I always forget that Trails is a subseries, but to have one of the biggest storylines & worldbuilding in all of JRPGs (and gaming in general) is pretty darn impressive. I'm not much of a Trails player but it does have my respect.
This article sure aged well.😊 Would be nice if we could get a new Starfy game in the near future. The last time, to my knowledge, we heard anything of a potential sixth game was also 15 years ago, and I think it was also here in NL we heard about that.😅
@epicgamner : They didn't really forgot though. As noted in the article they couldn't find the space to squeeze in the game. Either way I do understand why one would find the absence of Sonic '06 funny.^^
I can understand why he doesn't wanna go back to the FF franchise, but not wanting to atleast try re-releasing Blue Dragon & Lost Odyssey to modern platforms is a letdown imo.
Going by Switch-exclusive titles, I guess I go with AC Recollection for now. In general I will also give a shoutout to Unicorn Overlord, Pepper Grinder, and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.
A Zelda game where you actually play as Zelda? That’s blasphemy!
Just joking, this is wonderful news. I actually forgot about the rumor about this Zelda game from a few weeks ago. Happy for the Zelda (both the franchise & the character) fans.
@N00BiSH : I kinda disagree, as making educational Youtube videos (in this case, the behind scenes within gaming development) generally involves hard work, but each to his own as people sometimes have different views and ways of taking breaks.
Meh, Shovel Knight is still great and all but I won't get Shovel of Hope DX since I had more then enough fill of SK1 and SK in general for now. And the newly announced (3D-hinted) Shovel Knight mainline title is atleast a few years wait before we get to see it in action. I'm more excited for Mina the Hollower.
When it comes to Archie, the only character I really would have liked to see in the games was Thunderbolt the Chinchilla. She was a hilarious evil villian imo.
As for the IDW characters, I don't have any particular faves but I wouldn't mind seeing Clutch the Opossum make a mainline game debut. He's more or less IDW Sonic's version of Marvel Comics' Kingpin and it would be interesting seeing a underworld criminal mastermind scheming plans and creating trouble for Sonic and co. whenever they are not dealing with Eggman.
Another anniversary that makes me feel old again...😅ðŸ˜
On-topic, I'm no amiibo person (strongly dislike having content locked behind toys-to-life stuff too) but I do expect Nintendo to chug out a couple more figures for the near future.
Ideally I would SA1&2, Heroes, Unleashed, and the first two Riders titles (not necessarily in this order mind) among many others, but I'm not holding my breath.
Excluding Antonblast because I already been gunning for it for a long time now, only Nikoderiko has caught my interest. Platformer with DKC Returns and Crash Bandicoot-like gameplay, and David Wise as the composer? It has my attention.
@Yalloo: I agree the god-awful pop song is trash, but in fairness Wise himself didn't make it (its a 2019 song by John Coggins, Devin Moore and Steve Kofsky), and I doubt he had any say on it being used for the trailer. I would wait to assume the worst until we hear some actual in-game music.
Man the US boxart cover is bad, I get that this is all part of Sega's "Year of Shadow" marketing plans but I don't like how they just slapped him inbetween Classic and Modern Sonic like that (the fact that the Sonics' cover artwork are from the original Generations makes it look even more awkward).
I'm not the biggest fan of Homelander (or The Boys) but I was kinda expecting more unique abilities or attacks. Instead it almost feels like they just stitched together Injustice Superman into MK1.
Also, no offense to whoever is voicing Homelander here but its just not the same without Antony Starr.
Can't say I'm impressed since Shiver's works (their ports) are just bad, but Nintendo likely wants the company for their technical knowledge; in this case, porting 3rd-party games to the Switch (and Switch 2) if nothing else. Only time will tell if Shiver will get better or not on their job in the long run.
And while this isn't exactly a "loss" for Embracer, the less that awful company has the better imo.
I don't think Sakurai would do it but it would be funny and neat if he and Nintendo worked together to somehow show off some of his Nintendo-related collections for the company's upcoming museum.

