    Whilst I've enjoyed the epic Analogue Frontiers and Mister videos, I also like these old-style MLiG videos where you guys just talk about some games you're interested in, or that have some meaning to you. Even when some of them aren't very good! (I know things get much better with Sega Ages once M2 get on board)

    It's not the violence. It's supreme technical violence. It's the delayed violence. He doesn't just punch their heads off. He hits pressure points and infuses them with his ki and then waits and seconds later they explode. There are loads of violent shows but few have poetic violence of Fist of the north star.
    You come for the combat and stay for the drama.

      Ask Yuji Naka's former co-workers what they think of him. Apparently, he's a bad case of "never meet your heroes", and it's no wonder Sega of Japan and Sega of America both had problems with him during the Genesis era.
      He'd later go on to screw over both the X-Treme team and a Dreamcast developer.

    Great as always!!! Good games, however, are relative to a Gamer's taste. Puzzle, Sports & Racing games get a bad rap, low coverage and sometimes a fair bit of hatred. Some simulation Sports & Racing titles are akin to RPGs in how you customize and then head into action, but that is almost never considered. Decathlete and Winter Heat are former STV-Titan arcade games and are in my opinion some of the best examples of Arcade-Style sports titles ported to the Saturn. In the case of Decathlete, I'm not sure if a Sports title tops it on the Saturn. Pickup, play, practice and master is the name of the game. The PS2 Sega Ages is a nice combination of 3 games, but Decathlete and Winter Heat more than stand on their own in my humble arcade loving opinion. Your channel is truly one of the best.

    @kernsanders3973 2 года назад +1

    The 2000s were seriously underrated in how much companies respected their IPs, that when they made remake's they actually stayed faithful to the originals. Today the word remake brings up so many red flags and it's not surprising to find out that usually entails changing content to make it more watered down or even censored. Hokuto No Ken would struggle to be made today, censorship laws alone in japan has gotten extremely strict. This can even be seen in their 2000s OVAs and movies, where it almost seems in the last few released the violence was completely cut from them. Which is funny when right after I watched the original series and the later OVAs couldn't compare to violence of the original series that aired on TV.

    • @KasumiKenshirou
      @KasumiKenshirou 2 года назад +2

      Now there are instances where the Japanese versions of games are more censored than the US versions, which is opposite of how it used to be. The TV anime in Japan is usually censored, but you can buy the uncensored version on Blu-Ray.

    Regarding language barriers, there are plenty of translation apps including Google and Bing that will overlay translations over any text in a chosen language. It's not perfect, but it's better than nothing when trying to navigate or understand what's going on.
