I had a friend who was a fanatic for Fifa games, and he'll get absolutely livid when I just jokingly say "IN THIS FIFA, WE CHANGED RONALDINHO'S HAIRCUT, EVERYTHING ELSE IS THE SAME" the anger of that man.
For every new Fifa I would just say:
Fifa 10 updated the crowd with an extra person.
Fifa 11 we added a pigeon near the benches.
Fifa 12 It rains now.
Haven't seen him since.
"I had a friend who was a fanatic"
Was a fanatic. I'm glad he finally realized that it's the same game over and over again.
"Haven't seen him since."
Oh....
A classmate calls me weird because i dont play fifa on the ps4
@@CrossoverGameReviews > _"I'm glad he finally realized that it's the same game over and over again."_
Yes, each version has very minor changes. Or well, the changes are big, but from an untrained person, it doesn't look much different. - So it's better to not buy a game every year, but rather every other year, or less often than that, so you get more changes at once, so you can better see a difference.
@@FigureFarter is ot cus you play it on the Wii
@Scoutdy And the fact i play e rated games on still play the wii
You forgot a trick Midway did in 1998: release Wayne Gretzky’s 3D Hockey with a slightly larger rink, countries instead of teams and remove the Wayne Gretzky name, and release it as Olympic Hockey Nagano 98 (which came out *after* Nagano 98 ended).
It’s the only game IGN halve ever given a 0 to, reviewing it this: “We'll post a new review when Midway releases a new game.”
If only all IGN "reviews" had that kind of integrity
That last story is just hilarious. Sometimes it feels like the British gaming industry in the 80s was just a bunch of conmen scamming other conmen.
i mean, atari wasn't any better at business then either.
@@thomasjenkins7506 in the 90s, yeah
The British industry in the s was just a bunch of conmen scamming other conmen.
Holds true most of the time.
And they wonder why we pirated every game that came out then
I think I can say, "the gaming industry in the 80's was just a bunch of conmen scamming other conmen" would be just as apt a phrase.
I'd love it if an HD re-release of Ninjabread Man had a button in the options to swap between the various reskins. "oh you don't like the way this candy land looks? push that button to make it Egypt." it'd be just self aware enough to be popular I'd imagine.
LOLOLOLOLOL
I’m gonna spoil that big screwup SEGA did with Daytona Championship Edition now, because it’s too funny.
Basically they released a patch for arcade owners to update the cabinets with bug fixes, but they messed up and instead of just uploading a patch, they accidentally uploaded the entire game for free! By the time they realized this error, people already downloaded the game and got it running on arcade emulators. Thanks for the free game SEGA! :D
You didn't even need an arcade emulator. The game litterally boots up by itself with Xbox controllers strangely working with the game without tweaking it.
Didn't Sega screw up royally again last year and release a full digital version of a Yakuza game that was only supposed to be a demo?
@@Gruntvc yeah that was Yakuza 6. You where even able to earn trophies too.
It's a crappy game though, am I alone in thinking that the Dreamcast version looked better?
Joke's on you, I don't read comments before I finish the video.
5:01 refuses to sing vowels? Sounds more like he's _only_ singing vowels, it's the consonants I wanna hear.
lol i was wondering if anyone else caught that. its as if larry mixed up the definition of vowel and consonant
@@mchevre yah
I loved daytona's music, Its fun to sing along with "I wanna fry, sky high. Lets goooo to gay bahhh.) LMAO.
Well there's a problem, no one sings consonants really, most consonants require you to stop the sound. M is an obvious exception, but is just A with a closed mouth. Vocal coaches basically just say you don't sing consonants, and that their transitory.
Don't even get me started on the Cabela's Deer Hunt series. Some of them were identical save for a new rifle or two
Refunded a sequel for that reason.
@Lassi Kinnunen no not really. Even if they had just altered the levels a bit to show the passage of time it would have been rather realistic. sometimes you go out hunting and the paths you used to take are washed out or blocked with fallen trees. New construction twenty miles away can change animal behaviors over time. Droughts or flooding changes herd behavior as they adapt to the changing terrain. A path outside a meadow that you could walk to in the morning and wait for a herd, might have guaranteed a kill for over a decade and then one season no animals.
