@JayJ The other edge of the sword there is, as soon as it does release (if it ever does), all the hardcore shoot-em-up fanatics will complain about how the Switch has too much lag for shoot-em-ups to be playable on.
Hamster is really starting to bug me here. Why do they keep holding off on Raiden? They really gonna let Wiz be the only Seibu Kaihatsu title they put out?
@DenDen If I had to guess (Their avatar being from Picrew), it's that they don't like the changes made to the Transwoman character's story in this version.
@JayJ The problem there is that the devs wanted it to be a tribute to Maze of Galious, and Maze of Galious was just as cryptic and difficult to move around through.
@retro_player_22 Dreamcast MIGHT happen someday (and even then, it'll probably only be Sonic Adventure and Space Channel 5 2 again), but I don't think Saturn ever will.
Personally, I'd like to see Super GT (aka Scud Race), but I'm sure they don't want to have to pay for all that brand licensing for the liveries and such all over again.
@Shiryu That, and the the one time NBGI DID bring a Gundam game over after the fans begged for it, it was the execrable "New Gundam Breaker", which people avoided like the plague because it was awful.
@OorWullie Considering that Ketsui Kizunajigokutachi (the previous Cave M2 ShotTrigGer, even though that was PS4) got passed up, I'd expect this one to get passed up, too.

Re: The Next Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighter Will Be Revealed During The Game Awards
@nessisonett If you're really trying to piss off the ch*ds, have Anita Sarkeesian do it.
Re: The Next Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighter Will Be Revealed During The Game Awards
@nessisonett I actually kind of think they might just do that.
Otherwise, there'd be no point of doing it at The Game Awards.
Re: Nintendo Download: 8th October (North America)
Legend of the Blue Warrior is a kinda not-so-great remake of the old MSX game "Knightmare".
Re: Hamster Announces More Than 15 Games For The Arcade Archives Series On Switch
@JayJ It's starting to feel like they're never going to get around to Raiden.
Re: It's Official, Monster Hunter Rise Confirmed For Nintendo Switch
I'm not much of a Monster Hunter fan, but Rideable doggos?
That's tempting.
Re: Earth Defense Force Joins Hamster's Arcade Archives Collection This Week
Hamster is really starting to bug me here. Why do they keep holding off on Raiden? They really gonna let Wiz be the only Seibu Kaihatsu title they put out?
Re: Here Are The 36 Games You'll Get On Sega's Astro City Mini Console
That's tough. There are things I like there, but also a lot I'm not thrilled about.
Re: 8BitDo Reveals Its New Customisable Arcade Stick For Nintendo Switch, Pre-Orders Now Live
Doesn't Wireless Latency defeat the whole purpose of using an Arcade Stick?
Re: Collection Of SaGa Brings The Final Fantasy Legend Trilogy To Switch This December
Kind of a shame they can't include localization of the WonderSwan port of the 1st, or the DS ports of the 2nd and 3rd.
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th July (North America)
Kind of sad that City Connection decided not to release Hoshi wo Miru Hito worldwide after all.
Would have been worth it just for the sheer WTF value.
Re: Want A Jet Set Radio Sequel? Bomb Rush Cyberfunk Might Be Your Best Shot
@Severian Naganuma was involved with Hover as well, and nobody seemed to notice that one.
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd July (North America)
Meh, Strahl? Come on, Hamster, just give us Raiden already.
Re: Review: Catherine: Full Body - The Ultimate Version Of A Surreal Cult Classic
@DenDen If I had to guess (Their avatar being from Picrew), it's that they don't like the changes made to the Transwoman character's story in this version.
Re: SNK Deletes "Inappropriate And Offensive" Samurai Shodown Tweets, Offers Apology
This is where someone points out that Iroha is actually a bird...
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th March (North America)
Only Chaos Code.
Re: Review: La-Mulana - Packed With Peerless Puzzles That Demand Dedicated Players
@JayJ The problem there is that the devs wanted it to be a tribute to Maze of Galious, and Maze of Galious was just as cryptic and difficult to move around through.
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th March (North America)
Just the La-Mulanas.
Re: Video: Latest Streets Of Rage 4 Trailer Reveals Final Fighter And Four-Player Co-Op
@TimboSlice Samoan doesn't count?
Re: A New Fox Emerges On Switch This Spring In Explorative Adventure Spirit Of The North
In NA, the PS4 version just came out a couple weeks ago.
Re: Review: Snack World: The Dungeon Crawl – Gold - Endearing RPG Action With Bags Of Character
A "Covfefe" reference in 2020?
Way to make things dated, localization department.
Re: We Really, Really Hope M2's New Shooter Comes To Switch
@TheOpponent We don't.
Re: We Really, Really Hope M2's New Shooter Comes To Switch
@Magician It won't.
It's only going to get more and more expensive from here.
It's already $140 on Amazon.
