Isn't this kind of circumnavigating the purpose of Jonny blocking your ability to see the votes?

That's the point.

Does that make me Vudu's partner in crime?

I voted Wave Race 64 because I kinda want to rebuy the game on the VC for the higher resolution. And this would be a good excuse.

MAN BEAM !!!!!!!!!!!

NovaQ · « **Reply #30 on:** April 05, 2009, 06:53:18 PM »

What's this? Man-beams tied with Ninja? Never!!

To help better inform those unlearned in the ways of the ninja, I channel the words of vudu:

I'd like to nominate Ninja Spirit. It's a platformer for the TG-16 meaning it's perfect because no one's ever played it before. It's fairly similar to Ninja Gaiden, but much more playable from what I hear (read: it doesn't have a bat**** insane difficulty level).

It has been recommended by Jeremy Parish as well as our own Steven Rodriguez.

Fun fact: It was the first game to ever receive a perfect 10 from EGM.

Another point that Ninja Spirit has over Man-Beamage is that NS hasn't been talked about repeatedly over several podcasts, so a discussion of it by the RFN crew wouldn't feel as redundant.

The ninja's soul still burns. I mean spirit. Vote NS.

I voted for SG&G which has 5 votes now.Ninja Spirit has 5.DD and WR64 has 4 while CA has 6.

Stratos · « **Reply #32 on:** April 09, 2009, 06:45:29 PM »

This is a close race. Go Ninja Spirit!

CHO ANIKI!!!!!
I'm in shock that it's currently winning. I want an excuse to download this game.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #34 on:** April 09, 2009, 07:27:57 PM »

Greg's reaction will be well worth Cho Aniki winning.

SD solution solution makes this easier to download too. :-)

Equally so with Ninja.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #37 on:** April 10, 2009, 12:50:06 PM »

I wonder if Lindy will get jealous if Cho Aniki wins? It will no longer be just him that experienced the magic of the man beam.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #38 on:** April 10, 2009, 12:51:44 PM »

This vote is really even. I won't reveal which ones (the whole point is to keep it a surprise) but one game has 8 votes, one has 7 votes and the other three each have 6 votes.

D_Average · « **Reply #39 on:** April 10, 2009, 02:58:38 PM »

Yes, just gave Waverace the edge!!

adadad · « **Reply #42 on:** April 10, 2009, 07:47:57 PM »

Well it was a tough choice, but having just completed Cho Aniki the other day it seems right to vote for it! Everyone should give it a shot, it's a decent shoot em up, relaxing more than anything else, and the music is fucking fantastic. It's an easy game to crack jokes about but there's a good game there (my advice for newcomers is to forget the female protagonist and always use the male). Levels are repetitive, and it took me a while to get used to the beam mechanic of it firing when you let go of the fire button, but I feel the game succeeds ultimately in spite of its flaws.

There's a certain flow to it that is unusual - only having 2 lives for a given level, and all the levels are pretty long with at least one miniboss and a main one at the end mean plenty of failed attempts when the difficulty ramps up. Also what is it with all the T16 shooters having adjustable ship speed? Despite there being a number of speed levels (I think there are 4 or so), I couldn't find one that suited me, there was only too slow or too quick. On the plus side the enemies you come across are brilliantly designed, essentially they are inanimate objects given human features in a surreal mashup, and the backrounds are suitably strange too - my favourite is the cathedral exterior that must be several tens of miles long!

Anyway maybe this is the wrong thread to put these thoughts, but anyway it'd be good to hear some hopefully serious discussion about the game so I recommend voting for it and giving this game a chance! Not even gonna touch the homoerotic stuff, I'll just say that the continue screen countdown is good for a laugh.

I don't see anyone on the boards talking about Drill Dozer, but it's the title I would most like to see.

Drill Dozer would be the perfect choice because it is:
-- unique and interesting
-- still available cheaply
-- portable, making it easy to play while on the move (or on the toilet)
-- one of the GBAs "hidden gems" that never got the attention it probably deserved
-- better to play GBA titles now while we still can, since the system is no longer supported with the DSi

C'mon portable fans! Let's give this title a shot!

NWR_Neal · « **Reply #44 on:** April 13, 2009, 08:31:23 PM »

Go Go Man BEAMS!!!

Snipper64 · « **Reply #45 on:** April 13, 2009, 08:33:36 PM »

Yay! The man beam is in fact cutting through the crowd! Woot!

Ninja Spirit (TG-16) 6 (14%)
Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts (SNES) 9 (20.9%)
Drill Dozer (GBA)* 8 (18.6%)
Wave Race 64 (N64) 9 (20.9%)
Cho Aniki (TurboCD) 11 (25.6%)

lol, you have to admit, this game (Cho Aniki) May not be the over all most classsic or funnist to play, but this game sounds SO ZANY I NEED to know more about it. I tried watching youtube vids, but they all are junk, I want it straight from the podcast crew mouths, you guys rock!