There is a reason that a lot of hardcore hunters will do a scouting trip a little before the season starts, because it does change year to year.
@@codyblea3638 nice info
Without the "fool" part, this was something during the PS2 era with Sony of America's policy barring publishers from releasing updated special ultimate edition of the same game with bonus content and chapters unless it meets their requirement to be released here. A number of special edition Japanese games didn't get released overseas leaving just the vanilla. Like Square-Enix with Kingdom Hearts I&II: Final Mix until the HD remastered and Final Fantasy X International is interesting that Europe got it on the PS2 being late in getting games.
Nowadays with DLC, publishers intentionally do this providing a download code for additional content.
They did more than that alot of games Sony rejected for US altogether just because they dint want ports of old games or budget games which was a thing in all other regions.This is the reason why Metal Slug 3 was skipped on PS2 in US and 4 and 5 was sold as a two pack instead when they was stand alone titles everywhere else. US area missed out on all of the localised D3 simple series 2000 games Europe got Including the first three E.D.F games and only Darwin was sold in US.
Even on PSP they was still doing this which is why breath of Fire 3 PSP version was never sold in US since it added no extra's to the original ps1 version yet all other regions got it. PS3 in US for a while any game with no English dub could only be sold Digitally on PSN yet again no other region did this.
So that why no shadow hearts updated versions. Wish who owns that now would do something about it.
The anime series of Maya the Bee is actually still being rerun to this day and had a minor resurgence with some other older TV shows like Heidi and Vicky the Viking at that time in the 90s, so surprisingly it might not even have been that cheap of a license.
My dad loved thay thing and said it was still being re run in Peru in the 80's and early 90's....thing just took longer to reach a be translated in certain places
HUGE in Poland. Just ask any Polish person to sing the (Polish) opening of Maya, you will never find one that doesn't know it.
@@dickbison In Germany too. You could probably ask anybody born between 1980 and close to now and they could sing atleast a few lines of the German version of that song.
Nickeledeon had the show in the mid 90's, so it was absolutely a known thing to some kids when the Gameboy game came out.
I think studio 100 has the rights to these shows now. I remember my younger sister watched 3D animated versions of these shows when we lived in Belgium
Every time I forget about this channel, I’ll rediscover it a few months later. It’s fun to see what you’ve made when I return :D
FIFA fans will still swarm into buying a new title every year despite it being the exact same thing from 12 months ago. The only real updates are the players and teams that might as well be DLC at this point coz the core gameplay sure hasn't changed much in the past 20+ years.
Fifa 16 added the most features and from there it was just copy and paste, the only good thing I can think coming out of this is poor families can buy essentially the same game for as cheap as 50p (I'm not joking)
That's why annual sport games are always like dixie cups: they're worthless after you've used them.
FIFA and other sportsball games are the one type of game that should be a live service, but they aren't because the publishers are just too greedy to give up those $60 a pop sales every year.
@@mjc0961 microtransactions are also bad
I had this idea in my head that lets say, FIFA games, would receive new version each 3-5 years, but the in years between would only get DLC packs for each year. That would save development time and fans would be happy with more affordable prices. Win-Win.
Every time I watch your channel I cannot help but think of my high school history teacher and how he tried and failed to teach the class that modern-day capitalism is the ultimate society
2k every year:
Agreed, every effing year. And don't get me started on FIFA.
Techinally every 10 months
I'm still playing 2k13 on my 360
What brainlets play sports games anyway
@@Nikotheleepic just cuz you're too weak to play sports doesnt mean no one should play sports games
You know, every episode I keep wondering how Larry keeps coming up with these awesome alliterations, these ignoble idioms, these repeated remarks. He's gotta run out at some point, right? ...Right?

