Re: Feature: "If The Game Does Not Sell Well, We May Be Done" - It's Do Or Die For Too Kyo Games & 'The Hundred Line'

AshFoxX

Damn, I really like the VN's that these two creators make, HUGE fan of the Zero Escape and Danganronpa games, and I absolutely hate tactical RPG's. I didn't even go for Persona 5 Tactica and I am also a huge Persona fan. I also really enjoyed Rain Code so I really hope this does well. I have it on my steam Wishlist, so I will give it a shot as I would rather take the same risk and show my support for this team than see them disappear.

Re: Talking Point: Where Should 'Luigi's Mansion 4' Take Place?

AshFoxX

Before I even read the article I wanted to throw Cruise Ship in there. If not for the full game (and we can get a lot of variation from one ship easily) than at least for a section of a full game. Especially if part of the ship was inspired by an Olympic class liner (like Titanic).

Re: BIT.TRIP Runner Dev Is Bringing Back An Atari Classic With A Twist

AshFoxX

I am loving the cathode ray tube style graphics in this one, I've been a casual brick breaker fan since the days of AlleyWay (still kind of hoping for a revisioning of that old gem personally) so this will be on my radar. I cant imagine that playing this in TATE mode would be too difficult, but as @Teksette said, can we please get some spinner dial peripherals for these kinds of games?

Re: Wii Build Of Free Radical's Cancelled 'Star Wars Battlefront 3' Has Been Discovered

AshFoxX

I could only get about half-way through the video before I noticed my eyes were stinging from what I was looking at. Then I realized it was because I was crying. If it looked this good (aside from dodgy clearly unfinished beta models) on Wii, it would have been a masterpiece on 360 and PS3 had it come to fruition. The culmination of never being able to experience such a brilliant looking game as well as the reminder that the studio behind this game was also dead just.. it just sucks...

Re: 'Hyperdimension Neptunia' & 'Death End' Switch Releases Scrapped For "Not Complying With Nintendo Guidelines"

AshFoxX

Thank goodness all of the Neptunia games are on Steam, cheaper than they would ever be on the Switch, and run fine on my laptop. Disappointed for sure, but I'm not surprised. Between this and deciding that the west doesn't want EDF games (aside from that terrible World Brothers game) I'm thinking it's about time to hang up my switch and wait to see if it's successor can wow me.

Re: English Box Art For Famicom Detective Club Remakes Spotted In Official Nintendo Graphic

AshFoxX

Honestly I was hoping these games would get a discount when Emio was coming out. I've had them on my wishlist for a couple years, just waiting for a decent price (I love VN's but these still feel too pricey for my blood.) If they put all three games in a physical package and charged something like $70 I'd bite. Found Emio floating around at a Target for about $40 and I was tempted to pick it up, but I'm not someone who feels comfortable buying JUST the third game of a series, physical or not.

Re: Danganronpa Creators Are Apparently In Debt Over New Switch Game

AshFoxX

I love Zero Escape, I love Danganronpa, but I am no fan of tactics RPG's. However, as Uchikoshi is attached to this game, I will support the heck out of it even if I may never even remove the shrink wrap from the box. Maybe if it has a 'n00b' mode so I can still enjoy the story. I really hope it sells well enough to save the studio.

Re: Trophies For 'Beyond Good & Evil' May Indicate Upcoming Launch

AshFoxX

BG&E is one of my top 5 games of all time, and nothing frustrates me more than how Ubisoft treats it. I highly doubt we will be seeing anything on the remaster in the Direct. If we were going to see anything BG&E related, it would have been at Ubisoft Forward less than a week ago.

That being said, I would like to be wrong..

