    I just saw the official pics at TFW. Arcee looks decent enough, but that Leader Megs looks killer in both modes. Brainstorm was a surprise, and he doesn't look too bad either.

    Some enticing Generations news from Botcon: Arcee is her G1 self, a Leader class Megatron that looks like his G1 form but turns into a tank (ala Legends videogame), and combiner Superion! Well, that's all I found enticing so far...

    Three words: BIG JIM SLADE

    Oh man, that Metroplex looks super awesome...must not cave...

    Was it tweaked to make Wave Rider mode more appealing? It's lankier proportions does make it look quite odd.

    Nothing will beat the glory days of the local Golfland where SF tournaments were a common occurence, and where Capcom would test and showcase their latest offerings. Back then you would've found me at a SF Alpha cabinet or testing my mettle inside a Virtual On machine.

    The renders for that Sunstreaker look promising, which is great because I have a gut feeling that Takara will not be making a MP version. I wonder if it's the same one that Kurisama teased us with in the TF thread?

    It's a little odd to hear Volbeat crank out a poppy song like this, but I still dig it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=CJ48WX9z90A On the other end of the spectrum you got this: Regardless, these guys rock, and if you get a chance to see them live, do it!

    Doraemon combiner? That's hilariously awesome. But c'mon Bandai, do a SOC Mekanda already.

    Dang, the pre-order price for Maketoys' Metroplex/Utopia is $400 . Well, at least at BBTS, but I reckon that'll be a good ballpark figure for it everywhere else. I skipped on Hastak's Metroplex, and I think I'll be skipping on this one too no matter how awesome it is.

    A very considerate loved one recently gifted me with a MG Sinanju! Bad news is that it's the titanium coated version. Now I was never a fan of "special" coatings on any of my kits with all the unsightly nub marks and the mismatch of sheen and unpainted plastic, but heck-free Sinanju, right? I have to admit that after looking over the sprues, the red finish does look glorious. I'm now committed to make this kit look presentable despite the looming difficulty of all the gold trim involved. I've seen a few other builds where MG Sinanjus were blinged out with metal verniers and other parts from "detail-up" add-on kits. Has anyone here had experience with these add-ons? I see several out on Ebay now and am considering getting one.

    Heck yeah. Most of the time the big red button for the special punches was not working or just gone. I never did see a cabinet for the sequel though. That looks like a good time right there. Homebrew Dreamcast game-awesome.

    I never thought an official Nightingale would be made, and in MG form no less. Preordered!

    Soul Spec did great things for Dragonar as well. And I too would be in line for a Zakaal!

    I wouldn't go so far as to say Hasbro stuff is crappy, but I think Mania King will surprise you. Despite the non-articulated wrists, Mania King makes a great Galvatron. It looks real nice with Classics Cyclonus and Scourge to boot.
  16. Valkyrie Hunter D
    I KNEW it! You're holding out on us, Kuri!

    I knew we had a Lazyner thread around here somewhere. Anyways, the upcoming Bandai Soul Spec Layner Mk.II looks pretty dope. Unfortunately, it's also a Tamashii Web exclusive.

    Sweet, Astebreed is now available in English! Astebreed is a Japanese PC mech-based shooter that was initially found in Comiket, and fans of old school gameplay should definitely check it out:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=vhJYt0UL7AQ I got nothing against Burton's take on Batman, but I believe there is still a special place in hell for Joel Schumacher. And I don't think this new version of Batman could get any worse than what Schumacher shat out.
  20. Valkyrie Hunter D
    Nah, it's doesn't need Scourge, it's complete like Hyper Novae. Initially, I think the plans were for it to be just an add-on, but that has definitely changed.

    Maketoys' product catalog has some sweet pics of their Computron and Metroplex. Afterburner's alt mode is a TRON lightcycle...this is awesome.

    Some fighting games require "buffering" buttons (holding one button down as you transition to another). This is far easier to do with separate fingers assigned to a button as opposed to one thumb for say six buttons. Besides, having a dedicated stick at home will prepare you to take on all comers on an arcade cabinet. What I loved about Japanese arcades was that their fighting game cabinets had ports where you could plug in your favorite game pad from your console.

    The Saitek's D pad is fine. I admit I haven't used it for any new game so x input wasn't an issue. But for all emulators I have, it works perfectly. I've never had to use the FPS feature, but as the extra face buttons go, you don't have to use them, and I welcome the use of more buttons.
  24. Valkyrie Hunter D
    It's all personal preference and whatever you're more comfortable with. Personally, using the analog stick is actually more cumbersome than a D pad since my thumb is stretched farther when using the stick as opposed to a D pad where my whole thumb is just resting on top of the pad. When using an arcade stick, you have a solid base, and the stick is much larger than a stumpy analog stick. This allows a variety of grips for your whole hand.

    Of all those games, I've only played Geometry Wars on the 360. It definitely satisfied my twitchy shooter cravings. As for gamepads, I've been using a Saitek P990 for the past 4 years or so, and it's still functioning very well. The D-pad feels smooth and and is perfect for all the emulated 2-D fighters. It can also switch from using the D-pad to the analog sticks at the push of a button.
