@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".

Just translate Rebirth, already.

Graces f was the one I wanted most, so that's it at this point.

Guess I'm sticking with my Vita copies of the Re;Birth trilogy.

Kind of wish Defiance could have been included, too...

This is definitely more about not getting the rating he wanted, when we've got the likes of Caladrius Blaze still there on the eShop.

Suppose this means it'll get pulled down from GOG?

@Samalik Strive feels like it's been for the Gooners and the Shippers for a while now.

Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm not supposed to say that.

@Bizzyb Not exactly. The "f" version was a PS3 exclusive, but it was an updated re-release, with extra content, of the Japan-only Wii version.

@missingno_fgc It would be getting ported from the PS3 codebase to start with, not the Wii one.

Now, that said, the reason 60 FPS isn't happening is because the PS5 is the lead system for development here.

Switch is never the lead platform for multi-platform releases.

@BANJO Super Burnout would have been an amazing inclusion.

Hopefully Strania comes next.

@Yosher To get people to talk about them.

OK, now hopefully we can get some Goemon DLC next.

Damn it, my 1TB SD card is already full. I don't want Kakarot to grow another 5-10 GB in size!

What are YOU doing with YOUR life, those who aren't as multi-talented as the guy who made this?

@PKDuckman Likely with a remixed soundtrack just like the other "Mikado" releases.

@calbeau It's not like every Vita game ran at 60 FPS, either.

Lord knows they didn't.

@saanaito It's incredibly depressing to feel like the only member of the community that DOESN'T have those talents. -.-;

@LadyCharlie Ironically, despite the flag in my PFP, I'm not much of a Brisket fan.

I was always more about Ky, because I have a weakness for lightning-based characters.

I just STARTED getting use out of my 3+ and now they're already on the 5?

Geez.

Here comes the DISCOURSE.

Is it made by the same people who made the EXAct Mix version for the EXA Arcadia?

They didn't even try to do the actors' makeup heavy and shaded to try to make them look cel-shaded.

Even cosplayers do that; come on, Hollywood.

Waiting on my Physical to arrive, should be coming next week...

@SpeedRunRocks It's not Strange. Bandai/Namco does this all the time.

Klonoa, and Naruto Ninja Storm 4, are two previous examples.

@marandahir I can't believe it's already been 9 years since Tokyo Xanadu.

@Ooyah There's always the Egret II Mini...

And eventually, Taito's other umbrella game, Spica Adventure, is coming out, too.
