It is related. Many times in anime and games during localization they completely change the original context and intent of the original to better suit an idealology that aligns with the localizers instead. If they are worried about AI taking over it’s only because these fringe cases continue without abandon. Consumers don’t appreciate this sort of censorship.

@Gaviin
Hence why they need to do straight one to one translation instead of inserting memes and pop culture references to date the material.

@GooseLoose1
My life as inukai sans dog. Kobayashis dragon maid. Prison school. TMS #FE encore.

Capcom is also removing imagery from its collections and lets not forget what they did to skull girls.

@Arehexes
If it’s the author’s original intent I don’t mind. It’s when they completely change something (aka censoring or outright changing completely) to be woke or to just change it cause “oh think of the children that may be playing this mature game! How dare they have mature themes and boobs in a mature game!”

At least ai translations are more accurate than whatever ideology and political stances paid translators and localizers inject into the products.

If it’s digital only I’ll pass. If they want to sell me the game they need to start by having it be both physical and digital at launch.

I gave it a 7. I completed it last night and I really couldn’t enjoy the gameplay. Too much exhausting every instance of listen, look or think without any sort of logic other than going through every option. I especially find it frustrating when you have to enter names in and you can’t access your notepad to check spelling or to confirm something! Heck I even got a game over since I screenshot information and went to check the album to double check and then I was given a game over of sorts befire allowing me to try again as a joke! So dumb!

@Sylamp
Yeah that’s the problem. I want to pay once for it not 20 or 50 dollars yearly to rent it.

Physical? Is there a physical? If not I’ll pass.

@Joker1234
The cowabunga collection is a mass market physical not tied to LRG.

Still no Castlevania Legends either. That’s the one game I really want to own despite its lukewarm reception! I mean it’s a (now non canon) Castlevania origin game! And a female Belmont! Shanoa isn’t a descendant.

Still no Rondo of Blood or Symphony of the Night.

@Anti-Matter
Expanded roster nearly doubled and some adjustments.

Why such a delay in the physical? Preorders for them have been going on since it was announced.

@DripDropCop146
Don’t forget Super Human Samurai Cyber Squad which I believe is based on Gridman and the American original Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills!

No option for “none of them”?

All of them. I’ve never played rival schools and wonder why it’s not been ported at all. Also curious why Street Fighter Alpha 3 upper or alpha 2 gold haven’t been included in any of the collections so far!

@canaryfarmer
It’s not free though. It costs $20 or $50 yearly so buying them is actually the better bargain.

@SillyG
Cheaper? Well yeah but we want a complete physical game not a forced download.

@Serpenterror
Why can’t they use more of the real estate in the box and put multiple carts inside? Say three carts (one a piece for Doom 16 and Eternal while 1-3 are altogether on another).

Why did they make such a mess of this originally?

@YoshiAngemon
Yet they can put out another Disney owned IP game collection by Capcom in just a few months.

All I really want from them is the Disney Afternoon Collection. Seriously why is that collection not on switch yet?’

The eyes on the European one are off so bad!

@AndyC7MK
Researching something costs nothing. It’s the development that’s costly.

Development of course. Research? Not really.

Hopefully this means the licensed anime costumes are still included.

Remember Anya goes on ootings. Seriously a dub would’ve been preferred.

I still have the original cart I picked up a few years back. I hope they improve upon it.

@babyThorman
Same with game’s development. It also harms the employees. I can’t imagine putting in so much time, effort and passion into a project just to be cancelled and possibly laid off just to recoup some cash. Not every game is going to become a hit success but it should at least have some modicum of success vs canceling it and all the talent wasted on it.

@RygelXVIII
Shouldn’t story have come first and gameplay second?

@RygelXVIII
Yeah but at that point you’ve probably already got traction going from fans and have probably released teasers and early footage. From a consumers point of view this doesn’t endear us to the publisher when they just up and cancel projects for seemingly no valid reason. There shouldve been checks and balances in place way ahead of this. If things were looking as though they weren’t going to pan out earlier then halting a project then would’ve been fine. But having a project this far along with so much time and effort from an employee perspective (especially them as I’ve had to work so much overtime on jobs at my own work that never see the light of day) it’s a major slap in the face not to mention the consumer who would’ve bought it now has a sour taste in their mouth that may never fully recover. (Looking at you Konami and Capcom)

@Fiskern @RygelXVIII
Yeah but we’ve heard this same song and dance from publishers in the past where developers were nearly finished only to have the rug pulled out from underneath. The best example I can think of is when Capcom cancelled Megaman Legends 3 stating that it was on the grounds that there wasn’t enough support from the community which was a bold faced lie.

