Re: Feature: "It Would Be Really Cool To Do A Retrospective On Iwata" - Atari's CEO On Acquisitions & Dream Collaborations

@Zeebor15 To be fair, they know quite a number of people who got the pink slip as of late. Embracer has a lot of things, but little to show. EA has their sports games, Activision (Before they got nommed by Xbox) had Call of Duty, Ubisoft has Assassin's creed and so on. The company is also kind of new in the gaming space. Sure the studios that make (or have made) it up existed for some time, but the umbrella is only a decade or so old. It's also a general annoyance that whenever a company faces tough hardship, they NEVER try to cut the wages of those who got them into the mess in the first place.

Re: Level-5 Submits 'Ghost Craft' Trademark In The US

I REALLY don't want this to be Yo-Kai Watch 5. I'm also not sure if it's a new IP, Level-5 is currently giving the series an anniversary roll-out for it's 10th. My guess its a side-game like how Busters/Blasters was. Still, I wish that Level-5 were more transparent (heh) about their plans for the series

(Look, all I want is either the English version of Yo-kai Watch 4 or a remake/port of 2. Hell, I would actually be happy if they canceled the English version of 4, I'm tired of coping)

@Tyranexx That and timing. Nearly all the momentum of the series hit the wall HARD in 2016. Pokemon's 20th (Which included Gen 7 AND Pokemon Go)

@UltimateOtaku91 This is like, the third or fourth time?

@Otherboard Agreed. This feels much to similar of how they tried to make Yo-kai Watch an international IP but the ball stopped rolling.

Re: Soapbox: This Year, The Game Awards Failed The Industry

It's also baffling how Dave the Diver was nominated despite it having the backing of a multi-million dollar company because it "looked indie". Also, Cocoon was actually NOT the developers' first game, thus giving it "Best Debut Indie Game" cheapened the award.

Disclaimer: Yes, I AM a Pizza Tower fan. I'm actually in the credits under my real name, so I do have some beef with the awards being stolen. I'm annoyed that at the start Geoff highlighted "Tour de Pizza" in the audience as if he KNEW that Pizza Tower wasn't going to win the award.

Re: Level-5 To Share Release Dates For "Several Titles" Later This Month

Level-5 really seems to bite off more than they can chew.

@Anti-Matter They announced an English version of YW4 around 2019, but considering what happened after, I think it's safe to say that it's bunk-mates with an official Mother 3 English release. Also, I doubt a Switch version of 2 or 3 would be made considering how hard the first port bombed in Japan alone.

@Princess_Lilly Didn't they sort of recon her a bit?
