Unfortunately, physical media is not so widely available as it could/should be. Sometimes, when I wanna play a game on launch day, I have to resort to digital media. Otherwise, it would mean waiting for God knows how long when it comes to games that aren't Marios, Zeldas or Sonics. Physical media is the only way to fight the practice mentioned in the article
Very beautiful! It looks awesome, so for those who "invest" in this type of figure, it's an easy pick. I have some action figures, but I don't spend much on them (I've been more inclined to spending on Funko Pop or the like lately)
If he's happy doing his work with the DQ series, all I can say is I'm more than happy for being able to enjoy his superb work. The franchise is alive and kicking both with retro and new releases, so there's never been a better time to be a DQ fan
Yeah, that's Sega. Dumb business decisions all around. A good practice in marketing is that when an announcement won't bring you any good whatsoever, just don't make it. Keep quiet. But it doesn't seem we should expect any good sense from them. At least that's what they've been showing for the past decades. And if that's a hint at their subscription service, then good luck
I finished Castlevania Circle of the Moon. Now I'm starting Harmony of Dissonance, which I call Pandemonium Advance as a tribute to the colorful old PS1 game. There are so many colors in specific points of the castle that my eyes feel the blow, but it's a great game!
Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze (working slowly towards 100%)
Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance from the Castlevania Advance Collection
Picross S Namco (I'm doing the main Picross puzzles)
Picross S Master System and Genesis Edition (have to finish the last page of color Picross puzzles, then there'll be just the clip Picross ones to 100% it)
Since I'm on vacation, I hope this week will allow a great deal of time to gaming
I love Ys, the action RPG series, but considering the number of games I have on my backlog, a crossover fighting game like this is just not for me. But I'm happy it's gonna be available for those who are into this kind of crossover
It seems to be a made for Japan game. Although there's obviously no problem with anyone elsewhere enjoying it, I think Japan is where it'll likely be more successful
I never thought Tears of the Kingdom would have been one of my most played games this year, but yeah, that makes sense. My top three are nothing out of ordinary:
Zelda Echoes of Wisdom
Zelda Tears of the Kingdom
Animal Crossing
Just a simple guy. I thought some Picross game would make the top three, but I was wrong
And considering it's a time with less striking releases, news outlets will tend to dig for these leaks as though they're gold. I like leaks, but when they're a dime a dozen, there's just no point. I bet the official reveal will come in January
Mega man X has been dormant for some years now. The franchise desperately needs a good new release! But if you give me Mega Man 12 meanwhile, I won't complain while I wait for a new X
I'm currently replaying Circle of the Moon from the Advance Collection and waiting for a sale to get the Dominus Collection. It's never been discounted since it was released in August, but as these collections traditionally get discounted by Konami at some point, it's only a matter of time
I spent such a good time beating all the Mega Picross Puzzles in Picross S Genesis And Master System, so I decided to revisit an old classic before diving into Namco Picross: I'm playing Castlevania Circle of the Moon from the Advance Collection. Not the greatest Symphony of the Nightesque Castlevania, but a really solid game which helped paved the way for what would come out later on the GBA and DS.
And I'm also playing DKC Tropical Freeze in short bursts trying to 100% it. It's gonna be a long way until I do it, but it's such fun work
@Maxz That's it, man. The guy mentioned jazz, but only God knows what he meant by it. I doubt he referred to jazz's depth, variety, richness, range, technique, feeling, etc, etc
It's a curious thing.... I'd like to hear him say what role Sega plays today. Then, we could understand him better. Sounds like he's a little lost. Maybe he still got his feet stuck in the mud Nintendo left behind in the 90s.
Being from the UK, the name 'Rita' never quite sat right with us for Power Rangers. It sounds too much like Rita from down the chip shop
That might happen when you localize a cultural product. Although Rita is quite a popular name in Brazil (especially among 40-year-olds and older), the name was used in our localization, too, and in my opinion it matches the villain perfectly.
But since her original name is Bandora, I don't get why they didn't use something like Pandora, for example.
Great to know the game performs and plays well. Let's get it soon!
Awesome game. My favorite in the series with a wonderful and lengthy single player mode. It can't get more fun than that. It could have been perfect if online had been decent, but it wasn't. At this day and age, I don't know if there's an excuse for such a bad online service, especially considering the relevance of the franchise
I keep playing DKC Tropical Freeze and Animal Crossing New Horizons and this week I came back to an addiction I've developed in the past few years: Picross. Currently replaying Picross S Genesis And Master System. I need to finish its final five Mega Picross puzzles. When I do it, I'll start Picross Namco Legendary Edition
I love tokusatsu series, but I could never enjoy the americanized Power Ranger versions of Super Sentai. But as this game looks good and the gameplay seems to offer great variety for a beat them up, I'm hyped for it! Good to know it's coming soon
I have quite a big number of rpgs in my backlog and time has been a sensitive aspect of my life recently. Even if this one reviewed great, it wouldn't go to the top of my to play list. I'll play it in the future, but I have no idea when
Currently replaying Tropical Freeze. It's a masterclass in level design and variety. Absolutely love. It's a pity it doesn't get the love it deserves compared to other games in the franchise
[Irony on] The downside of this video is that it gives you a wrong impression of what the game really is like, since it doesn't include any beds [irony off]
I liked the video and I absolutely love this game! I'll start a new save soon.
One good game and two great games. Such a solid bunch this time. I'm still impressed when I see the way Vectorman flows smoothly. It doesn't look like a Genesis game
That's the perfect time for a generous price cut. Then, it'll be history. But I know, I know. Nintendo is not like that. Things are going well enough for them to take that step
@OwenGamer22 It could be incredible. It has the potential, undoubtedly. However, it won't materialize with a game a week. In the beginning of 2026, we will have something heftier, just like what happened to NSO
