Re: Rumour: A Game-Key Card Alternative? Nintendo May Have Smaller Switch 2 Carts In The Works

Fighting_Game_Loser

I do hope that this is the case. I understand the circumstances that have led us to GKC but it definitely is hamper on most games that are full retail price for physicals I would want to get. Only one I have gotten was SF6, and that's mainly because I love SF6 a lot and still want to own something tangible of it (not to mention that it's going to get bigger in size anyways since it's an on going fighting game so having everything on the card now wouldn't even make sense really)

Re: The US Suffered Its Worst November Since 1995 In Terms Of Hardware Sales

@Nanoline52 Exactly. I remember seeing that from watching Atrioc and yeah it's insane the mental gymnastics the government takes in trying to make their data seem good, when it in fact shows the opposite. But I guess it's really in the benefit of companies, including those in the game sphere, "if dollar amount goes up, then more success!" instead of people actively buying and using things.

Re: "I'm Running On Fumes" - Digital Eclipse Is Scrambling To Address Issues With Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection

Fighting_Game_Loser

I feel really bad for Digital Eclipse, because I have no doubt that they wanted to make this collection fantastic, but I can't help but feel like WB somehow got their fingers into this and made the Halloween release date be set in stone. DE has also put out a lot of stuff in just the past year or 2 so I think they might be running a bit thin to me. Hopefully they're able to fix the collection quickly enough without destroying their mental health and stuff.

Re: Review: Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection (Switch 2) - A Killer Kompilation, But Online Is A Mess At Launch

@The_Nintendo_Pedant I would say don't let the SF 30th Collection keep you away from a lot of these other collections and re-releases, because 95% of the time now they're really good, especially from Capcom directly (MvC Collection is a must buy imo). I just think it's weird Digital Eclipse had this issue again because from what I've heard from when they worked in SNK's Samurai Showdown Collection, that one was basically perfect for what it needed, unless DE had help from Code Mystics to get the online and emulation better

Re: Talking Point: How Do You Play NES Games These Days?

Fighting_Game_Loser

Probably NSO and modern compilations have been how I've played NES games. NSO has a lot of games but obviously doesn't cover most of the major 3rd party titles due to licensing stuff, so I think I probably have played them both equally. Both have let play a lot of NES games proper finally over the years so I'm very glad many of them have become so accessible

Re: Avatar: The Last Airbender Is Getting Its Very Own Switch 2 Fighter Next Year

@Zeebor15 Mane6 was a completely different team from the Diesel Legacy, considering both of them had stuff being developed at around the same time. Mane6 got gutted before Diesel got released and as they announced Avatar, and the animation style is much more in line with Diesel than TFH, so I'm more so just assuming that the same team that worked on Diesel is working on this. It's why I'm hoping that TFH could get their story mode finished because I don't think the same team would be working on this after they said they were laid off by Maximum/Modus, unless they were able to get the Mane6 crew back to help on this game after the new publisher got the rights.

Re: Avatar: The Last Airbender Is Getting Its Very Own Switch 2 Fighter Next Year

I'm very surprised to see this, because for those that don't know fighting games, this was supposed to be published by Maximum Entertainment, and to try and work on this game they decided to gut one of their other fighting games, Them's Fighting Herds, and its devs and left the game in an awful state. They then released Diesel Legacy which just kinda came and went, and somehow, this game got cancelled alongside that, making the entire situation pointless. Now, the company that revived this project also got the rights to TFH and Diesel Legacy, and it seems the Diesel Legacy team is the one that's working on this, so I'm hopeful this game is good but I'm really hopeful they bring back Mane6 to finish TFH's story mode, because that would make me so happy.

Re: Poll: How Many New Games Do You Buy In A Year?

Fighting_Game_Loser

It really kinda depends for me. Sometimes I find some games for really good prices and occasionally splurge a bit depending on if I decide to trade in a lot of games or something (a.k.a. this year with Switch 2 and me trading in a bunch of games and buying a lot of used/retro games at my local game store), while other times I'm a bit more stingy and only buy a few in a year, maybe only one

Re: Japanese Charts: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Can't Compete With Mario Kart World

Fighting_Game_Loser

@JR150 I mean sure it could of been a marketing get by Sega to try and put their other series in Crossworlds to get more Japanese players, but I don't think it's that. Probably the opposite of both parts with Sega using Sonic to try and get more brand awareness for their personal properties in the US kinda like the All-Stars Racing games.
And that's not to say it's not working even. Sonic is so unknown in Japan that if I remember correctly most of his recent games haven't even made the top 10 JP charts in their opening weeks besides Frontiers. So if anything this is a sign of growth, probably just not one we'll see become potentially big until later down the line
