Each company was ranked "based on perceptions in their home countries."
I'd assume that when they were talking about Nintendo in this case, they mean Japan then? Are the Japanese more forgiving masochistic than us Westerners? Imagine if they polled people in Japan, how they feel about Apple?

Well, I'll always have my fond memories of the Duke Nukem games, even the original 2d side scrollers. Shadow Warrior and Blood were cool too.
Maybe the mod-community can pitch in and do what 3d realms couldn't?

*puts on lawyer suit*
My client cannot afford to work 8 hours straight without suffering serious adverse health risks.
My client tells me when he does ask for orders, management berates them for not able to figure it out himself.
No evidence has been presented to the court to prove this claim.
My client is not a robot. Speaking of robots, I would to like to present to the court photographic and video evidence that management has been researching in creating a robotic version of my client, violating contractual agreements between my client and management.
My client states that he leaves usually leaves a towel so that the janitor can clean up. yeah, I got nothing..
It is management's job to enforce safety regulations. If management dictates that my client has not followed safety regulations, than management can either A)provide protective clothing B) assign him another work area C)Be sent home.
There are medications that allow my client to work well after 65, management is also fully aware of this. That is more than I can say for management however.
My client claims that on certain occasions, he can work double shifts, but productivity during the second shift will be less than the first.
It has been documented that some tasks dictated by management cannot be completed in the allotted time, and there is no overtime policy. However, my client would like to discuss such policy..
These allegations are baseless and without merit. It is a well known fact that these 'suspicious' looking bags are in fact, a work-aid for my client, which is responsible for his success despite such dangerous conditions.

Wasn't that one a massively hyped near launch game that was pretty much the only reason to buy a PS3 that early?
Heavenly Sword launched in the US in the Fall of '07 I believe, just a little under a year since the PS3 launch. It seemed to have a rough start I guess it had some legs to sell 1 million(Here's a rough guess.) Though it too, was a bit on the short side... [/off topic]
I guess we should be happy if Madworld reaches half a million then?

That'll just get them fined and the game pulled off the shelves.
That happened in 2005 with a different game for a different reason .
What I was talking about was the old MK1 Genesis vs SNES version. The Genesis version didn't have blood in it by default, but you can input a code to enable it. Don't remember that one being told to be toned down or face de-shelving...

Smash Brothers doesn't have blood and IGN's 'Trick' trailer shows how ridiculous blood would be in some games.

Samurai Shodown anthology got a Teen rating for its use of 'animated' blood. I'm guessing since Red Steel 2 is going for some sort of realism, a realistic depiction of blood is an automatic M rating? And the difference between the two types of blood is...?

« on: April 21, 2009, 11:54:40 PM »
After a bit of a false start, (the game was released, but no brick and mortar stores carried it the first week in my area), I picked it up. Yes it exists, and yes, its still good after all these years.
Right off the bat, there's no widescreen support. If that's an issue, you've been warned. Also worth noting, there was no pixelation, at least on my TV. I quickly ran one of my VC games just to make sure it wasn't my eyes, but no, SNK must've did something.
Other than that, I put the first Samurai Shodown through its paces. You definatley want the classic controller for this one, or the Hori Stick if you're that dedicated. Buttons are customizable, you can use the d-pad or the analog stick if that's your thing. Controls are silky smooth on the CC, no complaints here.
From what I've gathered, loading the first Samurai Shodown is a mixture of the arcade and Neo Geo console version. The red blood is there (the Neo Geo version had white blood), you have unlimited continues (the Neo Geo version gave a set amount) and can set the difficulty a la home version. Though I never figured out what MVS meant... There's also a practice mode for Samurai Shodown I-V, with customizable settings, so you can learn the nuances of each game.
Those expecting to just jump in and slash and kick your way through will be disappointed. You have to look for openings and counters while not leaving yourself open. Long before Smash Bros, there's a person who runs across the screen either giving points, health, or a bomb (In part I and II at least, haven't checked the rest yet). This doesn't happen often, but if you're a super orthodox tightwad purist, know that it happens. Deal with it.
Move lists are available at the pause menu, though its a bit spartan. Its as if they just plastered it on the screen and called it a day.
Sounds are intact, though I notice that the soundtrack sounds clearer than the sound effects, at least in Samurai Shodown I and II. There's also an arranged mode if you want to hear these tracks using real instruments, but if you're a stickler for the original, you can ignore it.
After beating Samurai Shodown one with one of the characters, I'm impressed that A) The game has aged relatively well B) SNK didn't screw up royally I'm skittish about the game's initial distribution, though I'm sure Amazon Ebay and the usual online suspects have you covered. But if you have a passing interest, and some money to spare, I'd urge some urgency before it evaporates

Best Buy doesn't have a Wii version when I searched for it. Target has listing, saying 'Item arriving 2-6 weeks. Order now.' Walmart says its 'coming soon' when I clicked for additional information. With no info from SNK, or from the gaming press, can we assume the worst?

Not to mention some of the press got their hands on it. The PSP version is out now I believe.
Glad to to know someone else here is interested in this title besides me. I've been checking its release monthly, and it slowly gets pushed back by a month or so. It doesn't make sense unless SNK wants to release these games on VC/ Virtual Arcade individually get more money that way?
