Pass.  These beat 'em ups are mostly nostalgia tinted for me, ATB.  I bought Streets of Rage on the Wii VC and was bored within minutes.  Same goes for TMNT on XBLA.  The games were fun at the time but the mechanics just don't hold up for me these days.

but for just 400points,hell yeah i'm in

it definetly wasnt co-op,the reason i liked this game,as i was a lonely kid,and didnt have many friends...hmm,nothings changed really...perhaps it was the girls knickers you could see when she got kidnapped....restarted the game a few times i can tell you

i have no idea what i liked about the game,i think it was just the type of game,i also loved renegade and target renegade(did you guys have them?...i think there was a renegade 3 as well)

Spoiler for Hiden:

i think at the end of double dragon,the two brothers fight each other over the girl...i think that may of just been co-op though,not sure

I think this is more of a sales thing that quality of title thing. I personally am waiting for Super Street Fighter II Turbo before buying any SF II game.

DOH! Serves me right for not visiting the link. And if I recall correctly SFII:WW was released much earlier than the other games I mentioned in my previous response.

if they could do it,i would be interested in seeing the full VC list...i wonder where turtles got?

just confirmed by major nelson

http://www.majornelson.com/archive/2007/05/08/this-week-in-arcade-double-dragon.aspx?CommentPosted=true#commentmessage

for 400points you get
Two-player co-op multiplayer locally or over Xbox LIVE
Special extras such as a look at the original Japanese and U.S. "Double Dragon" sales fliers
Gameplay with either the original graphics or with new high-definition graphics
All new music
Hints and tips for newcomers
Three leaderboards
…and more

damn yer right

i am enjoying it,although the timed missions are just making me turn to something else....mary jane will just have to get her 'thrill' rides from someplace else....the tramp

the tope 5 SNES  Wii virtual console titles are as follows:


1. Super Mario World
2. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
3. Street Fighter II: The World Warrior
4. Super Castlevania IV
5. Donkey Kong Country



for the VC i have all but streetfighter 2,as i have that for xbox live aracde.

according to the kotaku link it says that it may just be for february,which wouldnt suprise me as Zelda:Ocarina Of Time was released at the end of february,and you would think that that title would be at least in the top 5

http://kotaku.com/gaming/unit-shifters/snes-virtual-console-top+sellers-258477.php

there is also this in the form of final fantasy:
http://kotaku.com/gaming/never-ending/yet-another-new-final-fantasy-game-258499.php

apparently it was recalled but not because it was given the wrong certificate,but because the BBFC(british board film certification) was not on the actual UMD

http://kotaku.com/gaming/syntax-error/mgs-portable-ops-delayed-in-britain-again-258461.php

hmm,hasnt saints row gone to PS3?....hmm and test drive unlimited isnt that exclusive anymore,as its been screwing up on the PC and PS2........okay,i guess that list is waaay wrong

anyway....


major nelson has posted last night while i was asleep,that it wont hit for at least another 24hrs,so i am guessing that it will be wednesday,perhaps early morning


EDIT:2 videos are now availble on the marketplace showing what the new spring update will do...the only video we did see was an un-official youtube one,so this should be pretty interesting

So, is this controller available in Model S or "The Duke" sizes?

depends on the size of yer hands

lol,nice one jblank.....i hope i read that last post as sarcasam anyway...if not....er...

i gotta go

I could have sworn LA Noir was coming to the 360 too.

well according to this it is
http://www.360monster.com/mediaview.php?id=0000000372

i watched the video on there,and went to the rockstar site that was shown at the end(www.rockstargames.com/lanoire)and that just had the video there,it didnt have a ps3 logo or a 360 logo anywhere

well i have found this

http://www.joystiq.com/2007/03/07/exclusive-games-ftw-how-do-360-ps3-and-wii-stack-up/

and also this(but is about 6 months old)

hope this helps,and dont forget that the 360 has the year or so head start on the Wii and PS3,i think all 3 will have impressive exclusive catalogues
 
 

this controller could be better than the 360 pad,or the wii-mote

i dont think i would be able to take my hands off it,LOL

http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/13412/Press-Start-forOWWW/

huh,seems like the Xbox live arcade is getting better while the virtual console is getting weaker

i saw spidey 3 last friday...although there wasnt anything suprising,it was okay...nothing special,i would of liked to of seen more of venom and sandman..i care not about the 'new' goblin

and bruce campbell really needs to be on the screen(small or large)more often...his scene was proberbly the best of the movie...i kid you not!!

major nelson has just said this

'I'll provide an update on the dash when I can. The team is wrapping up on it and they're going to let me know soon. We're getting close.'

so expect news soon


although

there is also this,yes that does say 6th june......D-Day!!(dashboard day )

http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/786/786002p1.html


EDIT:LOL,major nelson just said that IGN have it wrong

i have Tron on DVD(2 disc special edition)...think i will watch it tonight

Started Zelda this weekend. Haven't received a sword yet. Hell i haven't even figured out how to get the fishing pole yet!

