...Omega Force?

Making something that's NOT a Musou game (other than the first Winback)?

How many people are going to name their Pombon "Missile"?

RE is a series that I wish I could get more into, but I'm generally terrible at resource management. I don't know what's OK to kill and what you have to leave alive (in order to not run out of ammo), so the idea of having to constantly restart from the beginning because I don't know the rules kind of deters me.

Between this and Moonring DX, we're finally getting "Old PC-Style Game" style games on the old Switch.

I think sometimes it's forgotten that not everybody subscribes to NSO.

And probably a lesser percentage still once it's NSO+Expansion Pack.

I actually prefer it not be on NSO, since I've never bought an online subscription for any console.

I understand why they're so high on everyone's wishlists, but I don't see Square and Enix RPGs being part of this.

@Lizuka (Monkeys Paw curls, you get AI translations)

@ArcadeRacingCENTRAL It really feels like nL asked that question to be needlessly divisive.

(And if saying that gets me in trouble with Hookshot Media, so be it.)

Honestly, I'm not even sure why they asked a question about Mario Kart when this game isn't an item-based kart racer.

Is it too much to ask for this to finally be the Super Monaco GP successor I've always wanted?

Please, none of the Meidos.

Had mostly been under the impression that the series was mostly just Miis being put into random skits.

I think I'd have liked that more than something more like The Sims. Never really been very interested in The Sims.

Now that we've got JAM Project :

Alex in Super Robot Wars when?

Virtua Fighter turned Wolf heel, now SF is following suit by turning Alex.

Though, it's honestly kind of brilliant since every time he appears, there seems to be fan backlash.

@Aquinas In the end, people would prefer to see companies oversaturate an IP until it's overexposed and run aground, though, because that way it still "looks like the publisher cares", superficially.

@dskatter The Game Key-Cards are a dealbreaker for some people.

As for me, I know I'll eventually have to get a 2 because my original Switch won't last forever.

But hopefully by then high-capacity SD Express cards will be plentiful and affordable.

Infinos 1 and 2, but no Infinos Gaiden?

(For those who don't know, the Infinos series is made by the same programmer who made Andro Dunos 2.)

Really wish it wasn't LRG.

I don't like dealing with their "You don't know if they're ever going to ship your copy" roulette.

Math says somewhere between 40-45 Physical Switch titles a year (not always at full new price, though), no idea about digital...

If it has to be "Day One", though, it's probably Zero.

@ShieldHero If Reggie was as cool as people thought he was, every system would have come with a free Bigfoot Pizza.

Need a full-on remake of Madoola, plz.

I do like the 1st game, even this version of it, but it is pretty short...

I'm not sure how I feel about the Air Dash. I know that every game needs it for "schmoovement tech" now, but it wasn't part of the 16-bit games...

What I've always wondered is : How well does this work for non-Fighters?

Like, I'm always looking for a better controller (and have a Hori Fighting Commander coming in the mail today) to play various Arcade Archives titles with (especially STGs).

@IceClimbersMain Cyber Commando would be the most unique System 22 title they could give us, so I'm hoping for that one.

@GetterImpact Might be due to Treasure and G.Rev's contract work on it.

@romanista Not a rights problem, no.

Just none of the previous collections (Castlevania, Contra, TMNT) Konami has put out has PS2 ports in them at all, so they weren't going to start this time.

Gaiden and ReBirth really needed to be here (there was never any chance of IV and V), but what's there is still good.

Nemesis 90 'Kai (or the PSP version of MSX Gradius 2 from Salamander Portable, with the smooth scrolling) should have been there too, honestly.

@topher6490 and somehow, I don't know how, the Colecovision and SG-1000 versions of Pitfall 2, also.

It just can't be the same without "Pulse" by TheMadCapsuleMarkets in it.

@MedusaMadman77 They did. It just won't be available until past 12:00 Noon EST.

NL's lists always list last week's Arcade Archives instead of this week's.

@bones PS5s weren't readily available where I live until a little while after the release of the Slim.

As far as the Switch 2 goes, I think I probably could have been able to get one by now had I lived closer to the one store that keeps getting restocks, and if they didn't restock on Thursdays.

Tom/Wyrdwad was always a little bit questionable in his localization choices.

Is there any name that screams "ORIGINAL CHARACTER DO NOT STEAL" more than "Unika"?

Like, seriously?

And yeah, I know, that's par for the course for GG, considering Sol's whole thing is "What if Daisuke Ishiwatari was Freddie Mercury?", but still, yeesh.

Not sure how I feel about this. There are some games that I'd bought digital that much, much (sometimes years) later, I ended up buying physical. But now that I have more space I'd kind of rather re-install the digital (no, I would not get rid of my physical copy). It doesn't seem like I can do that now.

I kept my pro controller permanently wired in the hopes that it'll reduce input lag.

They haven't cancelled my order yet, but when I got it in, the estimated ship date wasn't until 10 days after I put it in :/

Well, there went any hope for a port of GRID Legends.

@Joekun A big theme on the Hookshot Media sites (especially Time Extension) lately is how discussion must be De-Americanized, so don't expect that phrasing to change any.

I mostly just prefer when devs aren't trying to chase Hollywood and I'd prefer they not try to structure their games like movies.

I don't want a ton of long cutscenes or extended sequences with little-to-no-gameplay at this point in my life.

They're really gonna leave out "Pulse" by TheMadCapsuleMarkets?

That was the best song in 3.

Can something really be "subversive" when EVERYTHING is "subversive" now?

At some point, didn't it become the expected, and therefore no longer subversive anymore?

"Almost Non-Existent Plot"

Fine with me.

Been wrestling with picking up the Switch version of Super Robot Wars 30. If it'll become impossible to buy the DLC (eg : if they eventually stop producing eShop Cards), it might not be worth it.

@Mariotag Not lost. Couldn't use it. Nintendo funded Namco to develop the GCN version, so Namco(-Bandai) had to base all re-releases off the PS2 version, which only ran at 30 FPS.

@FX29 The PS3 version was the remaster, not the Wii version (The Wii version was Japan-only, and the first printing of it was such a bug ridden mess that people had to send their discs back to get replacements).

And the likely reason this runs at 30 is because they targeted the PS5 as the lead platform for this, and then had to scale it down for the Switch.

@EarthboundBenjy Every re-release of Symphonia has been based on the (Japan-only) PS2 version's source code, apparently because of rights issues around Nintendo funding the GCN version themselves.

"Said it on ResetEra."

Come on, 99% of the backlash against that game probably came FROM ResetEra.

I'm suddenly reminded of the band "A"'s seminal album, "A vs. Monkey Kong".
