@MeloMan Yeah, the Capcom test isn't really judging if new games get made anymore, meaning the fate of franchises like Darkstalkers, Okami & Viewtiful Joe returning is a matter of three things: time, patience, and if the higher-ups at Capcom will allow it.
@anoyonmus Yeah, you’re right, order doesn’t matter much, but Famicom Detective Club only has… 3 games as of this reveal? And that’s not counting the Super Famicom remake of Girl Who Stands Behind and the Switch remakes.
@anoyonmus To answer your question about the order you have to play the Famicom Detective Club series, it’s The Girl Who Stands Behind first (as that is the prequel), THEN Missing Heir, then Emio (when it comes out).
@Mallow9623 Yeah, Nintendo doesn’t have a lot of first-party horror stuff. The closest we’ve gotten before this were the Metroid franchise and Luigi’s Mansion.
I feel like the Mega Man fans are going to take this as a sign that Legends 3 is finally going to come back after Inafune dropped the ban hammer on it years ago.
I, on the other hand, like how Sakurai used manga like visuals for Kirby! Reminds me of how overdue we are for a new Kirby anime.
@Samalik Hey, like I said, I have wanted to try the Japanese versions of Sonic games. Heck, I own a Japanese Kirby & The Amazing Mirror cartridge.
But most people who defend the Japanese dub are kind of comparable to people who love the original Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, y’know? They’re practically rabid. I know my reasoning for staying away from the subbed Sonic games isn’t the best, but it’s a whole lot better than saying “I don’t want to learn Japanese.” Looking at you, “when’s EarthBound 3” people.
@Samalik Look, I kinda have a history of getting into dub vs. sub arguments on the internet. Whenever I have the belief that the dub is better (like in this case), some people try to resort to toxic behavior to convince me otherwise, which kinda gives me a bad impression of them.
I’m sorry if I reacted the way I did, and I want to clarify I don’t dislike Japanese dubs — I’ve seen a couple Japan exclusive Transformers shows. But the pure negativity I’ve seen behind some of the sub over dub arguments really makes me not want to try the Japanese version. That was especially the case for me with the Yu-Gi-Oh anime, and the only reason I watched the Japanese version of GX was for Season 4.
@YoshiAngemon To be fair, Nintendo is also fan-friendly. They just have to follow the rules of Japanese copyright & the ESA, even if it may end up polarizing fans.
I’m sorry, Big N. I can understand your controversial business decisions (Japanese Copyright and the ESA do NOT allow your best games to be saved), but I am NOT buying two vouchers for $100 just to pre-order Mario & Luigi: Brothership AND Super Mario Party Jamboree with them.
@Xbox_Dashboard I'm of the mind that neither party is innocent in this circumstance, but Pyoro in particular has it worse compared to Schreier because the latter was just doing his job in this case.
Did Schreier gain nothing and jump to conclusions a little early? Sure. But I've seen Goodfellas enough to know that the golden rules of being in the crime business are never rat on your friends and always keep your mouth shut. And Pyoro did NEITHER OF THOSE THINGS.
@MSaturn I mean, at least Metroid Prime 4: Beyond had justification for its 7 (coming on 8) year development cycle. COVID-19 hit at the worst time, their team was pretty small after the pandemic so they had to start hiring people…
The fact that Retro Studios plowed through anyway despite the dumpster fire of a development cycle is just incredible.
Anyone who voted a 4 or lower without validating why is coping over Silksong, pure & simple.
That being said, this is quite possibly the best Direct I’ve ever seen. Dare I say, not even the E3 2018 direct could top this. Mahvel’s back, Mario & Luigi is back, Metroid Prime 4 isn’t dead, almost everyone got what they wanted… it was an all around beautiful Direct. A perfect 10.
I actually lost my mind when I saw this in the direct, because I theorized Capcom doing this before... AND THEY DID IT.
Alongside Mario & Luigi: Brothership, this was by far my favorite announcement of the direct. Hell, this collection was even approved by TCNick3 of YouTube fame! And he's never even played a single Marvel vs. Capcom game before!
@BoyfriendOfDeath The game isn’t really that glitchy. In fact, it’s one of the least glitchy games in the series, up there with Sonic CD & Knuckles’ Chaotix.
I mean, Nintendo hasn't decided to go and remake Link to the Past yet (considering what happened when people did this with Link's Awakening and Metroid 2). Seems like a good idea.
@Isaix "They never listen to their fans" Gee, I wonder if it’s because the fans DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY WANT SEGA TO DO AND BASICALLY THROW DARTS AT A WALL?
I call shenanigans on Miyamoto's reasoning, mainly because of what Takahashi said, but also because there's also Jessie, James and Meowth from the Pokémon anime, as well as Princess Devilotte and her crewmates from Cyberbots: Full Metal Madness - who, by the way actually got along well with the Doronjo Gang in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. All I see is Miyamoto just wasting a perfect opportunity.
"Tears Of The Kingdom Continues To Prove That 'Open World Zelda' Is A Best-Selling Formula" The title can be misleading, because this point has been proven all the way back when Majora’s Mask followed up Ocarina of Time.
