If you like shmups at all, get Mecha Ritz. It's fantastic

If you didn't pick up Cotton Rock n' Roll on its JPN release, consider Cotton Fantasy! It's super fun, and having all of the different character playstyles makes it infinitely replayable. The series' signature cute-humor is still present and just as charming. If you're coming from Cotton Reboot, you'll be happy to hear that you can actually see the screen now, as gigantic score numbers no longer cover EVERYTHING. (Cotton Reboot is still awesome though)

ActRaiser Renaissance is a lot better than most first impressions believed. I had a fantastic time with that game, yes even the Tower Defense segments.

I can't say this enough: Buy 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim.

I had backed the Kickstarter back in the day, and the developer was super genuine and hard working, committed to releasing the project even when they hit some road bumps. Glad to see this get a console release!

This patch was released on the 27th Anniversary of the game's initial release. With Chrono Cross Remastered on the way, it seems like a way to keep fans engaged with the series. I've tested it out, the 21:9 mode isn't bad, but you lose some Vertical resolution to offset the extra Horizontal resolution. I would call it a very playable release of the game, better than a lot of Square Enix's previous mobile->PC ports prior to the FF Pixel Remasters.

@JasmineDragon There's absolutely no shortage of modes for Resurrection, you're bound to find one that you love to play.

FOR THE LOVE OF THE MASTER, TURN OFF THE ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS. You'll get a decent frame rate then.

I'm liking it so far!

Karl Jobst: -Lays out his accusations and arguments very plainly and simply, listing receipts and details which are open to the public and back up his statements-

WATA: "No lol"

Support Razion EX! Fans fought HARD to get a digital release for it!

That's not having No Weapon. That's Layered Armor for the Sword and Shield, or a special SnS that looks like Akuma's bare hands

Considering the amount of JAVA-based flip-phone games lost to the ether, it's cool to see these types of games get preserved like this. It doesn't look bad for what it is, either! I might give it a look.

Raiden IV is a really really good game. Raiden V is nowhere near as good, I'm glad we finally get the GOAT

On the Japanese eShop, M2 just put out the Aleste Collection for the ShotTriggers line. Very highly recommended. GG Aleste 3 is incredible.

@BJQ1972 I'm actually not sure

Quick note if you're a modder looking to change the Lever: "Ultra-Moddable" this stick is not. Regular Moddable? Yes! But you'll need minor soldering skills. Also: the website lists that it's compatible with all types of Levers, like Sanwa (which is true!), Seimitsu, Happ, IL, etc. Other than Sanwa, the body for this stick is TOO SHALLOW, and at BEST the bottom of the lever will scratch the bottom plastic. So, while TECHNICALLY you can mount the sticks to their plate, it ain't gonna fit.

Other than that, I really like this stick a lot. There's a lot of great features. But, if you're particular about your lever, maybe do some hard research.

Rivals of Aether is dope. Best Smash Bros that isn't Smash Bros.
Also, of interest on Steam: Ginga Force. If you're a weeb and like spaceship shooters, That game is right up your alley.

I backed it for a Digital Copy and am perfectly happy. I've seen many KS projects go south when it comes to physical items, and Platinum is a great game development studio but no publisher. Taking all that into account, I knew a code wouldn't be terribly risky

@RazumikhinPG Well, it's a matter of needing to fulfill a contract with retailers by a specific date. It genuinely sucks that it has to be the case, but I know that if you backed for a Physical copy that they're giving you a Steam code because of the delay

So, after the Blank codes went out, they issued the regular codes within an hour or so. This really is a non-story because they fixed it nearly immediately. As for the physical release getting pushed back, that's really unsurprising due to COVID.

@superweird The first thing I did after trying the game was to tweet at them about that

@razer There are a bunch of factors you're not considering. So, from the top. Game size. Yes, this was a PS2 game. That ran at 480i. Every texture, effect and model needs to be upscaled to 1080p. This makes files a lot bigger.
Yes, Digital-only stinks, but that has the added benefit of letting someone only get DMC 1 and 3, letting them ignore 2 ever existed. I also advocate for Digital games the majority of the time (there are cases, such as de-listing, that I'm aware of and oppose).
As to Who Cares. A LOT OF PEOPLE. They're a niche, yes, but a sizable and vocal niche who REALLY appreciate having official Style/Weapon Switching support. This is an incredible update to a Classic of the genre.

You seem very focused on sales numbers alone, when total sales is a really bad number to focus on. That's why it took so long to get DMC5, because Capcom expected 4 to do Call of Duty numbers back in the day. It sold great! Fantastic even, best of any DMC at that point. But CoD numbers? No. They made profit and still called it a failure when it wasn't.

Now, Monster Hunter 4. It sold so we'll because MonHun was Nintendo/3DS exclusive at that point. And everyone in Japan had a 3DS for this reason. Western sales don't matter here, because that game wasn't released over seas. 4 Ultimate was, and that has its own sales figures. It sold about as much, a little more, and was released in most regions. The whole world bought the update as much as Japan ALONE bought the first.