@@Larry Hello you.
@emberfist8347 I'm guru larry
Larry: The death of the Wii, meant the end of shovelware.
Me: The Switch eShop would like a word with you :P
Early Access and previously Steam Greenlight would like a word too.
Plus, PSN and Xbox Live.
If there's a storefront, shovelware finds a way onto it.
implying all of the games are "shovelware"
Steam + Google Play = 'Nuff said.
Most indie games are shovelware. When Sonic 4 and Final Fantasy IV The After Years are some of the best Wii Ware games you know it's bad.
Not just Switch,on Steam there is mountains of it.
The Pokemon Company never intended for you to have to buy multiple versions of the same game. They just intended for you to play with and trade with others who have the opposite version from the one you have. Granted, of course, those who don't have friends or anyone to play with and don't know the whole trading with others concept in the first place are the ones who tend to say that it is intended for you to buy both versions.
@Chance Yeah. Well, these days, at least. Obviously couldn't do so until the DS.
Daniel Coffman no the gba had a link cable
@@Noah-oe5io What were you replying to? Did you misread my comment?
Daniel Coffman you said you couldn’t do so until the ds but you could trade on gba with a link cable

I knew where that South Park game was going cause the level design was straight up Mary Kate and Ashley so now I know that weird but fun Mary Kate and Ashley game on the Gameboy was originally gonna be a South Park game. Neat!
Yeah, and the rom for South Park only got leaked a couple of years ago
Too bad the Olson Twins sued Acclaim Entertainment afterwards...
Then again, those two GBC Mary Kate and Ashley games are probably better than stuff like the Mario Party clones that graced stuff like the PS2 and Nintendo GameCube.

Larry: "The death of the shovelware market"
Steam Direct: "Am I a joke to you?"
Switch E-shop: "You haven't seen my E-shop lately, have you?"
The one that caught me was Roller Coaster, a Jet Set Willy style game I really liked from the ZX Spectrum, being released years and years later as 'Dragon's Lair' for the Game Boy. When buying a Dragon's Lair game, I didn't expect to end up with a ZX Spectrum theme park game reskinned!
I wasn't unhappy about it, I thought it was kind of cool at the time getting blasted in the face with nostalgia. Still a pretty strange situation, though.
Dragons Lair has some really weird console versions though weirdest is Dragons Lair 3 on PC and DVD. They was never a 3rd game in the series so what it is. Is a bunch of gameplay clips cut together of the Dragons Lair 3D game that work like the Classic games. Thing is Dragons Lair 3D had a PC version.
I got Roller Coaster after finding out Bomb Jack wasn't compatible with my ZX Spectrum +2A, they gave a list of alternative games I could send it back for.
Christ I'll have to try this the weekend loved roller coaster on my speccy but I remember it was so bloody difficult. Thanks for the info mate
Can't believe I'd never heard about this game. It looks fantastic - cheers!

Their american hand-egg game should not be called football! It’s football everywhere in the world.
@@PuresG1ft I mean, if we're going to rename games, American football can be called "hand-egg", rugby can be called "shorten-lifespan", and soccer/football be renamed "fake-injury".
In fairness every second teamsport is called football in way or another. I never got why the only football actually paid with feet is called soccer by Americans

Special shout out to Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, in which the only reason I bought it is because I thought it was a sequel, and instead it was just a beefed up version of the same game.
That's how sequels work, boy.
@@opadrip I dunno which games you've been playing, but it isn't.
Xenoverse 2 is more of a SF2 to Championship Edition than SF2 to Alpha/SF3

Unless I've slipped into some weird parallel universe, XV1 and XV2 are vastly different games.
Different city layout, different story. Even Super Saiyan works differently.
Also added transformations for the non-Saiyan races and added modes like the 6v1 PvE "Expert Missions".
But yeah, totally the same game.
@@HogtreeOctovish same story missions tough.
I haven’t finished the video, but my immediate thoughts go to Rayman 2... swear they’ve repacked that game a million times
I remember getting caught when I bought Rayman 3D for the 3DS
That was mostly due to Ubisoft investing a lot of money into Rayman 2.
@T El it isnt and guru larry mentioned that the original Rayman 2 was canceled due to Crash Bandicoot
@T El yes.
Hello there Chippy,didn't expect to see you here
I'm genuinely curious as to why Skyrim wasn't on the list.
Because people weren't fooled into buying them.
Most people on PC still play Skyrim Legendary Edition and also people who had a registered copy of Legendary Edition on Steam got a free upgrade to Special Edition. Most of Special Edition's sales have come from Xbox One and PS4 players due to Mods.
@@WastelandWanderer1216 It was a good idea on Bethesda's part. Even though the modding community is huge, most Skyrim players were console owners
The mods are practically like free DLC
@@WastelandWanderer1216 And people who bought it again on Switch have the understandable excuse of it being a handheld version that they can play where ever they want.
not that i want it, but they didn't give me the legendary and special editions of skyrim despite the fact i own the original version on steam so thanks i guess bethesda

Well, aint it closer to this Game of the Year / complete editions nearly every AAA game has? it is expecially funny if the complete version is uncomplete (not all DLCs) or remove things (like it is the case with this one).

