War for Cybertron Earthrise Grapple vs RTS Grappel (Grapple)

I finally got around to doing this shot. Who looks better? You be the judge. If I have to say something, RTS Grapple is still impressive after all these years.          

Transformers War for Cybertron Earthrise WFC-E10 Grapple review!

                                                       After a long delay, I finally finished at least a small part of Grapple's review. Thanks to work and other activities, I was having trouble finishing up this shoot but it is done for the most part. Lets get started. In the box     That is your standard WFC Siege or Earthrise packaging. I won't dwell much here. Nice artwork like usual. Robot mode:               Grapple looks fantastic. He has his G1 head guard. He has the right colors, vibrant orange to be exact. You can pretty much use his rifle, hose blaster, and hook and peg it anywhere that has the 5mm hole; including the bottom of his feet, I kid you not. His hand folds for those who are wondering. Use your imaginati...

Street Fighter 30th Anniversary collection Switch quickie.

Image
Other besides the historical facts, artwork and other memorabilia the special features give you in the collection, this is just a quick take on all the games featured in the collection. *Bonus* Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers:  A nice update of Super Street Fighter II turbo. You can either play HD or the classic gameplay with original or updated sounds. The gameplay is modified as well so if you are used to exploiting the CPU weakness in the original SSFIIT, think again because it no longer works here. However, the CPU is no where near as cheap as the original SSFIIT CPU. The collection: Street Fighter: The original. Moves are hard to pull off. Worth a play or two because you'll be focusing on SFII and beyond. Street Fighter II: The World Warrior:   The game that revolutionized fighting games. Its a classic and that's all I have to say. Street Fighter II: Champion Edition (Dash in Japan): The updated SFII which allows you to play as the gr...

HORI Nintendo Switch Fighting Stick Mini - Street Fighter II™ Edition (Ryu & Ken) Officially Licensed by Nintendo & Capcom look and quick review

Image
My first official Hori product.      Out of the box:   It was either this or the Chun-Li/Cammy combo. Of course we want Ryu and Ken. Designed for the Nintendo Switch though it will work on the PC since it is USB based. As for the Joystick, it works really fine. It uses the square gate that is famous for fighting fanatics these days. The buttons are sturdy and 95% of the time the controls are very responsive though I have difficulty sometimes doing a super move from time to time. However, the negative drawback is that it is a mini stick, so if you have big hands, then this joystick may not be for you. Also, I tend to place the joystick on my lap sometimes and due to its featherweight, it might find itself slipping off. Overall, its a good joystick. Its easier to carry around then the bigger joysticks most pro gamers bring with them. I was amazed too by how great the controls turned out. This is worth a go getting if you ...
