Thumb wrestling


Le's do dis... real quick, I don't have time. Tekken is Tekken, nothing to see here. The combos you learned 10 years ago still work. Game loads a fuck-ton though, kinda kills the mood.

Nostalgia is actually really cool. It's 100% old-school. Plenty of games like to claim that they're "traditional," or "classic," but always fuck it up with some unnecessary gameplay gimmick. Nostalgia is classic RPG. Run around sewers, screen transition with a wipe into random battle, line up in front of a group of rats, trade hits until someone dies, play a musical fanfare and collect experience points. Old. School. Fun. Tengai Makyou artwork helps a great deal, too. I'm very glad I picked it up.

Haven't even opened Ikkitousen. I read up on it after I bought it, and it sounds like a less evolved game than Eloquent Fist. Not really interested now. I'll pop it in after the storm clears. I got 3D dot character to edit.