I was literally fooled into buying the exact same game twice many years ago. Namely, the PSP version of Ridge Racer.
Back when I first bought the first game I found it quite enjoyable, so I later purchased Ridge Racer 2 for the same system. To my dismay I found out that it was, and I'm not exaggerating here, _literally the exact same game_ as Ridge Racer, with just a couple of new race tracks added. I'm not here talking about a new installment of a racing game series resembling the previous one. It's _literally the exact same game._ Exact same graphics, cars, tracks, background music, game mechanics. They literally took the exact same game, added a couple of new tracks to it (and possibly a couple of new cars) and released it as "Ridge Racer 2" at full price. I'm not exaggerating here. There wasn't even any sort of graphical upgrade or anything. If you play the same tracks on both versions of the game, they are 100% identical. And that's like 95% of the second installment. There were only a few minor additions to the game in it.
I pity anybody who bought the second game first, thought that it was enjoyable and then bought the first game in order to get more content... only to find out that the first game is literally the second game with a couple of race tracks removed.
Same thing happened to me with Trauma Center: Second Opinion. Sounds like a sequel, right? It's not. It's just Trauma Center: Under the Knife, but ported to Wii. Same levels and plot, but with some weird new Wii controls. And it was $50.
Kinda felt ripped off there.
@@ohnoitschris A game ported to another console is borderline. (Although I suppose if it has a name that suggests it's some kind of sequel it can be worse.)
In this case, however, it was a game clearly named like a sequel ("Ridge Racer 2", as opposed to "Ridge Racer") for the exact same system.
@@ohnoitschris Yeah that definitely sounds like it was a bummer, man. 😱 And especially with such a story-heavy game/series as Trauma Center; you think you’re getting more, but it’s mostly just the same with some less ugly graphics.
You've brought back bad memories with that damn Ridge Racer 2 ahaha...........yep I remember being sooo disappointed. Another example that's near-identical to Ridge Racer 2 is Mashed: Fully Loaded.
Maybe they should have called it Ridge Racer Plus...

granted yes putting a 2 on it is tone deaf and stupid, but give credit where credit is due.
@@gardian06_85 It definitely should have been marketed as an expansion. I don't mind if Overwatch does expansions like WoW because calling it a sequel is rather confusing.

Nintendo do it every year.

I've bough a few games twice, one or two of them 3 times due to gaming platforms shutting down. Most of the games I bought twice are due to them being resold on GoG and I don't want to worry about DRM or the event that Steam closes.
i got a suggestion for this list...anyone else remember the game Spore? specifically its "intro stage", where youre a single-celled organism swimming around and eating smaller creatures while avoiding larger ones? well thats the entirety of the game "Sparkle"...as well as "Sparkle 2"...and "Sparkle 3"...and-- ehh i think you see where im going with this...its literally the Same gameplay, no matter which one youre playing...you just swim around, finding foodbits, until youre done...then you swim around some more, finding foodbits...
Actually a remaster of Ninjabread Man where you can choose which graphics set you want to use would be really funny. It's something Limited Run could get in on.
Here in Mexico "Maya the Bee" was big (at least in the eighties), being one of the first anime series broadcasted in our country. It's most remembered by older generations.
here’s a fun fact: did you know that the programmer for Zool, George, has his own little indie game company called Clockwork Pixels? His games look really neat imo, and some of them are even on iOS and Android!

Americans would understand what pocket money is, anyways...
@@christopherbrown1848 I mean yes and no? Depends on the context you use it, because typically over here "pocket money/change" typically refers to whatever miniscule amount of money you have on you at the time, rather than the money a kid gets from their parents.
I heard a story from a TH-camr about how his friend hadn't played Fifa since 1998 and when he played a Fifa on Ps3 11 years later the gameplay was exactly identical in every way.

Years ago I bought 5 PS2 games for £10 in my local game store and the store gave me NinjaBread man on top of the 5 games I was buying. And I was like:
"What's this for?"
"Don't ask... just take it."
*playing the game later that night* "OMG MY EYES!!! WHAT EVEN IS THIS THING??"
Actually, before Pokémon 5, they never sold the same game twice.
It was three times each at least.
Besides the fact that the third versions usually have substantial changes, they actually wanted you to socialize with other people. So if you bought both versions to catch em all on your own, that was your choice.
As you discussed the World Cup Carnival and talked about the stuff they included in the box... it really hit me how much I miss seeing instruction booklets and maps of the world and the like they used to include in them.

