@BigE topical!

"I'm picturing my Charizard in my head...something real, something worth a lot of money that is real."

At least he still knows what is truly most important in life: things and money.

@Axecon I think it came out too recently to be part of the schedule. Entries have to be submitted and the schedule coordinated welllll in advance. I'm sure it'll be part of SGDQ later this year.

It will 100% not be this year. Maybe not even 2023.

@FizzyChalice tbh I was disappointed about how little glitchy wackiness I encountered in my playthrough of the utterly mundane Colors. Therefore, Sonic Team kinda owes me. Big Time. I expect nothing less than Sonic Boom levels of madness.

Sorry, Sega. I'm not really interested in playing a tight, polished 3D Sonic game. Give me the buggy, hilarious mess we all know we crave but few admit out loud.

@Maulbert yep.

The chances of 3 getting localized this far out are slim to none. The chances of a new official, and no doubt less potentially controversial, Mother game are higher tbh; however Shigesato Itoi long ago stated publicly he's not interested in making games any more (not to mention he's now well into in his 70s), and frankly I don't think I would bother with a non-Itoi helmed Mother any way.

Following the creators of the Mother 3 translation's blog back in the day was fascinating and made it clear that just injecting new text was very difficult with the way that particular game was programmed and a lot of re-jiggering had to happen under the hood beyond simply the localization itself. It's sort of a minor-miracle we got that at all. It's almost as if the game was intentionally developed to not be translated. Almost.

@VIIIAxel it's not coming, bro. I've played a significant amount of X and the amount of content to translate is astounding. Like, think DQ11 times 2 (maybe 3). That's a big investment into something that would surely sell half or less than what XI did. The game's been out for nearly a decade, my dude.

That Kemco logo makes me highly suspicious

There is little I enjoy more in life than an androgynous jprg protag. They're just the best. The twink-ier, the better.

Five bags of popcorn, two sodas

... People were having such struggles with the wind puzzles the Devs actually nerfed it? What was the struggle exactly? I don't remember encountering anything that made me pause and think for more than like, a couple minutes. Yikes, gamers

Shoulda called it "Father" lmao

This is my #1 game and OST so heck yeah, gimme it.

I knew the rewriting of history and game journalists suddenly becoming Other M apologists would start happening a few months ago.
Like when the Star Wars prequels started getting all these weird revisionist articles about how um, actually, they're like, really good (they're not), right before the recent trilogy came out.

This look cute, and I like 2D platformers as well as cute things so it's probably gonna be a buy for me.

Now THIS is the hard-hitting journalism that keeps me coming back for more.

@gutsy still waiting on your comprehensive list, bubby

Sweet Home OWNS. Highly recommended. Also, @gutsy your post is even lazier lmao

If it's half as good as the Curse of the Moon games, that's good enough for me.

The sub-headline "just above par" had me confused. If 6/10 is "not bad", then you want to say "just under par". Being over par is bad.

ITT: people pretend they didn't first hear of Rally-X from a Tim Rogers video

I'm fairly certain we won't see it I'm the West. I read some Japanese and played a not inconsiderable bit of DQX a couple years ago.

The game is bigger and contains so much more text than people realize.

It's a Mother 3 type situation. If it hasn't happened by now, it won't.

I'm sorry, guys. The chances of this getting a localization after 9 years of expansions and stuff is absurdly low. This game is bigger than 8, 9, & 11 combined.

I enjoyed the battles in the demo, but WOW was there ever too much dialogue... This coming from someone for whom FF Tactics is their fave FF game.

Oh my yessss, for that price I'm there day 1

@mauhlin12 "Evilman, party of 4? Your table is ready. Ah, right this way, thank you for dining with us tonight Mr. Evilman."

"Please, call me Darkdeath. Mr. Evilman is my father."

Heck yes, give me this NOW

Darkdeath Evilman is the best badguy name I've ever heard.

lol, if only somebody could've foreseen a 3d sonic game being glitchy. oh wait anybody with a pulse could have

TIL dragon quest games are now 18+ affairs

Make just enough of a fan game for a trailer that can make a splash. Then immediately pivot, reskin, and announce it as "inspired by such-and-such IP." it's a really simple idea and could save idiots like these who can't seem to notice a C&D coming a mile away a lot of trouble.

@OldManHermit agreed. I ended up downloading a trainer for the PC version so I could skip orb collecting. Otherwise I probably wouldn't have finished the game. The main story stuff is fun

As far as remixers go, this fella's criminally underviewed music videos are definitely the silliest: http://youtube.com/mhshizz

@SmileMan64 in 2008 a swimming team used an FF8 track as part of their routine. Or was it 2004? I can't remember.

I will miss the 2D sprites, but will surely still enjoy the game.

Lol, I'd play LoZ: George of the Wild.

STREET CLEANER!!

@Slowdive they better be ready to pre-process my debit card

Will happily watch the Game Grumps suffer through this in my stead.

@ghostwolves a comment only somebody who hasn't spent enough time with SBS1.000 could write

I'd argue Super Baseball Simulator 1.000 is the best baseball game on the SNES, tbh. It's got a lot of personality and **mario sports style special moves**. Give it a chance! The original for the NES is hands-down the best NES baseball game.

No mention of Street Cleaner? It went up this week and it's great! No nonsense 8-bit platforming with a nicely balanced difficulty and a great synth wave? type sound track.

The humor is definitely hit or miss, but I mostly enjoyed my time with the game. On the fence about going back for DLC given my backlog but you never know.

I just don't see Mother 3 happening. Let it go. Gimme Mario Paint, plz.

This'll go great next to my Beamz By Flo

Even if it's only, like, 4-5 hours of new content, I'm good with that. I woulda paid full price for 3D World again without it.

Gilmore Girls is like Twin Peaks without any of the stuff that makes Twin Peaks interesting.

Slow news day, eh?

@Amrulez yeah, all my most thrilling online matches have been played in simple rules mode. It allows zone shots, but not zone speed, specials, etc.
