that. Hopefully if it happens it'll include a DoA, or at least Lollipop Chainsaw. MS actually said as recently as this year that they want to add more, it's just getting harder to do it now (for some reason).

    It has been a while since MS added some more Xbox/360 games to the Xbox backwards compatibility list. Would be really great to see DOA3, DOA2U, DOA4, SCIV and SCV added, though licensing issues would generally be the thorn in the side.
    What do you guys think?

    So, 3D when? lol

    I dabbled with GGPO back in the day, but I never got around to checking out Fightcade.

    Oh wait, someone in the comments said that DOA2 is on Fightcade with rollback.... would have been nice to see that in the video.
    What if one day in the future, there was a DOA with physics almost identical to real life (except when it comes to fantasy elements, of course). Would that make for a better fighting game, or worse fighting game? lol
    inochinagi

    I guess then it wouldn't be a fighting game, but a fight simulation. But then again, is it still a simulation if you can do things not possible in the thing you're simulating?
    Nearly two years later and I'm thinking "what happened with DOA6, again? Oh yeah.. the rent-a-hair-colour debacle... did that really happen?" I had to go back to old articles to remind myself about it, because it's just so ridiculous. Pay to change it from black to brown, then pay again if you want to change it back to default black. I mean, holy hell, what were they thinking?

    Other FGs totally had the option to do the hair color swap for a long while now, kept it as the norm considering without having to use as leverage to make a salespoint. If DOA for some odd reason had to it, either 1) they are still trying to find multiple ways to sneak wallets, or 2) the game was not fully supported on the budget so they have to find ways to cover the development loss. Maybe both, who knows really.

    Still, even from an entirely business perspective, there were probably better and smarter ways to further monetize the game that wouldn't have so obviously ruined their own rep.

    Yeah exactly what I had in mind. I still firmly believe there are better alternatives.

    Personally, I would say to make a great product regardless if not that many people play DOA and to take risks to improve QoL even if the community is small, but I know KT and devs outside DOA would suck their teeth if they hear this lol.
    So sad I missed out on this piece of Japanese gaming history... :(

    Closest thing I've experienced is London, UK's Trocadero, which closed in 2014.

    I hope there's a resurgence when the pandemic is finally over.

    Koei and Tecmo go without even a single piece of Mii costume gear.. what's that about? lol. Even doomguy made it in before the end.

    Yuri from Fatal frame is an assist trophy if that counts for anything

    and if ya really want to stretch Byleth is from Fire Emblem: Three Houses which was co-developed by a subdivision of KoeiTecmo :/

    Oh yeah, there was a Fatal Frame assist trophy.

    The Fatal Frame trophy I could be able to accept, but that was obviously because of the Nintendo connection. Can't say it's nothing though.
