Imagen
Macross 25th anniversary brings a delightfull series for us the macross fans all over the world, Macross Frontier. After a long wait we have the new series that ties not just Macross Love Story but also Macross Zero (a story about Macross before it was launched into space, giving us details of the origins of protoculture) is refreshing to see how the story involves the Macross chronology in a perfect balance, as one of my friends told me "was good to see the old zentrans" and i have to agree, after a dissapointing Macross 7 this series is a delight to us the Macross fans. Macross Frontier introduce a new and fearsome enemy known as the Vajra (which origin i am not going to spoil) these monsters have been attacking and destroying the different Macross convoys, first Galaxy and now they have found Frontier... Macross Frontier Starting from the opening, Triangular by Maaya Sakamoto, is excelent and a soundtrack composed by Yoko Kanno, great story and of course a superb animation

I believe there's 3 control pads that made a change in the videogame history, the nintendo control pad,the super famicom (super nes) and the playstation dual shock. (edited after a chat with leoman) Famicom Control Pad The first and probably one of the first that changed the way we played videogames, the nintendo (8 bit) control pad, before people played with a joystick (atari, coleco, etc) this was one of the first controls that changed the way we played video games including A, B, Start and Select (thanks to leoman for the very acertive reminder) Super Famicom Control Pad Why do i affirm this? is simple, before nintendo released a revolutionary pad with 4 buttons and two buttons in the top (for the pointer fingers) everyone was used to play with just A,B, start and select. Truth, Sega Mega Drive had a 3 button control pad, but many developers never used the third button, later as the super famicom was such a hit and a great innovation sega released a 6 button control pad... again
