If there was any game that you'd like to see become a retro revival what would it be?

Topher, what do you think about Galaga Legions? Have you gotten to try it out yet?

Chad, how addicted to Geometry Wars 2 are you? :P

What games are you all looking the most forward to this year?

Thanks guys on another batch of amazing episodes! <3

If Megaman 9 were to be ported down to NES and released as a limited edition NES cart, would any of you buy it?

OMG EARLY RETROFORCE AWESOME. Before I ask my question, I must comment on your picture topher. I understand that is a microphone but it looks waaaaay to phallic. Just saying.

Anyways, question time, for everybody, what do you think about the purposeful inclusion of NES glitches limitations in Mega man 9? Is this something you think will impact the feel of the game, or do you think that you might not notice it while having too much fun with the game?

Thanks for your time retroforce, you guys are awesome!

Oh, I just thought of one: If Goemon got into a fight with Candlejack, who do you thi

When, if ever, will you consider the original playstation and systems released after it retro? Do you think this is a matter of personal opinion or is there something about games made up to the 16-bit era that was lost in subsequent eras?

We're on to new monthly musings, but still:
What's your favorite retro character?
Favorite NPC?
Favorite overall character?

I Was Just Wondering What your opinions on Illusion of Gaia on the Super Nintendo were. I personally wish i could find a copy of this game or find a legal way to play it again.
and just in case you have no idea what game I'm talking about (which i doubt cause you guys rock) here's a Wikipedia link
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusion_of_Gaia

Will you Castle Crash with me some time?

What's the most recent retro game you have played? I played the first Mega Man the other day, only had to cheat a little bit to get past that bastard Yellow Devil. Then I kept dying at some other part in Wily's castle so I quit. I have beaten it before though.

What do you guys think of the option to add graphical glitches to Megaman 9?, I think CAPCOM is awesome for putting so much effort to emulate the experience of the NES games.

Would you guys like to see a DS port of Braid. I mean, come on. That game on the bus. Surely that's the antithesis to throw up on bread. Maybe, Pepsi flavoured ice-cream, with slurpee on top, draped in awesome sauce and sprinkles. Surely?

By the way when's Dyson coming back? I miss Dyson. Also, when Dyson does come back are Chad and he going to fight over who gets to be RFGO! host? It could be Chad's warm-up for the epic battle with Anthony on the volcano.

Prepare to be assaulted with questions!

Why does chad love Dolphins, hasn't he heard about whales?

You can ALWAYS count on whales.

I found this image in my search for engrish in video games and its one of the best quotes ever. No clue what game it came from. Does anyone know?

Can each member of retroforce agree on what the best games for each console is? Just name a handful of games each. I'm sure there are lots of great games no ones ever heard of. Like my favorite game Zombies Ate My Neighbors. Did any of you guys play that 16-bit classic? I could name off a lot of games asking "oh hey did you play," so I'll only mention a few I think may have slipped under some peoples radar.

Demons Crest series has you played it? If you ever do a ghouls and ghost show you can't forget to bring a towel and discuss at length the amazing amounts of awesome contained within the spinoff Demons Crest and the nes game Gargoyles Quest 2. If you've never heard of these, they're games starring the Red Demon you occasionally fight in Ghouls & Ghosts.

How about Earthworm Jim? I consider both those games to be some of the greatest ever. Surely those two would be worth talking about if only for the insanity of the game. Something attracted me to the series as soon as I heard you can attack people with your face. Not to mention cow launching, epic battles with a goldfish in a bowl, a level where you become a blind cave salamander, the door chase, the what the heck level, and so much other fun times.

The Suikoden series! 1 & 2 are 2D role playing games on playstation one. They're nothing short of epic and both feature a 108 recruitable characters. The storylines both feel really good with lots of memorable characters and moments. If you or anyone reading this likes RPGs (and I know some of you do) play Suikoden 1 AND 2. Also I want to hear you guys try and pronounce the name. If you have saved data from it and you play Metal Gear Solid Pyscho Mantis says the name, but really, just looking at that word is painful to my brains. But the games are a MUST PLAY.

A final question:

How could you guys not buy push ups ALL the time? Pizza Rolls are a decent frozen treat, but push ups are the greatest.



The fact that you can get them for free Chad makes me sad.

Chad discuss what would happen if blast corps, mario rpg and mega man 9 came out the same day on the wii.

In the midst of some epic remakes of retro classics like Bionic Commando ReArmed and Final Fantasy 4, I've been thinking...

If you could remake any 1 BAD game, what would it be and why would you do it?

Firstly, is it just me or when you finish listening to RetroforceGO! you find yourself saying "amazing" constantly for the next hour and a half.

Also,do you think that more developers will go the route of Mega Man 9 and add glitches to their games to create a more retro feel or is what Mega Man 9 doing just a gimmick?

Hey guys, I came up with the RFGO drinking game!

Have a drink every time:

Topher mentions food
Dolphins are mentioned
Dyson finds something at goodwill
Colette mentions Zelda
Dreamcast is mentioned
Chad laughs hysterically
Someone mispronounces something
The term "NOT download" is used
There is a guest host
Someone is in the bucket
A haiku is read
The RetroPhone (TM) calls
Someone's Skype breaks
A movie is quoted
Fap

If you were an npc, what would you be? Since youre retro, you only get to have one line that you repeat every time the player hits the A button. What doyou say?

Hey guys, I know that all of you like to rag on sports games, and you guys can't understand why somebody would play a game like Makeadden. Well, my cousin use to love to play football, (it was basically his whole life) until one day he was in a terrible car crash and he lost one of his legs. Now Madden is the only way he can really play football (besides wheel chair football) and Madden is really the only thing that brings a smile to his face now.

This wasn't really a question, I just wanted you guys to know this.

W00t Otakon is just a short day away!(And a 12 hour ride from Michigan). I am on staff and will be working the HD Theater during Afro Samurai and some DBZ movie, so stop by and say herro.

As for a question, how do you keep/store all your retro stuff? Do you have a room for it? Is it in the corner of your room with dirty laundry/etc. on top? Sitting proudly in the main entertainment center? Or have you had to do as I did and box up most of it (all my sega stuff/nes/n64/ps1) and move it to the attic :(

Request: Would Topher kindly sing "Baby Universe" from We ♥ Katamari?

Speaking of musicals, have you guys seen Joss Whedon's Dr. Horrible Sing Along Blog starring Neil Patrick Harris? When will RFGO have a musical episode/sing along blog like that?

Cant wait to hear this episode!!!

Questions for you all: If you could take a series that has been only 3d and have the developers create a new 8-bit or 2d game, which series would you choose and do you think this would improve the series?

Which would you rather have? Mother 3 to be translated and brought to North America as a DS title OR a new Mother title for a console?

A proposition! Let's say Mega Man 10 is in the works, all cast members of RFGO! are to make or give an idea for a Robot Master.

And can you all sing something cute for us? Anything will do.

Romance and sexuality in video games has always been a hot topic, most games have badly done romances with no amount of physical intimacy for fear of media assault. Mass Effect did a good job of making the romance seem somewhat natural, or at least as natural as a romance can get when two characters flirt by standing three to five feet apart with blank expressions and deadpan voices.

Well I can deal with the lack of seeing the characters of a game hold hands or hug there is one thing that bothers me: Why do you think that most games which include an optional romance plot allow for only heterosexual and lesbian relationships? Can the industry even claim to be a progressive and open minded industry where the selling points are guns, guts, and tits. And will we ever see a serious take on homosexual relationships in games?
