    Thanks for checking out the first episode of Retail Reviews. Mr. Lobo just threw us into this store haphazardly but it will all be coming together soon with in-store products and rare items from my own collection for sale soon! (And obviously, this is a joke. We're all friends and I don't hate the Genesis Mini as we stated in the end credits) 😉 -Mike
    Note: We're aware the audio wasn't the best on this episode. This is our first time filming in this location and it's not perfected yet. Hopefully by Episode 3 we'll have it more sorted out.

      Hey could you do the Neo Geo mini next. It gets so much hate but I love my Neo Geo Mini. Comparing the mini to the astronomical prices of Neo Geo systems and games it's a decent buy.

      Hey Mike, something you should know about Mega Man wily wars on this is M2 have removed the horrendous slowdown that plagued the original release... Plus this game normally goes for silly money on eBay for a legit copy so it's worth the price alone. Love the new rental reviews series as well.. I will be following.

    Just because it takes cartridges does NOT mean it is not emulated.
    A cartridge is just data storage. It doesn't do the processing. The processing can still be emulated on dissimilar hardware processors or on original processors.
    Likewise, games stored on floppy, flash memory, or other non-official storage isn't necessarily emulated. It is just a storage medium. The processor type is what determines if it is being emulated or not.

There is a 4th game that is unlocked after you beat the other 3, with 3 new Robot Masters, and another Wily's Castle set of Stages. You can also mix and match any special weapon from Mega Man 1-3 for each stage, too.

      The rare games are obscure and could hurt sales.

      Tony explained to me the reason for the new rooms. It was to prevent camera problems and so that equipment didn't get in the way. So relax, The video room in James's basement isn't going anywhere.

    I miss the days when Mike and James would just do a "RE-view" as they showed game footage. Not digging the movie or game reviews with them showing them and their friends talk about it like they're on The View. It feels more intimate when it feels like it's just you and Mike/James.

    James's wife got tired of having all these bums in her basement so Cinemassacre Inc had to find a new place where they could shoot their videos. They got a great deal at their local mall, since Amazon killed all stores. They could buy the whole mall for a Big Mac & Cheese.
    But James & Mike I have to tell you using the original store inventory as prop feels cheap.

    I like Mike. I could tell he's a little nervous starting his own segment, who wouldn't be. I would recommend he be a little more positive and genuine. Sometimes I feel he's waiting for people to stop talking just so he can talk instead of actually listening. And maybe have a little more structure to the episode, it feels very like he's winging it. But I think it's the nerves really, eventually he'll iron out the hosting gig. But overall I like the video. Keep up the good work dude.

      If they did a dreamcast one and it had 3s mvc1&2 and cvs2 with a random selection of other games I'd drop 200 on it
