dont you find the more you play new games , the more old games kinda suck ?

btw I believe that with the technology we have today you should be able to save anywhere or not at all. Saves shouldn't be some annoying plot device to artificially increase the difficulty (a la Resident Evil)

I like the whole idea of finish a level and you can save. But saving anywhere turns it into a save state run sort of thing, and anyone can say they beat a hard game simply because they put enough time into it. Save anywhere only really works in sandbox games, it kind of hampers other genres.

I enjoy the way the save system is set in Resident Evil and Dead Rising. It definitely makes you more worried about dying. I don't like auto saves because it takes away the risk/reward system of games. It's kinda like the old arcade days where I showed up with my weekly allowance for helping out around the house and I had to make it last as long as possible.

My 15 yoear old brother says:

So I'd just played through Metroid 2 for the GB and then decided to try metroid prime for the GC and got annoyed rather quickly, especially how you start fully equiped and then loose all you power-ups at th ebeginning of the game.

I gues he doesn't like a tease, that sounds liek what happens with Alucard in Symphony of Night. (hey, Metroid... Metroidvania )

i think golden eye sucks a bit now is because it doesn't have 2 joysticks , the game needs to get remade with better controls

I recall this game having a setting where you can use two controllers at the same time. Having two triggers, two joysticks, and the A&B button to use on one of them.

are you sure about that ? what controller with 2 joysticks would fit in a N64

There was going to be an Xbox Live Arcade remake back in January 2008, but Nintendo threw a pissy fit and killed it.

It's ashame, the game was complete too. It's sorta the same situation that happened with the Dreamcast's port of Half-Life. Except instead of the console's death, Nintendo wanted too big a cut of the profits because they previously owned Rare and it would've left Microsoft and Rare with little in return.

Go read about it, It's all over the internet.

i know , theres even a online petition

Two N64 controllers. You can hold the middle prong with either hand; thus, you can hold two controllers for dual joystick control. I don't remember doing it with Goldeneye, but I'd imagine it sucks because A and B aren't that easy to reach. But it's great for Robotron 64.

[kool kitty89]

I prefer digital control for robotron personally. (ie D-pad plus c-buttons)

[j_factor]

I don't like using four buttons to shoot in all directions. I need a stick. I could do d-pad plus stick for that game, but I don't remember if that's an option.

[zetastrike]

Yep. The PS1 version is the same way... which shouldn't be surprising, since the PS1 version was ported to the Saturn (poorly). Supposedly the Japanese Saturn version was optimized better than the U.S. version, but I've never gotten to see it in action.

Doom was released in Japan? That's not a game that would strike me as being very interesting to the Japanese.

I suddenly ... feel old.

This.

Heh, for chrismass my brother (15) and I (20) got no current games, but a game shark for N64 (new in box), Kirby Super Star, Journey Escape, and Pitfall II for the VCS.
