If you're going to MAGFest, there's an actual six-player cabinet there. Every gamer should get the chance to play it at least once. There's really nothing like physically fighting with five other people for the boss point.

meh. I'm 26. I grew up with that machine. It is indeed fantastic, especially for it's time.

Oh a scale of 1 to 10, how Welcome To Die is it?

it's got both the US and JAP roms, 4 or 6 player cabinets, multiple difficulties, an actual character select, drop in/drop out online multiplayer. It's actually worth the 800 points, methinks.

plus, there was no bastardized SNES version ever released, so there's nothing for people to bitch about like they did with turtles in time reshelled.

You're fucking nuts. Reshelled was awesome. Literally everything about it graphically, musically, and gameplay wise was improved upon from the original arcade version. I'm sorry that it didn't include the extra snes levels and bosses, even though they were more frustrating than entertaining to begin with.

I didn't, so I'm just not used to its double-wide frame. It's good fun once in a great while. Shame no one can make arcade games with more than four players anymore.

when I was a kid it was an amazing sight. the cabinet was SO HUGE! I remember having to stand on a milk crate to be able to play.

It's too easy. In fact it's WAY too easy - with unlimited continues, you can beat the game in less than 20 minutes. Just keep dying.

people used to bitch about this when strider 2 came out too. you can always limit yourself. say "I'm only gonna use three continues on this playthrough" or something.

besides, isn't clearing all of these old games on a single credit the popular thing nowadays, thanks to mame and youtube?

they're the same, unfortunately.

also, trophies are stupid.

The japanese version just makes more sense. There are health and mutant power orb powerups that you can pick up, the mutant powers use orbs before health (prompting you to want to save orbs for when you need them, instead of spamming your mutant power until you die like in the US one), and instead of getting one orb every time you beat a level, you get one every time another player joins in or continues.

Enemy placement and behavior might be slightly different, but I haven't noticed anything that I can prove. They seem to actually be about the same difficulty though, so something's gotta be different.
