    "It is simply because we have moved into next-generation development,"

     

    I think this is key. Before the release of Rebel Strike I remeber reading an article in EGM or some rag, where Factor 5 had talked about an ambitious online Rogue Squadron game. At the time it was insinuated that it would be for the GCNext. I certainly hope this is the plan

    Has anyone else seen this? It's for a Volvo S40 or something (I know nothing about cars). Anyway, the commercial is presented as if it's a vid, with PS2-like graphics. I thought I was watching a trailer for Gran Turismo 4 at first. Strange but cool. It just shows how mainstream video games are right now and totally hits the appropriate target market of Males 18-34 with disposable income. Looking for a car? Like PS2? Volvo's for you!

     

    Thoughts?

    Was this game originally intended for the NES? I love the style and gameplay, but the NES hardware seems pretty under-utilised on this one.

     

    For it's time the graphics are not too good and it doesn't really "fit the mold" in terms of the style of most NES games. It always seemed to me like a PC game or something that was ported to NES for the cash grab...

    How good are you at racing games?

    Usually lousy. This can be attributed to a general lack of interest in most racers however

     

    Can you keep your cool and not get frustrated at higher levels or when you make too many mistakes? I can't keep my cool on ANY games. Once I start sucking, the system goes off

     

    You prefer cartoon or realisitic racing titles?

    Cartoony for sure. Mario Kart IS racing. Love Cel Damage too

    So far in April:

     

    GameCube - Mario Kart Double Dash (Mirror Mode is EVIL!), Jedi Knight 2, Midway Arcade Treasures

     

    NES - PinBot, High Speed, Double Dragon, Castlevania 3, Ninja Gaiden

     

    GBA - Activision Anthology, Zelda Famicom Mini

     

    VCS - Ice Hockey

     

    SNES - Gradius 3, Mario All Stars, WWF Royal Rumble

     

    Wish I had more spare time to dedicate to these awesome titles though

    Thanks for the input, the lists and recommendations'll help.

     

    I agree that most of these games do suck, but it's more of a kitschy thing and I like to "have them all" as it were.

     

    BTW - I have Pro Wresting, have for years and it kind of sucks too. Don't get me wrong, it's cool enough and easily the best NES wrestling game, but it is really just a button masher. If you use the NES Advantage, challenge factor = zero.

    If you like PinBot, you have to also find High Speed for the NES.  It's the same basic thing, but based on a different pinball machine.  I personally prefer PinBot just a little more, but I was really surprised by High Speed's great quality too.

     

     

    I went looking in the wild, found High Speed and bought it based on your recommendation. You're right - same idea, but different enough. Also much faster! I'll be logging some hours on this one too.

     

    Any more NES pinball recommmendations?

    We're getting a bit out of the video game realm here, but Star Wars kicks ass, so hey why not.

     

    I highly doubt that that'll be the new title. Did you catch the rerun of the Simpsons last night? In mocking the Phantom Menace they had renamed it the Gathering Storm. Of course you never know what George will come up with

     

    BTW - Bounty Hunter does rule. Especially if you are right into SW lore and such. The detail and the characters etc are like crack to a hardcore SW geek
