The ICE man does not frack around when it comes to the video FIGHTING game bizzz... I make it my business to know the shiznit. So let's just call this the NEWZ.

#1 ZELDA 64 - This might be the flacking shiznit that saves Nintendo's ass. I have been playing an early copy and man is it slow. Still has alot of pop ups and the text can't be sped up. Good Poly's? Yea OK.. Nothing that has not been done before. From my stand point, good game? Yes, but don't let it fool ya. Just because it took you two weeks to beat does not meen you played it that long. If you think about it, you were actually reading most of the time.

#2 I heard a little birdy say that a game made by Rare is up and coming!!!! For the 64, and it's a fighting game (of course). How would you feel when your buddy kicks your face off with....Mario, Donkey Kong, Link, or maybe a girl (Samus Aran) from Metriod?? This should be a sweet game and I can't wait to see the game play.

#3 Check your head the Dreamcast is out and it is live. Not for another year here in the Home of the Brave. Damn, I wish I could be a NINJA. Cause if I was then I would own A DREAMCAST now. Those lucky, little short people... From what my boy tells me VF3 team battle is the sweet mothers milky style.

#4 Let me clear my throat and let all the fly skimmes feel the beat..nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn... DROP!! If you have not made it to your local arcade to play KOF (King of Fighters) '98 kill yourself and call me in the morning. 2D Insaneness and sweet backgrounds. A fat line up of all your fav's from Art of Fighting to Fatal Fury and alot of new faces that I love SNK for. This game is loaded huge. Supers!!!!! OH HELL YEAH! Gameplay much to deep for the average Joe.

#5 Street Fighter 3: 3rd Impact is in the works, AS well as Last Blade 2 for the NEO GEO. Namco, Capcom have signed on to develop for the Dreamcast. Come on Square don't be afraid, you can do it. You can do it all night long.

Well that is the NEWZ from the low key Iceman, now it is time for a beer and a chew. I will get to the goodness as soon as I write about a little thing called WHAT!!!

WHATT!!!!!

Greedy, Spoiled little American's

Every day I hear another person say, man I can't wait for Tekken 5 or Street Fighter Next, or Final Fight 27.

It just seems that no body cares about now in the arcades. Half of the new games out, don't get played enough because of the so called masters out there. You think just because you beat a game one time with one person your the man and you are a master. Wrong!!! This goes for all kinds of games.

Just because I have played Street Fighter for 8 years and I have opened a few cans of whoop ass, does not mean I'm a God!!! The way I think about it is I'm just starting. There is a lot more out there than an ending or a two in one. [N8 Note: If you don't know what a two in one is please find a new hobby besides fighting games, trust me you'll thank me!]

So before you say I can't wait for the next *Insert game franchise here* think about this:

1 have you beat the game in every way possible?
2 do you have enough skills to beat DR.DAWG or ICE or MR.X?
3 can you play with all the characters? Really well?
4 Do you have combos that can connect with a live player?
5 Have you exploited all the games cheats?

If you can say yes to all of these than maybe you are ready to try a new game. Be happy with what you have and get better at chewing up the competition, before you talk shiznit.

I know this import is a little old but it has alot of Jew boy lovin.

The game itself is made by Atlus the company that made Power Instinct 1,2, and 3. This game is 2D and the game comes with a 3meg back up cart. So you know that the flavor is all there. Yes the art is all there on the players. The players are all well drawn and are all very different.

This game is also a tag team game, and yes I can say it was my first home tag team game. The story is hard to follow. Why? I'm not from Japan. Control factor is all there. Great responsive commands make this game alot like an old school SNK game. Tell you the truth the back grounds blow little bits of dawg ass. There is not alot to them. Very boring. However the music kicks the beat of a different drum, dum diddide dum dum.

As for the players they are all so cool! From the witch to a crazy guy with leeches. And for all those politically correct people there is even a homosexual man in the game. [N8 Note: As well as a team comprised of lesbians!] They all have wild and crazy moves! Have you ever seen a old lady hit somebody with her twin sister? I have! How about a guy eho throwd you with his teeth and then your head sticks in the ground?

I can say I have always liked playing this game. It is so out there and no other game has it's good points.

Along with tag team mode, you also have Shadowmoves that can crush your opponent. You can also tag in and out whenever you want. Or you can smack the other player with your teammate. When a player is KO'ed you can throw their body at the other player. Good endings with a twist and 2 hidden players make this game have a sweet line up of players.

There are extra goodies like picture's to gaze at and some other modes to keep you kickin' for a while. What I really like is the huge fat combos you get to link and mix up.

If you are looking for a crazy style game that will keep you coming back for more hook it up! Gamecave or Japan Video Games.

Love, Peace and Whole Wheat Grease.
