Let's take a look at the photos in this blog entry, should we?

1st- An Atari 2600 & a couple of other consoles during the late 70's, early 80's are present. There's also a Yar's Revenge poster to the left of the photo. It's clear that it's either a narrow bedroom, or it's a closet

2nd- 2 candy cabs are present. One of them is a Japanese Neo Geo 25 MVS 4-slot while the other one is a Japanese Taito Egret II candy cabinet. There's also some posters of KOF 2002, the Last Blade, etc. I'm guessing that room is probably his bedroom.

3rd- Another closet :). This has some of Corbie's SNES games present as well as a SNES & a couple of other systems below the TV & an Xbox 360 box. Posters here are of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Breath of Fire, either Donkey Kong Country or Donkey Kong Land.

4th- A couple of SNES, Genesis, & Super Famicom games are present. However, the real deal are some of the PC-Engine games on the right of the photo.

5th- Some of Corbie's DS, GBA, GBC, & PSP games are present, as well as a DS Lite, GBA SP, & a PSP.

6th- The candy cabinets are present once again. You can see Garou: Mark of the Wolves being played in the Neo Geo MVS 4-slot that's in the left of the photo. The game being played on the Taito Egret II is Ibara.

7th- An Xbox 360, Wii, & PS3 are present as well as some games of those respective systems, there's also some PSX, PS2, & Nintendo DS games present.

No Neo Geo games on VC since December.

If there's one thing that really bothers me, it's that there isn't a single Neo Geo game that was released on the Wii Virtual Console. I wonder what's taking SNK Playmore so long to bring out the Neo Geo games on the vc. The only reason I could think of is that they arn't putting out anymore until either World Heroes 2 or Fatal Fury Special comes to the VC. World Heroes 2 & Fatal Fury Special are both rated by the ESRB (vc versions). I've been waiting to play King of Fighters 2003 & Sengoku 3.

(Will translate later.)

Just to let you know.

From now on, all of my future blog posts will be written not only in English, but also on another language. Maybe 2 other languages. I'm still deciding what foreign languages to use though.

OR, I might make a foreign version of this blog. It'll probably have the same posts as my english blog, but obviously in a different language.

My opinions on N64 & PSX.

I shall be giving my opinions on the PSX & N64, 2 of the 3 primary competitiors of the 5th generation. The 3rd main competitor is the Sega Saturn though that's another story. Anyways, the PSX was released in Japan on 1994 while it was released the following year in the rest of the world. The Nintendo 64 was released in Japan on June 1996 while it was released in North America 3 months later & in Europe in another couple of months. The N64 & PSX fought against each other without mercy. Saleswise, it was clear the PSX had surpassed the N64, but why? Thanks to Sony's decision of using CD's, they were able to secure a lot of games, CD's were cheap to make & can hold a lot of stuff. The N64 on the other hand, uses cartridges instead of CD's which really limited the amount of 3rd party games. Cartridges were quite more expensive to make than CD's & couldn't hold a lot of data, however, as time went on, developers slowly increased the size of N64 games. As of 2001, the N64's biggest games were around 512 megabits, the megabit size was still a lot smaller than the PSX's, but it was at least bigger than a lot of Neo Geo games.

Having said that, I'll now give my opinions of the N64 & the PSX.

N64

Pros: Has some of the best games ever made, controller really works well, has much better graphics than the PSX's, cartridges can take a lot of damage, revolutionized 3-D gaming in general, made FPS's popular on home systems, 1st console since the Atari 5200 to use analog sticks.

Cons: A lot of games were kinda expensive back then, 2D fighters & Rpg's are under-represented, it's 2D power was largely untapped, usage of FMV's & CD quality music were few & far.

PSX

Pros: Has a lot of RPG's, the music was quite awesome, controller is really good.

Cons: The bad game to good game ratio was pretty large, system doesn't look as awesome as N64, PSX's 2D power is really weak (go play X-Men vs. Street Fighter on the PSX to see what I'm talking about.), graphics are horrible on a lot of games, many games don't even use analog controls.

Let's see what the genres of video games each system does better at.

RPG's: obviously the PSX due to using CD's

FPS's: N64 obviously, there were a ton of great FPS's on the N64.

2D Fighting games: It's really a draw, the PSX has more 2D fighters, yet, PSX's 2D power is really weak so that typically means quite a bit of missing frames of animation. The N64's 2D power is stronger, yet, there's not many 2D fighters on the system to demonstrate the power.

3D fighters: PSX wins due to having Tekken 1-3. However, N64 has a few really good 3-D fighters too however.

Racing games: PSX has Gran Turismo & Twisted Metal, oh...boy. N64 has Mario Kart 64, Beetle Adventure Racing, Star Wars Ep. 1 Racer, F-Zero X, World Driver Championship, F-1 World Grand Prix, etc.

Platformer games: N64 wins due to having Super Mario 64, Donkey Kong 64, Banjo-Kazooie & Tooie, & much more. PSX has Crash, Spyro, Klonoa: Door to Phantomile, Jumping Flash!, etc.

Sports: It's pretty much a draw for now as I don't know the N64's & PSX's full amount of good sports games.

As you can see, I clearly prefer the N64 over the PSX, don't get me wrong, I would like to get a few PSX games such as Street Fighter Alpha 3, Mega Man Legends 2, Real Bout Garou Densetsu Special: Dominated Mind (JPN only), Jumping Flash!, & maybe Tekken 3. I still like the N64 much better than PSX.
