China Warrior is basically Kung Fu Master but with oversized sprites and levels that go on wayyyy toooo longgggg. I can't even imagine getting more than 5 minutes of enjoyment out of it.
You're doing that thing again where you're just repeating that something is "bad" without explaining how. How is the level design "worse." Why are the chibi graphics "horrible." How is the platforming "super meh"?
No, I seriously have not heard people praise it before. And I'm not saying it's "absolute putrid shit" - but I *am* putting the brakes on the runaway praise for freaking Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu. It just seems like a very basic game, like Karate Kid. I have a memory of running around punching frogs. It really was not that fun.
This is fair, I didn't realize this discrepancy.
You need to majorly relax and learn how to deal with opinions that differ from yours. Is this the first time you've encountered someone just not liking something? Do I need a reason to dislike chibi graphics before you find it satisfactory that I have this opinion? They look cutesy and childish and usually are coupled with very simplistic game play. There. The levels got expanded in the PC Engine version and it dragged on. I never played the NES version, but I do remember being quite bored and thinking the game was dragging and getting repetititve, and I learned about the additions and thought that explanation made sense. And no I'm not the only one who thinks this. (Link is to fan of the game who mentions this in his playthrough).
Japan specific game selection is standard, and I don't remember any strictly new localizations for these machines (MW4 was localized for gen 7 downloads already).
I played the C64 version of Rainbow Islands quite a lot in my day. Just like Bubble Bobble before it, it was a pretty good port!
OG PC-Engine is so cute, it's the only console I'd ever wanted to hug.
I think Out Run will be a tricky one because of the Ferrari logo on the car. Sure, the car was changed for the arcade ports of Out Run, but I don't see that happening for this mini console.
No? These plug n play systems have been around and have been popular for like two decades.
Ah, that's good to know, thanks.
I have to admit I also really like the look of the TurboGrafx-16. And I've only ever played on the PC Engine, so no nostalgia goggles here.
