MasonicGamer.com: Way back in 1999 the 2D era of gaming had faded away but that didn’t stop Capcom from continuing to flood the market with 2D fighters. As much as I enjoyed all of Capcom’s classic 2D fighters such as Street Fighter and the VS. series, I was always hoping that the company would get with the times and embrace 3D gaming for it’s fighters. Rivals Schools was great but it still played like a 2D fighter and Street Fighter EX was just plain old trash. I’m NOT hating on Skullomania, he was awesome.
Capcom for whatever reason decided to give the whole “3D fighter” thing a try with a game called Power Stone. It was developed for the arcades and ran on Sega’s NAOMI system which was basically a Dreamcast. Porting Power Stone from the NAOMI arcade system to the Dreamcast was a walk in the park, so much so that the game arrived on Dreamcast little over a week after it debuted in the arcades.
Shenmue: Reclaiming the Path is a fan game using Dreamcast-era visuals, and tells a new story within the Shenmue saga taking place in both Hong Kong and Guilin. Its expected to release on September 16th.
Something about recreating old school graphics in an era of HD high poly photo realism just hits a spot. I'm not nostalgic cause I mostly played GameCube and GB/A, but it's a visual style that gets over looked even by indies.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