which one?...i take it twilight princess,i just read a report that zelda is no longer going down so well in Japan

http://kotaku.com/gaming/jumped-the-shark/has-zelda-jumped-the-shark-258258.php

the Japanese still puzzle me,i thought TP was great game...i think the phantom hourglass will do well though over there,the DS is mega massive

how dare they!!!!!

wheres the Tri-force sign???

i am looking forward to this as well,and the other Tron game thats coming,cant wait for light cycles

actually it may not be today,it just says that the spring update will happen starting the week of 7th may...whatever that means,cant see it taking more than a day

i know its today(monday)but cant see anywhere the time its meant to happen

when it happens does it kick you off a live game,or does it happen next time you sign in?...it would be just my luck to have great score oon a COD3 live match and then get kicked

Who's that slut on the right?

i dont know,but i wanna meet her

Try holding control and rolling your mousewheel up.

LOL,that was it....i have never had that before,thanks

Japanese box art anyway


http://kotaku.com/gaming/dragon-quest/dragon-quest-swords-japanese-box-art-258087.php

dont know how many still play this game,even i havent been on properly for a while

but a new update comes this june,includes a new large scale battle system(hope i dont smell a star wars galaxies type update here)

http://www.360-gamer.com/news.asp?id=834

when on this site now has anyone else found that everything is big...lettering big,topics big....its like a version for the blind

is it everyone else or is it my PC/monitor?

[Spoiler]

in your review KD,you said that it isnt kirsten dunst doing her lines,although i know her name wasnt there on the credits,it does sound a bit like her.

See?  Easily replaced. 

i looked at the achievements on my card ,and some look easy while others look like they could be hard..which is how it should be...one achievement is for swinging at 200mph...ouch,i think i am limping at a steady 25mph icon_lol at the moment,not that i cant tell whether there is a speedometer anywhere....i think it will be fun getting the achievements anyway

If you want to know how to get this one, just let me know...I'll point you in the right direction.

I would like to know how to do this.

Thanks

Spoiler for Hiden:

Get on top of the Daily Bugle and walk to the edge.  You'll see two air vents.  Walk between them and you'll get a prompt.  Launch yourself across damned near the entire map with a slingshot move and you'll get this achievement pretty quickly. 

So, there ya go.

I've gone to that location and never get a prompt.  Do you have to unlock a special skill first or something?  I do have the dual-web thing. 

Also, does anyone know how to get the stupid Web Slinger achievement?  It says "Web up 25 enemies", but I know I've used the web subdue move more times than that and it apparently doesn't count.  Is there some other trick to it?

you need to unlock the slingshot skill,i did this quite near the beginning,after i fifnished a mission so it shouldnt be that hard to get...then wehn you get to the airvents that KD mentioned,a X(as in the X button) will appear when standing in the middle

i presumed the web 25 enemies was the same as the last game(or the one before it),where you web up the enemies to the lamp posts...but i am not sure

okay,i read it...but it isnt working for me,i am speed 5 i think at the moment...do i have to be speed 6?...its just that no matter how many times i do it,i can only get 199mph...i have been trying for the last 30-45 mins...and its a pain in the ass having to keep going back to the Bugle


done quite a few more missions,new goblin,dr conners lizard...and been getting the achievements for doing the random crimes

nice ,thanks

i know i am late for this,but it only came out in england yesterday....our version has the japanese cover,FFs here usually have the plain versions

i am quite please at this game,its looks great,and i like it how the world map is on the top screen......i would of liked it if it had the dungeon map appearing as you explored...that would of been cool,but oh well

and yes,the first character,i gave a girls name,thinking it was a girl...only to find out later that i had been fooled once again(i'm never going to Japan...you hear me!!)

i bought the guide with it,which really is impressive...done by future press.(thye did zelda:TP..although i didnt like that guide)
who printed your guides?..is it bradygames?

i have never been online with the DS...is the friends code with the console,or is it different with each game title...and how do i find my friend code?

give me a day or two,if i still havent clocked on how to do it,i will send you a PM .


just did my first bomb mission...not sure how i did it really...but then carrying the bombs back to the bomb squad,i didnt notice the new bar on the screen that detects movement...so as you can imagine i had to do that a few times,i am glad that it autosaves at the middle of some missions and you dont have to do the whole thing again

the spidey sense is pretty good as well,hunting down the lizards was quite fun

metal gear solid :port ops that was released yesterday here,has now been recalled all over britain

its been given the wrong certificate

my version is a 12 rating,i guess they are gonna change it to a 15


HMV are saying that it WILL be 1st september

well,they aint gonna get my copy

those of you who are undecided..check this video out,it actually makes me wanna run upstairs to play it(but as i said,i luuurve to swing... )

http://kotaku.com/gaming/dizzy/clip-spidey-makes-me-queasy-257962.php

prepare for buffering on this vid,but if you can deal with that,this is a pretty good video(looks like the 360 version,but then again i havent seen the other versions)

Another port of a game I played a year ago.  Hooray for innovation!

True.....i am wondering,what the price will be,maybe putting the first and second trilogy in is jutsifying the full price