Re: Reaction: Nintendo's Switch Emulator Fallout Is Shocking Only Because It Took This Long

AshFoxX

It's unfortunate that Citra was taken down as well. I know I'm the minority here, but I actually tend to buy games that I emulate first if I like them. I even bought some rom hacks for original consoles after finding them available as roms such as the English translations for Super Back to the Future II on SNES and Bare Knuckle 3 for Genesis. As for Citra, I tried out Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion after the last direct as I never played the original Wii game before (and intend to get the remaster) before I decided I wanted my own copy, and it is in the mail as we speak.

Nintendo made no money off my decisions to purchase these games. They all came from private sellers. I get closing the Switch emulator because it is still an active system, but for me there is a place for emulation of defunct game consoles because sometimes these games go for far more than they are worth, and Nintendo will never see a dime of it. These games also have dedicated communities that bugfix, remix, translate and vastly improve games that Nintendo will never localize or reissue with new features.

Now, if Nintendo decided to open an online catalog that allowed us to buy legacy games directly from them and support repairs, sales and replacements of their older systems, I'd be on board with booing the emulation scene. But that is never going to happen. I already have a hobby refurbishing old game consoles, but lets be honest, every year less and less of these older consoles are still around and salvageable, and emulation just makes sense for a vast majority of forgotten gems.

Re: Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition Listed On The Microsoft Store

AshFoxX

I bought the original on Xbox and PS2 back in the day, regret not finding it on GameCube as the price for that version has skyrocketed in recent years. I bought it again when it originally released in HD on PS3, then again when I bought my Xbox Series X a couple years back as I had retired my PS3 by then, and wanted to play it. I bought it on GOG for PC, and you best bet I'll buy it again, especially if it comes to Switch with all of the 20th Anniversary goodies. I love this game to death, and I will do everything I can to let Ubi know just how much I want to see the story continue.

Re: New 'South Park: Snow Day!' Gameplay Trailer Is All About Co-Op, Combat And Cartman

AshFoxX

Battling hordes of enemies and epic bosses? I wonder if this could scratch that Killing Floor 2 itch I have. I'm curious to see exactly how this game is going to work, but from what I see it brings to mind something like Gauntlet or Borderlands with the different classes, kind of a beat-em-up adventure vibe. Color me intrigued, but I will still be apprehensive until I can get a better handle of how the game will be organized.

Re: Retro Game Challenge 1 & 2 Are Getting Switch Ports In Japan

AshFoxX

I loved these games on DS, such a cool concept for a game mixing life simulation as a kid in the late 80's/early 90's, reading game magazines and manuals, it's just a dream for someone like me that lived it. I have a fan translation of the 2nd game, but my 3DS has been retired so I really hope we get at least a digital version in the west, if not that an English option for a physical copy.

Re: Beyond Good And Evil 20th Anniversary Edition Has Been Rated For Switch

AshFoxX

I love this game so much, I had it originally on PS2, re-bought it on Xbox and then got both HD editions when I had a PS3 and then a Series X. Always wanted a copy for GameCube, but finding one for a decent price has kept me content with what I do have. I hope this 20th anniversary edition adds something to the overall package, but even if not, I might just buy it again to support it. I just wish Ancel hadn't tried to make some insanely confusing prequel/sequel and just followed up on his original story for this one. It does end of a bit of a cliffhanger. Also hope that more people will play this game and give it some much needed fans.

Re: Another Earth Defense Force Spin-Off Is On Its Way To Switch

AshFoxX

Still waiting on EDF2 and 2025 to drop in the west. I didn't really like World Bros, and at this point I'm just about to splurge for a Steam Deck to play 4.1 and 5 away from my PC. Maybe if the sequel goes back to what makes the games fun, I'll take a look at a sequel, but I'm not hopeful.

Re: Exclusive: Marble It Up! Ultra Rolls Out On Switch Next Month

AshFoxX

So, just to verify, is this a sequel or is it like a definitive version that makes the original game obsolete? I've been waiting for that one to go on sale for awhile and, as someone mentioned earlier, it rarely ever does and never less than 20%. Honestly might skip the original anyway because the multiplayer stuff just looks like so much more content.
