Dreamcast still were getting games in the late 2000s?

A peeve of mine is how Splatoon 3's direction spends too much focus on making the outside aesthetic of Turf Maps 'detailed' and have a lot going on than the actually battle arenas design. I don't care for the background that we the players can't access and won't notice most of the time, I care about how good the Turf map we're duking it out is designed (Hey Kelp Dome & Urchin Underpass) and a lot of Splatoon 3 maps are flawed. Smaller maps, narrow entry points get bottlenecked, no flank routes, the maps feel like they're designed so the opposing side can't venture far through the middle.

@vio What's in store this season? Eight kits, low but not unusual. One new Turf and Salmon map, lower than normal, two new main weapons, once again, few.

Point being, from what was shown, this is the biggest nothing we've ever gotten. No new mode, feature, nothing aside from a gimmick limited to the dwindling Splatfasts as they planned to support/update for 2 years, so 8 seasons, meaning June-Sept 2024 season will be the last season, but we might have a final update on Sept to wrap up everything.

Literately just the bare minimum here. Just the weapons and maps. And no, Side Order doesn't excuse it. Optional paid DLC jeopardizing the Seasons contents that everyone is free to access, if true, sucks.

Very light on offerings for a season tbh.

There should be an option for 'No because the preorders are booked'

SEGA will learn things the hard way. Burn away money, profits declining, and losing trust of their playerbase.

Face Off is this weeks Arcade Archive game, but it's not available in the North American Eshop!

In Warios Company History section, they acknowledge the Dsiware Warioware Snapped, Wiiware D.I.Y. and Game & Wario which is pretty cool.

@WiiWareWave There is no need for localization. Just translate the dang thing. Leave the localization and culturalization behind. The appeal of Japanese media is that it's Japanese. How is this not immediately understood?

When I purchase games from Japanese devs and you have someone to translate it, yes I want it to be as close to that original material as possible. Obviously there are instances where things can't be exact one to one, but if it's at least 95% close with an attempt to get the same context across, that's fine for me.

@Kr96 It's the handicapped all ages console version is it? Well, that's not a deal breaker as the scenes can be accessed by anyone with a computer, but I'll gladly support a translation over localization so until they clarify which of the two is used, my money is still on the table.

Please be clear: is it a translation or a localization? The two are very different from one another. The video doesn't specify which; only stating it'll be made available in English for the first time.

If it's the latter, easy pass.

@HatesCheese I don't think it'll automatically run better on Switch 2 other than load times? GF would have to work on the performance of the games itself running on Switch 2 for any substantial fixes. Systems with backwords compatibility like Wii and WiiU didn't make the predecessor games run any different or the New 3DS XL upgrade to 3DS didn't do that for 3DS titles prior to the upgrade besides load times at best.

Please, the last we need are more Kanto remakes

@FatBeverly Exactly why people don't feel remorse when pirating Nintendo games.

You just won't let it go that the start of SoJ makes you 'uncomfortable' will you?

@Kingy If you've played Phoenix Wright vs Professor Layton, you'd notice it's more Layton-esque/Level 5 than a AA/Capcom game since it uses the same kind of menu's, save system, and overwhelming of puzzels plus DLC. Level 5 did publish it too, so I think it's their call with Capcom's permission to get it re-released.

@TheBigK What? Weapon proficiency is max out in FE Engage. Whichever class you swap or upgrade to, you're immediately assigned maximum weapon rank in that class. They did away with the weapon rank grind.

8% of developers broke NDA?

@TrueBlueYoshi @ThatZeldaNerd TPCi would disagree. It works oh so well for them, Quantity over Quality that is.

@WiiWareWave You can't grasp the difference between localization and translation in an eariler article so that's not surprising 🤨

@Slain You can order from Square Enix's site still.

@HaileySheridon Why would you pay to watch propaganda?

@DellMibbler Easy. Critical social justice along intersectionalist lines. Why it's bad, causing even the slightest offence to anybody or any other group ever leads to cancelling those that do.

With the plethora of imbalances made from Gen 3 to Gen 9, I'd rather a straight port.

@PrincessKatamari Pipe House is used for Mario Party Advance, Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga and its 3DS remake an addition to an NPC named 'Pipeman'. Why is it suddenly not okay now? In a series quite known to be associated with Pipes as means for fast travel. Was never an issue before. If your mind immediately thinks innuendo, then that's on you..

@Tyranexx Speaking of, Mother 3 doesn't need to be localized to oblivion. There's a perfectly usable fan translation that doesn't butcher dialogue and themes that Nintendo would edit out to avoid backlash here in the west.

More 'translation' than localization changes for the worst, thanks. But yes, bring it to the hands of more fans, please.

@sanderev With Nintendo charging money for what was free online up until the early years of Switch, a large percentage of that NSO money is profit. They can afford to maintain their own servers and keep their customers happy. See Microsoft's leading example.

@Olliemar28 Streetpass should be safe indefinitely. It doesn't require online whatsoever if I'm not mistaken. Just a local connection.