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's GBA Library With Three More Titles
Nice to see Nintendo remembering Starfy still exist, the lack of English translation is a bummer though.
Re: Video: Sega Shares 'A Brief History Of Shadow The Hedgehog'
Nice video. I liked seeing Sonic Battle in there even if it was for like one second.
Re: Nintendo Reveals Disturbing 'Emio' Teaser, And Fans Are Baffled
Alright Nintendo you have my attention.
Re: Sonic Team Boss Really Wants To Make A New Sonic The Hedgehog RPG
Frankly I don't really trust Sonic Team with making a good Sonic RPG.
Plus, Sega has been the owner of Atlus for a long time now, not to mention that they have RGG Studios. Use one of them to make a RPG game.
Re: Review: SPY×ANYA: Operation Memories (Switch) - A Very Easygoing, Sometimes Awkward Anime Outing

Re: Zenless Zone Zero Producer Reportedly Open To Switch Successor Release
I actually forgot that "GI supposed to come to Switch" was (still is?) a whole thing, lol.
Re: Here's Your First Look At Sonic X Shadow Generations: Dark Beginnings
Very glad to see Emerl hasn't been forgotten.
Re: Sonic X Shadow Generations Website May Be Teasing A Fourth Playable Character
Silver, Metal Sonic or Super Shadow.
Re: Final Fantasy Creator Isn't Interested In Revisiting The Franchise
I can understand why he doesn't wanna go back to the FF franchise, but not wanting to atleast try re-releasing Blue Dragon & Lost Odyssey to modern platforms is a letdown imo.
Re: Poll: What's Your Switch Game Of The Year Of 2024 So Far?
Going by Switch-exclusive titles, I guess I go with AC Recollection for now.
In general I will also give a shoutout to Unicorn Overlord, Pepper Grinder, and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.

Re: Masahiro Sakurai Has Finished Recording His Final YouTube Video
@N00BiSH : I kinda disagree, as making educational Youtube videos (in this case, the behind scenes within gaming development) generally involves hard work, but each to his own as people sometimes have different views and ways of taking breaks.
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Has Finished Recording His Final YouTube Video
Personally I would have liked Sakurai to take a rest after being done with his videos, oh well.
As for the new game project he mentioned before, obviously either Smash 6 or a KI Uprising remaster.
Re: Round Up: Yacht Club Games Presents - Every Shovel Knight Switch Announcement And Much More
Meh, Shovel Knight is still great and all but I won't get Shovel of Hope DX since I had more then enough fill of SK1 and SK in general for now. And the newly announced (3D-hinted) Shovel Knight mainline title is atleast a few years wait before we get to see it in action.
I'm more excited for Mina the Hollower.
Re: A Brand New Mainline Shovel Knight Game Is Now In Development
I'm looking forward to it but it will be years from now until we see it in action.
I’m more excited for Mina the Hollower at the moment.
Re: Capcom's 'Super Elections' Reveals Fan Favourite Characters, Games And More
Glad that Darkstalkers is atleast in the top ten on question five.
Re: Sonic Team Open To More Characters From Comic Series Appearing In Games
When it comes to Archie, the only character I really would have liked to see in the games was Thunderbolt the Chinchilla. She was a hilarious evil villian imo.

Re: Sonic X Shadow Generations Speeds Onto Switch This October
Man the US boxart cover is bad, I get that this is all part of Sega's "Year of Shadow" marketing plans but I don't like how they just slapped him inbetween Classic and Modern Sonic like that (the fact that the Sonics' cover artwork are from the original Generations makes it look even more awkward).
The JP cover, while looking more like something that should be used for a future SA2 remaster/remake, is way better in comparision.

Re: Sonic X Shadow Generations Leaks Have Apparently Surfaced Online
Having a "Sonic Adventure" skin is pretty neat, even if the model itself doesn’t really look that much like the Dreamcast model imo.
