NINETIES! (^-^)

Am I on my own thinking that Buster Bros cover was pandering crap and that only kids in commercials looked like that?
@barry-allenthe-flash83966 жыл бұрын
Certainly not now. There's tons of people who jump on that kinda thing _now_ . But back in the 90's if you were a kid you probably looked like that at some point. Maybe had different patterns on your T-shirt , or different color of shorts, but it's pretty normal clothing for a kid back then. And fundamentally, there's nothing wrong with putting kids on the cover who resemble the kids you want to buy the game...... Though, I will admit.... perhaps there is something about the sunglasses that makes the kids seem a bit unappealing? Maybe something about the facial expressions? A little bit of smugness comes through there, I admit. They give off a bit of a "punchable face" vibe, sure.... they actually kinda remind me of _Rascal_ on the PS1, though by the time they tried to get away with it, kids just didn't look like this. But I think Buster Bros hit at the right time. And compared to _Kid Chameleon_ ? Now, that's crossing the line - NO KID had a leather jacket, or sported slicked back hair. Who are you trying to fool, Sega? THAT's outrageous; totally immersion breaking :P

My favorite part about Rival Turf was the fact that you could rename most of the enemies in the game. However, you had to complete the entire game first before it allowed this. But I think there was a code to either do it right away, or just get to the end fast so you could start a new game much quicker. I did this over and over. I was so easily amused back then.

I see the Super NES box art of Rival Turf!, and I'm like "Just look at these guys. What is this? From a failed audition to join New Kids on the Block? A magazine ad for Bugle Boy jeans? These guys are straight out of central casting for Salute Your Shorts." And here they are promoting a beat 'em up game.

I just did a video on some Super Famicom wrestling games over on my channel, and while Super Fire Pro Wrestling isn't a bad game, I would say it's one of those cases where there are so many sequels (there are at least NINE Fire Pro games on the Super Famicom) and most of them improve in some way or another. I'd recommend Super Fire Pro X Premium (the last release, but also the most sought-after) or Queen's Special over the original Super Fire Pro. Also, love that Phalanx box art.

On the Stick as a wrestling fan, i think fire pro wrestling is the most versatile,simple and amazing wrestling game, that game aged well not like some wrestling game with outdated wrestlers, in this game, you could just make that character and the pixel art really helps to make it looks like it.

Absolutely agreed! Even the older FiPro games hold up, even if newer ones improve on them.

Not into sports games at all, but if anybody's planning on going to Japan to get a Super Famicom and some games, I've seen some of the games in this series for as little as 30 yen if you shop around.

Metal Marines box art makes perfect sense. The guy is YOU looking over the war zone that you're in command of. There's also misses which is a main feature of the game. The two right arms? ... No I'm asking you cause I have no idea hahaha great video.

7:40 Ah, yes, the Rushing Beat series of beat them ups in Japan. They are a trilogy, you have Rushing Beat, then Rushing Beat Ran - Fukusei Toshi, and finally the third and final game Rushing Beat Shura. The interesting thing is that all three games were published in the USA, but all of them under a different title and none of them with any hint that they were sequels to each other. Rushing Beat was localized as Rival Turf!, Rushing Beat Ran was localized as Brawl Brothers, and finally Rushing Beat Shura was localized as The Peace Keepers. If you played any of those titles in the west you would know that the only things they have in common is that they are beat em ups.

I LOVED Rival Turf. I can still hear the manufacturer screen at the beginning saying “JALLICO!” in a Japanese accent.

We didn't have a choice back then. We either rented or bought based on pictures and descriptions in game magazines at the grocery store or took a blind chance at the video store based on the box art.

I swear... every time I see the cover art to Rival Turf, I think it is a two-on-two streetball game.

I guess maybe the idea behind Phalanx is you're listening to an old Bluegrass ballad about a space battle. Which if one of those doesn't exist yet someone really should get on it.