Edit: whew no Rayman 2. Ports weren't taken into account.

Wasn't revolution more of a remaster than a port?
@@PSspecialist Yep. I don't know what this guy's problem is. The video is solely about the games that were released twice or more on the same platform, with little or no differences. Rayman 2 ports don't count, as they were, well, ports for different platforms.

How about just nowadays in general : that most physical "Complete/GOTY" Editions where you used to expect everything on the physical disc , but really when you open the box it's the same standard edition/vanilla disc with a digital download code on a leaflet ??? .... DOH !!!!
Most AAA games don't fit on the disc anymore....... Even the standard version. Plus read speed would be very bad for high definition gaming.
But GOTY edition should give you transferable rights to anyone not just one user though, it's just a way for publisher to sell their stock without doing more.

Some games are released on multi-disc packs (Although kinda a minority nowadays) , I would have preferred that than just being given a shitty code leaflet .
Street fighter V champion edition
I was shocked when that edition of Sword and Shield that had the DLC included with the case actually put the expansion pass right on the cartridge, because I expected this. But that's the exception rather than the rule; I tend to look up if the update has a DLC code or if it's on the disc. If it's just a code and I already got the vanilla disc, then the ONLY way I'd buy the reprint is if it was cheaper than getting the DLC separate...and even then, that just leaves me with essentially two of the same disc.
Due to extreme DRM in most games even on pc, if you want to play a game on a different platform, you always have to buy a copy for that platform and many people buy more than 1 copy of a game.
No mention of rebranded, identical Atari 2600 games?
Tank Plus = Combat
Target Fun = Air Sea Battle
I’m sure there were many others, but these are just two examples of Sears rebranding games.
That's right. My cousins had Target Fun but I had the brand new shiny Air Sea Battle. I didn't realize that they did that with Combat as well. Things were so free and loose in the Atari days, maybe Larry doesn't consider that significant?
Laz my man, I'd love to see you do an episode dedicated entirely to US Gold and all the crap ports they released back in the Speccy days.
Not to forget the "retro collections" in which they sell you roms of the same games you bought 20 years ago.
i have other ways of playing retro games than buying a retro collection
*puts on eye patch*
To be fair at least they're transparent there, plus not everyone has access to the original hardware these games were released on. The legacy collections are released with newer audiences in mind, that want a legitimate way to own said games without resorting to forking out a lot of money for the hardware and the software.
Eh, those don't really count in this instance as you know exactly what you're buying. The games in this video were re-skinned and falsely presented as brand new or completely different.
I'm astonished that people have bought Ninjabread man even just one time.
2:45 I swear I've been to that exact cex, Lakeside shopping centre
quite possibly!
Man things were so simple back with no Internet. The same game and almost nobody complained.
Great video as usual, Larry! Love the Gremlins 2 music to start thing off. :)
Oh gawd, Daytona Championship USA 3. That made me so pissed when I found out what it was really going to be.
It DOES actually have one more track, the actual Daytona International Speedway, but it's just a basic oval (and Three-Seven is basically "Daytona if it were in the mountains" anyway).
Finally, somebody who knows why people are actually mad about the game. Who fucking cares about the graphics. It's the fact it isn't actually Daytona USA 3 like was promised.
I actually rescind my earlier post. Daytona International Speedway is just a mirrored version of Three-Seven...
Thanks for fooling me, pokemon. Next time I'm only buying one.
😹 Yeah yeah. /s
@@viscountrainbows6452 I've been doing that for the past 2½ generations now. Don't think screw the rules I have green hair won't do the same.
The only Pokemon games I've picked up since Gen 2 were Super Mystery Dungeon, and the fan made Crystal Clear.
Both games where you don't need two versions to get everything.
Who buys two copies of a game? Most things are the same in both versions. I only pick one version.
People like us, with no friends :-(
Otherwise we could get the opposite copy of our friends, then trade Pokemon with them. Can't be doing with only half the Pokemon, gotta catch em all, it's like a rule or something.
After reading the letter at 15:50, it's disgusting to see them actually patting themselves on the back, thinking releasing garbage set some kind of positive precedent.
So which version of _"Street Fighter"_ are we on, now?
Street Fighter isn't as bad as these, as the different versions are different enough.
Although home versions of The Movie The Game was a reskin.
@@RippahRooJizah Street Fighter II???
@@pferreira1983 Doesn't change what I said, SF isn't as bad as the video examples. No one was fooled, and the different versions were iterative. Only the home port of SFtMtG would really fit here as that one was just a reskin, like other games in this video.
@@RippahRooJizah I honestly can't tell the difference between all 15-30 versions of the game.
@@pferreira1983 With the power of copypasta (and editing down the length)...
"Street Fighter II: the World Warrior. The original vanilla release of 1991 with 8 playable characters and 4 unplayable bosses.
Street Fighter II: Champion Edition. An update to World Warrior that came out in the arcades in 1992 and made the four bosses (Balrog, Vega, Sagat and M. Bison) playable.
Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting. An update to Champion Edition that introduced faster gameplay speed and new special moves. It came out in December 1992 in the arcades.
Super Street Fighter II: the New Challengers. This is the one that added four new characters (Cammy, Fei Long, T. Hawk and Dee Jay) and moved the game to new hardware which improved the graphics and presentation of the game. However this version wasn't very successful because the Japanese developers decided to eliminate the speed boost of Hyper Fighting's gameplay, which wasn't well received by the players. It came out in 1993
Super Street Fighter II Turbo. This is the last classic arcade version of SFII released in 1994, as the name implies it adds Hyper Fighting's speed back in the game and also adds Super as a comeback mechanic tied to a meter system. Also, Akuma makes his first appearance here.
There were then many re-releases on console and arcade over the years such as Hyper Street Fighter II (which is a new version of the game that collects together all prior versions of SFII), the HD Remix that features new sprites and rebalanced gameplay and recently Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers for the Switch which adds Evil Ryu and Violent Ken as palette swaps and it's mostly based on the old HD Remix. The 30th Anniversary edition will also collect the old SFII arcade games."
Super Mario 64 in Japan also had a re-release in 1997 simply to entice people to use the Rumble Pak.
EA: how can we get away with selling shallow DLC for $60?
EA: lol I have an idea
I’m surprised to not see Nintendo on the list. They’ve been ‘Reselling’ strait ports of their games for Years.
There are several examples of this among unlicensed NES games, such as Menace Beach and Sunday Funday.
Ah yes, the game that went from an insufferable platformer about saving a girlfriend with melting clothes... to an insufferable platformer about getting to sunday school. As things so often go...
That South Park shooter on the turok engine was boss!
Dark Souls Remastered. With very little "remastering" done to the game and almost zero bug fixes, the only real draw to buying the "remaster" was that if you had it on PC, you didn't have to mod the stuffing out of it just to make it work.
It's almost as the remaster exists to be released on the current Gen consoles