So why cancel them and lose the money? Makes no sense. Develop the games to completion that your employees are working hard on then sell them. You’ll make money. I swear sometimes you have to make the most absolutely nonsensical decisions if you want to be a member of management in any company.

@Nintendo_Thumb
Lesser known fact. Popular games are popular for a reason and sell well for those same reasons. Of course not everyone has the same ideas about what is “good”, “bad” or niche. I like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde on NES but I know for a fact I’m in the minority of those who think similarly. Selling the games individually outside of the service isn’t going to hurt then. In fact it could be as simple as adding them as optional DLC on their respective store pages like every other game with dlc packs.

@Bass_X0
Granted it’s a great deal if you are taking advantage of everything on offer. For those that don’t however it’s a bad deal. Options. Options are never a bad thing. Individual custom made libraries that are aren’t tied to the service has some merit. You can buy only what you want and if Nintendo truly wishes to build in the account system promise allow our purchases to transfer to the next generation and so on.

@InTree
Besides I’m sure most wanted a totally different service like all the games on all the consoles so far all at once and just picking and choosing what you wanted to play. Not the drip feed for the umpteenth time.

Id rather purchase and own the individual games forever regardless of gen going forward. Just like I didn’t have to repurchase my nes and snes games when I got a Retron. It should be a simple matter of transferring VC to switch and so on.

@InTree
I’m not most. Kinda hard to see value in an online service when I don’t play online. Thing is I wouldn’t rebuy. I’d sit on it and plainly tell them I purchased them once so why do I need to again. I’d buy the newer titles that I couldn’t access before and wanted to play easily. In fact they should’ve took a pace from apple and Sonys playbook about transferring content.

Still no way to buy individual titles. Easy pass…….again.

@Bigmanfan
They could allow us to transfer them ourselves. Back it up on a pc or the like then transfer it to the new system. Of course if it’s a proper account system then we shouldn’t really have any issues. As far as I can see there’s no difference in buying a piece of physical media and using it in all applicable devices for one price and its digital counterpart. Same logic really should apply to both.

@Mgalens
Exactly. Plus why should I even have to sub to an online service when I spend the vast majority of my gaming offline? I wouldn’t even use the price of the admission! Online multiplayer? No. Cloud Saves? No. DLC (which can be owned separately not exclusively to the service? No. The only part I’m interested in is a self curated library of games that I’ll never lose access to and have year after year whenever or whenever I want to play.

@Bigmanfan
You do need the internet. You have to check in every 7 days. I’d have access one week and then the next it would be gone until I went to public WiFi again. Every Saturday it was the same thing. I’d be on public WiFi for most of the day and open and close the libraries constantly but it never wanted to perform one UNTIL I was home that night with no internet connection and I wasn’t about to make a special trip just to access them again.

You should certainly be able to transfer certain purchases like Virtual Console titles and the like. It’s no different from buying a retron and playing nes and snes games you already purchased. And the service for all the libraries is $50 a year!

Netflix has movies it can add all the time and they are streaming. NSO retro libraries are by their nature finite as they only have maybe a few hundred or so games on each platform and that’s it. Unlike Netflix the consumer doesn’t get to pick and choose you either get all of them or none of them.

My main point of contention is there is no option to purchase them outright and play offline. I had the best time with the VC on 3ds. Being able to go to a WiFi hotspot a few times a month and buying games and playing them basically anywhere I wanted and didn’t have to be tethered to an online service. I had a similar experience with the psp and vita. Had Nintendo had crossbuy from 3ds to switch like Sony had on all its platforms we would be miles ahead and we wouldn’t be in this situation. You should own your digital content. To me it’s no different from buying a retron and using the games I already have and just playing them on it. I didn’t have to buy my games again so why do the majority of you accept it as that is the way it has to be?

I still have my ps2 copy and as soon as it gets a physical release (hopefully non LRG or the like) I’ll pick it up and replay it on the switch.

I’d buy it no other way other than physical.

I’ll just wait for the trilogy pack and buy them all at once physically.

Still no option for non subscribers.

@KidSparta
You forgot the CDi games.

It would really help things run more smoothly if they focused on unannounced games instead of spending so much time on things that are out in just a month or two.

@Snatcher
Especially in keeping the legacy of HOTD alive. (Rest in peace Daisuke Sato)😢

@Snatcher
Yes the original had costumes from them as well as two other anime one other being Is This A Zombie.
