So the gaming market circa 1990 is exactly like the one now? I'll be damned. You're the jibbering retard if you think Contra or Metal Slug is ever coming back from the DS horse shit, especially when dumb fucks buy it.Quote:

The only viable argument I have heard on this topic is from Frogacuda, who says that hand-drawn 2D would cease to exist if it weren't for the DS games. That might be true. Your argument is worthless.
Nobody ever thought there'd be another 2D Contra after the horseshit on PS1, and even after a single decent PS2 game and that Neo Contra shit. Now that they've got it, they don't want it. Metal Slug Advance didn't prevent Metal Slug 6 from coming out. (durhur the game market in 2004 wasn't like the one today oh no) If Metal Slug 7 didn't have a main series title, you'd still hate it, even if it was better than 6 and most of the series after 3.
What part of numbered sequels in the main series does your dumb ass fail to understand? The fact that Metal Slug 4-6 were all sub-par doesn't excuse a still-born concept of moving it to a portable and completely eliminating any chance of it surpassing 1, X, and 3.
Don't act like a lack of a main series number has stopped you from attacking a DS title before.Quote:

Instead, we see an endless supply of cash runs from developers who now won't risk the development costs of a real game and instead try to relive 1995 with nowhere near the aptitude they had then.
At least the Wii gets us all the way up to 8 years ago.
Correction: I should have said publishers, not developers.
Ok, let's put it this way. Handheld gaming only kills series that already committed suicide on consoles, or have no relevance in 3D gaming. 20 year old franchises that are better left in some way resembling their original gameplay rather than be "reimagined" into something has nothing to do with the original.Quote:

Nothing magical happened between Symphony of the Night and Circle of the Moon to indicate that another console game would fail commercially.Quote:
