Paid £3 to download "The Simpsons Arcade" to my phone. I was misled. It wasn't the actual arcade game. It's a really simple and crappy game where you play as Homer trying to get a doughnut that Smithers ran off with.

Speaking of The Simpsons Arcade game, they should bring the real one to XBLA. 4 player online would be fun.
I only ever played it once when I was on holiday. Some American boy about my age at the time came across to the arcade machine and randomly joined in on my game. Didn't say his name or hang around afterwards. Could have used someone to play against on the other machines. Anyway, It was fun so I'd like to see it for download.

Yeah, completely agree. I'm honestly very surprised it hasn't been released. The best time would have been to coincide with the movie, or even the 20th season.

Also don't understand why there was never a home port on SNES or Genesis.

Though it's a Konami game, and they still need to release Sunset Riders for XBLA/PSN. Fuck, I'd even take a Wii Ware release of the SNES or Genesis port.

EA and Konami would have to work of an agreement for it to come on XBLA/PSN. They did with UbiSoft with TMNT, but EA would probably drive a harder bargain.

Just like it couldn't come on consoles, because Acclaim had the home rights to Simpsosns games, so Konami and Acclaim would have had to agree.

#BROKEN Hasney 09-12-2010 03:10 PM

Speaking of, The Simpsons home computer licenses was a mess. Konami published he PC and Commodore 64 ports of the Simpsons arcade, but Ocean then got the rights and just ported Acclaims Bart Vs. the Space Mutants to home computers.

I would want X-Men before The Simpsons, tbh.

Please, Nintendo, release the Mario 25th anniversary collection in the West. Not for the games, we've got those, thanks. Just for the box.

This fetching art adorns the special bundle for Nintendo's Mario 25th Anniversary bundle for the Wii, which includes Super Mario All Stars (a compilation of early Mario games first released on the Super Nintendo), a soundtrack CD and a DVD detailing the history of Nintendo's mascot.

It'll be out October 21 in Japan, and cost ¥2,500 (USD$30).

You didn't get cheated, you just didn't do research.

Drakul 09-13-2010 08:57 AM

I didn't say I was cheated. I said I was misled.
Each game, before you download, has a screenshot. The screenshot for the game I downloaded was Homer and Bart in a mansion level, fighting FBI agents. Homer had a large mallet weapon and I forget what Bart was doing.
The sprites were decent quality and everything.

What I got when I downloaded the game was tiny, badly drawn sprites, no weapons, no character select, no variation in the levels (all just seem to be generic streets) or enemies and bad midi music that doesn't loop.

Xero 09-13-2010 09:02 AM

Would easily buy that Mario collection if it were released here.

Kane Knight 09-13-2010 09:15 AM

Fine, you weren't misled.

Kane Knight 09-13-2010 09:23 AM

From Youtube alone, I can tell not all the missions are generic street missions.

They probably won't release it here until next year since that would be the 25th anniversary of Super Mario Bros in the US (March 1986).

Yeah, makes sense.

I'd like to see 3DS version of Mario All Stars. Honestly, that would probably sell me on the system.

Action Arcade Wrestling is up on XBox live Indie Games.

D Mac 09-13-2010 03:13 PM

Not bad for a buck.

Emperor Smeat 09-13-2010 07:09 PM

THQ announces a few vague release dates for certain games for their 2011 schedule. The upcoming Red Faction Armageddon is set for a May 2011 release date while Saints Row 3 set to be released around the same time frame as the annual WWE Smackdown vs Raw game (Fall 2011).

Tthe next UFC game set for a Winter 2012 date but could also be the very last UFC game made by THQ. Their original deal with UFC only goes up to 2012 and might not be renewed due to THQ having huge financial losses this year and lower than expected sales for UFC 2010.

Define "not bad."

It feels like a cheap version of Fire Pro Wrestling. But that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Resident Evil: Damnation, the sequel to the CGI movie Degeneration, is happening. This is awesome news.

alvarado52 09-14-2010 04:07 PM

i didnt like Degeneration...and this is coming from someone who is a die hard RE fan.

Emperor Smeat 09-14-2010 04:51 PM

Sony patents add-on device to play PS2 games on the non-PS2 compatible PS3 models. Originally Sony took out PS2 compatibility as a way to save money and now want to have consumers pay for the ability to play PS2 games for any PS3 model.

The device itself is basically a mini-PS2 and doesn't use the PS3 CPU and GPU to play PS2 games since it has its own decoders and processors.

Pieces are beginning to fall into place for a likely reveal of Devil May Cry 5 as Capcom registers the trademark mere days before the start of the Tokyo Game Show.

The news comes (via vg24/7) as Ninja Theory – the UK development team heavily rumoured to be behind the series reboot – tweets that its new game is to be revealed at the show this week.
Oh god I hope NT 'gets it'.

It's just been revealed. Trailer should be online soon.

After promising Frank West's fate would be explained in Case Zero and then not occurring, Capcom announces a new DLC chapter called Dead Rising 2: Case West.

The DLC is 2 player co-op where West and Chuck are playable characters and might explain what happened to Frank West after the 1st game and how he met Chuck.

Case West as of now is exclusive to Xbox 360 but no date announced for release. Its assumed the pricing would be the same as Case Zero ($5 or 400 MS points).

I bet people still bitch and call it a paid demo of DR2.

Xero 09-15-2010 12:00 PM

Pretty bait and switch not to explain what happens to him. "Paid demo" or not, that's false advertising.

Emperor Smeat 09-15-2010 12:17 PM

Originally Capcom wanted Frank West to either be a cameo or explain what happened to him very early into Dead Rising 2.

Then they decided to hint at his story being in told in Case Zero and why Chuck is the new character.

Now it looks like he's going to be playable in Case West but no guarantee his story gets told in this DLC chapter.

#BROKEN Hasney 09-15-2010 12:31 PM

I don't understand. Capcom moving development out west has been a total failure so far and Konami haven't fared much better.

What the hell are they playing at?

This does have some benefits, such as not needing to run a separate cable to your TV.

However, it best be damn cheap to make even those benefits worth the cost.

I can't believe McWhertor was right, but there it is in our E3 2010 predictions post: "Steel Battalion is revealed as Capcom's core Natal game." We all laughed and laughed, and now Capcom and From Software make the rest of us look silly with this new version of the mech game so complicated it required its own complicated and costly controller to play.

Capcom and From Software are collaborating on the new title, set in a 2082 without computers, which explains the gritty, World War II style. From the official press release:

"Manhattan, 2082: In a world where computers and almost all modern technology have been lost, the greatest nations of the world continue to battle for supremacy. The American army lands in New York to begin its first big offensive of a long ground war. Soldiers fire from the trenches as scorched bunkers belch black smoke. As comrades continually fall to the unrelenting crossfire of bullets, the Vertical Tanks make their relentless advance. Experience the battlefield as never before with Kinect for Xbox 360."

Inafune was light on the details, but since this is a Microsoft Kinect game, we're guessing that this time around you'll be taking on the role of the unwieldy, expensive controller.

LOL