Ultra Street Fighter 2 was considered a HUGE success and it ain't on that list. So consider what Capcom considers to be a success these days, and be happy they're making such good content for the Switch Platform. I think they're performing admirably. With Monster Hunter World selling so well, they can focus on making more niche projects for Switch and other systems, like DMC3 with the update and MMZero Collection.
That's my 2 cents

If you want to see the Save Data corruption that was fixed, go to YouTube and look up T posing Dante. It's hilarious. It was also scary to think it could happen to your game. Apparently it was due to Memory Leak, but it seems like it got plugged easily enough

@YANDMAN Dope

ESPRaDe Psi is on the JPN eShop for any shmup fans out there. Very solid work by M2 under the M2 ShotTriggers line

Been playing King of Cards, it's absolutely fantastic so far.

Very excited for Jamestown+ to unlock! Big fan of the game, a very accessible Shmup that encourages player growth and mastery with a very steady and manageable difficulty curve. And the 4 player coop works very well, to boot.

Not sure about the Switch version, but previous versions had a very extensive Options menu that allowed you to change quite a few things, including game mechanics. This let you change up the game to make it mimic Puyo Puyo or other Puzzle games down to very granular detail. Makes it a very good value buy

This along with the new characters in development are huge for FS. Game's incredible.

It's a shame, it's a really fun game. The gameplay loop is satisfying and exploring was fun. I beat the game and did the Crimson Moon expansion, and it's well worth the time.

As someone who has been playing this for the past 3 years on PC, I can whole-heartedly recommend Fantasy Strike. It is everything it promises to be and more. It is how I've gotten my friends into fighting games. $30 is a great price for a game that's had so much love, dedication, testing and community effort put into it.

YOU CANT ESCAPE YOU HAVE NO GUN!!!

YOUR ARE CUTE

DIE IN HELL! !

Gunlord is the best

@BulbasaurusRex I don't want that port of Gunstar to be only on 3DS, it's got really good features. It would be awesome if it was on other platforms with those additions.

Still no Gunstar Heroes. This is a sad day. Fantasy Zone, Wonder Boy and Herzog are all good gets though

Well, that's certainly a Slinger from World and she has one of the standard Dual Blade sets. So yeah.

It'll be trash, but at least it won't be completely unrelated trash

Any reason the HAMSTER releases have been a week off? Strikers 1945 Plus came out a week ago

Gunlord

Both very solid titles, if you don't have them already then the bundle should be on your list!

neat

I picked up one of these, and the quality really is fantastic. Paired with the Game Boy Interface, it's the best way of playing any Games Boy games on a modern TV. If you're interested, check out the My Life in Gaming episodes about GameCube and Game Boy to see if you'd like to make the purchase, which is what I did.

As someone who's been playing this since SUPER early Alpha, as opposed to it's current Early Alpha state, Fantasy Strike is incredible. It turns non-fighting game players into fighting game players. As soon as the Switch was even announced, the development Discord blew up with people wanting it for the system, especially considering it already supports Unity.

This is a huge win for everyone.

I can't find where to get these tracks. I have a US account. EU only?

Like many others, mine is still "Processing."

I'm 95% getting this for Star Fox 2, so if mine gets cancelled and they're as difficult to come across as predicted, I hope some noble soul rips that ROM lickety-split.

I think this truly solidifies the "For Funsies" attitude this game has. Basically, if you want to run a serious tournament, you have to ban Every New Character: Evil Ryu, Violent Ken, Akuma and now Shin Akuma are all absolutely busted. But they're great to mess around with for sure.

Glad I picked one of these up! They're surprisingly really comfortable. Also got a lot of use from hooking it up to my PC, but seeing it able to be used for its intended purpose on a new platform is fantastic news.

It seems kinda cheap to be talking about the Stick now since there's no information about its release whatsoever. That being said, when it does get released, I'll pick it up. It will be massively more comfortable to play Puyo Puyo Tetris with, along with all of the Neo Geo games and SF2.

I'm waiting for Cave Story at this point, which I know will be much less expensive and yet FAR more enjoyable, and that's saying something considering Final Fantasy IV is my favorite FF game. But Cave Story looks too damn good.

@ReZon: They basically are required. Think of it like .hack if you've ever played those games. Yeah, they were released in chapters, but it was all 1 game. If you don't get everything, you don't get a full game.

The game came out in 12 chapters for Mobile phone release, about a month apart. I'm guessing the same release schedule will follow here as well, just with 9 chapters, meaning that there will be more content per chapter for WiiWare...but still. $32 is too much for a game like that. I was looking forward to the whole game on day 1, considering how long they were working on it, for around 2000 Wii Points, but alas, my hopes were too high.

Edit: Alright, I have to clarify myself here. What they basically did was take the game from mobile phones and stuck it in Widescreen for the Wii. They could have released it all on Day 1, considering someone already said the first additional chapter is already out. It doesn't sound like they added any new content to the mix either, which is disappointing. $32 for a full RPG isn't too much, but considering we have the likes of Breath of Fire II on VC for $8...I just think SquEnix dropped the ball a bit here.

Ugh, Lame. I thought I might get it, but that price is fairly steep. $32 total? Forget it.
