Cratermaze - WTF?

[Odonadon]

Okay, seriously, of all games.... Cratermaze?  I figured Hudson (or Nintendo, whoever is doing the releasing) was done with their crap game releases for the VC after Drop Off!  Bah, I have to say, I think it's obvious they aren't paying attention to our top 10 game lists or reviews and just releasing whatever.

Nintendo just wants to make the TurboGrafx-16 look bad  . They don't want it to become popular and have NEC release an awesome next-gen console and steal the market again.

Cratermaze is a bazillion times better than Drop Off Rock Crack.

I think they're trying to appeal to the "puzzle" crowd, but the TG-16 library on VC is certainly not going to WOW anyone.

I'm waiting for Gomola Speed.

I don't think Cratermaze was a bad choice, but I was surprised as hell to see god damn Drop Off on the list awhile ago! I still think Drop Off is the worst game NEC ever brought out overseas and was just a stupid decision!

Agreed!

Yup. Drop Off should never have been released for VC, unless they had a special promotion one week called "We dare you to play  these games! You don't have the balls to deal with their sheer crappieness!"

I think it would be a great idea: "The worst of the worst". Have a bunch of horrible games for each system, accompanied by a humorous critique, and offer them at a greatly reduced price. Then, to make things interesting, have high-score (or completion time) contests.

The US NEC library is very very very small. Since they have no plans for PCE games (this is still the case, right?) then they have to pace themselves big-time, or they'll run out of TG-16 games before the end of the year.

[Black Tiger]

I think that they're just planning on releasing every TurboGrafx-16 game that they can(all but the Disney & Sega titles?).

And to do that, it wouldn't look good releasing them in order from best to worst.

I actually don't mind Drop Off so much, I played some more of it a couple months ago and managed to enjoy it just a little, but I still think it was a retarded game to bring out here as it only makes the system look bad.

Hah! Now that would be a lot of fun! Plus maybe I could actually use my extra 400 Wii points for something then!

I don't see how the USA NES library is small at all but anyways Hudson Entertainment did release Battle Load Runner on the VC which was a PCE game, so I'm hoping there will be more PCE support in the future.

I mean to say NEC, not NES. Its been corrected. Yeah, the NES library is huge as hell.

[Keranu]

Oh whoops, what was I thinking?

I would put money on us seeing at least a few PCE games. We already got one: Battle Load Runner. My guess is they'll bring over any [good] PCE games that don't need any translation.

I just played through Motoroader II today and was noticing how there is not a single piece of Katakana to be found in the entire game. Not even the end credits are in Japanese. Motoroader II would be a fine VC candidate. It's damn good, too.

Battle Load Runner might've been released since TTI had planned on releasing it back in the day... and the whole non-translating aspect.

Since MotoRoader II was also on their release list for years, hopefully its a future candidate.

Me too. Motoroader II is extremely underrated, and it doesn't seem like a lot of folks have it.

Dude, I asked you to sell me Motoroader II in another thread! Did I miss your response? Or have you ignored my request, hoping that I'd forget? IIRC, I even invited you over to my house for a Motoroader Marathon (I have Motoroader MC + original). Goddam! I don't have wireless controllers, but....

Anyway, who's gonna sell me MR II ?
