@Not_Soos I feel compelled to comment on your last reply.

You might already be doing this, but just do stuff for the fun of it. That is how you hone your craft. Me? I want to produce house music. I do not feel good enough to produce it, so I don't do it much yet, but in the meantime I am making hip hop beats that are slightly further removed from my passion, making it easier for me to finish.

I also enjoy editing, so I edit videos for an artist. I also enjoy writing and creating lay-outs, so I helped in creating a board game for a friend. He has a friend working on a videogame, so I might start producing music for that. All of that stuff I do for fun, but also simply to train, and the proof is in the pudding, it opens up venues, as I might be able to contribute to a videogame sometime soon, and not even because of something closely adjacent. The board game is WWII.

Also, don't feel bad. They had a 100 applicants, they say, so you pretty much had a 1% chance. And I don't know about divisive, I don't recall ever reading anything grating from your side. Or maybe I just agree with you, that's possible too.

I wasn't able to watch it with sound on, but the intro was hillarious nonetheless.

Welcome Mai, hope you will have a wonderful time on the team, but I am going to take an educated guess and say that won't be much of an issue.

@MTMike87 Insane decision. They even took the time to redub them, and then hide them.

I actually already accepted their ommission. I have the game but haven't had the time to play yet. Now it's an even better package. And also pretty insane that it was already discounted when I bought it.

@MTMike87 REALLY?!? And nobody in the team was like "Let's make sure people know!"?!?!

That was like the one thi g I was a little bummed about. Not terribly bummed, but... bummed.

That is something. Well, pretty awesome that it IS in there, but why not give the option to add or disable them in-game? Strange decision.

@dskatter

Call me a grognard (cuz' I am), but while I should be happy that some things that might need fixing might be fixed, it kind of annoys me that they could add content. It just always feels like you are holding an incomplete product when the cartridge doesn't hold the final version.

@traceman Aha, shame on me for not reading, then.

Guess I am still too salty over the van Gogh card.

After the Amsterdam debacle, you'd think they'd learn.

But no.

@dartmonkey Sorry bud, but I have to agree with @Pillowpants, before this I never heard of that abbreviation either... so... I guess our mileages vary?

I've watched it several times, and I prefer the look of the RTX OFF.

So... I dunno...

Tonal continuity. Now there is a term I needed to to express my feelings towards some other series, mostly to describe how the vibe is destroyed...

Thanks for that!

Graphically it looks amazing, but that main character... Doesn't do it for me at ALL. So... Not sure if it is for me.

Pro Evolution Soccer: Enchanted Wonderland.

@darkswabber You forgot the best one, Time Extension!

Happy New Year from me too.

This year I will play Octopath Traveler 0 to completikn and trynto wrestle myself away from Kairosoft games. Not gonna happen.

I spent last night playing N64 games with my kids on our brand new online sub.

I must say, as a young 'un, I hated the N64 after the SNES. I thought the graphics were butt ugly compared to the sweet pixel art I had grown to love, and PS1 had way better games.

But I kind of chose to ignore how much I loved F-Zero, Wave Race, 1080, and that's just the Nintendo games. In hindsight, it has some absolute treasures. And for the record, all three of those are better than the GC iterations, if you ask me.

So I completely decimated my kids on F-Zero and Star Fox last night, among others. Good times. Goldeneye's control scheme, though... yuch.

Asked them nicely again to update Crystal Chronicles to allow us to play together on one console.

Loved OT1, though I didn't see the final ending, really liked OT2 up to a point, because I didn't like the characters as much as the first, but I love town building so can't wait to start playing 0.

It would be awesome if somewhere down the line the cap on building stuff is upped a little, but I won't complain. I will just keep my tiny village tiny. Which is fine. Looking forward to playing it. Will be the first game I am going to be playing a lot of since ages, Vampire Survivors notwithstanding.

Are these browser games? Because I have never ever heard of any of these before. They look good, though!

Japan has had some stinkers too, but this isn't one of them. The US one is lovely too, and on the one hand I really appreciate the different outfit, but on the other hand... at the end, a small win for Japan for me.

I cannot get over that intensely ugly red border on the S2 carts. Could be reason enough to go digital.

I hate modern Street Fighter. Oh well...

As much as I love RE4, especially from a gameplay standpoint, the series pretty much already jumped the shark, or giant fish monster in RE4's case, in their storyline right there.

