Well I owned both a SNES and Megadrive and yeah, I picked up the SNES later and the games were so good comparitively that the Megadrive/Genesis didn't come off that well though I still enjoyed a great number of games. Have you tried Mickey Mouse and the Castle of Illusion? That was my favourite megadrive game.

I'm with you on Treasure, but they really have a strong fan following.

I had both too. And I never played that game but had Mickey's Magical Quest.

I just can't fucking believe NOBODY at Nintendo foresaw this shit.

In other news, I finally got Path of Radiance!

GameCube has some killer titles hidden.

All they need to do is update the firmware to support SD card over 2GB and all is solved.

EDIT - So are we going to have:

Podcasts here?

or

Interviews? (Like Smerlus did with Dvader a while back?)

Because those seem interesting.

Or comics?

I'm up for as much as everyone is interested in having.  The base qualities are the front page and community aspects because if need be I can handle all the writing on the front-page side.  In terms of doing podcasts, interviews, comics, that's where it becomes a matter of community involvement.

As for Treasure yeah they definately aren't everybody's thing. Hell in their hey day reviewers weren't very friendly too them (just look at how Edge gave Gunstar Heroes a "6"). I enjoy their games though but aside from Sin & Punishment and Gunstar Heroes I fail to see how they are "one of the greatest developers of all-time".

Ikaruga, Radiant Silvergun - two of the greatest and most diverse SHUMPS ever made.

Astro Boy Omega Factor was a fucking incredible GBA game - easily the best third party GBA game. Hell, not even Sega could pull off the PS2 Astro Boy game as well as they did (then again, they had SONIC TEAM developing it, that's a recipe for failure right there).

Their Bleach DS games also show that a more traditional (i.e. not what JUS does) fighter can work on the system.

They do seem really interesting too.

The podcast one is the more interesting, but I'm saying that out of experience. If we were to do one, we'd need to figure out a format that'd work best for everyone. I mean, we could just record a Skype conversation and release that as a podcast, but you'd have to work out how to best record everyone's voice - as well as ensure that you'd get everyone recording at the same time and are comfortable in doing so. I mean, I'm about 7 hours ahead of GG and 15 or so ahead of Vader....and my internet connection sucks (then again, that's Australia's fault, not mine).

You could also record individual segments, send them to whoever's hosting the show/editing the show, but it could also make the show sounds a little..dry. Like, it's more interesting to be having a conversation than one dude talking by himself. If it was interesting, then that's ok...just you don't want it to sound boring. But the possibilty of hearing Vader freaking out over a game? Well, that might very well be the exception to the rule.

Again, this is me just speaking from experience, but if you do a podcast, there's bound to be some work and organization involved.

Interviews seem fun. I'd be up for one.

Comics? Yes! I needs funny.
