Have they ever said why Bonkers and Goof Troop won't come to he older versions of the collection? My only guess is that those two are using a Nintendo made SNES emulator instead of Capcom's NES emulator.
@RainbowGazelle She was sort of Grandfathered by the mid credits scene of the first movie. The scene was added during the whole resigned delay of the first movie, as we know all too well.
I predict an ESA lawsuit against Google with half of them saying "Don't feed our games into the Slop Machine!" with the other half going "Oy! Those are our games that we want to put into OUR own Slop Machines!"
@Zeebor15 Might be best if they just re-did the whole dub since, yea know, 4Kids made it. I could see Discotek Media doing a SD on BD release of the sub.
Is it just me or with all this collaborating going on, is someone looking to buy out the other? I mean, Sega tried to merge with Bandai in the 90's, but the deal fell though. Whose to say they aren't trying to do it again?
@Pak-Man This is the internet, you can't have non-binary opinions on here! /s
But seriously, I'm conflicted about GenAI as a whole. I do not like it, I do not like seeing it, but I know that it isn't going away anytime soon. (Even though I do hope the bubble pops soon)
I am very concerned about Hino dismissing the fact how GenAI is trained, maybe because he doesn't see much imagery of his own games being mutilated by the machines?
Bleh. Maybe it's a good thing Yokai Watch is currently dead, as I won't have to see my favorite series being Soylent Greened.
AI should be used like any other tool in a toolbox. It shouldn't be the only thing used. But I do dislike it because A: How smug it is (and the people who use are even more smug), B: How ugly an low quality it looks (Ironically), C: How unethically it was made with stealing assets without permission, and D: How F-ing forced it is by big tech despite the fact it's a money black hole.
Hopefully, this includes Game Freak, so they can slap them out their indie mindset. That said, I see this as more so circling the wagons rather than buying companies for the fun of it, like Sony and Microsoft did. Intelligent Systems, Good-Feel and HAL are on my short list, with maybe a wild pick such as WayForward and Level5.
@Fighting_Game_Loser I think Directs are staying, but they'll be moving these smaller reveals to the app. Leaves the Direct open for actual reveals for new games and such.
Look. All you need to do is re-release Yokai Watch 2. Just 2. I would like it if 1 was also given a English re-release, but right now, I just want my Yo-Kai back. Not Holy Horror mAnsIon.
I feel like 90-95% of Pokemon's problems could be solved if Nintendo just made Gamefreak a first party studio. I mean, it would be a whole pain and a half to get the studio up to Nintendo standards, but they did it with Retro Studios, so maybe they could do it with Gamefreak?
@AllBLK From a recent leak, the budget for Z-A was in the range of $13 Million. I'm 99% sure that Palworld has a bigger budget. Heck, even the upcoming Gen 10 has a budget of $20 Million.
@N00BiSH It is getting a bit too close though. Maybe once the ex-EA NoA President leaves Nintendo at the end of the year maybe they can get Wario out of accounting and back to adventures without sports and/or microgames.
Either Copyright is rendered toothless or it becomes even more strict. Both are bad in their own ways.
The best scenario would be to just bury OpenAI with legal fees and hope that the money tap dries up for AI companies as a whole, like it did for the dotcom bubble.
I think the problem with Doug was that he... Never challenged his superiors. He felt very yesman, to me. Think that was because of his previous experience at EA as even minor disagreements equaled a pink slip.
@AussieMcBucket Considering we already had Reggie as a POC, I doubt it's because she's a woman. I'm think NCL is wanting an extra hand to fix the PR that's on the decline.
Hmmmm. My thoughts is that Doug Bowser did an "Okay" job, but not enough to renew his contract. Can also see NCL wanting someone back in the spotlight like Reggie with their PR; as it really needs a soft reset after jestures at the Switch 2
Having someone from the DS days could help quite a bit in terms of getting that Whimsy Nintendo back. in any case, good luck Pritchard and so long, Bowser!
@ChromaticDracula I think they still own the rights, but are kind of squeamish on it. After "Quiet on Set" was released, Nickelodeon is playing a hard game of PR. Also, the only good Ren and Stimpy game was published by Sega.

Re: Opinion: Pokémon Legends Z-A Is The Creepiest Entry Yet, Not In A Good Way
I feel like 90-95% of Pokemon's problems could be solved if Nintendo just made Gamefreak a first party studio. I mean, it would be a whole pain and a half to get the studio up to Nintendo standards, but they did it with Retro Studios, so maybe they could do it with Gamefreak?
Re: Opinion: Pokémon Legends Z-A Is The Creepiest Entry Yet, Not In A Good Way
@topsekret Because Gamefreak still thinks of itself as an Indie. It's like Valve, but worse.

Re: Poll: Is It About Time Game Freak Added Voice Acting To Pokémon?

Re: Poll: Is It About Time Game Freak Added Voice Acting To Pokémon?
A bloody gacha game has more voice acting than the mainline games. Come on Game Freak. You're no longer an indie studio. Stop acting like one.
Re: Notorious Group 'Crimson Collective' Claims To Have Hacked Nintendo
@N00BiSH Was trying to make a joke that they started to go down to EA's level because of Doug, but it was a bad joke so I'll take the L on it.

Re: Sorry, Nintendo's Recent Pikmin Videos Aren't Hinting At Something More
Reminder that before being renamed to Nintendo Pictures, Dynamo Pictures made the trio of Pikmin shorts during the 3DS/Wii U days.
Re: Nintendo Goes Full Pixar In Strange New Animated Short Film, 'Close To You'
@Zeebor15 I'm guessing Nintendo Pictures, as they were the one who made those Pikmin shorts back in the 3DS/Wii U days.
