@Not_Soos Explains what you can do in Superstar Saga.

@Arkay You can't like your own comments. If you try to do so, it displays a pop-up giving you a big fat "nope."

@Joeynator3000 Level 5?! They can't get a single game out the door, let alone co-develop one!

6 million dollars? That's like one or two month's worth of revenue for the game? They could easily just shake down the whales to pay for it.

@Gamergirl94 There it is again. I see no difference between people calling it Sweet Baby and the Illuminati. At this point I wish for people to give me a list of games they deem as "DEI Free" which is just a bunch of Flash games for some CHUD Podcast,

@Miu I hate to break it to you but modchips go hand and hand with piracy. Always has, always will be. The amount of people who buy modchips who swear to ONLY run homebrew is so small it becomes VERY unprofitable.

Jesus. That modship seller will be smited so hard that it makes Gary Bowser's punishment look like a slap on the wrist. And without a lawyer?! How dumb can you be??!

Still wondering why Nintendo hasn't at the very least bought a minority stake in the company, like they have with HaL or Intelligent Systems

@Xeacons Freedom of speech is the freedom of speech FROM the GOVERNMENT. As in Uncle Sam can't smite you speaking your mind, but your Uncle from Nintendo can smite you if you break their TOS. Remember that as big as video game companies/websites are they are still private places. Their bouncers don't need to be lawyers to kick you out.

@Dom_31 I'm honestly more surprised that they can afford these missed moon shots AND be a private company.

@Lightsiyd I honestly think they should at least do something or other with him, though I can't imagine him without at least a few nods to the YTPs of him.

@Poco_Lypso And yet, you have a Morgana icon.

Honestly, Level 5 makes Valve look like a Swiss train.

@Slowdive Nah, it'll be one the last Switch 1 games to release at this rate.

This does not Gera Ger Po.

@Pak-Man Short answer, Pac-Attack is basically a Mario 2 USA in relation to Cosmo Gang.

@Overzeal They do have copyright laws, but only for stuff made in China.

@mlt Long story short, he acted like a 4channer when the game was being developed. When called out, he went "Yea, not my best behavior. Sorry about that."

I honestly kind of hope there's a Pitfall Movie with Jack Black, just so he can go full circle with his career. One of Black's earliest roles was an advertisement for David Crane's Pitfall! (for the 2600/VCS)

There's a reason why the Super Mario Bros Super Show has influenced the main Mario universe, but this show is a black elephant on the Zelda series (I would argue the Zelda CD-i games had more influence than this show.) Though I would eat my words if there is a scene in the Zelda movie where Link says "Well EXCUUUUSE Me, Princess."

@burninmylight

As a person who personally helped fund the game though development (Again, in the credits) and though reading the links @N00BiSH has linked... I have no regrets from funding the game, double dipping on both Steam and Switch, and buying merch of the game. (Love the Fangamer Pizza Tower Cup)

My take on the situation is this, McPig/Pizza Tower Guy has an chudish online persona. Does this make him an chud IRL? I'm going to er on the side of no. I'm not excusing him of his behavior, but I will give him credit that when confronted with his past behavior, he took the L & tried to apologize. Was it enough? Eh, the mob will never accept one but what he said was better than saying nothing or doubling down.

As for stereotypes... That's basically IS the whole set design for the game. Why are people mad about the whole Native American Cheese-slimes but don't care about the literal Pig Cops or Mr Stick, the landlord that takes your money. Now if he put in something like blackface or a buck toothed Asian, that I would call them out on. I believe stereotypes, if done right, are an effective form of comedy. I believe the Pizza Tower Team have done a banger job at this, though they should retire any Native American stereotypes for their next project.

I'm not going to force you to buy and play the game @burninmylight, nor I will be the Sam-I-Am to bother you about trying this Green Eggs and Ham. Yet I wish you could just say "No sir, I do not like it" and move on with life.

Some actual release dates would be nice. Especially for games releasing outside of Japan.

Kind of biased because I'm in the credits, but it's a great game!

@N00BiSH They aren't racist, it's just Twitter being Twitter. Can't say 100% on the Indian thing, but the so called "Jewish" stereotype is more based on Mr Burns and Scourge. Poor taste, I can coincide to that, but racist? No.

Can't help but feel the Keanu Reeves joke from the first movie basically guaranteed him being cast as Shadow.

@Sonicka Wouldn't be surprised if Mihoyo has early units for the Switch 2 so that they can launch it with 6.0 or something.

@Itachi2099 Honestly, I'm putting my chips on it being a Launch Year Title for the Switch 2.

If only it came out on the 15th/16th.

