About Me

edit

Old-school gamer. I started gaming with the Atari 2600. I became an addict with the arcade release of Street Fighter II at my college. The SNES release pushed me into buying that system and a lame arcade stick. I haven't looked back since then. I still consider the 16-bit to be the Golden Age of gaming. The current generation is keeping me pretty happy, especially with the fighting game renaissance that's happening lately. And, yes, I'm old.

Proud owner of: Kiwi Gameboy Color, GBA SP, GBA Micro, PSP 3000, White DS Lite, Silver NeoGeo Pocket, purple SwanCrystal, SNES, Genesis, N64, purple Gamecube, slim PS2, Dreamcast, Wii and PS3.

Favorite Games: Last Blade 2, Street Fighter Alpha 2, Mark of the Wolves, Zelda: A Link to the Past, Zelda: Minish Cap, Dark Stalkers, King of Fighters, Mega Man ZX, Ikaruga, Macross: Do You Remember Love, Raiden Trad, Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Valkyria Chronicles, Professor Layton, Killer7

Games on my mind:
Super Street Fighter II HD Remix (PS3)
King of Fighters XII (PS3)
King of Fighters XIII
King of Fighters 2k2: UM (PS2)

"I contain multitudes"
nilcam \| 1:51 PM on 05.06.2008	15 comments

I just placed an order at buy.com, an order that is the epitome of my gaming interests. I ordered Shikigami no Shiro III (Wii) and Let's Yoga (DS). It was somewhat strange seeing these games side-by-side, a shmup and an exergame, both being ordered for the same gamer.

Luckily, dsfanboy.com is running a week-long series on Let's Yoga that shows the more intense side of Let's Yoga and reveals one of the few cash-ins that Capcom missed.

Let's YOGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH :-)

MechaMonkey

Wait.

Please tell me "Let's Yoga" actually features Dhalsim.

nilcam

It does not. Konami is behind Let's Yoga. Capcom really dropped the ball on this one. Learning Yoga with Dhalsim would be the greatest game ever.

blehman

...do you really have an ad on your profile?

nilcam

@blehman: Do you have a Wii? I put up the ad to see how long it would take someone to notice it. I'll gift you a VC game as a prize and, finally, the ad will be retired.

king3vbo

dsfanboy?

......do I even need to light up my flamestick?

blehman

ZOMG really? That's awesome, and yes. Pm or e-mail me blehman646[@]gmail.com. Actually, pm I don't have much internet connectivity.

nilcam

@king3vbo: You can light the flamestick if you want to. I figure that dsfanboy did an awesome banner and I wanted to share it plus I've seen entries on the main page by staff writers which either link to or mention that site. It's all good to me.

I noticed the ad but I didn't make anything of it since it wasn't something irrelevant or distracting. How slow and boorish of me not to bring it up. Oh well, congratulations blehman.

I think that if this game was created by Capcom, they would be on the receiving end of a class-action lawsuit.

I have Shikigami no Shiro II on dreamcast... god what a great game.

Cyberxion

So I've noticed that you're into games that evoke an old-school vibe. I'm not going anywhere with that observation, it's just sort of cool to see that sort of gamer these days.

nilcam

@dephect: I have Shikigami II for the Gamecube. I bought the limited edition that came with a figure of the cat. It's a great game.

@Cyberxion: I am old-school. I started hardcore in the arcades, spending a week's allowance mastering Joust. The first console I had at home was the Atari 2600. I started buying my own games when I hit college during the SNES/Genesis/TG-16 era. My first system was the TG-16 with CD add on. Once the TG-16 was dead in America I bought an SNES. I've not outgrown that.

@the Excel: Why would Capcom be sued for making a yoga game?

Excel-2011

Not so much that they would make one in the first place, but given the implications in that banner I would think hundreds of people would injure themselves if not punch holes in their walls trying even the most basic exercises. Being able to stretch your limbs three times their natural length is an irresistible draw for some people to say the least. Lord knows I would wanna.

Cyberxion

Good stuff nilcam. It's just unusual in this day and age, where amazingly life-like graphics take precedence over having a good time.
