In the letter, he took the editors of VG & CE to task for not being excited enough in their writing, for not being real gamers and for getting the inner workings of the Power Base Converter wrong. Their response is nearly as long as Joe's missive, where they try to stick up for themselves... clearly a nerve was struck.

Can you upload a scan of that?

Also for some reason he reminds me of the axe murderer from Last Action Hero. Not a very nice comparison, given how fugly that guy was.

I believe a swift riposte is in order here. Where's Joe?

Eh, who cares? I don't think his opinion is a very informed one, but it's still his opinion.

Yeah, the "Nintendo Guy" talks as much shit as whoever the hell that other guy is.

Besides, everyone knows they're both a couple of clowns! Did you see that collection/room tour video? Don't they know they can emulate all those games for free??? What a couple of suckers!

He has a habit of posting some seriously harsh opinions. He still likes the show so whatever.

Another great episode!!

Alex Kidd sequel FTW!!!!!!! :rock::rock::rock::rock:

I've always had a soft spot for XIII

This game def had some hype about it back in the day. It's a really stylish cel-shaded shooter.

With a little more polish this had the potential to have turned out a top franchise. Sadly the closest to any kind of follow-up game came in the form of a point-and-click adventure.

Cool ep, but I couldn't help but think "be careful what you wish for" over and over again. :)

Speaking of obscure but interesting FPS games I always wanted a Shogo: Mobile Armor Division sequel.

I bought the 2D side-scrolling cell phone sequel, and it was actually pretty decent.

Nice episode. Some of the games were a tad too "neo" for what I've come to expect from Game Sack, but it seems like many of the obvious titles (count how many "OMG DEMON'S CREST!!!!!11!!" comments this episode is likely to get) have already been covered in previous videos.

But I love the Loco Roco soundtrack, Dave. And I rock it on my iPhone.*










*...with headphones

I really hate when people that comment on their videos say crap like "I can't believe you didn't include [game title here]!!!" I mean everyone should know by now that they like to revisit episodes they have done in the past to include more games.

We've been getting a ton of Shenmue 3 comments. "OMG being a Sega fanboy i am sooo dispoointed no shemnue 3 unscubribe!"

That one would have been too easy. Maybe next time, maybe not. I say maybe not because I'm already starting to tire of the Shenmue 3 comments.

When I saw Popful Mail, I was hoping you'd at least give a shout out to the Lunar series being worthy of a proper sequel (Dragon Song doesn't count). Maybe in a future ep...

The games that need a new/true sequel? My thoughts are...

Thunder Force- TFVI doesn't count as a sequel, as it feels more like a "best of" or "homage" game in ways. And the horrid Broken Thunder doesn't count either. This series shouldn't be left to rot after a fan-made game that sucked, and an official product that was mediocre.
Descent- The first two games rocked, and the third one wasn't bad either. It's time for a new entry, assuming anyone remembers who owns the rights to it anymore.
MechWarrior- I have no idea what happened with the reboot that was talked about, but it's time for MechWarrior V to see the light of day.
Hexen- It (and its sequel) got bogged down at times with the back and forthing between maps, but this was a big, fun game series that needs a third entry (even though the three Serpent Riders are gone).
Panzer Dragoon Saga- The sequel needs to be made. Period.
Unreal- I know a lot of people weren't thrilled with the second game, but I enjoyed the first two games. And given the ending in part II, we really need a third game to find out what the hell happened.
Dead Space- So help me, if this series gets shelved because of EA's unrealistic sales goals, I'm going to cry like a little bitch. The ending from the DLC "Awakened" needs to be followed up on.
Darkstalkers- They were setting some serious shit up with the third game, and then... nothing. Come on Capcom. Stopping focusing on so-so franchises like Lost Planet, and give this great fighting series more love.
Einhander- It'll never, ever happen. SE is too busy suckling from the Final Fantasy tit to do anything else. But wouldn't it be cool?
