Thanks for including that link to "cosy" games. Now I know.

Is "cozy" a new industry buzzword? I'm seeing it alot lately.

I may not say "Showtime!" out loud, but I certainly do in my head.
Keep the proper punctuation.

Very definitely.

Well deserved praise for this one. Hopefully it's success shows that there is room for March of the Black Queen and Person of Lordly Caliber remakes.

I really like the cleanness of the NA box, and I love the SNES layout as a whole, but the Japanese one just does more justice to the actual game. It does border on being too busy, as was the case for most Japanese cover art.

I didn't realize how many versions of these older games I hadn't tried.

That...that sounds like a chore to play. Complexity is nice, but this? I don't think so.

I'm with @Ryu_Niiyama just having access is enough...mostly. Although, a graphical upgrade is always nice.

I have a library of games going back to the SNES, and sometimes trying to play those older games hurts the eyes. My best, most recent example is Diablo 2. I played a ton of it back in the day, but for the last many years, I couldn't bring myself to suffer the dated graphics. The remaster made it "new" again.

Wow, that's flashy! Did they contract King for those visual effects?

Sentimentaly, SMB2. It was the first game I ever "beat". I took a picture of the ending sleep screen so I could send it in to Nintendo Power back in the day.

Memories!

151 species, eh?

Went to the website, looks like the "both" physical pack will be available for both PS4 and Switch.

A "special set" for the PS4 release? The article isn't clear.

While I am enjoying Wonder, as I close in on the end, I don't think I'm going to have one of those "I need more of this!" feelings.

It's a heck of a lot of fun, but if there was never another one, I wouldn't feel like I missed out on anything.

I'm kinda excited for the train. New lego trains don't come along very often (even if there are eleventy different versions of the Hogwarts express).

For me, the NA version is too cluttered, but the Japanese version is too sparse. The Korean version strikes a decent balance between the two by way of a little extra background color.

Trying to finish up SM Wonder so I can begin Unicorn Overlord.

The internet is always shocked when the things they forsee happening...actually happen.

I really enjoyed the demo. It's obviously targeted towards my elementary-aged granddaughters, but I think I could get lost in it.

My Monarch edition is on the way!
Am excited!

WB execs: "EA is cutting back on Live Service and Licensed games? And sunsetting existing games? Double down!! We'll take their market share!"

Everybody else: "They have no market share, that's why they're getting out."

Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis

I want more Skylanders!

@shgamer
Word is Gearbox is trying to break away too.

Well, sure seems like a good thing. All the best to them.

The loss of the Respawn Star Wars game hurts.

@YoshiTails Yes, yes it really is.

@Krambo42 Indeed!

I'm gonna pick this up off the shop, and I'm gonna pray for a physical release so I can double (triple? I have the OG cd still) dip.

MAYBE, just maybe, DF2 is coming, and they'll release a double cart to match my JO/JA physical!

I am sooo ready for this!

If it doesn't lunch this year, don't expect an announcement either. Announcing a new console for spring will only hurt holiday sales of current equipment (barring a significant price cut) and software.

I want to be able to use parts from Mobile Fighter G Gundam mechs.

So far it's everything I'd hoped for!

I've been waiting for a decent portable Gundam game. Is this it?

Downloading....

I'm fairly excited for this one!

Same as always: Ogre Battle 64, Knight of Lodis, Prince of Zenobia and March of the Black Queen remakes.

Remember when the new President canceled a pipeline and said we could train the welders to be coders?

Maybe we can train all of these out of work coders how to weld...

Seriously, this is getting crazy! The VG entertainment industry apparently isn't sustainable in its current form. Time to go back to small studios full of passionate people with dreams of entertaining rather than making tons of money.

Thanks for this, my hype level intensifies! Pre-ordered the CE as soon as I could. I've said it before: I'm more hyped for this game than any other in memory (not that my memory is long, but many many years at least).

You had me at Hitoshi Sakimoto. I'm a huge fan of his work!

Now I'll read the rest of the article and see if the game looks good.

That's actually some pretty cool swag.

People getting worked up thinking all these jobs are blue-collar coders getting fired. It's mostly gonna be white collar, redundant paper-shifters. Still sucks, sure, but this was known to be necessary as soon as they started saying "merger".

I much prefer vertical scrollers, but this looks lovely. Definite pickup.

I'm a sucker for the old grey-box, pixelated NES boxes. Even if there is too much extraneous stuff on the cover.

I've been a Square fan for decades, and I've always looked forward to their games. I will say that "trimming the fat", especially when it is supposed to help quality, sounds like a good thing.

That is NOT the future I want.

I have all but one game I've ever bought (well except for a few I lost in a break-up a couple of decades ago). Still wish I hadn't traded that one away (FF: Mystic Quest).

"though a report in 2023 indicated that around 95% of NFTs had a market value of zero, rendering them effectively useless."

They were "useless" even when they had "value".

Great games! I would love a new entry.