Something tells me that trouble is brewing at Level-5. These consent delays are less of a "Let's let it bake a few more months to make sure it's fully done" and more of a "Nope, let's throw this out and start ALL over. If I was Nintendo, I would buy a 25% stake in the company to find out what the heck is going on to cause all this confusion and delay.

@Yalloo I'm more surprised on how cheap they were able to buy Rovio for. They were able to buy the whole company for $768 Million. For comparison, Take Two bought Zynga for almost $13 Billion.

@russell-marlow Well then, where IS this evidence? The GDC conference video for example, surely you could at least tell me what the title of it is and the timestamp of the comment made by the executive.

Also, what are the sources that AREN'T from "paid off websites"? You make it seem like it's easier to list off who isn't "paid off" than who are "paid-off".

I'm at least glad he was able to see his work be enjoyed by a whole new generation before he passed away. We don't know how he died, but I'm hoping it was at least peaceful.

@axelhander Tengen got in trouble because they were violating Nintendo's patents on the NES itself. As the patents expired in 2004, can't do ANYTHING about this.

puts tinfoil hat on

Though I also think Sony has basically locked down Hoyoverse into their console ecosystem via backroom deals. But that's just me.

I have a personal theory that Hoyo is saving all their energy for releasing Star Rail, Genshin, AND ZZZ in the first year of the Switch 2/Pro in a way that mimics how Epic helped the first Switch in it's first year with Fortnite.

@russell-marlow @fenlix If you could link some actual articles and/or interviews rather than waving your hands up in the air, saying "Wololo!" I MIGHT consider the idea that what Sweet Baby does is a negative and not just "They worked on game, game isn't good, thus SBI = Bad"

Something, something, heated gamer moment.

@SillyG Ask Atlus.

NGL, kind of wondering how much money this Atari has in it's war chest. Though I doubt any of these recent purchases would cost any more than 8 figures.

Going to be honest, there is ONE reason why Nintendo is hiding who's developing what game. That reason is Arzest.

@RareFan I could see the trio as being the former right hand bots of Eggman/Robotnik before he created Orbbot and Cubebot. As for their roles, I can see them being minor villains whenever Eggman is busy cooking up his schemes. Something to keep Sonic busy between his regular "Save the world from Eggman/what ever pandora's box said person opened this time" activities.

@ottoecamn They really should try to fit in the current humans and "Mobians" (Which I use to describe all anthropomorphic bipedal animals like Sonic and Co) into a main line story rather than be in a youtube video. (The current explanation is that the humans live on continents while the Mobians mostly live on smaller islands.)

@Druidsbrook Kind of want to see something from Atlus, but they should have a team of lawyers ready, just in case a certain Penders tries to sue.

@FawfulDX Modding is technically illegal as laid out in "Micro Star v. FormGen Inc." in 1998. Though most companies either turn a blind eye to modding or give their blessing to allow modding, mostly for PR and financial reasons. (Legal Wack-a-Mole is VERY expensive, even to huge corporations)

@StarryCiel May I have a source on this claim? Not saying you're lying, just need a hunch at the most.

@Anrei Try looking up their anti-monopoly tactics. Other than the usual "Internet Explorer VS Netscape" browser wars, I would look up "AARD Code". A fake error message used in Pre-Release versions of Windows 3.1 to fool people that the DOS they used (in this case DR-DOS) was incompatible with Windows when it actually was.

@silverdamascus You do realize that American Copyright terms are actually shorter than the rest of the world? 95 years sounds like a long time but consider that the usual standard for copyright for most of the world is "Lifetime of creator + 75 Years". So in the case of Mickey Mouse, he wouldn't be in the public domain until 2042 if the US used the world standard. Granted, ALL of Walt's works would also be put into the public domain at the same time, but still.

@TechaNinja Going all in with the vibe of AoSTH Robotnik.

I feel like gaming needs a term similar how people describe the eras of Hollywood or Comic Books. "Generations" is good enough term, but sort of falls apart when when you start placing the non-mainstream consoles into the timeline (Also the lack of a concrete first and second generation doesn't help things either). The waters are murky because of how the generations overlap each other. Consider that the NES had new games being made for it until 1994 or how the PS2 kept going until 2012.

For me personally, retro is at least two to three generations old at the least.

@Giancarlothomaz So what, the next 3D Zelda has codename of Alphonse or something?

@Not_Soos IIRC, they didn't shut down, they just became a satellite studio for Blizzard. Which IMHO is worse.

@Sisilly_G The few Atari 2600 Games that still hold up today were from Activision. So it's all up to Xbox if they want to re-release their back catalog from before 2001.

I wouldn't be surprised if they paid extra so they DIDN'T have to buy the Amico mess (to put it lightly).
