@Coolmusic I hope they overhaul Dante's levels in the potential switch version.

Better be a game card and not a key card.

Also DMC Collection 2 when? Hopefully that contains DmC:DE. Yeah the story sucks but the combat seems to have been overhauled.

@Serpenterror Port rot? Apparently every version of the game gets worse and worse because it was so closely tied to the hardware of the dreamcast, unlike a lot of other games.

@JohnnyMind That's something ya gotta get use to with VF. it's as fundamental of a fighter as it gets. That might change with VF6 being done by the RGG studio

@Vyacheslav333 Don't I recall that they've been tweaking and rebalancing that game for every re-release?

Might try it if it has enough meat on its bones.
I'm not too into the "free to start" model. I'd rather have a game that I can F2P

@Woodyshoe They didn't do this with Sonic Crossworlds. Still wanna get that for myself.

New physical release with all old updates printed on the card would be nice. Also if they could fix the balance of the true ending, that would be cool too. Those parry bosses with supersonic were a pain in the arse because of how bad the parry implications were in the game.

@Nep-Nep-Freak Considering I ususally play in Japanese, I'm not too concerned. As long as what is said still strongly matches the japanese script.

Although removing B@stard sword was kinda silly. That's an actual name of a sword

Blue Archive a usual. Trying to beat Yesod on Insane but really struggling with my team composition. It's one of those fights where you need to use 2 teams to make up for the drastic change in focus between the two phases. Though, I do think I have an ace in the works tonight, since I asked a fellow sensei if he could let me borrow one of their students.

Also been playing TriggerHeart Exelia Enhanced as my toilet game (lol). Came in the mail from limited run this month so I've been playing and enjoying how different of a shmup it is. Been trying my best to get a 1CC on each girl's story modes, since that's the only way to get the true ending for each. Playing on easy does help, but I do wish storymode could be played on a Flipgrip... Btw, the designs feel rather similar to a certain group of gamer goddesses I know.... I wonder if Compile Heart took inspiration from Exelica...

Speaking of them, I currently have Neptunia: Sister v Sister coming up. I realize I need an chill RPG to reset my brain, so I after the new announcement of Neptunia Unleashed for Switch 2, I got into the mood to continue the "main" line story, or I guess this is more of a canon side story.

Also been trying to jump back into Stella Sora. Haven't played much at launch, but there's a certain track from the game that just can't leave my brain....

The bright atmosphere that resembles BA certainly helps and the characters do show promise in actually being good instead of shallow puppets that co-opt otaku subculture cough -Genshin- cough cough. I just hope the main story doesn't suffer from the chinese gacha curse of having bad or overconvoluted storytelling that forgets that we're here for the characters... again....

@ottoecamn To put it bluntly, it's basically a prototype Like a Dragon game. first 2 games were a novelty but do show some rust. The 3rd game carried that rust instead of polishing, but this new version is expected to clean up the massive glaring mistakes of the original release
Just don't go in expecting the sidequests Kiryu and co go through. It's a kung fu movie, through and through

does this negatively affect games with touch compatibility? Is it still possible to use the touch screen?

I want Senran Kagura to make a proper come back and finish their heisei story!!!! 😭😭😭

Still surprised that they haven't tried collabing with their own IPs.
Also does this mean that all of the previous collabs are also on the card?

@MirrorFate2 You don't seem to know the full context. SAGAFTRA, his union, partnered with GenAI outlets.

The whole "protection" part is just a scam

If he refuses to work and Capcom wants to remain ethical, then they could just hire a Vtuber or something. Hololive is right there

the demo was definitely interesting. Not quite something I have played before. definitely gets the left and right brain having a tennis match with each other

@Orbphan Too late, already part of it 😭😭😭

Knowing that SAG AFTRA is the one behind this, good riddance I suppose.

the MiHoYo fandom ripped the bandaid off of what actually was happening behind that. Lots of mafia tactic shitte that wants to extract more money rather than protect their workers

One one hand, preventing low quality work on the platform is good.
on the other hand, that might mean they are also gatekeeping long standing devs like Compile Heart from the storefront, which is leading to the censorship...

@Drago201 Oh? What was ruined this time?

@Nep-Nep-Freak Last i saw, it's censored. Nothing pink, mind you, but some brutal scenes were replaced with the western censorship to look less intense

i don't know what is up with devs replacing their cultural originals with bastardized western versions as of late...

@Drake From what i heard, the lingerie in the JP Wii U release was actually licenced designs. Whether it was censorship or not to skip re-licencing them for the western release is entirely up to you.

