I obviously can't make any final judgements, but I fear this will be too simplified for the sake of accessibility. I don't see people being able to recreate Kojima's P.T. in this like with Dreams.

Regardless, I'm still looking forward to see what people will be produce to do with this game.

If only Disney would bring back LucasArts.

@Bass_X0 That's funny. One of the Screenwave guys went on Reddit last December to talk about how they were going to be making better AVGN episodes for 2021.

That pose would fit right in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

Mobile player: "We paid 9 dollars for this?"

Switch player: "I paid 30!

So long, ray Bowser!

@Noid Are you saying Iwata is guilty of these business practices by Nintendo? Sure, he was the head of the company, and he most likely had involvement/complicity in the initial amiibo struggles.

However, in regards to fangames, Iwata had expressed regret over the strict legal takedowns. He even hoped for a better procedure that didn't just slam anybody with a DMCA notice.

If only the Star Fox series was as important to Nintendo as it is to Imamura.

How about a Metroid Prime 4 "See you soon!" card?

@ecco6t9 I think there are Doom multiplayer mods that allow up to 200 players, so it is definitely feasible.

You guys are forgetting the most important one; dual-screen gameplay.

@SwitchVogel I'm still holding out hope for Bubsy.

"I'll use my Elisa card! Her defensive stats are very low but she has a powerful cringe ability like no other."

I would like to see a Minecraft novel from Max's dad. Spaceblocks anyone?

@flummerfelt Yeah, that series deserves much more attention. It's gotten to the point where Wario represents basically only "Ware" in the Super Smash Bros. series due to the lack of "Land" games.

P.S. Wario Land >>> WarioWare

As much as the gaming community trashes EA, it would be nice to see more support from them on Switch beyond second rate sports title ports. It would be amazing to see the Titanfall games on a Nintendo console.

So the price is actually fair to pay for now, huh?

@Silly_G I think the blame for Youngblood's mediocre female protagonists lies with Machine Games and Arkane Studios. Whether or not id Software can handle a female hero well in the DOOM reboot series remains to be seen.

On a side note, if you want to experience a real Ghostbusters 3, try out The Video Game. It's pretty solid.

"I'm Fox McCloud, Royal Knight of the Lylat System."

Last I checked, he was a mercenary. I guess either Fox was trying to sound cool or Rare was willingly rewriting the established story of Star Fox to fit their game's narrative.

@Heavyarms55 Educate me on this. I was under the belief that there was at least some truth to Japan downplaying their role over the atrocities committed during World War II.

For example, I remember reading about how manga artist Junji Ito often criticizes Japanese society through his work and that Gyo was inspired by Unit 731 and Japan's supposed past reluctance to mention it.

I also heard about controversies over their history textbooks with some people seeing them as rather brief in areas when it discusses the 1930's-1940's period.

Although, I do recall bringing up Hideki Tojo once to my father, who was a Japanese citizen, and he seemed to get somewhat angry and called him "worse than Hitler" but he spent a good deal of his life in the U.S. as well so I'm not sure if this sentiment was affected by his dual citizenship.

I'm not really trying to take sides here, just trying to get the facts straight because it would comfort me to learn that Japan is completely open and honest about their past.

@Silly_G A Sonic/Teletubbies crossover may be just what Sega needs.

I hope there are bunch of those Pocky rabbits hopping around in Teletubbyland as Sonic reaches the Windmill checkpoint after fighting Badnik Noo-noo vacuum cleaners.

"Cloud gaming" might as well be called "lag gaming".

Stadia and any service like it is doomed to being nothing but a tertiary option for gaming until countries, especially the U.S., overhauls their internet infrastructure to support them, alongside considerable technological advancements in streaming.

About time. These two hacks were one of the reasons the franchise has become such a pathetic joke. Seriously, the only Ken worse than Pontac is Penders.

@RupeeClock All the events in recent times such as Sega's prolonged development cycles and new talent do arugably point to Sonic regenerating into his Fourth incarnation.

That's disappointing to hear. His Smash Bros. photography goes back and forth between being cinematic and hilarious.

He could honestly create an album book out of all the shots he has taken and I bet it would sell nicely.

This dude is a hack director. Honestly, his film-making ability only deserves SyFy Channel budgets, unfortunately, by piggybacking on video game franchises like Mortal Kombat and Resident Evil, Hollywood keeps hiring him.

When it comes to Kunio-Kun, 2D>3D.

@Heavyarms55 There's tropes within it that really bug me but I still love Japanese animation regardless.

