Actually the d-pad is the thing i like the least about the Dreamcast's controller, but other than that, it's one of the best. The dual shock, indeed, is absolutely worthless.
Are you sure you're not thinking of Dracula X: Rondo of Blood instead? That being the Japan-only prequel to Symphony of the Night, and the last (and supposedly best) of the non-Metroidvania Castlevanias.
Actually, Rondo of Blood (PCE) came in 93; Bloodlines (Genesis) in 94; and Akumajo Dracula XX (SNES) in 96. But since XX is a (heavily changed) remake of Rondo, I'd say Bloodlines is the last "true" Castlevania.
I haven't played Rondo, but, as I recall, Bloodlines was much more fun than SotN.
Few people will deny that Symphony of the Night is one of the greatest platformers ever made
True, it's very good -- but I'd pick Castlevania Bloodlines as the best title of the series.

You don't frighten us, Thai pig-dogs! Go and boil your bottom, sons of a silly person. I blow my nose at you, so-called Bhumibol King, you and all your silly Thai ce-e-e-e-e-ensors. Thpppppt! Thppt! Thppt! I don't wanna talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper! I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a gibbon and your father smelt of langsats! Now, go away, or I shall taunt you a second time.
Now, had he said something like Second Life, or perhaps some sort of MMO that introduced and developed a fairly different concept (User created enviroments) instead of just a "kill, level, kill, level" type of game.
Want to see bloat? Check the latest version of Nero Burning ROM. It installs loads of crap, hoses the whole system and makes it unstable, and takes hundreds of MB in the hard disk. Then some pirate trimmed the crap and made a "lite" version, which works MUCH better.
I'm usually socialist but I agree on this, government subsidies should be limited to basic goods like food, education, healthcare and utilities because everybody needs it and it should be available to everyone.
Hint: there's no such a thing as a free lunch. Whatever a government gives to someone had to be taken from someone else first.
Oh please. You're claiming that Microsoft pulled anticompetitive pricing tactics against Be trying to dump their OS on consumers? Provide some record of this. Because if it's true, I've lost respect for Microsoft as a monopolist.
No, they threatened not to license Windows to any PC maker that also bundled other systems with their machines.
Mario is a "star" in gaming, but has little to know cross-over appeal that I know of. Mario Bros. Movie, anyone?
Don't blame Mario for the movie's suckitude. It had almost nothing to do with the game (unlike the cartoon, which was pretty good). Dennis Hopper (the movie's King Koopa), in an interview, said he had this lil' chat with his son:
- Dad, why did you work in this Mario film? - So that I can buy you shoes, son. - But I don't need shoes that badly!
Seems like there is a Sonic cartoon, but since I don't watch cartoons anymore I can't gauge the overall interest in that, but seems to me that it wouldn't be that great.
I can't judge it by watching 4Kids' version, I heard it was heavily censored and the japanese one is much better.
This would have been a shocker back in the 90s. But now, crossovers have been done to death. Marvel, Capcom, SNK, Namco... Solid Snake in SSB... a Halo Spartan in DOA... yawn. Besides, it's an olympic video game, and they are traditionally made of suck and fail.
They're also making a new NiGHTS title. Now THAT is stuff that matters!
Mario is the only the only 16 bit platformer worth mentioning... it was so amazing that Nintendo could only release one of them during its console's lifespan...

As Sinistar put it best... RUN, COWARD!
For keyboards that work just like good old Model M, buckling springs and all, check Unicomp.
More reliable, lower training costs, no malware.

Final Fantasy VII is wildly overrated. If it was something based on the TRUE BEST RPG EVER, Panzer Dragoon Saga, I'd find it interesting.
Oh, goddamnit, foot-on-mouth... I mixed Charles Bronson and Chuck Norris. Fuck.

I recall a list much like this, not too long ago. Dupe?
Near the end, the computer greets Falken, to which he replies: "Hello, Joshua."
