Of course everyone would prefer 60 FPS with perfect frame pacing, but you're not going to get that out of the Switch.

30 with no drops and no timing issues is probably the best to hope for.

Interesting.

Wonder how much people's Social Credit Scores will drop for buying one (since supposedly, buying video games lowers it).

Seems pretty underwhelming this week.

The Angelo and Terry alternate colors are inspired.

I don't know. I feel like getting it would just feed into a stereotype.

Sounds like you have to have an Online subscription to play it, though.

Always online, and have to log into Bnet.

Have to think there's a decent chance of the Asian English releases making it to Steam.

Depends on if the licensing fees would ramp back up or not, I guess.

The animations seem a bit stiff, but otherwise it might be nice to have a baseball game that won't have out-of-date rosters almost right away.

@Yorumi Well, that's the point, though. The devs aren't going for that. They want to be influencers. So of course the direction will be about trying to influence people.

Because everything has to be all politics, all the time now.

Bring on those downvotes.

Even with Sapphire on it, that price is ridiculous.

@Peterjr1 It seems like way too many people think the purpose of a review is to justify their own personal taste.

Like, if the game they've already decided they're going to buy has a reviewer crapping on it, it's somehow a personal attack; as if they're seeing it as "You're a bad person who likes bad games and will swallow any crap shoved down your throat."

But in the end, it's just a review. It's not an affirmation.

Ugh, why do they keep making "food, but it's alive" pokemon?

It's just too damned unappealing...

@Heavyarms55 Still needs some Cave and Raizing content.

Nah, I'm not falling for this one.

Finally, Virtua Racing.

Less "spiritual successor" and more "blatant copy" (which is fine as long as it plays well), but yeah.

This is the essential content people flock to.

Getting kind of a Chaos Legion vibe, but more single-target focused.

Saturn Ports are necessary, since most Saturn games are overpriced.

They own Technosoft's IPs now, so how about getting Nekketsu Oyako (not to be confused with Technos/ArcSys' Nekketsu series), Blast Wind, TFV, and Hyper Duel on some current platforms?

I don't hate the game, but the last thing they needed to do was take the SaGa framework and make it even MORE complex.

Finally, a non-borked version of A-Jax.

Nice to see a lot of Fire Pro love here.

Guessing maybe they add an AEW DLC pack to Fire Pro or something.

@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.
