Alpha008

Oooooooo… been a couple of years since I picked up a preorder steel book. If it’s at the retailer I usually get steel books from, I’ll pick it up

Hopefully this kingdom won’t get shut down after two weeks!

Makes sense, games like sparks of hope clearly aren’t the direction Ubisoft wants to go. Not generic enough

It’s incredible to see how this film franchise has come, considering that infamous start it had…

From that first trailer, all the way to this? That wasn’t in the script

So, the main criticism for this new entry in an old series is that it plays like the other entires in this series. Admittedly, fair enough, it sounds like some modernisation could be useful. But, at the same time, it is Famicom detective club, not switch detective club. You’d expect it to feel like it’s an upgraded NES title. To expect otherwise may be a bit optimistic.

Does what it says on the tin

Pity, crash 4 was very very good.

Good old executives, no wonder toys for bob went independent

Just don’t be rude. You’re unlikely to risk the judges wrath.

I don’t care if nobody has ever pulled you up for it before, just be… not rude. It’s free, you’re more likely to earn respect, at least from people who’s respect is worthwhile having anyway.

I would hope adults are animating this. I don’t condone child labour

Expensive, but there’s clearly a lot in it

@OctolingKing13 I dunno, I’m having an enjoyable time

I mean, I appreciate the warning. I know we’ve come to the point where swearing has become as substitute for literally anything.
But I try to avoid it, it’s not easy
(How can cool AF and boring AF be used? Either it’s boring or it’s not, right?)

Well, that’s good for long term preservation if true.

It’s always entertaining when a panned film shows up.

Before we get to the advertising you want to see, here, watch several ads you don’t want to see!

Pokémon legends ZA returns next month?!

Was this a slip of the typewriter?

Well, they could use more staff

I wonder how many people are left out there who don’t have Mario kart 8 (but want to purchase it)

Ah, I do love building a good Lego set, one of the simple pleasures of life.

Like a lot of simple pleasures, it can be quite expensive

Huh. Wonder what caused that?

Hmmm, some of these games haven’t had an update to their sales figures in years.

I wonder what they’ve sold now?

I admittedly feel a little self conscious counting my library… I suppose the system is going for 8 years and I’ve been there almost since launch, makes sense I’ve got a sizeable library

I hope it’s enough to make Nintendo happy.

(And you know, make more classic style paper Mario games)

Have the sales of the remake slowed to the point where this is allowed by the higher ups?

I think the developer newsletters on a regular basis is a great touch. Having updates on what’s currently being worked on, what progress has been made since last time, breaking down what needs to be done to be launched simultaneously on all systems in dual languages…

It makes the wait more bearable than announcing a project and then going radio silent for years. It lets us know they are working on it, and progress is being made.

I wish more developers would consider doing this!

Hmmmmmm… risky publishing mods for a game still being actively maintained by Nintendo

Well, this raises a few ethical concerns…

I mean, I’m not losing sleep waiting for the next system to come out, but if there’s something on it I want to play at launch, I’ll pick it up. If not, I’ll wait until there is.

Thieves! Bring the book down on them!

I wonder if the Ubisoft management style (or lack thereof) drove him away…

@RadioHedgeFund I mean, if people bought the non feature packed version anyway, why would EA bother?

Great game, fantastic battle mechanics, themes, music, loads of good stuff.

Although, a lot of the overworld level design is kinda… underwhelming. Lots of rectangular rooms with not much in them. Fortunately, the whole package more than makes up for it

Well, I appreciate the sentiment, but it’s risky saying something like this.

Could be an aged like milk comment in a few years

By popular demand? I wonder who was demanding reversible covers?

I’m not complaining, I’m just confused… can we popular demand other stuff too?

I think it’s more of a case by case basis

Kickstarter eh? While there has been some good stuff to come from it, it does warrant some level of caution

I say, is it accurate to call it famicom detective club anymore?

Be nice, be kind, be considerate. Not easy to do when something gets under your skin, but it’s something to aim for.

Deliberately attacking/cyber bullying someone is an absolute no no and should be dealt with accordingly.

I wonder what the harassment was even about?

I wonder why Australia and Europe get the game a week later?

In this day and age, that’s uncommon.

It’s nice to see people take pride in their work, even in something that, while vitally important, isn’t known for being glamorous

Ooof, that’s not good. Not good at all. Can’t really play devils advocate on this one.

At least they got paid. But the fact that it may have prevented them from landing other work… yuck, don’t like that.

A few of Nintendos policies are… frustrating. But this one has directly hurt people who work for them. Hopefully speaking up about it will lead to a change in policy. One can hope

It’s a me! Emio! Wahoo!

I mean, the sonic universe certainly has enough story material to work with to make one. Just depends if they, y’know, don’t completely butcher it

Hey look, Klonoa made the chart this week!

How nice for it

Did ghosts get some new content or something? That’s a big step up from 71st place

Well, I know I’m considerably more likely to enjoy a game than the average comments section

Ah, good old Japan. Gotta love something called “that time I was reincarnated as a slime”

What a name!

Poor guys, they’ve been doing good work

Whilst I do think AI can have its place as a supplementary tool in the future, (a tool, mind you, not replacing human labour, just assisting), the way some corporations are looking at it as a replacement for paid workers is not good in the slightest.

Nintendo’s slow to adopt anything policy is pretty handy in this case

I’ve noticed that the Robin Hood comparison has been used… one slight difference, robin hoods whole deal was giving the money back to the poor that it was taken from.

Say what you want about Nintendo’s pricing strategy, but I don’t think selling pirated software is in the same category.

And if you say “well robin obviously must have kept some for himself” then that kinda defeats the point of him being a hero. He did what he did to help the suffering population.

I really don’t think pirated copies of software can really count as helping those in need

Hey, at least Nintendo actually gave them a warning first. The fact they didn’t stop, well, it’s a bit harder to sympathise

If you’re going to do morally dubious stuff, Don’t do it on something that’s still on the market!
