@JayJ Most retro-hardcores are fans of 2 genres above all : JRPGs and Shmups.

So yeah.

@DarthFoxMcCloud If you want to play it now, go ahead and get digital. Don't worry so much about the slings and arrows from the "Every time somebody buys digital, it's making it so that publishers won't produce physical games for real collectors, and some day they're going to stealth-delete it from your system!" crowd.

There are other people who already bought it digital, so that die is already cast.

Hopefully it'll be less disappointing than Devil Engine was.

@Arehexes Because it would be the same as arguing that Nocturne Maniax is part of the Devil Summoner sub-series because Raidou shows up as a bonus boss.

@Trajan Unless you retroactively count SMT if... as part of the series.

Which you probably shouldn't, but I'm sure someone somewhere might make the argument.

@AxeltheCorvikni Missed all the controversy, did you?

@Laxeybobby Heh. Long-Distance Enjo Kosai.

@Baart I wouldn't play a game that sexualized them either, no.

@cronosus01 I'd be just as skeeved out by a western game that sexualized children, too.

I know this'll get downvoted into oblivion, but man, the "anime makes it ok" excuse doesn't fly when talking about the sexualization of underage characters.

The internet's obsession with wooloo is getting a little bit creepy.

@BionicDodo They lost the rights to the Ys deal.

NIS America has it now for any new titles.

I still doesn't understand why the NA list always lists last week's ACA instead of this week's (Solomon's Key).

@MaaadMatt Blame Malcolm Laurie for that one.

@Panopticon It's a janky platformer where the real cart is dirt cheap.

Slap Fight or MUSHA would provide more value (especially for those not inclined to drop $300-500 US on an actual MUSHA cart).

And there are much better Sega-published platformers than Kid Chameleon that didn't make the release (Jewel Master, Pulseman, Ristar)

@BensonUii the Japanese version has the MOST IMPORTANT GAME ON THE ENTIRE SYSTEM (MUSHA) as an exclusive.

@impurekind In the livestream, they were playing the System 16 version instead, so maybe it'll end up being that.

We.
Got.
F***ed.
Out.
Of.
MUSHA.

Thanks, Sega.

Light Crusader, Kid Chameleon, and Alex Kidd are garbage.

I normally am completely turned off by "fanservice" sort of stuff out-of-hand, but I've played the PS4 version of this and the gameplay isn't bad at all.

I'm sure it's been said 1,000 times by now, but nobody wants to be anywhere near Randy Pitchford right now.

I mean the first one's only about 15 hours long, but ok...

@depooter The Previous 4 M2 ShotTrigGers titles have all been for PS4.

The first two (Battle Garegga and Dangun Feveron) both got digital western releases. The other two (Mahou Daisakusen and Ketsui Kizunajigokutachi) have been left to rot.

If M2 has lost interest in bringing the M2STG series over, it's not going to magically change "because Switch now".

Won't be hitting the west, then.

The past two M2 ShotTriggers (Ketsui Kizunajigokutachi and Mahou Daisakusen) are still Japan-only.

@aaronsullivan MUSHA is probably THE single most important release, since a legit loose cartridge runs around $350-500+ these days.

@GameOtaku None of those had to have licenses paid for.

And that said, OGs, OG Gaiden, and 2nd OG all got passed over.

They didn't even get an Asia Region translation.

@GameOtaku Not going to happen.

V didn't.
X didn't.
OG Moon Dwellers didn't.

And those are all the ones from the "Easier Access Translation" era.

@60frames-please Absolutely Zero.

That's why the Southeast Asia version is completely in English. It's much cheaper to acquire all the licenses for the constituent shows in that region.

Bandai-Namco have even said (with a "wink wink, nudge nudge") that despite being Asia Region, they're designed to be imported by Anglophone gamers in North America and Europe.

@Pablo17 You'd likely need a Malaysia account.

Now how about TGM rules, Arika?

@Tao When they say "Existing Franchises", that probably just means 10,000 more Yakuza games and spinoffs.

Welp. Say goodbye to Atlus.

@chiptoon If they were going to do that, they'd have done fur-lined spandex and a prosthetic nose with small animatronics in it.

You go uncanny valley, you go full uncanny valley.

May as well collect my "5+" dislikes on this.

If Microsoft wants to unperson him for being insufficiently woke, that's their prerogative.

However, I don't really think that there should be a requirement for people to be woke (PC, Far-Left, what have you), but in the age of where a brand's momentum lives and dies by the Twitter Mob...

Oh joy, another game where I'm finally used to it at 60FPS having to drop back down to 30 or less...

Now, if they can somehow get it to run 60FPS on Switch, then I'd be in.

@MarcelRguez I've seen articles that say Darius isn't on the Japanese eShop, though.

Kind of looks like it was wrapped up in colored duct tape.

@Nomad I know nobody wants to hear this, but I don't think every good game needs to have sequels.

And especially not every JRPG needs to have sequels.

@Baart Sort of. I'm sure I'll get some massive backlash for this, but I seem to remember there being some controversy when NetherRealm and WB first tried to get Injustice released in the Middle East?

If they want to be able to sell their product in that region without issue, then they're going to have to comply with their modesty standards.

@JaxonH I think it has something to do with not wanting to get their product banned in those countries.

I'll apologize, but as someone who actually likes Musou games, this is absolutely, gloriously hilarious to me.

@Tendogamerxxx

But how are you going to brag about your gigantic collection on Twitter and YouTube, then?

I'm not gonna lie, I kind of wish this thing was nothing but Shoot-em-ups.

MUSHA for Japan only, huh?

Fire whoever's in charge of the Western version.

If it's going to be exclusively CPS-2 stuff, hopefully the D&D games will end up on it.

And Dimahoo, hopefully.

@Primarina Racing games should never be less than 60.

Sadly, even the PS4 version of this apparently hovers around only 50.

I can't really get into it either.

The movement just feels 'off'. It always has. I can't ever come to grips with moving the character around on the stage.

Everybody feels too small, too light, too fast. Even the "big" characters like Donkey Kong.

Keep Puyo Puyo Tsuu on the Western versions, You Cowards.

looks at Gundam Versus on PS4 and it's $150+ worth of DLC playable mobile suits

Nope. Still the king of bull DLC.

@Lizuka I can tell the difference between 30 and 60 (or in the case of this game, 25 and 50, heh. Come on, we're in the HD era, no need to develop for PAL Hz anymore).

What I CAN'T do, is COUNT individual frames, like Tournament-Level Fighting Game players can.

@Zerocritic The Vita only exists so that you can show off your Limited Run Games collection with the "VitaIsland" hashtag on Twitter.

@Lizuka The framerate is the real problem.
