@ViridianVoodoo Black Isle just mentioned it's not coming out for the Switch today. They had an issue getting it on the eShop, and it's going to take them some time to get worked out.
I unfortunately had to get rid of a lot of packaging for a lot of my games (PS1, PS2, Dreamcast) in various moves when moving into smaller places where I just didn't have the room.
And I've had people tell me : "If you don't have the room to keep the packaging, then sell your games to someone who does, because you don't deserve them."
@UmbreonsPapa I would have been interested (though, mind you, I'm only half-black, so I'm not sure how much my words count) when I was younger, but I wasn't good enough at math and my high school did not offer coding classes. My father didn't want me going to college because I wasn't great at math, but I eventually convinced him to let me at least attend the local community college...
...only for them to tell me I wasn't good enough at math qualify for any coding classes and I'd have to make up 6 math prerequisites (at the time, so many people wanted to take those classes that they set the prerequisites insanely high in order to keep people out) to be allowed to take any.
I ended up dropping out because my dream was dead (and I've never been able to self-teach).
@BRAINFOX I don't know if it's still the case, but there was a time (or at least the perception of a time) where they'd reserve a significant portion of their print run for 'influencers' and such, making it much harder for people to acquire them.
@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.

Re: Ouch! NES Collector Recalls The Time He Threw Out Packaging Worth $4,000 To 'Save Space'
I unfortunately had to get rid of a lot of packaging for a lot of my games (PS1, PS2, Dreamcast) in various moves when moving into smaller places where I just didn't have the room.
And I've had people tell me : "If you don't have the room to keep the packaging, then sell your games to someone who does, because you don't deserve them."
But I feel that's too harsh.

OK, but when are you gonna bring back the Bigfoot Pizza, Reggie?
Re: Balan Wonderworld Is Getting A Suspicious Amount Of 10/10 Metacritic User Reviews
@Sam_Loser2 Absolutely.
More games should be Egregious.
Re: Poll: Monster Hunter Rise Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
I want to try it, but I never have the patience for the tutorial levels in this series, and I hate the BBQ Spit mechanic.
So I never end up being able to get into it.
Re: Review: Kaze And The Wild Masks - A Brilliant Homage To Donkey Kong Country
@Rockman55 It's the theme song of professional wrestler Minoru Suzuki, the most miserable old man in all the earth.
Re: Review: Kaze And The Wild Masks - A Brilliant Homage To Donkey Kong Country
Haha, did we get a Minoru Suzuki reference in this review?
Re: Best Game Boy Advance RPGs
I was almost hoping, seeing Kimimi was handling the list, that it was going to be only the remaining untranslated titles.
Re: "Several" Square Enix Remakes Are In Development At Polish Studio Forever Entertainment
Hmmm. Keeping in mind that old Eidos franchises belong to S-E...
I'm gonna say Legacy of Kain.
Re: Talking Point: What We're Hoping To See In Today's Nintendo Direct
As far as 3rd Party goes, mostly just want a solid date for Capcom Arcade Stadium.

Re: Nintendo Download: 14th January (North America)
@benjamouth For whatever reason, the NA ACA releases are listed the week after they come out, despite Europe having them listed for the proper week.

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.

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.

Just the La-Mulanas.

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
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

But none of the schools I went to offered programming courses at ALL.
