Whew, that conjured up an old memory of growing up watching my oldest brother conquer Zelda 2 and Mario 3 with that record blasting at full volume, along with Ozzy No More Tears, Metallica Black Album, Def Leppard High N Dry, AC/DC Live and every KISS record.

This is why musicians are killing themselves in droves. We need to go back to dial-up internet.

Looks like a Red Flag to me, yikes!
I worked for an anime/manga distributor for a year. I had never immersed myself in that world before.
We had 22,000 SKUs for DVDs. Only 8,000 of them were non-pornographic.
After a while, it seemed like at the end if the day, most roads in the anime realm led to "cranking down to drawings of sexualized children".
This interview tidbit isn't doing the genre any favors.
I'm still excited for the awesome game gameplay mechanics, but it really is too bad about the character design.

I guess the in-depth character development worked for Three Houses because it made one feel feelings when you eventually had to start killing your former friends.
Might wait to see if the Divine Edition pops up in stores after the scalper 30-day return policy expires. Just like with the loftwing and Metroid Dread amiibos.
Sucks for everyone involved getting the shaft, but if that kind of money was on the line for, say, a battle of the bands competition, we would have more kids putting hours into learning an instrument and the world would be a better place.

Rogue Squadron trilogy, without a doubt!!

Re: Capcom 3DS & Wii U Games Available For Just $2.99 In Final eShop Sale (US)
Boo, no Virtual Console!
8 bucks a pop for Final Fight 2 and 3 is still better than $50 and $300.
Re: Japanese Charts: Metroid Prime Remastered Debuts In Top Ten While Kirby Keeps Dominating
I love how this devolved into Pokémon and Sonic fans debating over whose game sucks the hardest.
Re: Mini Review: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 4 - The Brand-New Track Is An All-Time Great
There's a "speed nuts to get their teeth into" joke in there somewhere, but it's early and I haven't woken up yet.

The early 90s were awesome.
Re: Mortal Kombat 12 Confirmed, Scheduled For 2023 Release
WB and Discovery, eh?
Fingers crossed for Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze and Croc Hunter Steve Irwin DLC fighters.
Re: Feature: 19 Game Boy Games We'd Love To See On Nintendo Switch Online
Wow, I didn't see any mentions of Motocross Maniacs. Its basically Excitebike GB.
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Name Link When You're Playing A Zelda Game?
Every name-able video game avatar gets the name of my dead cat Malice. Cut down by F.A.T.E. at age 7.
Re: Poll: Which Character Would You Like To See Return Next In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?
All hail Fami-ROB!!
Re: Win Stylish Metroid Prime Remastered Jacket In Nintendo Of America Sweepstakes
Its badass, but it looks like a hoodie.
I was expecting a Ribera-style 1980s satin jacket.
Or maybe an embroidered denim affair, but I guess this isn't 1991. Dang!

Great Priest tune
Re: Hands On: Octopath Traveler II Looks Incredible, But Can It Forge Its Own Identity?
Hopefully the Metroid Prime physical releasing a couple days before doesn't take the piss out of this one.
Re: Game Boy And GBA Coming To Switch Online Today
Cool, maybe Minish Cap cartridges won't be $70 anymore.
Re: Surprise! Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Is Getting Its Very Own Link amiibo
Don't cross Strong Pimp Hand Link.
Re: Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider Scores A Physical Switch Release, Pre-Orders Live
Aww, the soundtrack on cassette tape is restricted to the super-expensive EU-only version, boooooo
Re: Splatoon 3 Expansion Pass Inks Its Way Onto Switch From Spring 2023
Dang, my Pleasantville prediction for the Order timeline turned out to be spot on!!
Re: Talking Point: Who Did You Marry In Fire Emblem: Awakening?

I'm a 0%-er! But I really wanted that Conquest skill for whatever reason.

Re: Feature: Video Game Music That Didn't Need To Go That Hard
Kirby Superstar rips pretty hard.
Ys 1&2 intro and Lords of Thunder made the TG16 mini well worth it.
And where's the love for Tecmo Super Bowl??
Re: Best Pixel Art Switch Games
Pocket Rumble is one I haven't heard mentioned yet but had some decent pixel art.
Re: Fire Emblem Engage Concept Art Shared In New Nintendo 'Ask The Developer' Interview
This was also in the interview:

Re: Pokémon Cards Targeted In Series Of Trading Card Store Burglaries In Tokyo
Was it during the day? A sawed-off 12 gauge behind the counter is an effective deterrent.
Re: Feature: The 15 Best Zelda Bosses, Ranked
I guess they never got to the end of Zelda 2..
Re: Feature: Nintendo Life's Alternative Game Awards 2022
@LikelySatan
Had to check the video. You are 100% spot-on. What's up with the edgy-bro stylized version of the ball bouncing over the lyrics?
What passes for "Metal" nowadays is an absolute joke, a computerized mess of white noise.
Can we go back to emulating Judas Priest and Iron Maiden?

Re: Review: Chained Echoes - One Of The Very Best RPGs Of The Year
@VR32X
I will fight Tooth and Nail to prevent that from happening!
Re: Talking Point: What Would You Want To See In A 'Mega Man 12'?
Switch between old audio/visual and new, like R-Type Dimensions and that Wonderboy remake.
Re: Review: Chained Echoes - One Of The Very Best RPGs Of The Year
I like the part where George Lynch breaks out of his chains just in time to rip the guitar solo.
Re: Talking Point: As Zelda: Wind Waker Turns 20, Doesn't Toon Link Deserve A Second Chance?
Wind Waker holds the title for "Most Brutal Depiction of Ganon Being Defeated" so I'll always have a soft spot for it.
Re: Celeste Creator Shares "First-Look" At New Title Earthblade
The guy with the Bill Hicks avatar might recognize the protagonist as Randy Pan the Goat Boy.
Re: Nintendo Unveils Fire Emblem Engage Expansion Pass, Wave 1 DLC Launches 20th January 2023
It doesn't look like there will be a passage of time where all the characters come back more grizzled and pissed off.
Maybe that's why this one hasn't hooked me yet.
Re: Ninja Gaiden Inspired 'Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider' Launches Next Month
@DestructoDisk
I did it myself on MS Paint!
I have stickers made, but I haven't set up an online shop yet.
Thanks for digging it!!
Re: Soapbox: Xenoblade Chronicles X's Influence Is Bigger Than You Think
If they XCX-ified the world of Xenogears, the Cream would hit the Kilt for a lot of people.
Re: Ninja Gaiden Inspired 'Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider' Launches Next Month
Finally, a new game that earns the distinction of being "badass" that isn't a shooter!
It's been too long since Cyber Shadow.

Nicholson: "Now, is that what that is?"
Re: Random: Musician "Restores" Chrono Trigger Soundtrack Using Uncompressed Samples
Great work!
"Musician" is a little vague. Seems like "audio engineer" would be a better descriptor.
I drew out Lode Runner levels on my church bulletin as a kid. I'm a "game designer", guys!
Again, great work.
Re: Sega Wants To Know What Mini Console Fans Would Like To See Next
Game Gear not-so-Micro. I don't wanna spend 100 bucks on just Gunstar Heroes.
A Master System where FM Sound is applied to all the non-FM Sound titles would be cool.
Genesis 3 with CD and 32X. Plus MUSHA and Gaiares.
Re: Konami's Earnings Report Reveals A Substantial Profit Drop In The First Half Of 2022
An MSX-specific collection might be cool.
Give us that Parodius collection already!
Edit: one more thing
Get with WayForward for Contra 4.5.
Tate mode, screen gap filled in, more extras, maybe another level or two. Would be sick!
