I thought so too, but isn't Stryder a ninja from the future or something?
That's why I said "attempting"...
Hmm, 2048... maybe man discovered time travel in 2050?

Yes, Hiryu is from the future. He probably fell through a time warp, or something.
Mosquiton: YES, DAMND!!! Somebody agrees with me! And I think Sakura ought to be in it, too... or perhaps Zaki, eh?
One of Damnd's supers could be the whistle, where he calls out his main man Bred and his homey Two P to help him out. What would be cool is if they had their own AI instead of being part of a choreographed sequence... probably not a realistic hope though. But hey, he was in Card Fighter's Clash.
I really liked Zaki, with the exception of her chain swing being too slow and I'm not too fond of her team up attack.

Strider 2 (the real one) IS fun, but I think its silly how the PSX gives you infinite credits, coupled with short levels, and being able to skip to the last two levels after playing the first, it is a VERY easy game.
I'd like to see a new Strider akin to Shinobi for PS2, in true 3d and not a side scroller, I think it could be done without ruining the spirit of the originals.
Something like that could be very, very cool... I mean, Shinobi already ripped the awesome scarf and all. As much as I'd rather see a new Strider that plays like the original, either in 2D or 2.5D... sorta like Strider 2, but involving more platform skill.. moving into new ground would be acceptable if it wasn't so damn easy!
What I really like about classic revivals like Shinobi and Contra: Shattered Soldier is that they still have the flavor of the originals. That, and they're as tough as nails. I think the majority of games have been depressingly easy these days, and when a new game kicks my ass, I'm pretty happy about it.
I've already bitched about Strider 2 on another thread. It was too easy, yeah, but it reflected the Hiryu character the way people see him now. A lot of people who never knew he existed before his reinvention in MvC would find the original Strider to be strange. They expect to see this insanely fast, unstoppable badass leaping all over the place, scarf flying. And I guess in that aspect, Strider 2 doesn't disappoint.
And I hope Hiryu's the same way in CFAS. And it is good to see another game featuring Mike Haggar that doesn't happen to be Final Fight Revenge. I'd love to get a copy of that game, crappy or not, for either my Saturn or my ST-V board, but it looks like either way I'd go bankrupt. Damn.

As you say, it's crappy, but last time I checked, it was incredibly cheap for Saturn (and ST-V carts are generally even cheaper than the home versions). I was LUCKY I ditched mine before people realized it was bad.
A lot of the pricing problems have to do with it being a rarity, crappy or not. There's a Japanese FFR cart for $99 on eBay now. No bids, and I doubt there will be. If it was half that, I might throw in the cash just to pick up what is, to me, largely a curiosity. But I'd rather spend the money on ST-V carts I actually want to play. Radiant Silvergun and Sokyugurentai are usually cheaper than their Saturn counterparts, yeah, which is very cool.
And at the same time, I'm saving up for an MVS board, and keeping an eye out for CPS3 stuff. There's never enough money to go around, with all the cool stuff out there.

Oh, and what's wrong with the US release of Magical Drop 3? Just curious.
All voices were cut out. There's only ONE voice for ALL the characters. Even the European version at least had different male and female voices and a different voice for the Fool at least (even if less than the Japanese version, which had unique voices for everyone), but for the US version, every character shares the same generic voice.
The ENTIRE plot was cut out. EVERYTHING, from the intro to individual character to character dialogues to individual endings, even. There's just three generic dialogues everyone does to each other and everyone gets the same shortened cut ending (akin to SFA3's endings on the Gameboy Advance, really, though there's no excuse here besides pure translating laziness)
Some other things were toned down like how the magical journey mode has you going by yourself instead of vs other computer opponents, and there's no hard mode, but the worst things are the two above, I think.

Whoa, back up. I thought all MVS carts were compatible with all systems... Shows how little I know about SNK hardware. I though the same about AES, too.
I remember hearing about MVS boards that could take connections to AES controllers, once. I need to research some of this stuff, as I really have no clue what I'm looking for.
You're right, they are; However, Japanese MVS boards play all games in them as Japanese games (pop a U.S. Magical Drop 3 cart in, it comes out Japanese ) , while American MVS do just the opposite ( pop in a Japanese Ninja Master's, it comes out in English). You can get mods, but getting the cart system modded is better. Also, yes, some MVS boards DO take home cart sticks (some even have head phone jacks!)
Oh, and be careful with the usage of " AES " , now. ;D It's a dirty word!

Did you contribute this?
Yes, we were doing our shopping together, and I bought Arcadia, and he wanted a few scans and I said "sure".
But Fabien, who is an even bigger hype slut than I am, didn't used my scan of last mounth' Arcadia, with the other alternate costumes (Ingrid, DD and Marlboro). I scanned it with all my love, my scan of DD's new costume was really great, it was even better than in the magazine, it was only a 45Mo GIF, I don't understand why he didn't used it. That makes me a SAAAD panda.
However, I'm not the one who contributed this, and that makes me an even more sad panda.
おおむね大好評よ！