Re: We Really, Really Hope M2's New Shooter Comes To Switch
The genre that Japan is so proud of that they don't want Westerners to be able to play them...
Re: Sonic The Hedgehog 2 And Puyo Puyo 2 Are Both Coming To Switch On The Same Day
@retro_player_22 Dreamcast MIGHT happen someday (and even then, it'll probably only be Sonic Adventure and Space Channel 5 2 again), but I don't think Saturn ever will.
Re: Atlus Wants To Know If You'd Like Persona, Etrian Odyssey And Other Past Games On Your Switch
Finally getting an English version of Princess Crown would be nice.
And yes, I know that wasn't an option.
Re: Sonic The Hedgehog 2 And Puyo Puyo 2 Are Both Coming To Switch On The Same Day
Personally, I'd like to see Super GT (aka Scud Race), but I'm sure they don't want to have to pay for all that brand licensing for the liveries and such all over again.
Re: Sonic The Hedgehog 2 And Puyo Puyo 2 Are Both Coming To Switch On The Same Day
I don't see any Saturn ports ever happening.
Didn't Sega lose the source code to every single Saturn game they made?
I mean maybe they'd be able to re-port some of the old PS2 ports, but other than that...
Re: Poll: The Wonderful 101 Is The First Game From 'Platinum4', What Do You Think Is Next?
Infinite Space HD.
Re: Feature: The Most Expensive Retro Games For Nintendo Systems
@Shiryu Even a Micronics developed game is susceptible to Shm*p price-inflation.
And use, I asterisk out the vowel because I absolutely refuse to type or say it.
Re: Video: Watch A Full Match Of Captain Tsubasa: Rise Of New Champions Gameplay
Was kind of hoping this would be menu-based like the Famicom ones, heh.
Re: Extreme Downhill Biking Game Descenders Launches Physically On Switch This Spring
Procedural, and Freeride only?
Stick with Downhill Domination, then.
Re: Animal Crossing's Former Co-Director Isao Moro Is Now Teaching Children How To Program
@Trajan I wish it would have been back when I was in school.
But none of the schools I went to offered programming courses at ALL.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighters Pass Volume 2 Will Add Another Six Fighters
And they'll ALL be from Fire Emblem.
Re: Talking Point: Why Pokémon Sword & Shield's Expansion Pass Changes The Rules For The Series
@LUIGITORNADO Nintendo doesn't do "Game of the Year Edition" style releases.
Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield Is Getting An Expansion Pass, And It Looks Mighty
@Anti-Matter Considering it's doing Baji-Quan, wouldn't it be more Akira Yuki than Ryu?
Re: Nintendo Download: 9th January (North America)
@GhostGeneration The usual "underage character in sexually-charged situation" was censored out of the English version.
Re: Nintendo Download: 9th January (North America)
Japan's obsession with Penguin Wars mystifies me.
There was just a remake released on Switch not too long ago.
Re: Review: SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays - Brilliant Strategy RPG Action Bursting With Content

Re: Speaking Simulator Might Be The Most Bonkers-Looking Switch Game We've Seen Yet
So, it's basically a visual representation of Twitter.
Re: Review: ESP Ra.De. Psi - The Best Shmup On Nintendo Switch, Period
@Zanzox Physical copies of this genre are ALWAYS the most expensive games on any system, because they're the most highly prized to own.
Re: Christmas Comes Early With ESP Ra.De. Psi's Limited Edition Package For Switch
@OorWullie Considering that Ketsui Kizunajigokutachi (the previous Cave M2 ShotTrigGer, even though that was PS4) got passed up, I'd expect this one to get passed up, too.
Re: Christmas Comes Early With ESP Ra.De. Psi's Limited Edition Package For Switch
Even the standard is just too much for me, right now.
And by the time I think about giving in, it will cost 3 times as much.
Re: Video: Say Hello To The Two Main Protagonists Of Trials Of Mana
@MrVariant Xenon Racer should have taught everybody to be gun-shy.
Re: Video: Say Hello To The Two Main Protagonists Of Trials Of Mana
"Development Footage. Subject to Change."
In other words, PS4 Pro footage. The Switch version will clunk along at 15-22 FPS.
Re: Review: Arcade Archives In The Hunt - One Of The Most Unique Shmups You'll Ever Play
Would be good to mention that if you play the "English Version", Stages 2 and 4 are swapped from where they are in the Japanese Version.
Re: Puzzle & Dragons GOLD Hits North American Switch Consoles Early Next Year
I am here for this.
Re: Streets Of Rage 4 Sees The Return Of The Beloved Character You All Asked For
I still kind of wish that the art style wasn't so "Cell Phone Game", but other than that...
Re: M2 Is Bringing Toaplan's Back Catalogue To Modern Consoles
Just to mess with everyone, they should put out Teki-Paki first.
