Uh, in that case why doesn't she a) kill you directly, or b) try to stab you in the back after the "rescue", or c) escape and reform her gang setting up *gasp* a sequel? It's presented so weirdly that it's not so much a twist as it is awkward. She's got nothin' on the crazy Combatribes cyborg lady who just straight up rips the door off her limo before doing a respectable job of trying to murder your ass.

I thought this was the most interesting thing on Tough Turf's page; )

Never heard of it before.

Best thing about Gang Wars is listening to that laugh every 5 seconds.

Yeah the guffawing enemies made a big impression on 8y/o me, used to bug the hell outta me not knowing which game it was.



Going by a quick spin in MAME, it seems the input is [forward, forward+attack] (not forward then attack), with the latter inputs needing to be near-simultaneous. Bit over-strict imo. Coincidentally, been playing Bloodstained: ROTN, where this is the parry input. Quite familiar! (not unsurprisingly, a lot less strict there)

Take your stinking paws off me you damn dirty dickwolf!

EDIT: nm, 64th's command is just [toward+attack] exactly as Jeneki (and the game's manual!) says

Decided to pick up 64th, seems alright. Liking this era of Jaleco (cf Plus Alpha, EDF) quite a bit. Solidly b-tier genre efforts. Glad to see the classic Final Fight special shortcut (hold [jump], then press [attack]) works in 64th Street, too. Pet peeve of mine when arcade games don't let you input two-button commands this way.

I've found very little use for the special attack with moustache man, it's so slow it usually gets you clobbered. The other dude's dash thing is pretty decent, though I'm finding it literally the only reason to consider using him unless I'm missing something?

Yeah, I prefer that kind of special input, specifically where holding attack then pressing jump will allow you to instantly desperation, instead of having to press both with strict timing. But having your special/desperation on a separate 3rd button is even better!

Blimey, talking out me arse As Jeneki and the ACA manual correctly state, it's just [toward+attack] simultaneously, for 64th Street's command attacks. As games always should, it'll register even if you're about-facing.



Timing's pretty strict, as noted.



Yeah absolutely, any time that's an option I'll use it. Speaking of :



I actually prefer playing Samurai Shodown II on PS4 over MVS at the moment, with its ACA version letting you set dedicated [P+P] and [K+K] buttons for hard slashes/kicks.

Played first three levels of SOR4 last night. I like the mechanics of it. Not sold on the art style, music seems a tad bland. It's already irritating the life out of me with over use of those tedious shield cops though.

Arcade Archives: Zero Team is out now. Long-lost 1993 Seibu Kaihatsu beater with massive pickup/play appeal. All we need now is for M2 to sort out Knuckle Bash and we're good for STG dev beater one-shots! Murder a samurai for his toilet paper 2-DAY

You know how you can beat fuckers to death with a toilet seat in Dynamite Deka? Similar vibe.

What good is gold, if you've shat yourself?

Includes "Older" and "Newer" versions. I wonder how comparable that is to the game's various USA/New/2000 revisions. According to the manual, Supers take more HP in the new rev. Mysteries abound! What's here plays great, regardless.

Fuck is a naggynatter? This here VG MURICA where we serve KNUCKLE SAMMICH you HUGGIES-SMUGGLING NIHONGO BITCH (■｀ω´■)

Man, you had to get me started on beat em ups. Love em!! I grew up playing them at the arcades back in the day and recently been buying and playing quite a few. I didnt read all the posts, but I recommend the Capcom Belt Collection. Its got some really good ones if you love 90s arcade games. River City Girls was good too, just didnt like the leveling up rpg stuff too much. Of course SOR 4 was AMAZING!! Shoot em ups, beat em ups, run n guns are all the same goodness to me. Great thread!

I felt the same way about the art when the trailer was first shown, but when I actually started playing it, it grew on me. I think the art style allows the animation to be so smooth. But, if you cant shake off the art style, you can allows switch to a more pixel look. Give the game a chance. I've played the first 2 games in the series and I can honestly say, this one is my favorite .

Looking forward to picking up Zero Team later. That's some sweet pixel art.

Streets of Rage Remake has a v5.2 release, which most notably adds a widescreen option. It's a toggle and you can either play it with true widescreen support, or in 4:3 aspect.

It also has a weird new Attack Damage option that defaults to "Balanced" (which fiddles with different character damage values to make them supposedly more balanced, I don't think it's a success and some slower characters are hit pretty hard such as SoR1/2 Blaze but you can set it to their original damage values).

Does it do anything about the wrestler boss?

Whoa. I would call that unexpected.

Wide screen though? Dope.

I just realized, what's stopping Hamster from putting out an Arcade Archives of Ninja Baseball Batman? They've done Irem games in the past, right? An official release of NBBM would be awesome!

That one I could actually see having some legal snafus - wasn't the lead artist an outside collaborator? Of course, nothing's saying he couldn't (mff) play ball (BWAAA ;3).

Crazier shit has happened WRT archival specialists and ancient licensed materials. See City Connection's beautiful Sunsoft anthology albums, loaded with Batman, Gremlins and god knows what else licensed game OSTs.

WRT ACA's schedule, it's clear they take their time. I was hoping we might see Undercover Cops, Gun-Hohki or especially mahfuckin GEOSTORM, with M92 maiden voyage Kaitei Daisensou (2019) running superbly. OTOH, this year saw Sunset Riders and Trigon, two absolute landmarks whose TMNT hardware is shared by Kaitei's close ACA contemporary, Detana Twinbee.

All a bit random, but when the results are this good, I just hope they keep doing what they're doing for many years to come. Still time left in 2020 for Raiden, Gradius III, Mizubaku Daibouken, Guevara and/or Rod Land.

(Hideki Kamiya acknowledging Gradius III deserves a spot, but praising the inclusion of hyperunknown Pettan Pyuu DAS MAH MAN)
