@Ooyah Oops! I'd be way more interested if that was what GTA was about! A genuine mistake that I missed two weeks in a row apparently, so I've fixed it.
@WoomyNNYes Yeah, it's especially alarming given that these are games marketed at kids (because Disney).
And, oh yeah, Speedstorm is indeed made by Gameloft too! Totally blanked there. I'll update article with that - thanks for reminding me (despite the fact that I've written about that game before!)
@John_Deacon I actually don't know I'm afraid. Sega has been advertising it as S3&K almost exclusively, I think? So it's sounding like they're not playable separately. I hope they are, but I can't say for certain right now. Let me tweak the wording in the article, since I don't want to mislead people.
@InkIdols Originally, the collection was going to be coming to Switch first. Other consoles were confirmed but with no date (https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2022/02/klonoa-phantasy-reverie-series-remasters-the-playstation-platformers-for-ps5-ps4)
The tweet from yesterday confirms that all other releases will now be coming out on the same day. So I suppose it doesn't mention the Switch version because we already knew it was coming on 8th July
@HollowSpectre In 2 on PS2, the second player could control Popka to give Klonoa a boost while jumping, but I assume it'll be much more than that. Probably just a second character on screen playing. Not sure how it'll work in Door to Phantomile with Huepow. Maybe similar to Mario Galaxy?
@KingMike from reading around, I thought Gaplus was renamed Galaga 3 at some point for brand recognition? Or at least the arcade cabinets were. I might be missing something here, though. I'm admittedly not an expert https://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=7884
@Otoemetry I remember it being pretty small comparatively! I don't really have an excuse for not owning it. Maybe a dream rerelease will fix that — I shouldn't get my hopes up, though.
@YoshiFlutterJump thank you so much! No Wii U anymore sadly, but that's really good advice for Robobot and Star Allies. One of the older ones is definitely looking like the way to go.
@Samuel-Flutter Totally agree! It's my favourite soundtrack ever. I didn't include it here this time since I'm sure we will spotlight it way more prominently in the lead-up to Radical Dreamers Edition. I'll make sure of it anyway!

Re: Disney Dreamlight Valley Is A Free-To-Play Life-Sim That's Coming To Switch In 2023

@KingMike Probably! If we get any more official or concrete info I'll update.

Re: Feature: 'AI: The Somnium Files - nirvanA Initiative' Director Talks New Gameplay Features
@Bobb oh no I meant the latter, haha. Uchikoshi has a similar sense of humour so I assume the people he works closely with are pretty similar!
Re: Feature: 'AI: The Somnium Files - nirvanA Initiative' Director Talks New Gameplay Features
@Bobb I imagine you've got to have a sense of humour, working with Uchikoshi and all!

Re: UK Charts: Kirby Crashes Out Of The Top Ten As LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Retains Top Spot
@GannonBanned no guarantees but I'll pass the idea along!

Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge Hones In On Summer Release
@ZZalapski yup, already removed that! Rookie mistake.
Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge Hones In On Summer Release
@CompanionCube...well that's a big mistake from me! I'll change that.
Re: Galaga Sequel 'Gaplus' Is The Next Arcade Archives Game On Switch
@anoyonmus It's weird that you can't get it on Switch on its own. It's on Namco Museum, at least...?
Re: Gallery: Here's A Closer Look At The Earlier Than Expected Xenoblade Chronicles 3
You know, I totally forgot to even put Vandham's localised name there — so thanks for focusing on that, folks, I've popped it in the article.
He's also based on Vanderkam from -saga, right? https://xenosaga.fandom.com/wiki/Vanderkam

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Gets A Release Date, And It's Sooner Than You Think
Time to add to my Xenoblade DE and Xenoblade 2 special editions (I missed one for X!)
Re: Random: Princess Peach Could've Looked Very Different According To Early Merch
@bluesun Thanks for this! I've updated the story with the listing and the old Tweet!
Re: The Switch Was Europe's Best-Selling Console In March As Kirby Sucks Up Sales
@Rambler yeaaah let's change that to "up". In gives the wrong impression!
Re: Video: See Behind-The-Scenes Of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge
@Desrever Not anymore! Thanks for letting me know.
Re: Nintendo Make Changes To Switch Online's Automatic Renewals
@WoomyNNYes I absolutely should've included its full name! I've added it in now would've saved you (and others) a Google!
Re: Suikoden Successor Spin-Off 'Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising' Launches On Switch This May
@gcunit If only...
Re: Japanese Charts: Pokémon Legends: Arceus Can't Stop Chaos As Stranger Of Paradise Takes Top Spot
@RR529 Ooops! I got the two mixed up, stupidly. Fixed. Thanks for spotting the error.
Re: Japanese Charts: Pokémon Legends: Arceus Can't Stop Chaos As Stranger Of Paradise Takes Top Spot
@BenAV Nope, genuine error copied from the source. I swapped PS5 and the Lite since, yeah, PS5 has the higher figures.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 19th)
@YoshiFlutterJump thank you so much! No Wii U anymore sadly, but that's really good advice for Robobot and Star Allies. One of the older ones is definitely looking like the way to go.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 19th)
@Munchlax Definitely one I've got then! thanks!
Re: Chrono Trigger, Secret Of Mana, And Final Fantasy Soundtracks Appear On Square Enix's Music Channel

Re: Random: Let Psyduck Spray Your Tea For You With This Adorable Pokémon Teapot
@Markiemania95 Thanks for spotting! Me too, and obviously even when I checked I imagined the extra h. I've fixed the typo.