Why can't they keep the servers going? Isn't the 3DS and WiiU's servers run on literally their own servers, called Nintendo Network? If it's theirs, all they have to do is maintain it..

@JohnnyMind @Jack_Goetz I've seen a few other instances of dialogue changes in the comparison video. Harmless stuff like Goombella's introduction. If they're changing stuff as simple as this and 'Airhead', prepare yourself for Vivian. Localization team arbitrarily changing a translation to justify existing on Nintendos payroll.

@Fizza M&L Superstar Saga 3DS remake was 60fps.

@luckyseven Even if he has you blocked, you can still view his comments. It only stops him from seeing your posts. Which means you must have him blocked too, so that you both can't view each others.

I've noticed the voice was 'off' in Wonder and Move It since hearing them in the Direct. People were clinging onto the idea that Charles voice was aging or there was a different voice direction being asked of him. Turns out the heighten sense of hearing crowd were right after all.

This makes no sense, it's another Shiver win. She's actually coded to be the leader. It's at the far left so it's the first you see. The team is composed by Shiver, Frye and Bigman. She's named first. She's the first in introducing herself in the presentation of Deep Cut. She's the first who talks in the news and she always makes the cue for greetings and goodbyes.
Oh, and in the last Splatfest she just proclamed leader herself. Can someone be more obvious?

I would had loved returning stages more than new stages shaped like tetris pieces.

Artstyle is terrible for sure.. reminds me of little kids programs that teach ya basic stuff like colors and numbers.

@EVIL-C They did, but it was never localized outside of Japan.

@JohnnyMind Thanks, I got the coins from starting up the purchased game 👍

Can I still download the trial and earn 100 Platinum coins if I already purchased the game prior?

@neverbeentoiceland "A POKEMON in the style of ARCEUS. 4K, 60p, larger world, no pop ups, better story, maybe a little bit on the darker side"

You're living in a dream world!

@KalamStrifeVII 5 Months ago and I swear I get less connection errors in OG Splatoon than in Splatoon 3.

@Fake-news I'm one for not wanting past media being censored for being products of their time. I'd rather Nintendo follow Capcoms example of their recent-released Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection and add a disclaimer warning players about culturally insensitive content to appease the "modern sensibilities" of people who can't get over the fact that not everything is made to reflect their worldview-- instead of being disingenuous by changing original scripts of two decade old games and claiming they're simply returning classics in HD.

As far as I'm aware, this is only an English issue and the other languages seems intact. That's quite telling.

@mereel I haven't watched the DF video yet. Here's one of many examples of script change. A side by side comparison of a treasure description from original version to switch port. No context is needed once you read for yourself.

@steely_pete Surprised this isn't getting discussed more. Nintendo english localization team sanitized the dialogue and made the humor more 'cultural appropriate'. Has me worried for future remasters. Don't alter the script for sensitive snowflakes who represent a vocal minority and probably won't even buy the game anyway.

@Kiyata A normal port would be ideal. I don't trust Gamefreak or any indie studio that gets enlisted to remake them. It'll be emphasized on being a 'faithful' remake of the Gold/Silver versions to a fault. Therefore, no Crystal and Hgss additions, meaning no Suicune side plot, Pokéathlon, Safari Zone, Battle Tower equivalent, Gym Leader rebattles, most legendary encounters left out, and only first two generations of Pokemon available. Mark my words.

@Chibi_Manny Because Wiggler

@SwagaliciousJohnson Personally, I really do not want FE6 and FE7 to be in the same remake. A double remake would mean less resources for each game individually. Advanced Wars 1+2 Reboot Camp cut corners to include both games, one example is the partial voice acting; I feel like if it was a remake of the first game, they'd gone full voice acting. FE3 Mystery of the Emblem cut out characters and maps to include both Book 1 and 2. So that's why I fear of double pack theoretical releases, just because the stories intertwine doesn't mean they should be remade together regarding FE. One entry is a full fledged game on its own.

Another thing, I do not look forward to how they would explain all of the plotholes that FE7 created for the game that is the prequel to. Potential for FE7 pairings is also something that I really struggle to see working well in practice. I don't want FE6's characters and canon to be muddied up for vain fanservice.

@Axecon Yeah, I wouldn't count on an official translation release. This would had been Nintendo's opportunity to translate Binding Blade for NSO members, but they went NOPE here's your single FE game while we drop the Japan exclusive to our native audience.

Technically, Roy is in FE7 shown in the epilogue having a sprite and dialog. Same for Lilina, so he's not Japan-only as many people have overlooked.

@gazamataz We know that Reload will be stripped of content added in later iterations, one being already available on Switch

Regarding your translation point, doubtful. A lead of the localization came out on social media when the game was officially announced and revealed their involvement. This individual is a fan of butchering translations, to fit a political agenda. Defending people translating things completely incorrectly and changing intent behind the entire premise of manga authors works, just a bunch of bad decisions that were personally motivated instead of just doing their job. Big red flag.

Try as they might to entice, but no way am I signing up to their Capcom ID.