Things like Akira and the Ghibli movies are what I want to see more of in the States.

@StevenG Well, the classic Doom games had platforming elements too. There was no jumping, yeah, but there were still plenty of moments where you had to generate enough speed to cross a gap or make a leap of faith. Even one of the Doom II maps revolved around a tightrope gimmick.

@ivory_soul You're right, they are no better, arguably worse. The Nerd reviewed Ecco The Dolphin as if it were a bad game, cussed his way through rather than actually analyzing it, and he didn't even bother to get to the final act which had plenty of potential for material considering how crazy it gets.

I guess I'll finally see what all this "fus" is about.

@Marxally Same reason for me. I'll support the 5th Cell devs any way I can.

This manga is kinda weird like, I didn't think Nintendo would have approved a licensed series where Mario urinates on Yoshi but here we are.

So Rare isn't involved? What are they even around for anymore if they don't work on the IPs they created. I guess Microsoft has really lost faith in them over the years.

I bet SephirothKen is pretty happy right now.

@ivory_soul I get that his movie failed but he needs to accept the situation that he's in. He shouldn't resent the one thing that got him to where he is now by putting in the least amount of effort possible.

By watching classic AVGN, you can see he has a knack for dynamic camera angles and clever dialogue. He has potential but he also has that habit of eccentric creators by doing something completely strange (i.e. Death Mwauthzyx) and never budging on dropping them, regardless of whether or not it makes the story worse.

I think by embracing the creative rot that his channel is in right now, he is giving up opportunities to grow as a filmmaker. Plenty of great directors like Hitchcock didn't stun the world with their first film and they took that criticism to heart.

James got defensive over the negative reception over his Sega Activator episode by saying people didn't seem to get he was going for a silly slapstick tone even though many people did in fact understand what he was doing, myself included, and we thought it just bad. Something tells me this is how he reacted to the negativity over his film. He just brushed off critics as people who "didn't get it" when we knew, as longtime fans, he was trying to make a "so bad, it's good" film and it failed, plain and simple.

Hopefully, if his upcoming horror film that has been in limbo gets made and succeeds, he'll either finally just let AVGN end so Truthers won't have to put up the cringe fest it has become or, in a less likely scenario, it will reignite some his passion to actually make the series watchable again.

@somebread Exactly. Killing an entire franchise over one entry is ridiculous.

Imagine if Capcom had that mentality back in the 80's when the first Mega Man game flopped.

@Snatcher And Ghostface makes me think of Edvard Munch's The Scream.

@ivory_soul Oh, I'm well aware that I'm not the only person who thinks AVGN has gotten worse.

https://www.reddit.com/r/TheCinemassacreTruth/comments/i95kaj/the_cinemassacre_truth_megathread_have_any/

@Bass_X0 That's partly correct but it's more so that he has simply lost the passion to play the Nerd.

It has been stated several times by Mike, Kieran, and even James himself that he wanted to end the series several times but Screenwave swooped in to capitalize off the AVGN/Cinemassacre brand to do pretty much everything else for him other than the acting.

James doesn't want to play the Nerd anymore but he has a family and AVGN is his most lucrative property so he has reluctantly kept the series going.

I hate to be the downer in this comment section but this series has been going downhill hard ever since Screenwave took over.

I'm not saying there's no joy to be had in AVGN anymore, it's just not nearly as entertaining or well made as it used to be.

@Heavyarms55 You're more right than you realize. James has stopped writing for AVGN regularly and he has Screenwave do most of the work for him. He basically just an actor at this point.

Even though I'm wasn't overjoyed by the announcement of Minecraft characters joining Smash, at least it gave us what is possibly the best Kirby copy ability.

I still haven't received my Streets Of Rage 4 Limited Edition Bundle. Perhaps I'm being impatient but I was assured that it would ship out by mid-August so...

"How much longer will you survive?"

Dude, Zombi U's tagline is almost identical to this one, "How long will you survive?".

I would like to see Nintendo to make a follow-up product for these
RC cars. Perhaps they can call it the Righty LX.

I love that trailer. Lively and animated, it supplements my hype for this new G&W even more.

@Roam85 Anyone that mentored Miyamoto is the man.

"For example, rumour has it that Namco’s Pac-Man was conceived when creator Toru Iwatani glanced at a pizza with one slice missing..."

This isn't a rumor, he confirmed it himself multiple times but he did give an additional reason for how he designed Pac-Man which was modeling him after the kanji character for mouth.

@nessisonett I was honestly about to say the same thing.
