(I thought about using triggers or something to adjust what set of buttons I'm working with like all attacks then hit a button to switch to finishers on my rogue... it'd be interesting).

The 360 controller has 16 buttons if you count the d-pad directionals, start, and back.

4 face buttons
2 triggers
2 shoulder buttons
1 left analog stick button
1 right analog stick button
4 d-pad directionals
1 start button
1 back button

Can you play with more than one person on the same console?

I didn't see it, but I could've overlooked it. Just played with 3 other guys online, and it was awesome fun. Only one guy dropped out towards the end of the 2nd level, and the host decided to quit once we reached the beginning of the 4th level. We were getting low on lives anyway, it's all too easy to lose track of what you're doing when there's 4 turtles and about 15 enemies on the screen all at once .

Heh... I actually thought about the Guide button, but I didn't know if it could actually be used for anything else. I guess in Aikouka's case where he was using it on a PC it might be possible to use it for an in-game function.

How do the lives work? They are actually limited? I was worried they would do the infinite credit thing like Gauntlet and thus ruin the game.

More Price drop rumors in may: http://gigagamez.com/2007/03/13/microso...ent-on-rumor-of-360-price-drop-in-may/

Article says that they are going to do away with the 299 version, drop the price on the 399 to 299 and release the zephyr black at 400.

That's why I said "like 10"

Also, d-pad directionals start and back would most likely refer to menus and moving.. I wouldn't count that in telling someone they got pwned by a controller .

Yes you can play with more than one person on the same console. My son and I already played through it. You just select A, B, X, or Y to choose which Turtle you want to play.

I forgot how well this game was designed to suck quarters down. You die ALOT.

I hope we'll start seeing some of the other great arcade 4-player beat'em up games like "X-Men" and "Captain America and the Avengers" now.

Crank was my first HD rental on the Marketplace. It looked damn good, but I can't justify paying $6 for a rental any longer past my trial rent of curiosity.

Me and 3 others got to Krane last night but died there Brings back some classic memories. my only complaint was it was laggy as hell, but I think someone just had a horrible connection. Super fun though

Is anyone else itching for Tuesday so that they can pick up Virtua Tennis 3 and UEFA Champions League

 

[PricklyPete]

Man...playing TMNT Arcade at lunch today got me all tingly inside thinking about playing it in the arcade as a kid. I loved this game. Sure, the graphics suck by todays standards...but I just loved this game. Kudos that they only made it $5 too...that is what these arcade ports should cost.

Some of those achievements for TMNT are ridiculous, such as beating bosses and only losing 1 bar of health. WTF, it's impossible to not get hit.

I'm not sure if this would work, but you could always play multiplayer (the more people the better), and just dodge attacks and bullets while the other guys beat the boss.

Yup. There's also "techniques" that I forgot that people told me about last night. (Like Krane - get close to him and jump kick - you land far enough that he can't hit you) The one guy that lived beat him by himself that way...and subsequently got pwned by Shredder. I still like blurred's idea though.

This is the one with the miniature spartan helmet that holds the all the discs that come with it. "Regular" limited edition is still $69.99, with the regular game coming in at $59.99.

Also, rumors that Halo 3 will be released in September....

Well, if I'm not mistaken, SOTN is the first Live Arcade title to take advantage of the new 150MB filesize limit, so you're going to have to pony up $50 for a new 512MB memory card just to play it. The even worse news? That card doesn't release until next month.

I could be wrong on the filesize, though, so somebody correct me if I am.