I suppose this would explain why they didn't make a return in the Switch release, and instead got replaced with other stuff

@SplatRay001 because the japanese don't quite call it that. They call it search action (探索型アクション, Tansaku-Gata Akushon) in japan

The fact that this collection won't include operation shooting star is pretty baffling...

Capcom mocaps are a hidden treasure of the gaming industry. So exaggerated and stylized, that they can become fun to watch on their own.
Helps that their games usually follow suit on that stylism

Been giving Viewtiful Joe a try for the first time and MAN is it fun. The first level is pretty damn hard though. but more managable on level 2.

Pro tip, emphasize the VFX meter booster and the dive kick as soon as you get to the move shop. You'll thank me later

But what if I'm a guy with whose actual name is Dick? Like Dick tracy of something?

"Game key card"....

As long as i get Gravity Rush collection on Switch. Would even be a good match considering the OG was a Vita game

Maybe Soul Sacrafice Delta too

@Sabruka you might wanna get a doctor to look into that.

@NintendoPete The future is now, old man!!!!

it being a "switch 2 edition" makes it slightly more enticing. means I could probably run it on my Switch without having to worry about framerates and upgrades.

I do wish they'd start using HD spites as the norm more than constantly being stuck to pixel art. They did that with Majogami and the game looks really nice

@jsty3105 Uhhh..... yes I do?

Do you understand what I'm asking for?!?!

@jsty3105 even goddamn PS4 and PS5 games have scalable settings.
And again, I mentioned that Switch games of all things that also have adaptable settings.

We're talking businesses trying to sell you normal features here. I don't even know why you're trying to defend something like this.

Free from the cloud, but not free from the digital prison...

@Novuscourvous That was a mobile game though. I'm talking like a real sequel, not what seems like a turn based spinoff

@jsty3105 They are. We aren't in the cell processor days anymore. Nvidia and AMD are what are powering your gaming machines. PC and smartphone components.

There's no excuse to make you pay for tweaking your settings

@Novuscourvous When was NieR 3?

@TheRazor dude, i have Bomb Rush Cyberfunk on my switch one that lets me change the framerate from 30 to 60 at no aditional cost or download.

What you essentially bought was included in every PC game by default. hell, even a system wide feature on Switch 2, considering the Hitman game on the system has performance increases if you lower your console's resolution.
It's even included in Playstation 4 and 5 games... for free!!!

As a consumer, have a god damn backbone to say "no" ffs....

@TheRazor Please fix your formatting. i didn't get this reply

Second, you are the customer. Why the hell do you wanna pay more money for less??? This just seems like a corporate sheep consoomer mentality, and only benefits the investors, not Nintendo, not us.

We have actual indies and AAs updating their games without the strings attached. Why can't the bigger boys have the foresight that this is a bad reputational idea?

NieR Re:Incarnation would be the easiest to release.

of course, I'd hope they are doing something special like re-releasing NieR Replicant or a NieR 3

Also, while they are at it, why don't they also bundle in the stage plays? Aren't those also important to the plot?

"As uncomfortable to use as it ever was"
can't quite speak with the reviewer's experience, but since it's just a hunk of plastic, I suppose there's no risk in drilling some holes and attaching a head strap

@nessisonett Weirder enough that the GBA releases had wireless support, so they very much could have at least had online play. Wasn't that the point of making 2 versions? to encourage kids to socialize?

@Beetoe I support this!

I would love a physical copy of F-Zero GX on Switch, with fullscreen gameshare and online!

At least do both. Some people want to rent them, others wanna buy them. Apps like Clip Studio Paint already offer this and it's meeting everyone's needs

@TheRazor But they already sold you the game. Normally you'd expect optimization updates to be free

@TheRazor I'd argue Nintendo is rich enough to give it to their consumers for free and pay off the software engineers/QA

@CubeMage They changed armor aesthetics from some of the JP Wii U version and got rid of customization features like the bust slider. they also completely altered some post game outfits that were supposed to be just for stupid fun like the bunny outfit, which funny enough was preserved for all female characters in the european Wii U version iirc.

@Folkloner Localization is saying that anything bigger or smaller than a bust size B is offensive to americans, apparently. rest of the world doesn't care? doesn't matter! because only americans matter!!! Bikinis are illegal by law there after all!!! 😤

Aaaand still censored I suppose....

I already have the Wii U version from my more naive days. Unless they decensor it, what makes them think I'll buy it again?

They better not make Amy the "girlboss" type. She's always been the lovey dovey "precure" type

I guess "Entropy Action game" should now replace "rougelike"
