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.
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...
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.
@KingMike That was Galaxian^3 (and its follow-up, Attack of the Zolgear), that had the "impossible" cabinet. It came in two flavors, the absolutely gigantic one that was only at Namco's Wonder Egg facilities, and the significantly smaller (but still large) 6-person units that showed up in Namco-owned arcades all over.
And yet, Namco made an attempt to port Galaxian^3 to the PS1 all the same.
@Yorumi Where would I look for such "beginner" material? It's not so helpful to just say "Google it" (and I'm not saying that you did, but most probably would just tell me that), because that would imply that I should know exactly what to type into the search field.
I can't program (I won't say code, because I feel that's reserved for those who actually have the skills), and there are so many languages that I don't even know where to start. I want to be able to do it, though, because I feel like I'm the only person on the internet who doesn't know how to at all...
@Moroboshi876 More of a "Second Part" because they added mechanics make it play more like a fighting game, with stricter execution timing, and meter management (the special meter is also used for picking a missed lob up off to the ground when in the first game there's no way to do that). The execution barrier to be decent at this is MUCH higher than it was in the original.
@Madskillz19 The Devs had actually been complaining on Twitter that nobody was streaming or reviewing it, a while back. They were hinting that it was for discriminatory reasons, though.
@ieatdragonz There are a couple videos out there called "The Worst Best Friend" that basically rips this series a new one and lays all the narrative flaws bare to the world.
As much as I'm disappointed in the typical "It's the Switch, gotta cut it down to 30 FPS" treatment, I was still planning on getting this, but cheaping out on the card size and having a required download is making me think twice. My Micro SD card doesn't have a whole lot of space left and it's getting to the point where bigger ones are going to cost more than I want to spend.
@UndoControl I agree with this. There needs to be a place for simpler tools that are going to help people with no art or coding skills begin to understand the basic logic, and the more complex you make it, the more you shove those people out.

Are they actually going to explain why he has a slot machine in his brain, this time?
Re: Review: The Rumble Fish 2 - A Cult Classic Fighter Gets A Great Port
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.
Re: Atari Announces Ultra Rare Arcade Shooter 'Akka Arrh' Is Coming To Switch
Might be prudent to mention that this is a Remake.

Re: Surprise! Hamster Is Bringing The Hardest Tetris Series To Switch eShop Next Week
OK, now it's time for a port of Terror-Instinct so we get Invisible 20G Mode during the Credits.
Re: No, Bandai Namco's New Fishing Game Isn't An Animal Crossing Spin-Off
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).
Re: Review: Persona 5 Royal - Finally On Switch, This Is The Very Definition Of Essential
Dangerous question to ask, but was it only 30FPS on PS4, also?
Re: Persona 5 Royal Switch Development Is Being Led By Sega
@Magician Marvelous (XSEED) would have to be the ones handling Muramasa. They're the ones with the rights to it.

Re: Tunic Aesthetics And Ratchet & Clank Action Meet In 'Trifox', Out On Switch Next Month
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think my species is over-represented when it comes to indie games.
Re: Feature: With Sales Outpacing Pokémon, Why Is Splatoon So Popular In Japan?
It's the hyper-focus on youth (specifically teen-to-early 20s) and fashion.
Re: La-Mulana Director To Remake Obscure Konami MSX IP After Winning Contest
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.
Re: Konami Is Bringing Suikoden I & II Back With HD Remasters On Switch Next Year
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.
Re: Round Up: Eastasiasoft Showcases 10 New Switch Games, Coming Soon
Super Woden GP isn't bad.
Re: SEGA Genesis Mini 2 Games List - Every Mega Drive And SEGA CD Game, All 61 Titles
@NeonPizza That's because Japanese devs hand-coded their own sound drivers, whereas US devs just used GEMS, which was severely limited by comparison.
Re: SEGA Genesis Mini 2 Games List - Every Mega Drive And SEGA CD Game, All 61 Titles
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.
Re: Get Foxy In Turn-Based Diablo-Like 'Of Blades & Tails' Coming To Switch 2023
Indie devs seem to just love making fox-based games.
Re: Round Up: EVO 2022 - Every Nintendo Switch Announcement & More
@Rykdrew To this day, I STILL don't understand how one is supposed to be able to count exact frame times out of 60.
Re: PSA: Are Your Switch Games Disappearing? You May Have Too Many - But You Can Fix It
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.

Re: New Live A Live Trailers Showcase Present Day And Distant Future Settings
Looking forward to hearing the redone version of "KNOCK YOU DOWN" (Masaru's Battle Theme).
Re: Ys And Trails Developer "Plans" To Release More Retro Titles On Switch
@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.
Re: Ys And Trails Developer "Plans" To Release More Retro Titles On Switch
Throw the world into Chaos, Falcom.
Gagharv Trilogy.
You know you want to.
Re: Atlus Wants To Know If You Would Like More Nintendo Switch Games
Only thing I'd want is Odin Sphere Leifthrasir, and I don't even know if that's an option.
Re: Pro Tennis: World Court Is The Next Ace In The Arcade Archives Line-Up
Namco-Bandai is really laying it on thick with the "Games with no English version" lately.
Re: Galaga Sequel 'Gaplus' Is The Next Arcade Archives Game On Switch
@KingMike That was Galaxian^3 (and its follow-up, Attack of the Zolgear), that had the "impossible" cabinet.

Re: Pac-Land Is The Next Arcade Archives Game Coming To Switch
@HammerGalladeBro No. Because of the AtGames/GCC legal issues, Ms. Pac-Man has been edited into a different character
Re: Review: .hack//G.U. Last Recode - Intriguing But Ageing PS2 ARPGs Get A Solid Remaster
@Arawn93 If anything, I'd find Haseo's player's previous identity to be a lot more edgelord-y than his one in GU/Roots.
Re: Andro Dunos 2 - A Knockout Shmup Success That Nails The '90s Arcade Feel
Infinos Gaiden (from the same developer) was pretty good, so I've got my hopes up for this being good, too.

Re: Review: Windjammers 2 - Sweaty, Strategic, And Better Than The Near Perfect Original
@Moroboshi876 More of a "Second Part" because they added mechanics make it play more like a fighting game, with stricter execution timing, and meter management (the special meter is also used for picking a missed lob up off to the ground when in the first game there's no way to do that).

Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Final Fighter Is... Kingdom Hearts' Sora!
But, then, I wanted them to go full Chaos Mode and put in Mike Jones from StarTropics, confusing the hecc out of the Japanese fanbase.

@Bluerangervegeta The Developer who wanted to secure the popular character that has the same name as his Development Team.
Re: Cave's Shmup Espgaluda II Is Targeting A September Switch Release In Japan
@DashKappei I kind of wish XIIZeal and Deltazeal would just be given their original names (XII Stag and G-Stream G2020) back.
