@JohnnyMind I have to disagree. I'm betting they put the sketches of them on the Blu-Ray/UHD release of the movie.

@Tober Now THAT'S how you do a Cinematic Universe!

@ComfyAko Both for Earthbound AND Earthbound Beginnings.

Come for the memes, stay for the actual great characterization!

Ah yes. The ever reliable "Uncle at Nintendo".

@Shepdawg1 Better look at the calendar.

I do wonder why they didn't call them Frisk. Is Frisk actually the canon name from Toby Fox or is it just a fandom name that has stuck to the character?

@90sRetroGaming And the Super Sonic music. I can live without MJ's tracks, but for the love of Light Gaia, make it so it actually sounds like a Genesis and not a reject of Sonic 4.

@fbnaulin I believe 3 and 5, but also 4? That's a 3DS game.

@steely_pete I don't think SMT does stuff like that, compared to the Persona Series.

@fbnaulin Those rumors being?

@Drmarioland Not really, April 1st is the start of the business year in Japan.

No one else is saying it? Fine.

I SLEEP. I SLEEP.

We... Are quite amused. As I said before, July 11th is going to be the 10th anniversary of the series, so they might be saving a major announcement for then.

@DrDoctor It's quite sad that so any great games have lost their original code to the sands of time so quickly after their first release. You would think that it would be harder for purely digital code to be lost as easy as film or TV, but alas. Having the original code is the exception, not the rule.

I would also like to say that Atlus is a bit on and off about good remasters. Persona 4 Golden and SMT3 are good examples of remasters, but then you have Persona 3 Portable (Which isn't terrible, but couldn't they at least try to fuse Portable and FES together than just re-releasing a handheld port?)

@Bizzyb Also the Sam and Max remasters of the Telltale series. (Though do take the reviews of Save the World with a grain of salt, as some make mountains out of anthills with the developers recasting one character and changing like 8 or 9 jokes.)

@Uncle_Franklin Tell me you don't play Splatoon without saying "I haven't played Splatoon."

@HammerGalladeBro So does Super Mario Advance 4.

@NielsNL Considering how they had three games in the Direct, I figured Nintendo gave them a hand.

@stocko You and me both.

@Friscobay I think it's the number i. As in an imaginary number.

@UltimateOtaku91 I figure that because YW4 includes stuff from Shadowside, which wasn't released in the West, they might of put it on the back burner. That being said, it IS the 10th anniversary of the series in July; maybe something could happen then?

@Serpenterror That was released in the west.

Thanks Musk. /s

@SmileMan64 Closest thing could be the Mario Spaghetti-Os.

@OstianOwl You sir, have VERY good taste.

@Bret You weren't following closely enough. I was a Patron supporter and I was able to get some builds for it

For those who are wondering, it's made in Game Maker Studio, like Undertale, Hotline Miami, etc. So it's quite easy for it to be ported over. That being said, Pizza Tower Guy/McPig/Tour De Pizza, has no current plans for a port for Switch or any other systems outside of Steam.

@EarthboundBenjy I recommend looking up AntonBlast, it's MUCH more in line with Wario Land (Especially 4). While it isn't out yet, it has been confirmed for a Switch release in 2023.

@DimBeau Yes. He's the boss of the third world.

While I can recommend Two Point Hospital on Steam, console versions aren't fully recommended. Sure, it runs good and the console controls are well done; but the problem is that for it being "Jumbo", it's missing 3 of the 7 expansion pack DLCs. There aren't any current plans to bring the DLCs over anytime soon, as they are currently working on the DLCs for Two Point Campus; so do keep this in mind. (That and TPH on Steam allows you to add your own personal music into the game, mixing it in with the radio DJs)

@N00BiSH To be honest, while I don't mind the changes, the do come off a bit flat compared to the stuff they were replacing. Not bad, but it was clear that they didn't have time to refine the jokes.

For example, here's how I would rewrite one of the jokes of episode 1: "This will clear a room faster than the aftermath of Stinky's 47 Bean Burrito Bonanza!"

GINT EGG! GINT EGG!

@the_beaver Why must you be so hurtful when you tell the truth?

Not only is it Level-5's 25th anniversary, but it is also Yokai Watch's 10th on top of that. So could you PLEASE give those outside of Japan at least a little bit of the birthday cake?

@Tott It's more so of Activision's and Blizzard's VAST back catalog of titles that they can put on Game Pass. If the merger goes though, Microsoft can basically double the number of permanently available games on Game Pass in a single day.

Personally, if it was up to me, I would let the merger happen, but force Microsoft to spin-off a number of studios to allow the deal to go though.

It's baffling how a company like Square-Enix flip-flops for good to bad in a single year. I really want to know what parts of the company are going what.

@hippoeater You missed the joke.

I'm laughing at the number on the figure box.

@Kestrel You're pretty much right. Add some anti-trans language to the mix and that's current day Notch.

@calbeau Because it's tangled mess of spaghetti code, it makes Game Freak look efficient. Same reason why Persona 4 Golden was chosen over Vanilla P4.

@betterman According to Frontiers, Eggman was named by Sonic as an insult, but he accepted the name to spite Sonic.

(Though I wonder what the Japanese version says, since he was named Eggman before he met Sonic.)

If you think this is trippy, watch Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. Sometimes he blinks with eyelids, other times he winks with his pupils.

2022 really is The Year of the Hedgehog.

@Axecon I mean, the designer for the two protags ARE known to create V-tubers

@victordamazio It's probably a Japanese thing. Better to ask for permission than forgiveness after all.

@HeadPirate So basically, Nintendo forced SWT to shut down because Nintendo wasn't certain that they could escape legal liability if anything went wrong? Considering the messy legal landscape of the Professional Smash community, I can't really blame them too much for being too careful.

@Thief I think they already have.

@F_Destroyer Ironic how the same design was used for the NES 2, which was RF only.

It's also no surprise he doesn't have a "Duke" Xbox controller. Those were never released in Japan.

@BongoBongo123 Chromebook? It's possible if you have a spare SD card and SD card reader. Look up "BannerBomb"

Wouldn't it be better if instead of buying all of A-B, they split it up into separate companies to only be a majority owner on the main ones?

Still waiting on Yo-Kai Watch 4...

As for why Genshin on the Switch is MIA, I'm going to say that the two main reasons are as followed;

1: Genshin is built on Unity, which while easy to port to many systems, good luck on optimizing it! If the PS4 has trouble running it at times, heaven forbid the Switch would have a good time with it!
2: Sony and/or Tencent is stonewalling the port for as long as possible. Sony has invested heavily into the game, with them helping MiHoYo (HoyoVerse) to make a native port for the PS5 and allowing the developers to put Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn into the game as a free character. Meanwhile, Tencent has massive grudge against MiHoYo for turning down an offer to buy them. With the sucess of Honkai and Genshin, it's possible they are using their influence with Nintendo (Since they partnered to help release the Switch in Mainline China) to keep the game off the platform. (Last one is a bit tinfoiled hat of mine, but I feel like that's what's happening.)

@victordamazio I think it's sort of a nod to Pac-Man World 3, as that ghost comes back to help Pac-Man.

I'm 100% certain that by this time next year, Persona sales will be over double what they are now. Who knew that releasing games on different platforms would actually make you money?

@Seacliff Ehhh... Personally, I think most Sonic games have sold over a million, but unlike Nintendo, Sega usually stops counting.
