Board 8 > 1up has been absolutely killing it lately.

(+) Yeah! (+)

just some examples of things they've done this week:

- Takashi Nishiyama, the man who created Street Fighter and Fatal Fury, gives his first interview in 12 years - http://www.1up.com/features/the-man-who-created-street-fighter
- Interview with Sakaguchi about FF1's development - http://www.1up.com/news/hironobu-sakaguchi-final-fantasy-roller-coaster
- Suikoden retrospective: why it was great and what other games could learn from it - http://www.1up.com/features/retrospective-secrets-suikoden-success
- Site-wide video game music contest - http://www.1up.com/features/vote-greatest-music-time

they promoted Jeremy Parish to Editor-in-Chief a few months ago and their website turned it around nearly instantly.

iphonesience

I feel like watching Space Battleship Yamato now

Oh SuperNiceDog's doing it again dude.
SuperNiceDog, you ain't no pimp dude

For the record, Captain Harlock is even better, way cool 70s anime by Matsumoto.

Hell yeah SF, FF, and KoF.

One Piece: Pirates with style!

Parish should have been promoted a long time ago. Awesome dude.

"When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it. I had time, but I did not know it."

Hmmm, so 1up's just including streaming youtube embeds to let people listen to the songs before voting, and it seems to be working fine...

There's hope for the GameFAQs VGM Battle yet!

Best Show ever? Our interview of Guru Champ SuperNiceDog!

Well just take a look at Captain Harlock .

How does that NOT scream "I am Awesome"

Oh SuperNiceDog's doing it again dude.
SuperNiceDog, you ain't no pimp dude

so from the interview Nishiyama I came away thinking that he's a very odd fellow, especially since he makes game he wouldn't even play

but at least I know the origins of Dimps now because I remember them just sort of popping up out of nowhere one day and being involved with a lot of games

Dimps reminds me of TOSE. such a weird concept to me.

Good job SuperNiceDog

I don't know what's worse, Konami killing Suikoden or Konami killing the rhythm dance genre

Music contest, and they represent Secret of Mana with....the Oracle.

Guys, this isn't '95. That music was good then because there was nothing like it. It just sounds like crap now. Fear of the Heavens, pls. OK, I'm a fanboy, I still love it, but I know nobody else will.
