I mean, no one can argue with the success of the Atari Lynx so....

Physical media for life!! True Lara Croft for life!! let's goooo!!!

Definitely planning to pick this up. I hope it is simple enough for our kiddos to play.

Looks great! Can't wait!

"This is Nintendo’s IP and if they decide to halt our production, we will."

The rest of this article is unnecessary.

I will always blame the scammer, not the scammed. Simple as that.

not a great song choice. but, if I disassociate Limp Bizkit, it kinda works with the animation.

I will check out this show when it releases. and I will brace myself for Castlevania levels of cringe changes. the first series was mostly great, especially at the beginning. by the time Nocturne came around they had gone entirely off script.

Does that material look washable? asking for a friend.

(jk!!! I can't even leave it without clarifying it's a joke. lol)

Yea, y'all don't understand trademark law. Which is especially clear when you use words like "patent" and "copyright" interchangeably with it. You must defend any noticed trademark or risk LOSING IT. So, challenging this store and then losing the case is the best possible outcome for the store, the sanity of the world, AND Nintendo.

All they did was legally distinguish the video game franchise and its character from the supermarket. In so doing, they get to keep their trademark — that's how it works. No more or less. Shame on anyone trying to make it into something more for the sake of some clicks (not that this article is really doing that, but you can see the outcome in the comments).

EDIT: Case in point: The Washington Nationals baseball team and Walgreens had to go to court some years ago to hash out whose stylized, swoopy W was whose. I believe a regional grocery chain (Wegmans) was also involved. No one is confusing a baseball team for a convenience or grocery store, but it's the same legal ground.

Doesn't matter to me as long as they exist!! Physical media forever!!

Switch game case sizes are like item number 1,024,123,091,230,106,239 on the priority list of things hurting the planet. So I'm not gonna factor that into how I feel about this.

Looks pretty good!! Plus, I do like boobs.

@nessisonett and yet..... here we are.

"New Fur-izons" Please don't.

I'm pretty sure this game is going to smash financial expectations in its toothy, scaly face.

There are so many factors that contribute to these numbers that AREN'T "the consumer no longer wants physical media."

I worry how many people are going to (willfully?) misinterpret these data.

The "bummer" premise of this article is based on playing INTO the insanity. You could just collect the cards for fun or to play the game and not treat it like some weird NFT/stock market/crypto thing.

I'm gonna wait a few months for the hype to die down and then get back to collecting like normal. EZ PZ. No bummers here!

I'm still eagerly waiting for my LRG version to arrive. I've never played a Metal Slug game before, they don't appeal to me. But the aesthetics and design of this game look so awesome!

Code Veronica please!

My uncle works for Sony. I have a super secret insider leak. I'm taking a huge risk by sharing this but: PS6 will exist someday.

I know. I just cost Sony millions.

Same thing.

everyone is entitled to their own preference, but my Lara Croft looks like this.

I mean, what's not to get? let's do this.

Let's go!! I can't wait!!! I don't even care that this was announced literally a week after I spent $200 buying the PS1 version of Lunar 2 on eBay!!

I LOVED Ecco the Dolphin as a kid. I tried playing it again as an adult and.... what was I thinking?? lol

But it still has a very special place in my heart. If they did a remake or sequel with modern tech, it could be REALLY beautiful and hopefully this time the gameplay would match ^_^

Looking forward to it!!

@eduscxbox precisely. fist bump

@eduscxbox You are correct, on the other end, people shouldn't mix things like voicing opinions, inquiries, and criticism with harassment. Freedom of Speech (at least in America) does protect being annoying, obnoxious, and even offensive. Because those are subjective things.

If I said I thought the (I don't know) outfits in a SE game were offensive, that would not give me the right to have that game removed. But I could voice my opinion about it as often and as obnoxiously as I wanted. And everyone else would have the right to ignore me, block me or just tell me to shut up. ^_^ They wouldn't even have to be nice about it!

Of course, people should be kind in how they voice their displeasure, but it can't and shouldn't be enforced because, again, it's subjective. Policing true harassment is great; policing politeness or opinions is tyranny.

Sadly, online culture has gone off the rails at both ends of this topic.

First, where is the evidence that this kind of thing is happening with any kind of predictable consistency? Where is the data that this is happening to Square Enix more than other companies? Where is the proof that Square Enix treats its own employees so well that they can start pointing the finger at their audience?

