Re: Bandai Namco Reportedly Cancels Nintendo-Commissioned Project

Most likely that 2022-reported 3D action game. Personally I almost can't imagine it being anything other then Kid Icarus.
Regardless of what Nintendo IP & project it was, RiP.

As for the canned Bandai Namco works, it wouldn't surprise me (but still feel depressing all the same) if a new Soulcalibur game was among those projects.
This is of course all sad news in general.😞

Re: Sonic X Shadow Generations: Dark Beginnings Episode 3 Is Out Now

@konicstar : Ian Flynn was the one who originally named the GUN commander "Abraham Tower" back in his Sonic Archie comics writing days, and he's also the writer behind Dark Beginnings.

I'm usually a little iffy whenever Flynn 'sneaks' in Archie & IDW stuff into the games' canon lore but in this case I'm okay with it. The GUN commander was due for a proper name anyway.

Re: Sega And Universal Announce 'Shinobi' Movie

Can't help but feel Sega is getting over their heads with all these non-Sonic gaming movie announcements lately.

That said I’m cautiously more positive towards this news piece, as Shinobi is atleast relatively better known (within the gaming space), compared to Eternal Champions (which is a nobody) and the movie adaptation news for it a few months back.

Re: Yo-Kai Watch Returns With 'Holy Horror Mansion' Teaser

Say what you want about Level-5 but I feel convinced that one of the major reasons their game development has been so slow lately (hence the delays) is because of their crazy need to turn almost every new IP into a cross media project right from the start.-_-'

As for the game itself, the idea sounds interesting but I'm not sure how well this will actually do compared to these days modern non-Pokemon monster RPGs that have been released since atleast the late 2010s. Just have to wait and see.
