With Special Guest: “The” Virtual Boy!  Frank & Victor take a trip to the past and discuss the facts about the Virtual Boy and how it could have had more success.  We also discuss 3D Movies/BluRay and how it will change how we view entertainment and if it will last.  Speaking of 3D, we also discuss the 3D HDTVs that have just gone on sale in Canada. Of course we can’t have a 3D episode without talking about the newly announced Nintendo 3DS.  We actually did fact checking!  Enjoy this fun filled 3D episode!

Nintendo Game Pack Trading cards? Oh my!

Posted by Frank On May - 18 - 2009

I actually found a store that still sold these.  Albeit they did not cost me the ususal 25 cents I would’ve paid 20 years back.  But this worked for me.  I actually took the liberty of opening one back.  Check out the Video!

Yes! This is in fact, my FAVORITE trilogy of old school, side scrolling Beat ‘em Ups for the SNES. I had very fond memories of these games. I remember the first time I played it and that was actually “Rushing Beat Ran � Fukusei Toshi” which of course I met initially as “Brawl Brothers”. I played this with my Friend Ariel (yes that’s HIS name) and I must say it is the most fun I had playing a 2 player game since Street Fighter II at the time. Now I do not recall if I played “Rival Turf” aka “Rushing Beat” first. I also do not recall when I played “The Peace Keepers” aka “Rushing Beat Syura”, maybe 1995 or so. Anyways, but it was not until many years later in the late 90s that I found out these were a trilogy in Japan. I played “Brawl Brothers” until 2002 on my SNES straight from 1995 when I acquired it from the same Blockbuster that I rented it from initially for $14.99. I bought it with my allowance which was paid as a lump sum as we were in Germany that summer for over a month so I collected my weekly allowance (which I had forgotten about cause of all the summer fun) and saw it in the used games bin and bought it without thought. I do not know where this original purchased game is (nor my Street Fighter 2 Turbo) but once I do I will make a video on these “Lost Games”. As there are about 3 of them. Anyhow here is the Video! Enjoy!!!!

PS I know that I spelled the URL wrong. I’ve since re-edited this vid but did not re-up it as it has been embedded in some other sites I still need to find.

Rushing Beat Trilogy!!!
