Also it’s really funny to hear “Sonic is too good for that crap”. Yes, we wouldn’t want to sully the prestige of the franchise responsible for Sonic 06, Secret Rings, Free Riders, or Rise of Lyric now, would we?
@SoIDecidedTo A couple months ago, One of the guys who worked on the series admitted they wanted to add more franchises than just those two, including Mega Man, PAC-Man, Street Fighter, Metal Gear, Dragonball, and some Sone/MS characters. Of course this never happened probably because it was a rights nightmare and without the pull of someone like Sakurai
Soundtrack is still excellent as is. As much as I like arrangements I’m glad they didn’t touch it. It’s still my favorite FF game so I can’t wait to get it, I’m especially interested in the difficulty levels
Mega Man is an inclusion I can get behind at least. That said if I get this I’ll probably only get Mega Man and PAC-man, and the Sega characters(which will hopefully include Tangle, Whisper and Stcks at some point), I still can’t come around to the inclusion of Nickelodeon.
@shonenjump86 Funny enough I’d totally buy it if they added Solid Snake
It was a "fine" Direct. If this was in the Switch 1's fifth year no one would care, but as the first Direct for the for your new console post launch, "fine" isn't good enough. I'm not gonna poo poo on it an say it was irredeemable garbage and the console is doomed, I feel like people are being too overdramatic, but it really needed that extra OOMF
Might pick this up in the future at some point. Been wanting to play a good wrestling game for a while, even if I'm more into the arcadey style(wanted to play AEW but it kept crashing on the Switch 2, so I guess it still isn't BC yet)
@N00BiSH If we're talking adding more Star Fox soundtracks, how about we add games we don't have on the service like Adventures or the SNES game, before 64 3D since we already have 64
@Specters
Jennifer Hale being involved was also something that made Helena Taylor’s complaints very suspicious. Now I’m no expert on business or VA casting, but it’s definitely weird to undercut Helena Taylor and the hire a very popular, high demand, and probably more expensive VA like Hale
I remember when all of that was going down. And even when it was revealed people were being lied to by the VA, instead of apologizing to Kamiya, some people even tried to justify their harassment with crap like "well he was being rude anyway!" or "well he still handled it terribly"
It wasn't right no matter how you slice it and the way people handled it after the fact makes it clear that it was never about accountability, people just wanted outrage and to stroke their own egos
Not everyone at Nintendo is infallible. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, including people like Miyamoto.
I do hope Imamura knows his work at Nintendo is still very well regarded. I would love to see him back for a new SF and F-Zero someday.
@GoldenSunRM and then when they gave those same people literally more SF64 no one bought them
Every time I just hear YongYea, which just takes me out of it, especially having watched his videos. I don’t think the dub is awful(David Hayter as Kashiwagi, Matt Mercer as Majima in particular are great), but when your main character is very miscast, it’s hard to sit through
@GinMiguel I hated it there too. I’m fine with guest characters. They can be fun, but we’re reaching the point where they’re putting people anyone without any rhyme or reason, just putting them in there entirely for shock value. SpongeBob isn’t as bad as Danica Patrick, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it
This has scam written all over it. Especially the implications of "premium". Also a dating app centered entirely around Smash Bros just screams bad idea. I refuse to believe any of this is actually legit
Like, there’s a reason people warn you about connecting modded consoles to the internet, or why tutorials warn about bricking consoles if you’re not careful. Those warnings aren’t there for window dressing.
Personally I find the statement about class action lawsuits more damming
The only new game that would excite me outside of the predictable(but welcome) 3D Mario or MK, it's probably Star Fox, and I hate that I have to emphasize that I want a new entry rather than another rehash of SF64, but here we are.
Not expecting anything mindblowing for 3rd parties, but I would jump for joy if they have FFVII Remake or MGS Delta, or the entire slate of Yakuza
I replayed this a while ago and I still really enjoyed my time with it but I think it needs more than a simple rerelease. A remaster with more single player, improved controls, and online multiplayer would be a dream

I have the GC games in the Dolphin but never got around to playing them, I need to fix that soon
Re: Yakuza Kiwami 2 Brawls Onto Switch 2 In November
Honestly this bodes very well for the other LAD games under the Dragon Engine. Hopefully games like Judgement, Infinite Wealth, etc., aren't far off

There. It now sounds disappointing so when it comes out we might be surprised
Re: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase Announced For Tomorrow, 31st July 2025

Isn't OoT already on the app? Seems like a big waste when there's tons of great soundtracks still missing, even from Zelda alone.

You can tell this was done entirely because of Paramount’s role in the movies

Re: Talking Point: Which Nintendo Series Are You Most Excited To See Return On Switch 2?
Star Fox provided they finally move the hell on from 64
F-Zero in the style of GX would be a dream
Golden Sun 4 so they can finally follow up from Dark Dawn’s cliffhanger

As someone who still gives Capcom crap for all the other mega man cancellations, I’m happy that one got the axe

Re: PlatinumGames Wipes Several Games From Its Website's Portfolio
That’s really dumb, even with their low points devs should stand by every project they were a part of.
Besides, Madworld, Anarchy Reigns, Infinite Space and Transformers Devastation are 100% games to be proud of