As soon as I heard that Zuul Theme i felt like i was back in 1992... game music was awesome on the amiga
Sounds like Deja Vu... Then again, I realize that I was thinking about double ports.
5: Starting off with this, are we? This'll get interesting.
4: I thought it looks like a remake of the original Daytona... But damn that's kinda lazy.
3: I was aware of this, long ago... In the TCRF.
2: ...So how many grandmas got tricked into buying these?
1: Starts with soccer, ends with _football._ Now we went full circle.
So if you're looking forward of making a list of "Original Games that BECAME Licenses," you should give Dynamite Deka a look... which is known as Die Hard Arcade in the west.
Fun times with my brother playing Dynamite Cop on his Dreamcast.
always a good day when a new Guru Larry video drops
Okay, so why hasn’t anyone sued EA for the legacy editions of fifa games? That’s the real question.
Because there’s nothing to sue. It’s a shitty practice but there’s nothing illegal going on, a bit like how it’s not illegal to be a shitty person.
Aarans8 what does that have to do with anything? Pedophilia is a crime so it’s illegal, I don’t see why that’s relevant.
By shitty person I just mean in the sense of being rude, mean, inconsiderate etc.
@Aarans8 Actual dumbass.
I finally know why the music in Daytona Championship U.S.A. was basically the same as 2001, at least SEGA fucked up and ended up releasing the game unintentionally through an update for the cabinet version
Also the waiting theme is from Daytona USA 2
Love the Gremlins 2 music at the start! Well done Larry.
People complained that the box art for a soccer game was boring? Wow.
Next they'll complain that books' contents are too perfect a match for their covers!
I was expecting 5 entries of Skyrim.
That would be too easy.
Elder Scrolls at least had different missions and story.
wouldn't every "re-master" be the same scam?
