Game Debate Podcast Episode 005: Live & Direct before the Nintendo Summit!
Frank And Victor are LIVE! That’s right! Well sorta. Out of Frank’s living room. There is a lot you can do with an existing DJ mixer, 2 Sony Karaoke Mics, Dollar store cables/adapters, a crappy old laptop, and iPhone and whole lot of imagination. You get this show! Vic and Frank Discuss more on Philip Wesley’s feedback, the likeliness of a Wii2 or DS2,if a DS 2 for this year is even feasible and how Nintendo never lowers the price of 1st party titles. Enjoy the show! This is not a show about Nintendo hate but rather predictions for the 24th’s Nintendo Summit.

Gamedebate Site Update + Non-Skyped Show!
Just thought I would give a little update here. Last night I spent a good chunk of the night upgrading our site to WordPress 2.9.2 which, if done manually (which is how this site is setup) is a pain in the ASS! After updating it seemed that the database which I set this up with (MySQL 4.0.2) was outdated. Little did I know when I initially created this site from raw WordPress code and having no clue about DBs I ignored the “MySQL5″ option when creating the database. So long story short I had to create a new DB that is 4.8 compatible or higher, import the old DB, test it, update the PHP code and run this puppy. So here you have it! Now with less spam. 
All I know is I will not have these DB problems again on the next update thank god!
Rushing Beat Trilogy!!!
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.
Stolen BBV Instruction Booklet Colection 1992-1997
Yes it’s time for an update! That with one of 2 Videos we got up here today. I collected these from my local Blockbuster Video (which still exists yet only as half the store. Yes the store was reduced to half!) and I kept these as a keepsake. Thing is I didn’t see this as stealing when I was younger so…. Enjoy the video!
