2d forever! I appreciate 3D but am sick of all the crap polygon models with crap gameplay.
I would buy a new 2D console for that amount of money provided the graphics were the best 2D could do, had decent controllers and there was a large games library promised for it. But I guess they already tried that with Neo Geo. and to a lesser degree 2d-vs-3d hurt Saturn. All thats left now in 2d is Nintendo's handhelds and even there....
ah, Dragon Force looks nuts!
I didn't always like their translations, or the ugly metallic box art but they were one of the good guys. I will miss them. I still play Sillhouette Mirage, also enjoyed Raystorm and Raycrisis and Silpheed
sad.
there are a couple in NYC. another one just closed (on 33rd st, building is gone, dunno if they moved.) I think stores, like the indie record shops here, could survive if they specialize, like in old games and imports but its gotta be hard even in the big city, and going head-to-head with people like EB and Gamestop in the general games market has to be suicide.
At one time I bought a lot of imports - for Sega Saturn, easy to get the console to play them and the language wasn't much of an issue since I was buying action games. But I ended up buying a Japanese anyway one cuz it was cheap and looked cool. I remember briefly places like EB selling imports and also some weird shit like the Sega photo printer, but I guess it didn't work out.

wait, I'm having flashbacks, this sounds like a lot of the same stuff I heard right before XP came out.
BMW... isn't most of the auto press united in saying that iDrive is a clunky piece of crap?
