Rockman X (Megaman X) Anniversary (Legacy) Collection Vol 1 rant Nintendo Switch version.

Image
So it's been 25 years since the release of the original Rockman X (Megaman) game on the Snes. As the years went by, 7 direct sequels followed. Capcom eventually released the Megaman X collection which featured MegaMan X1-6 plus a Megaman racing game all-in-one disc back in 2005 for the PS2 and Gamecube (the version I own). X7 and X8 were a little new to the PS2 at the time so both games were not included. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mega_Man_X_Collection So what makes this new release awesome or not? This time to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Megaman X, Capcom released all 8 X games halved in two discs (PS4 and Xbox one); basically X 1-4 on disc 1 and X 5-8 on disc 2. Owners of the Switch version lucked out due to the fact X5-8 were downloadable only with a code after you bought a copy of the game whose cartridge contains only X1-4. However, to remedy this for those that want physical copies of the game, you can purchase the Rockman X Anniversary collection Volume ...

Nintendo Switch: Squareboy vs Bullies: Arena Edition Review!

Hiya Folks, today I am going to do something a little different. Long story cut short; my family bought me a Neon Nintendo Switch for Christmas. Super Mario Odyssey was the only game I was playing for a while (good game btw). I finally decided to go to Nintendo's E-Shop to purchase more games to get me occupied momentarily till I get Legend of Zelda or maybe even Street Fighter's 30 anniversary collection. So first game I purchase was Squareboy vs Bullies: Arena Edition. How did it fare? let's get started! Gameplay and storyline: You play as the character named, well, try guess? Squareboy! SB gets bullied by the bullies (yes, that is their gang name) and he seeks revenge by training with a dojo master he refers to as just sensei. SB takes the streets and beats up his attackers. Eventually, we discover ninja bullies are involved and due to SB's interference, his sensei's dojo is trashed and SB thirsts for more justice! You end up fighting on a ship deck and const...

Resident Evil Vendetta quick review 6/19 one night in theaters

Image
Property of Sony pictures Haven't done a movie review for a long time, so I had one night to get out of my sick bed and what I do? Watch the latest Resident Evil movie that is not based on the Milla Jovovich franchise. Well, I won't get much into plot details but I will state the goods and the bads in a jippy. *May contain some spoilers* The film takes place in between Resident Evil 6 and 7 the video games. + Leon and Chris are back and together and they form an unstoppable tag team (like most of you fans can't figure this out.) + The action is top notch; prior to the film there is a quick 10-15 documentary on how they filmed this movie using the extensive technique of motion capture. The action can be anywhere to awesome to incredibly insane; the Leon/dogs chase scene is one of them. Just over-the-top chase with a hilarious finish. + Leon's first meet up with Chris and Rebecca is a nice touch. If you went through what Leon did in his past history, y...

Gamestop white Gamecube controller review

Image
Well, I didn't want to do this review but after playing my favorite game: Megaman X collection on my Wii, I felt like i had to. First off, I'm not sure if Gamestop still sells this controller anymore because it is roughly about two years old. I bought it for $14.99 and did not open the product until somewhere a few months ago. I decided to revisit Mario 64 I downloaded from the Wii shop. The result was a disaster because my character couldn't stop moving left. As soon as you touch the joystick, your character automatically moves left. You have to pull the joystick up a little just to get your character to stop moving. As soon as you slightly touch the stick, your character moves left again. I had to buy the Mario controller I reviewed then. The official Nintendo products work like a charm! Now, I decided to play the Megaman x collection for the Gamecube on the Wii. Here is where the headaches spawn. Don't touch the joystick again other wise you will move left a...

Mario Wii U Fightpad controller Quick review

Image
I decided to pick this up after my Gamestop Gamecube controller wasn't functioning properly. When playing any game, the characters would always venture left and I had to keep popping the joystick back up or toggle with it till the character stopped moving. When I pressed on the joystick, the character just went "left" all over again. This is the 2nd time that Gamestop controllers had given me issues. I finally decided to just go to Wal-Mart and pick up a Nintendo brand controller; I had a classic controller but one day a bunch of ants decided to hibernate in the handheld. I fumigated the controller, took it apart, killed the remaining ants, and put the controller back together short after. Surprisingly, the controller still worked though the down button on the Dpad is very stiff now. If one button is out of order, I simply replace the controller. I'm that strict, yes, i know. Box Covers     Looks good. No complaints here. The only version they had in m...

A step into the past: Street Fighter IV Collector's Edition (2010)! Not a Review!

Image
I was browsing through my old Flickr account which I haven't used in years and came across this. Wow, I kinda forgot I had all this which is in storage right now. Though I don't have time to play games much these days, I remember having a blast with Street Fighter IV and Super Street Fighter IV. Let the pics do the talking. The headband is a gamestop pre-order bonus. Yes, and let me rant on Gamestop on that day. Gamestop didn't get the shipment on the day of release and they rudely told all their customers that because we live in Hawaii, shipping was delayed. The guy didn't want to help any one at all by the look of his expression. Load of monkey manure because I used to work retail and I tell you games, especially popular games, we would receive them nearly a week or a month in advance. Gamestop always manages to piss customers off. To make it worse, lying when you could had just said "sorry, we didn't get the shipment in yet." What's hard about telli...

Xbox 360 Rock Candy controller for the Xbox 360 review

Image
Ever since my PS 3 broke down over two years ago, I've been reduced to watching Youtube videos of Resident Evil 5 gameplay. I ended up getting Resident Evil 5 on the PC after all because I enjoyed it a lot on the PS 3. However, gameplay was slow because I had a weak Athlon 3000 XP processor chip. My vid card finally gave out prompting me to buy a new comp, one that has a superior processor plus vid card. I did not want to play Resident Evil 5 using a keyboard though you had precise aiming with the mouse. So I went to my nearest Target and picked this up for $24.99 plus tax. I never really played Xbox in my life. It was all Nintendo and Sony for me. So the Rock candy controller is pretty much my first experience dealing with the Xbox 360, and the controller works very well for Resident Evil 5 . As you can tell it is also PC-USB compatible. The control layout is easy to use and is almost similar to the PS 3 controller albeit a bit bulkier. The controls I used for Re...
