I hope this includes shared games in RPG Maker MV, whenever Nippon Ichi finally gives us a release date on that.

I wonder if there are any game developers out there who just say, "... MAN, I hope Nintendo never approaches us about being in Smash. That just would not work at all."

And before you mention Square Enix, Nomura himself was elated to give permission for Cloud; the music rights are another issue, and who knows what went on with the (lack of) Spirits.

The truly important thing is when they add themes and/or folders.

@XiaoShao The Game Gear one alternated between "run to the right" and Prince of Persia-esque levels with some carpet segments; it was pretty different from the Genesis and SNES ones.

For all of you people who said Doug characters couldn't be used, the pic has since been expanded. And look at that, there's Roger Klotz. https://twitter.com/NickAnimation/status/1177598886275375105?s=20

As bad as these are, they're light years ahead of the Master System's streak of "random doodle on junior high graph paper" motif Sega had going.

Looks like 90 Seconds but with greater control of how you explore the area around you. Nifty!

Surprised they didn't do the same for Astral Chain.

Oh, Nintendo, hook up with Arika to make a new Endless Ocean already...

@Tempestryke It's likely a nickname derived from the Japanese form of the word "cupid". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpsvu7d4qWQ

If anyone wants to see a pretty awesome animatic Knox Robbins made for a Captain N reboot, check this out — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiJa-H1Xyg4

Oh, it's not the Director's Cut? Well that's a pity.

@Sakura7 Bless you for mentioning the Otogi duo. It kills me that Sega and FromSoftware are just abandoning those on the Xbox.

Looooved the Klonoa games; he would be my ideal next Namco rep in Smash.

Since there's no chance of Beyond Good & Evil 2 coming to Switch, they should do us a solid and port the HD first one to it.

Ahhhh, yes, In the Hunt~

That was one rough demo; Konami is certainly brave to release the game in the state it's in, but that won't do them any favors with the gaming public. It really should have been scrapped and reworked early in development. We'd like a new Contra, certainly, but one that doesn't feel like a parody version of the 3D PlayStation entries.

@FullMetalWesker Nintendo owns it completely; SK made it for them, and they've been habitually renewing the trademark for years. Alex is a Spirit in Smash Ultimate for a reason.

And yes, Skies of Arcadia is fantastic.

Can't wait to get Planescape: Torment. <3

@roboshort They weren't announced for here, no. https://gematsu.com/2019/09/famicom-tantei-club-i-and-ii-remakes-announced-for-switch

Devil May Cry 2 down there like a dirty little secret.

@Hinaru77 TMS's sales numbers are about even with Wonderful 101's globally, so that's not a good comparison to make.

They're rereleasing one of the biggest financial bombs in video game history. They have literally no excuse not to rerelease Eternal Darkness now.

@BanjoPickles I just want to say that you're pretty amazing for even contemplating, let alone bringing up Willy Beamish among broadly-recognized classic games.

When "music isn't unlistenable" is one of your positive points... Man, that's scratching the bottom of the barrel. XD

A new Lost in Blue would be nice. Or, heaven forbid, Rocket Knight Adventures.

@Euler They made Xenoblade 2's Rex a Mii costume because he "missed the boat" of having design documents drawn up and approved. They can't just start drawing up new ones later after the game goes gold.

@8bitSquid Too new. The roster, DLC included, was decided back in 2015, which means Incineroar will be the newest character we see due to Pokemon Company giving advanced info to Sora Ltd. If they actually do a second Fighter's Pass, then you might see Astral Chain content.

@Tulio517 The file size on its own isn't proof of anything; it's just a tiny unlock key, since the character would be included in a game patch to allow you to face them online, but you'd have to pay to use them yourself. But yeah, the potential for an error exists overall.

Man, such a travesty that the GameCube only received one installment in the Legacy of Kain franchise, and it had to be Blood Omen 2. >.< Like... man, not even Defiance.

Best news of the week for me!

This really should have just been an NES Switch Online offering with how basic it is.

Good on them for taking the time to optimize the game for the platform. Supporting multiple languages is also very nice.

@duffmmann Nick still has the rights to Doug's pre-Disney episodes; they even have them up for sale on YouTube in season sets, and clips of it on the NickRewind account.

Nice use of Norbert as Sonic, though Daggett might have been more fitting. And Doug might've been a better fit for Ness.

The symphonic soundtrack for the game is so good, it's a wonder that they even have the option to use synthesized music in the game (thankfully not available in the demo).

They really should have been consistent with the choice of sprites. Either all 8-bit (NES and Master System) or all 16-bit (SNES and Genesis). I'd say I guess they didn't want to have to create new sprites, but they have to regardless unless the characters shown are the ONLY ones playable in this mode.

Dang, Shiva looking RIPPED there.

And if only Shining was one of their "shining" IP revivals, @SpicyBurrito16.

Grandia HD Collection not worth mentioning this time?

Dang, that is some nice texture work on that fish.

Squenix published ActRaiser on the Wii Virtual Console. Let them put up the other Quintet-made games — SoulBlazer, Illusion of Gaia and ESPECIALLY Terranigma.

Watch as they try and revive Radical Rex.

Honestly, the only franchise of theirs that I would be even remotely interested in is Vigilante 8, and Twisted Metal PS3's failure probably scared them away from that franchise.

Well, I -was- gonna go on a buying spree for most of these, but I may as well wait for these collections now!

Wow... They're involving Cooking Mama... with cryptocurrency? O_o I... can't say I ever would have seen that coming.

@Mycroft Clear as a crisp spring morning, right, Zach?

Wonder which version of The Immortal it is... NES? Genesis?

And if Nightshade is the NES game with the snarky private eye wannabe... Man, what a bizarre choice. XD And totally the wrong platform for that kind of game. Konami (I'm assuming they're the copyright holders, since it was published by Ultra) should really think of finding someone to remake it. Telltale Games would've been a great choice for a new Nightshade, but, well... Real life happened to them.

You know what was a fairly unique sixth-gen platformer? Kya: Dark Lineage on PS2. The devs, Eden Games, still make games, doing the Gears.Club series now; maybe they could think of revisiting it, assuming it's not tangled up in the kerfuffle that is publisher Atari's odd history of name changes and buyouts.

Looking forward to Columns II and hopefully some kind of announcement regarding Saturn games joining the AGES line. Hope beyond hope that Panzer Dragoon Saga or Burning Rangers make the leap.

Typically if fighting game enthusiasts want a near-perfectly-balanced experience, they play Virtua Fighter, anyway.

Man, having VF5: Final Showdown on the Switch would be kinda sick.