Second, a lot of these classifications are incredibly vague and one-sided. "Persistent inquiries"?? So people can't ask frequent questions.. like what? When a game is coming out? How much it will cost? Why the DLC is structured like it is?

People can't ask for apologies from SE?? What deems a request for staff reprimands being "unreasonable"?? What if the SE employee does something truly detestable to the audience member? They have immunity??

~~~

TL;DR Yea, everyone should be cool to everyone else. But this feels really defensive, flimsy, and ultimately performative.

A rare W for Europe!!

Physical release and you have my gold, sirs!

@Steel76 That's true. I'm glad the indie space exists. And in those cases I would love them to use crowdfunding to bring them to life when possible.

Also, a lot of studios (not usually indies), need to cut back spending money on gigantic bloated games with gigantic bloated staffs that then can't afford to put that game on a 2-cent plastic disc (or a $15 plastic cartridge in Nintendo's case).

I never buy digital. In fact, I consider it kind of an oxymoron.

If game companies refuse to properly sell me their games, I simply won't buy them. ... I will play them though. Without guilt.

this looks pretty good, but, actually looks too much like Mario 64. I mean, aesthetically. if you swapped out the frog character for Mario, most people would be fooled by screenshots, ya know? that's a problem. games need to be unique enough to pass that test.

@kendomustdie can you link me to a tutorial on how to play PS3 games on a PS4??

I don't know how people in the comments are unable to differentiate between the US military and any military (let alone one that is potentially hostile to the united states). I know a lot of people here aren't in the US, and that's fine, but hopefully it isn't hard for anyone to realize that a country will act in its own best interests. Some would argue that's the entire point of a government, to look out for its own country and people.

Again, this is China we're talking about. If a games company had ties to the Canadian military, it would be a different story.

@kendomustdie Cherry Bomb and Mickey seem perfect for the game

if I were to buy the PS3 game today, would it run? or do games from that era require updates and patches that are no longer live? (I own a PS3 that I got 2nd hand from my brother-in-law, but have almost never used it)

Poor performance throughout

I bought it on PS5. Hopefully that solves this issue.

Combat is clunky and stiff

Review says the new version controls significantly worse than the original, but doesn't say how. I'm curious of how it can be objectively worse.

RePop mode feels pointless

I actually think the stylized visuals are much more fun than gore and blood. I don't mind some gore in games, but I think I'd rather have this kind of cutesy satire.

HOWEVER, that's only for the visuals of the violence. I wouldn't want the violence to be removed or toned done. And I also wouldn't want sexual content or language context to be removed or toned down. If RePop mode alters any of that, I will play in Original Mode and just deal with the gore.

Licensed music tracks are mostly gone

That is a shame. Out of curiosity, what licensed songs are missing from the original?

I wouldn't mind a remake of the original trilogy with WayForward-esque 2D visuals. Of course, Ragebound looks like a good substitute for that wish.

@-wc- where can I see the list of changes?

let's goooo!!! I'm ready for more witchy fun!

@Spider-Kev yea, this reboot was totally backwards. lame. hard pass.

you haven't "gone full Layton" until you get one Switch 2 motherboard to the other side of a grid by sliding around differently shaped, adjacent motherboards.

It's funny how Star Trek and Star Wars used to duke it out for which community had the most passionate fans. Now they are duking it out for which property can can become the most unlikeable.

A rare loss for Japan. The JP box art is still wonderful, but that NA/EU box is gorgeous.

Do they not separate digital and physical sales numbers? Seems like apples and oranges since the digital landscape prices go up and down so often and can't suffer from supply or distribution issues.

ora ora!!

poses in a cool way

Merry Christmas, NL!! Thanks for all that you do!

Gotta be March. January and February are too close to Christmas. You can't sell a bunch of Switch 1s and then immediately be like "that thing's obsolete, suckers!!"

I want a hand-written apology from everyone who makes Persona games. Thinking they could get away with having male protagonists?? In THIS day and age?!? Not on our watch!!

yea, it's just a shtick he does. even his remarks to/about himself in this post are over the top. but, still, it's nice that he showed respect for her.

Daisy Ridley is a great actress. It's a shame her character was written so poorly in TLJ and then was painted into a corner by the start of TROS.

Still, this is a really fooking weird choice to have her narrate this. LOL. Who is on the fence about Monster Hunter but would try it out because Daisy Ridley said so?? lol

Whatevs, Capcom, you do you.
