>you will never be in the 1990s playing totally rad arcade games ever again
yes.
that is how linear beings perceive time.
>>322989947
I surely don't miss the car bombs and terrorists attacking the capital once in a while. Fuck the early 90s
>>322989947
Good.
The arcades back then were full of bullies and general teenage scum. I'm glad they died were I live, one place less for them to gather in.

Is this even worth reading or has it gone to shit?
japanese people know what mortal kombat is?
whoa
>>322993556She literally returns during volume 2
Suspension of disbelief broken because there's no way two separate girls would fall for a guy who only knows how to talk about video games.
>tfw no hi score gf
>>322991986
HI Score Girl, the art isn't amazing but the story's sweet and concentrates more on the boy's love for arcade games.
Netherrealm/WB should sue Squeenix for that like SNK did.
You can tell the author is writing this from personal experience, this shit is real.
I don't really have fun with fightan games but this manga made me want to pick them up.
>>322995642
He is a legitimate fighting game player.
I think he mostly plays Vsav. He mains Victor.

Dude what happened, bad week of vsav.
>>322997885
It's still ongoing.
>>322997885
The lawsuit resolved in mid 2015, they're free to publish it again.
>>322989947
best videogame manga period.
glad it wasn't shut down after all
>>322998492
Wat is this? Lawsuit? Explain.
>>322999140
SNK sued them for using images of their characters without permission, it stopped them from publishing or selling copies of the manga for a while.
>>322999140
not that anon, but if I recall correctly SNK used lawsuit against manga and forced it to be call out from store shelves cause manga used their SNK characters without permission and/or royalities.
>>322989947
This place exists. And its fucking awesome.
>>322989947
i always thought it was called mortal combat because the gods made/watched the mortals fight
>>322997979

Hidaka deserves to win
>>322999403
>>322999327
They settled out of court, but SNK got the rights to make videogames based on the manga.

How do you make a video game about people playing video games and occasionally minor romance stuff?

Well shyet.

Arcade Tycoon, mixed with the Sims?
>>322999896
Scott Pilgrim game graphics and beat-em-up mixed with a dating sim ? Fuck if I know.
>>322999896
Knowing SNK it will be videopachislot with a manga theme.
>>322999612
what is the K for then?
>not a reverse trap
Wasted potential desu
what chapter are they on now?
highest chapter i can find is 29
still waiting on the game between best girl and MC
>>323001870
yeah, that's the last translated one as far I'm aware
I miss playing snow bros with my bros...
I heard Capcom sued the manga author. Is it still being made?
>>323002264
it was SNK, and it all got all resolved.
>>322999785
Holy shit, what dickery. Capcom of all devs were fine with their shit used the manga and even gave their blessing since it's free publicity.
>>323003647
Copyright law is really weird in Japan. It's serious business.

>>322993713
This. I thought their bigotry wouldn't allow them to play non Jap games.
>>323007803
They played western games in the 80's and 90's and realized it's shit and then never played it anymore.
>>323008279
They must feel silly now that western games are infinitely better than nipshit, huh
>>323005069
He always picks the try hard characters. That is kind of his thing.
The girl picks big body characters.
The author himself is a big body player.

SNK sued Sega over this manga
>>323003647
If you aren't seen by the courts to be defending/imposing your copyright you can lose it
If someone came along 5 years later and was using SNK characters the courts could say 'Well you knew about this infringement and let it go in the past, I don't see what's different now' and it can ultimately lead to them being seen as abandoning it
I'm not sure if Japanese Law sees it like that, but that's a pretty common thing in IP
>>323009824
>not comically casualised like SF4/5
>not moeshit kusoge like arcsys or any other anime fighter
>plays better than any of them
>but because it's not made by muh nip overlords my weeb honoru won't let me admit it's the better game
The best thing is the West even beats Japan at anime fighters now that Skullgirls is out. All weebs have left to cling to is Tekken.
>>323011220
It was casualised in the first place, it's barely functional as a competitive game. People play MK for the story mode, it's aimed at casuals.
Is there any other decent vidya manga/anime?
>>322989947
I still live in hope that one day there will be arcades again with Omnitrix treadmills, haptic feedback vests and VR headsets where you can go and play Unreal or Halo or something - a bit like going out to play Lasertag or paintball
>>323011353
really can't think of any.
that's why Hi Score Girl this popular, it's one of the very few if not only decent one.
>>323011220

>>323012236

to be fair there are some good PC releases, but mostly niche titles.
But not much such on consoles, aside of indie ports.
>>322989947
>Implying that the current generation isn't much better and much more beautiful
I honestly don't care because current games are much better. Plus during arcade era, games were more expensive and you had to waste so much time waiting in line for someone to finish
>>323012625
What game?
There are two types of indy: Games and Pretentious Art House.
Examina is one of the best games I played last year.
>>323016238
Brigador, it's early access tho, so you probably should wait till release.
It works fine, what will be added is mostly content itself.
>this fucking manga
I came for laughs and I got feels
>>323000764
>Knowing SNK it will be videopachislot
SNK doesn't make pachi anymore. You can thank new Japanese legislation for that, probably also the Chinese buyout.
>Manga about cute loli playing vidya
>Gets cancelled because SNK gets butthurt
I'm still mad.
>>323020468
Read the thread. It's not cancelled, the lawsuit was settled. It has less to do with SNK being butthurt and more to do with the possible ramifications of SNK not protecting their IP's when someone else uses them without permission.
>>323020580