After that, they just continuously seemed to double down on the sillyness. 7 felt like it got back to a more gritty, realistic vibe, but then Village turned up the notch to a 1000.

I am kind of done with it. It used to be more serious, bar a select few boss monsters.

Tough one. JP is nicer in many aspects, ecxept for Samus being positioned so oddly.

@Froid12 Yeah, I know. I am wondering how much of a bummer it will be for me, or if it is the difference between a village (which I'd prefer anyways, honestly) and a town, or if the 250 cap is very limiting.

I kinda want the Switch 1 version, but I don't know how much of a bummer the smaller town size will be.

On the other hand, I like small towns better than large cities anyways... But I know the difference is pretty huge between the Switch 1, 2 and PS5 versions.

@JumpingJackson This one hundred percent boils down to nostalgia. Ill-fitting artwork and this era, simply warm fuzzy feelings for me. Perhaps you hrew up with different tastes and influences, and maybe in a different era.

All three are great,US one is the coolest in my opinion. EU isn't bad but the weakest.

I've only played this game for a little bit, but it is SO GOOD!!! - lol noticed this is an updated article, already said as much.

@Spider-Kev Don't judge a book by its cover. And if you happen to like reading books, imagine talking smack about the graphics of a book.

This should not be viewed as a game in the more widely known sense of the word. View it more as a book with rudimentary graphics, and you will be in for a huge treat.

Ugh, this just makes me hate the fact that X Men werennever part of the MCU. It could've been so glorious.

There are a few AI generated vids soing the rounds of "What if a Zelda movie was made in the 60s" or something. They are pretty cool.

This actor looks like what that AI cooked up. So... I guess, really well cast?

@gcunit Thanks man, appreciated!

What's that Japanese game with the red cover in the cover picture?

Maybe I should download that. Now is as good a time as any to get back to gaming, which has been a WHILE! Still a little bumned that the town max size is smaller on Switch 1, but it probably doesn't matter much. If anything, I need to be more selective in who to allow in my town.

On an unrelated note, to any staff who reads this, there seems to be an issue with Time Extension on mobile, unless it's just my phone, but I can no longer read anything there.

That'll be a yes for me.

Sure, it's kind of copying Octopath's style, but it's a style I love immensely so I don't care. It's the natural evolution of sprite-based RPGs, as far as I am concerned.

I cannot lie, if I saw that US box art in the store, it would have definitely piqued my interest.

But, young me not knowing anything about Dragonball, would have been even more interested in the Japanese version.

So, I do not hate the US version, it has that NES charm that would have made me very interested in the game. But the Japanese one, along with the European one, has that too, but more.

Pretty amazing, considering its age, that the original beats almost all of these in terms of animation.

But Akira was an AMAZING piece of animation, so much of it looked so realistic, way before 3D could be used.

I recognize the cover but never actually heard much about the game until now.

Hmm, not a fan of the "Reside Vil" joycon.

@sketchturner As always, that might be a scanning issue, and not necessarily the colouring choice. Please keep that in mind when voting.

That said, NA EU is still best.

Games like this one has the unfortunate effect of making me feel too guilty to return after a long absence, so I doubt I will return.

@KeeperBvK it is a wonderful place, yes. It got too big though, not enough time in one day to visit everything.

Yes, and HD-2D Remake WHEN?!?!

19, I say not bad.

My son wanted it pre-ordered. I won't be playing it myself any time soon, but then again, I can't remember the last time I picked up a controller...

I really enjoyed Arceus, my main criticism beng it was the perfect excuse for a town building experience, which it didn't have.

That would have made it an 11/10 game for me.

Not sure I will like this one.

It's a year old already?

Bleeeeghhh time goes by too fast. STOP IT!!!!

Hmmm... a lot of love for what I perceive as very generic looking characters.

JP for me this time.

@Anti-Matter I know, bud. I was making a joke. Read my comment again. It was a joke about indies from Indonesia. Indienesia.

There is a download code in a box version for FF8. How utterly useless. I mean, it already was, but even moreso now.

@Anti-Matter There is a pun in there somewhere... Indienesian?

@Spider-Kev Bro, this game looks WAY better than Anime Life Sim!

@Anti-Matter Yeah, but I don't like that. Instant turn-off. How you dislike gory action games, I dislike games that give me time pressure. Without it I would absolutely LOVE this, I am sure.
