Yeah, seems like they're going ahead with the subscription service plan. Well, I wish them good luck with both that and this service, cause they are gonna need itβ¦
I'm curious at what the new gimmick in the Mario Kart game will be. I hope its not the '24 players' thing spotted in the trailer because while it sounds fun its not that exciting of a gimmick. It does sounds more fitting for a Battle Royale mode akin to F-Zero 99 as pointed out by the article.
The similarity to F.I.S.T aside, I came to discover this game by hearing that Takaya Kuroda (VA of Yakuza/Like a Dragon's Kazuma Kiryu) has a voice line in the trailer's JP dub.
@Mana_Knight : Its only on the Netflix show and everything related to it (including this game) that she's a 'good guy'. Before the show she was an antagonist who founded (or depending on the game, was part of) the VILE organisation.
Oh boy, now my comment I wrote in the previous Bayonetta article (the 15th anniversary one) feels kinda verified.π Seriously, I'm getting more worried for Platinum's future here.
@rallydefault : Most likely. Me calling Bayo 3 a mess is my own opinion of course, I don't 'hate' the game but for me its definitely the least good of the current trilogy for several reasons.
Happy anniversary I guess.
I honestly wonder more on how they will handle the gameplay and story in Bayo 4 after the mess Bayo 3 became, and thats assuming the fourth main game will happen at all. Not that I think the franchise will end anytime soon but considering how things are appearently somewhat disastrous at Platinum right now its hard not to be curiousβ¦
@NinjaWaddleDee : Regardless of who wins and loses in this lawsuit I'm certain it will end in a 'peaceful' settlement, and I don't believe this marks the end of Crush 40 (this is really more about Gioeli, not the band, having a beef with Sega) or the end of Live & Learn's use in Sonic games.
After all, Sega don't own the Sonic 1 & 2 soundtracks but they still pay the actual owners each time any music (Green Hill in paticular) is used to this day.
I thought this was already officially announced last month. Only thing new here seems to be the planned release date.
Frankly I'm more curious who the villain will be here (I have an idea of who but won't spoil it), since I can't imagine Carrey would wanna return for the fourth time. Its honestly a miracle he returned for the third, which I'm thankful for.
Honestly, there's something about this Polygon article and this whole ordeal that screams fake news to me. I just find it hard to believe that Gioeli has been unaware until now of Live & Learn's widespread use over the past 20+ years, unless he's been living in a cave. The guy is in a band that's mostly known for making Sonic game music for pete's sake.
I'm sure its not all 'doom and gloom' over there but this is not a good sign for Platinum's future imo.
Nevertheless, I wish all the best to both the company and the veterans who left.
@Serpenterror : According to the official info I seen, this game is being developed by Sega Hardlight (they have done a couple of Sonic mobile games, plus the PC version of Forces, the mobile version of TSR, and Sonic Dream Team) instead of Sumo Digital. Most likely because Sumo Digital was bought by Tencent if nothing else.
I'm guessing CrossWorlds refers to either crossover with other Sega franchises again (this I would like) or just characters from other Sonic media (mainly IDW, Prime and the movies), the latter would be boring imo.
Either way its a safe bet that we will see that Dodon Pa guy again (since Iizuka said he would be used for whenever Sega needs to have a racing event in the Sonic universe).
I do what I always do at this TGA time of the year. Ignore it and read the articles the day after. If I do miss out at something that I would consider worthwhile, Nintendo-related or not, thats on me and me alone.
@Daimando : At the very least it could happen as a comic crossover by IDW. I'm not interested in the idea myself but a My Little Pony comic collab with Sonic is actually one of the most fan requested IDW crossovers from what I hear.
I just now found out about this game's existence. How have I not heard of this game before? And its made by the Owlboy devs? Score! I try this for sure.
I echo what AceTrainerBloke said. The game was (and still is) one of the biggest titles when it comes to (among other things) the modern crossover era.
This is cool if true, but if they're going to bring Planet Robobot to Switch then Triple Deluxe should be added as well, release them both in one pack.
It just feels wrong to have one without the other imo.

Re: Rumour: Developer Resume Suggests Gotham Knights May Be Heading To 'Switch 2'
Its not the most amazing modern Batman game, far from it, but I definitely take GK over the Suicide Squad game any time.
Re: Random: Modder Shows Off Unused N64 Mic Support In Zelda: Majora's Mask
I can understand why the idea was dropped at the time but it would have been a neat little feature on the 3DS version.
Re: Poll: What Score Would You Give The Year Of Shadow? Go On, Tell Us
Honestly it was one of the best years the Sonic franchise has had in recent years.

Re: SNK Announces New βKing Of Fightersβ Studio
Sounds like SNK is making a team dedicated just to fighting games while the rest of the company works on other non-fighting stuff. Thats neat I guess
Re: Antonblast Receives Update On Switch With Performance Boost To 60fps
Good, been waiting on this one.
Re: Don't Expect Any More Miniature Consoles From Sega
They said no to more mini consoles atleast two times before this so I'm not surprised.
Still too bad though.
Re: Review: Antonblast (Switch) - Channels Wario Landβs Madcap Energy To Great Effect
Thanks for the review. Due to the performance issues I will wait for the patch before buying.
Re: Sega Is "Evaluating" Its Own Netflix-Style Subscription Service
It really depends on how they handle it on today's market, really. They did something like this once in the late 2000s and it didn't go well.
I also guess this is also the possible reason they're delisting their games lately.
Re: Sorry, But There Are "Currently No Plans" For A Unicorn Overlord Sequel Or DLC
In this day and age I really appreciate the company's integrity to release a finished game.

Re: Bandai Namco Unveils New Pac-Man Game, And It's Probably Not What You Expect
Looks kinda neat, but the Bomberman Act Zero vibes are strong with this one. Overall I canβt say Iβm a fan of this, so this is a "maybe" from me.
Re: Mario Movie's Spike Voice Actor On His Possible Return: "I Haven't Heard Anything"
Spike was never a big deal to begin with, so no shock there.
At best he could make a non-speaking cameo in the sequel but I'm not betting on it.
