Re: Reaction: Nintendo Pins Hopes On Familiar Fun With Switch 2

I think maybe they ran into a production issue is why the reveal, then 3 months to anything substantial, then probably 2 or 3 more months to release. I think maybe when they said it would be reveled by the end of the quarter, they though they could go retail shortly after. A lot can happen in 9 months.

I like how each leans heavily into the regional art styles of the period. For me, this one comes down to format. The Japanese one is cleaner and bolder due to the use of the space. The American one loses due to the crampedness of the art.

Re: This Castlevania LP Boxset Looks Gorgeous, But It Costs A Pretty Penny

It's pretty cool! I got into vinyl several years ago (it went out when I was a teenager), but I already can't afford to buy new vinyl releases as the prices of even 90's re-releases is sky high. I never got into buying digitally, but vinyl prices are trying to push me there. Guess I'll stick with CDs.

Anyway, as pointed out above, pressing digital music to analog vinyl is silly. Pretty, but silly.

For me, backwards compatibility is most useful for running older games at better quality. Having a Lite means I /could/ keep using it and playing all my old stuff if the new console wasn't backward compatible. Just like I still play my DS.

But the prospect of a few notable games running better on the new system without rebuying is pretty sweet.

Re: 'Sonic X Shadow Generations X Chao' Manga Announced, Here's A First Look

After the last article about them "not being able" to separate the garden for a standalone game, I dug out my Dreamcast to fire up Sonic Adventures 1 and 2. Unfortunately, my Dreamcast has lost the ability to read discs. However. I did find 2 Sonic A1 chaos and 1 Sonic A2 Chao on my VMUs (Along with the Skies of Arcadia ship).

BRING BACK THE GARDEN!
