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.

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.
Episode 6 was recorded right after which you will hear next week

12 minutes in and I have to say that most people -if they own an NES still- will run into the same stuff I demonstrated in my video. Comparing actual hardware to actual hardware is a lot more accurate than comparing a gray market (read: illegitimate) Famiclone device to actual hardware.
The license fees are what “drives” price on SNES/NES games. (Which are supposed to be 800 SNES and 500 NES respectively.) I guess it’s Canada being screwed by Canadian prices.
That person who is not getting a “God Damned Dime” doesn’t deserve a God Damned Dime. They were hired (Many are union these days) to work specifically on a game title for a specific amount of time. They got paid for the work that they did. No more, no less. It’s not like a book author in that they have ownership in the book they wrote. Also, the idea of them sweating blood and tears is BS as well. Especially in the NES and Atari era. Ever notice that some NES games use the same engine with different graphics? This happened even more in the Atari age. A good example would be Indiana Jones on the Atari 2600 is another game in which the “developer” went into the code changed two or three sprites and some colors and called it a day. The people who do own the rights for the work are the companies who retain their copyrights through rights sales, and so forth. Many companies in the NES era were folded into other companies or have been bought and sold a couple dozen times
Of course, if you bought that cart USED, than you supported NO ONE when you bought it except the person that sold it to you.
Those errors and glitches are intentional for the most part. Oh, Virtual Console does not use Game ROMs. Which is evident in the additional features they have added to a bunch of their games. For example: Pokemon Snap lets you save the photos you take onto your SD cards and then take those to your PC and print them out if you want. They’re actually trying to emulate the glitches. Which is pretty darn weird.
Rob Lowe is not a credible source on future Nintendo products. He’s a BRAND MANAGER at Nintendo UK. His job is to update their twitter, and approve ad campaigns. Nintendo of Japan springs stuff on Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Europe all the time (Vitality Sensor, Wii Balance Board as recent examples) without letting them know.
I think the Media Summit will get us the new Wii Color (Black), the DSi XL launch date (March), and some more release dates. Should be amusing.

Doc Lewis Punch-Out was on the Wii.
It was free to Nintendo Club Platinum Users.
Digital Distribution Kiosks have already been available from Nintendo in Japan since the years of the Famicom Disc System.
Still listening.

Oh! The PSP is the best selling system in Japan and has been since near the beginning of this year. Just thought I would go ahead and mention that.

Majesco makes Cooking Mama. Cooking Mama 2 added more recipes and playable characters. Then the third one added shopping, fashion stuff to it.
SquareEnix’s current crop of titles and quality do not really belong in the same sentences mostly.
Final Fantasy 13 is crappy shovel ware with a budget.
Nintendo doesn’t attend Tokyo Game Show.
Nintendo announced the Nintendo DS in a press release outside of any show and the same was true with the Nintendo DSi. The Game Boy Color was a CES reveal, and the Game Boy Advance was announced in a US show.
Nintendo drops the price for first party titles in Player’s Choice titles or if they don’t sell enough. Examples of this would be Chibi Robo DS, Fire Emblem DS, the Brain Age Titles have both fallen in price, the Cooking Training game went on sale, and they have done this for a long time. Maybe Canada is just not lucky enough.

Nintendo has had Player’s Choice titles since the NES, SNES, Game Boy, N64, Game Cube, and Game Boy Advance. The Wii and Nintendo DS don’t have a “greatest hits” bit yet.
