@LikelySatan How did the fgc ruin the genre for you? I feel like the vastness of the fgc was the reason I was only able to finally see the amazingness of this genre of game
@LikelySatan Dude if it wasn't complete it wouldn't of taken the team over a year to start releasing dlc characters. DLC characters in a fighter doesn't mean that the game isn't complete, it just means they're continuing support for the game so that people stay invested in the game. Also I made that comment almost half a year ago at this point, so things change drastically
God I'm so glad that iam8bit is doing this release. I was worried that Limited Run was gonna be doing it and then I would of had to fork out how much to get a version of the game with the ost (because I really want it), but this allows me to actually pick it up whenever I'm able to, possibly even finding it at my local GameStop!
As someone who only got into the deep thickets of the Bomberman series a bit more recently, I've been super excited to pick this up. I enjoyed my time with Super R a while back but I plan to get a lot more out of this newest release. Will definitely be picking this one up as soon as possible
@Anti-Matter Honestly I don't really care about the time period of the songs, I'm more so iff-ed on the type of songs they choice. Samba De Amigo's visual and musical identity is heavily rooted in Latin America culture and theming, so seeing all of these safe, contemporary pop songs over more Latin American styled tracks like Smooth, Mambo No. 5, Living La Vica Loca, etc., over songs like dang Tic Tok
Honestly as someone who loves the Wii version of Samba De Amigo and tried out the demo, I think it's more so the controls are more so unorthodox in their function based on what people think they should control like. I will admit that Party Central does feel much odder than the original's controls, but I got accustomed to them after a bit. Definitely gonna be picking this one up
How in the world do they make so many Jumanji games when there has only been two modern movies that I feel like most people have forgotten about yet here we have almost a yearly supply of Jumanji video games
I think my greatest regret when it comes to discarding games is a game I do have, but more so its extras. I got Kirby's Dream Collection at about the ripe age of about 7, and I was so excited to play it as it was around then I was becoming a huge Kirby fan, but since I was 7, I threw away the cardboard box, but then later on I threw away the cd because I didn't know what it was really for, let alone would I of had any way to use it at the time. I kick myself for that one to this day as someone who loves getting physical cd's and vinyls for music I love. And the artbook that came with it slowly over time kinda degraded in quality and one day I simply lost it, but I read through that so many times, I loved going through that. But now my copy of Dream Collection is a shell of its former self and I deeply regret what my younger self did. One of these days I'm gonna sell my current copy of Dream Collection and get a good condition copy of the game with everything included so that I can finally have everything all together once again
As much as I love M2, I always think their M2 ShotTriggers releases are stupidly overpriced for the amount of game you get. The bonuses of them are really neat, but the fact that the ports and extra have to cost extra for digital users and drives up the price of the physical when these should be about $30 max personally. I feel like the work that other studios publish end up having much better pricing for their games
Probably isn't gonna be releasing on Switch considering it's similar style to KOF15, but it would be cool if it did get for Switch or even Nintendo's next console
Awesome this finally has a release date two days after my birthday lol. Got really excited when this finally showed up as I was watching EVO (which everyone should be checking out btw)
Really cool to see this fully announced after the ratings leak. Gameplay doesn't seem too much completely new from the original but that's ok. Might just have to sell my copy of the original so then I can have some extra cash for it
Hopefully this new remake is the Panzer Dragoon Zewi remake they were confirmed to be making a long while ago. The original Panzer Dragoon Remake they did back years ago was kinda decent but I hope that they make the effort to drastically improve upon the original remake to give Zewi the treatment it deserves
F-Zero all the way. As someone who has actually played all three main console games a ton, F-Zero is simply not matched by any other racer, including the ones that try to be spiritual successors to it. It's speed and control is one that no one has replicated one to one yet and is one that is much needed when all we've had from Nintendo in terms of racers is just Mario Kart
I remember hearing of the Minus world all the way back in like 2012/2013 when I was like 7 or 8 when Jwittz made his old video on it and I just thought it was so cool and it's just been the most well know "cool gamer facts" ever since, but I never actually did it until the Switch with NSO because I never ahd wanted to buy it on the virtual console for a whole $5 lol
@TenEighty No problem! Honestly I didn't think there was gonna be a wide physical release of the game so when I saw LRG was gonna be distributing it and had a collectors edition with a Yumetaro plush, I had to get it no matter how long it takes to get here
Gimmick is my absolute favorite game on the NES, period. It's such a technical achievement and beautiful game that it's one game that I feel like everyone should try out. Super happy it's back for everyone and I can't wait to eventually play it, once my impulse buy of the limited edition from LRG comes in after how many months lmao 💀
Just when you think he had enough, he returns to commit more felonies. Wonder what other crazy as hell stuff will happen in this game this time considering the hard right turn the first game took in its second half
@RetroGames You think that Sonic doesn't have genuine fans? Dude if you just aren't a fan of Sonic and you get off on starting tyraids just go to Twitter since you obviously love to argue. You seem like you would fit there perfectly
Someone must have been doing some witness tampering because these scores to not reflect what the blurbs say about each game, especially the supposed 10/10 masterpiece that is apparently Tails Skypatrol
I think that the collection is more worth it now with the physical release and the extra content, and a much better deal if you bought the game on sale like I did for $20, but the audacity for Sega to charge $10 after people already probably payed $40 for it originally, and now having to pay an extra $10 for the extra content is just kinda scummy. Makes me glad that I definitely didn't buy at full price and could save $10 for the whole package. At the very least it is now a much better deal as a whole package for more people now
I always loved the concept of LRG, but slowly over the years as I've gotten older and actually made a few purchases from them and seeing their buyout by Embracer, they're obviously just here more for money and milking on collectors and making preservation of many of the indie titles they do put out actually harder with their limited distributions. I'm happy with their book subsidiary Press Run as they've helped to publish a lot of great retro books, but everything else is marked by overly long production times, milking of customers, and overt greed
There are two ways to be a Nintendo fan and be at there at an investors meeting, you can be the one guy who simply asked about any possible revivals of old series, which is an actual question...
I think that Atlus honestly might be unsure about P3R at this point considering this is one of their next big games, while P5T obviously just from the style is made to be a game for lesser platforms. Would be awesome to see P3R on Switch, but we still have the original P3P on Switch so it's not a crazy dissapointing loss
God this looks amazing. Just the visual polish on showcase here and the super solid looking gameplay already is making want to pick it up. Definitely will be paying attention to this game for the future
@MS7000 I think SF6 sales are low here because most physical games in Japan don't get crazy sales unless it's something like a big first party Nintendo game. Guessing most Japanese sales for such games are largely digital now
@Magician LRG is probably one of their smallest divisions in Embracer considering the scope of stuff they own. Only studio I think that's smaller than that is Bitwave Studios
