I hope at some point we get the online tournament mode stuff that was in the 3DS version added. It was wonderfully implemented and fun to play with friends/communities. Sad it isn't (from what I've read) in this one.
I think Platinum perhaps bites off more than they can chew in terms of how many projects they have going, but regardless, I believe it was just announced way before it should have been and there isn't much point on speculating beyond that because there's just no way of knowing if they aren't saying.
I certainly hope it resurfaces at some point as a nice surprise.
I buy my retro games to play and I don't have ton of money, so I'm fine with just a cart. For whatever reason when it comes to TG16 stuff I always want at least the case + manual. I don't care too much about the outer cardboard box, though.
It's a really good game despite some of its character designs. I'm also usually turned off by anythign super anime-y, but somehow got through this. I think the world/combat system just really shine through.
I also ended up really like Pyra as a character. It's just her design that is a little "eh, whatever", to me.
I had heard about it and decided to not look because the surprise is still fun to me. I don't really mind it being "spoiled" on such things but don't go out of my way to find leaks.
Yeah. Being a throwback is "fine" if it works, but to me it never looked even remotely appealing in the first place. Have not tried the demo. Almost certainly will not.
Was shocked to see the email as well. Had all but forgotten about this, it has been so long. This is pretty cool. Too bad I no longer have a working Genesis.
This reminded me of that top down sim-ish racer that was show off some months ago that I forget the name of but now want to know if it came and went. Fake Edit: Circuit Superstars. I want that one to come out.

Re: Nintendo Has Released A Day-One Update For Mario Golf: Super Rush
I hope at some point we get the online tournament mode stuff that was in the 3DS version added. It was wonderfully implemented and fun to play with friends/communities. Sad it isn't (from what I've read) in this one.
Re: Talking Point: Why Metroid Dread Will Be Worth $60
Frankly, I've never understood the "a sidescroller so it is immediately not worth full retail price" thought process. It's absurd to me.
However, if you want to have a talk about ALL games being overpriced these days. I can probably get with you there.
Re: Random: What's Happened To Bayonetta 3, Platinum?
I think Platinum perhaps bites off more than they can chew in terms of how many projects they have going, but regardless, I believe it was just announced way before it should have been and there isn't much point on speculating beyond that because there's just no way of knowing if they aren't saying.
I certainly hope it resurfaces at some point as a nice surprise.

Right, but who's going to ebay to buy this at an inflated price when it's still widely available in stores for the time being?
Re: Balan Wonderworld Is Getting A Suspicious Amount Of 10/10 Metacritic User Reviews
Probably the same people who ever thought this game looked good (it didn't) and just want so badly for Yuji Naka to be relevant these days.
Re: Talking Point: Are You A 'Complete-In-Box' Or 'Loose Cart' Retro Gamer?
I buy my retro games to play and I don't have ton of money, so I'm fine with just a cart. For whatever reason when it comes to TG16 stuff I always want at least the case + manual. I don't care too much about the outer cardboard box, though.

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Sells Out In Japan Following Pyra and Mythra's Smash Announcement
It's a really good game despite some of its character designs. I'm also usually turned off by anythign super anime-y, but somehow got through this. I think the world/combat system just really shine through.
I also ended up really like Pyra as a character. It's just her design that is a little "eh, whatever", to me.
