Good review, Masters. I was engaged all throughout. Too bad SFII has issues.
I don't have to boost my review resume because I have a real resume. |

Yeah, sucks. Made the whole thing almost worthless. Almost.

Use that training to write a Yoshi's Island review!

I didn't mean to. If you go to the game's page, you'll find my old account has a 9/10 review up for the game.

Haha. You know Retro? I thought he was around well before your time..? He's a good man. Sometimes. =D

No, I don't know Retro. But you told me that he wanted you to review Yoshi's Island. I'm just restating what you told me!

Wow, I didn't think anyone listened to me. That's impressive. Are you also of the opinion that Yoshi's Island is the best 2D platformer of all time?

Unfortunately I am not, but I do think it ranks pretty high up there.

For a second I figured Yoshi's Island would be a good game to review for the Alpha Marathon, getting that pesky Y out of the way, but then I realized the real title of the game is Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. So, uh, eff that idea.

Ha, nobody does. The GBA title is even more retarded, if I recall correctly.

Well there is always Yoshi's Island DS I suppose. I don't even think Nintendo would call YI SMW2 now, they obviously just did that to sell a few more copies (and it probably worked).

Haha, I'll pass along your sentiment to Retro. Or better yet, I'll just direct him to this thread so he can bask in the love. ^_^ As far as the hack 'n slashers... I can see how you'd like them. I just found them to be slick Golden Axe wannabes... they just didn't do much for me. Gun.Smoke is ridiculous. =D Oh, and thanks for the positive feedback.

I've always preferred King of the Dragons and Knights of the Round to Final Fight. This was a great review, by the way. Once again, you really wrote a compelling review for a compilation. Capcom's attempts to emulate the arcade Street Fighter titles in their collections have been a disgrace compared to the excellent job they do on console ports, so I'm inclined to agree with this even without having played this particular edition.

Thanks Venter. Yeah, nothing worse than setting a guy up to jump at you, priming your uppercut, only to throw one of those pitiful jabs -- and ending up getting crushed by a energy draining combo.

I have to say I'm surprised there are so many fans of Knights of the Round. It's not a bad game, but didn't really stand out THAT MUCH in my mind. I think I mentally classed it as a decent Final Fight clone in a medieval setting, but nothing extraordinary.

Speaking of the pedestrian quality of KotR... anyone have any thoughts on the similarly ho-hum Magic Sword?
