Streets of rage 1 is my favorite. Streets of rage 4 is a close second but I don't like how the best characters are reliant on button combos like it's a darn fighting game. The absent to choose legacy streets of rage 1 characters is a nice feature but it's ruined by the inability to select a turbo function so I don't have to master button constantly. (Growing up my brother and I had turbo controllers for the Sega Genesis. It was awesome. Also, The Xbox 360 The Xbox 360 trilogy port had a turbo function along with how fast you want it to speed of the turbo, it was a little ridiculous but I'm so glad it was there) But without such an essential feature for the characters I really want to play as I'm left matching the buttons thus I just don't like Streets of rage 4 that much. Missed opportunity for an otherwise great game. (Yes I do realize I'm into minority of people with this problem)

I got to be honest, I use turbo on almost everything. It's a hold over for the 90's I just can't let go of. Unfortunately, my turbo controller doesn't work with the Master System, so back to regular button bashing for this one. I haven't played SoR4, keep meaning to give it a go, I'm just such a fan of the originals, I feel I'm predestined to not like it 😛

@@criticalwrankerplays I really want turbo controllers to make a return but honestly I lost hope since I've been wanting them for the past like 10 to 20 years. I haven't had one since the N64.

It comes under Shmups (Shoot 'em ups), and I absolutely love this game. Played Master System version all the time back in the day on my Game Gear, with the master converter. You are right though, it's not my favourite genre, but I need to play a wider range of games and the PC Engine's biggest genre is the Shmup.

My favorite Streets of rage character is Adam. If my co-op buddy chooses Adam then I'll just choose blaze because I always go for the character with high jumping capability, and blaze makes up for the lack of strength with the speed. Axel is my least favorite character lol. I have an email rant to send about Streets of rage.

I have never played any of the Metroid games and I'm happy to live the rest of my life never doing so. At least not by myself, I am an advocate for single player games with two people sitting on the same couch occasionally taking turns and the other one just talking shit. That's the only way I could get into something like Majora's mask or Yoshi's world games. I just don't like new experiences of games I would normally like. And I surely wouldn't ever play through new games that I already know I wouldn't like such as the modern games etc.
