"Revolutionizing the Two Layer Attack System"

Xevious : "Am I a joke to you?"

As unfortunate as it sounds, I'm pretty sure the name came about because it's a spinoff of the dev's previous game, VULKAISER.

I'm assuming it's because these all have the same Japanese publisher (Kadokawa) and whatever licensing deal they had with NIS has expired.

The Steam release of God Wars is already attributed to a different publisher than NIS.

Seems like a high price for those used to not paying anywhere near that much for Terarin's previous works...

They've been sitting on this release for a long time, and when it was showed to focus groups, they HATED it.

This is just getting shoved out the door when they've got nothing else to release, BECAUSE they've got nothing else to release.

Haven't they actually been sitting on this game for a long, LONG time now?

And they're just finally shoving it out the door hoping to recover some of the dev costs?

So, it's canon that every version of Link (post-Skyward Sword) smells of soot and poo?

OK, but which Shubibinman is that? The first one, or the second one (which had the Shockman name in the US)?

The "Atlus Tax" has returned, folks.

The GCN version is never coming back unless Bandai-Namco pays a crapton to Nintendo to get the rights back. Nintendo funded the translation and publishing of the English-language GCN version, so they'd still call the shots about that specific version's code in English-language territories.

Still a shame it couldn't be a port of the EXA-Arcadia version, but I get it. No EXA games are ever getting console ports.

Come on, ASW, just sign off on a high-res port of the GBA game, already.

Oh boy, the crappy Ocean ones, not the kinda-interesting Blue Sky ones.

The new one is fine, and I have no problem with it, but the fans want Chicago (the FF6 font). I don't know how much it'd cost S-E to get the rights to put that in the Switch and PS4 versions, but I imagine the good will and trust it would earn them would make people more likely to buy future remakes/remasters (say, if they ever do the Dragon Quest Zenithian Castle Trilogy).

A Dragon Quest with a gun-wielder?

Hmmm. Interesting.

"where bubble dragon children live"

Does that mean Rainbow Islands, Parasol Stars, Bubble Symphony, and Bubble Memories have been excised from franchise canon?

Is this the first game in that series (not counting the Attack of the Friday Monsters spinoff) released in English?

Likely they didn't want to offend anyone with Progeria.

@Paraka Only reason I don't see it happening is because 2 already got a PC port.

I don't mind it going back to being more battle-focused.

I've never much been the shipping/tumblr type anyway, even when I was younger.

Rebirth and Graces f.

Rebirth since we never got an English version, and Graces f because I like the "CC" battle system.

Odin Sphere Leifthrasir port for Steam please.

"But this site is about the Switch."

I certainly wouldn't complain if they'd do a Switch port, but I would also like for there to be a Steam one.

Always being stuck at least 3 years behind Japan on the Kiseki games sucks more and more the older I get.

Are they actually going to explain why he has a slot machine in his brain, this time?

PS2 fighters tended to insist on that "High Res Interlaced 3D Background" look, even in 2D games.

The art design suffered for it, especially thanks to incongruence with the sprites if the gameplay itself was 2D.

Might be prudent to mention that this is a Remake.

Admittedly, though, I'm slightly shocked this is happening because the creator said he'd never allow this to happen until every clone that simulated the TGM ruleset was permanently removed from the internet.

OK, now it's time for a port of Terror-Instinct so we get Invisible 20G Mode during the Credits.

Have the original 2019 game and it's kind of frustrating.

You miss way more than you pull in and it feels like you never can get a decent medal count.

Hoping the new one will be balanced a little better (and I think comparing it to Animal Crossing is doing it a massive disservice).

Dangerous question to ask, but was it only 30FPS on PS4, also?

@Magician Marvelous (XSEED) would have to be the ones handling Muramasa. They're the ones with the rights to it.

Well, at least it takes away the subtle creepiness factor of "You're the only human in a world of animals" thing that's kept me away from Animal Crossing...

Who do voodoo?

He do voodoo.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think my species is over-represented when it comes to indie games.

It's the hyper-focus on youth (specifically teen-to-early 20s) and fashion.

Not surprising.

Naramura did a custom tileset for a fan-remake of Maze of Galious over a decade ago, so he's no stranger to working on the game.

Yesssss, MOAR PS1 RPGs on Switch, Please~

(C'mon, Square-Enix, give us a port of the PSP remakes of Star Ocean 2 and Valkyrie Profile)

As for Konami, you heard me. Vandal Hearts HD.

Super Woden GP isn't bad.

@NeonPizza That's because Japanese devs hand-coded their own sound drivers, whereas US devs just used GEMS, which was severely limited by comparison.

None of the Working Designs translations were ever going to make it to the Western release.

The original publishers do not own the rights to those translations.

Indie devs seem to just love making fox-based games.

@Rykdrew To this day, I STILL don't understand how one is supposed to be able to count exact frame times out of 60.

I have no idea how many I have. But even with so many ACA NeoGeo and Arcade Archives games, and only about 150 Physical, I can't imagine I'm close to 2000.

I'm just here for Waluigi Pinball~

JONATHAN! JONATHAN! JONATHAN!

Looking forward to hearing the redone version of "KNOCK YOU DOWN" (Masaru's Battle Theme).

@Lyricana Wonder how long XSEED retains the rights to the English releases of those two.

Because I don't see NISA getting to use that same translation after those rights run out.

Throw the world into Chaos, Falcom.

Gagharv Trilogy.

You know you want to.

Only thing I'd want is Odin Sphere Leifthrasir, and I don't even know if that's an option.

Namco-Bandai is really laying it on thick with the "Games with no English version" lately.
