In 2020 particularly for an indie dating sim (or open world nameless protagonist fantasy game, thanks Fable), not being able to have gender options and the ability to choose men, women, or both as dating partners should take off a few points from the start. Most actual dating apps have this option it only makes it more realistic.

And spring is still half a year away. And who knows how readily available it will be. And you just know people are going to start to relax and be reckless. Even this articles wording is a bit irresponsible.

@Scirocco7 not even if you paid me.

@Scirocco7 Your dad complains about you when we're on our dates.

@Scirocco7 lmao. Bye girl chill out. 💅

@Dm9982 Oops. Yeah Madhouse. Something to do during winter break. Just wanted to chime in as someone who actually played a lot of RE7 cloud version, it does indeed work very well and the pricing isn't bad, for that game at least. I'm hoping the remakes of 2 and 3 come soon with a similar implementation and pricing model. For people who want the games in physical versions, there's other systems but for someone like me that just wanted to experience the game (and yes, it does work in undocked mode using the home internet or out and about if you have pocket wifi), the cloud version was more than enough.

Honestly other than the cloud versions opening prompt screen it was easy to forget that i was even playing a version that wasn't saved into my console.

@Dm9982 it wasn't a monthly access fee it was 2000 yen (about 19USD) for a six month "rental" of the game. And it was the all DLC version too. My internet isn't even that great (i live in a more rural area of japan) and only one time in the half a year that i was playing it did it disconnect due to the internet connection. Other than that it played real smooth. Might pay again since i want to try the game on nightmare difficulty.

@liljmoore Would you rather this not be a full game? 🧐

I live in japan and played BOTW in Japanese and Robbie in the Japanese version is seriously so incredibly annoying like, i had to skip all of his dialogue.

I'd be willing to try it. Hopefully they fix the stiffness in the animations.

As an aside, this whole "waifu" culture is really interesting to me. I do agree it can be really cringe, but as someone who is gay i'm not gonna act like i wouldn't mind having a Gladiolus from FFVX type character in literally every game.

Just like, can your waifus not all have baby voices though?

The cloud version of RE7 worked very well and ran smoothly. Other cloud versions should be considered.

Where's the version for the gays 😠😠😠

Rex for Smash

@JoakimZ Ninja'd, lmao I was just about to comment that.

Every LEAK is fake is an oxymoron. If its fake then it wasn't a leak, just a prank/false rumor.

The Secrets Of A Great Hole is the name of my autobiography.

A kiki AND a kaikai? Yass hunty i'm feeling my oats i'm gettin into the gig okurrr tongue pop

I wonder why the japanese offerings have been differing lately.

Seriously Nintendo, Astral Chain for Smash

@RupeeClock yeah im not sure on that. Ive been in japan a decade now and seasons are less about calendar dates than in other countries. Im still thinking of Banjo as a before the end of september release.

And yall i really wouldnt pay and mind to that SNK thing im totally on the side of that being a mistake meant to be for SNK Heroines.

There's still no japan release date 😓😓😓 @nintendo ??!?

@Bunkerneath really though, everyones style is different. You're not going to connect with every or even most characters.

Thats why some of these tournament regulars that change their main to whatever is the top of the tiers doesnt work they force themselves to use a character even if that character doesnt match them.

@Seacliff i mean, the english translation of the event is clearly meant as a fun reference to that term, though it'd never be "canon" really since its a non-japanese, era specific (non port/remake Metroid and Castlevnia havent fit that term in a long time), fan made word for a genre more synonymous with western indie games these days.

Everyone got a nice facelift and had their jaggies smoothed out.

They couldnt give the character an actual name by this point?

@thesilverbrick Theres also that Persona 5s game thats coming out.

Wow 2 years old? He now beats Shu Mikami from Siren 2 as the youngest playable character in a horror game.

Wait!!! When did this game get japanese voice acting? The japanese version at least has language options. I don't remember that in the gamecube version.

@Ralizah i know right? The majority of the review is almost the controls. Very broken record. Maybe its different for people that grew up with these kinds of games, this kind of control style is actually really intuitive when you get used to it. A lot of games of that time had them. They just work for these 3rd person view type games. Remember when Silent Hill 4 switched to directional controls? It was so clunky and awkward.

God, the western cover arts for punch out and star soldier are terrible.

@AshFoxX Contra 4 is maybe a stretch but it'd be great if it was incuded. I never played it but i heard it got great reviews.

Im thinking both the Rebirth games are likely.

@nintendobynature thats... the implication.

@Itsacardgame so they're two versions of the same game?

Whats Super C? Im looking at the Contra wikipedia page and it doesnt show it. This collection has both a Super Castlevania and a Super C?

@pigwarts5ever its weird that it says "first Konami Castlevania collection", implying there might be another. Possibly one that covers Metroidvania titles.

Seriously, what do we think those other 4 Castlevania titles are? Im hoping at least one of the GBA/DS games make it in. Id love a collection of all those titles as that was my favorite era of Castlevania.

Im thinking Bloodlines is in for sure. They wouldnt put Rondo or symphony in though right? Since those were already in their own exclusive to Playstation collection?

Funky can't have a partner? Whats going on in the top screenshot?

Hello Kitty Kruisers day one purchase game of the year fight me if you don't agree.

So looking forward to day two and three, what is everyone hoping/predicting they have yet to announce?

When and how did they reveal the Mario ＆ Luigi remake? It was after the Treehouse so i was already in bed by that time.

@Jayronauron yeah particularly with the whole "competitive tournament" gaming focus with Splatoon, ARMS, and Pokken. Theyre very well aware of how big the competitive Smash scene is. Plus a decent Smash 4 Deluxe with solid online and bonus content would just make them all the ¥£$€.

I do think a Mario Party or similar casual multiplayer game reveal is the most likely though.

@peeks Best-buy also had a Smash placeholder. Sometimes its nothing. Sometimes...

@jubiliferival HA! I knew something was up i completely missed that. I was so confused when they didnt mention it.

... i need a vacation. Zzz

Okay, it was 2am where i live and i was dead tired, but did anyone else se a booth showcasing a Donkey Kong game during the Treehouse broadcast?

Also, is it worth watching day two and three of the Treehouse? Will there be other surprise reveals?

Omg Lucina's voice for the spring variant in the japanese version sounds so weird i can't get it out of my head.

New Pork City IS the perfect stage for 8-player smash.

If true, Lucas' chances of being in future Smash games just went up a bunch!

@JTMnM i've heard quite a few SE rumours on Switch as well, including some that would really justify the whole Cloud in Smash thing more than just history and reputation of the character.

I can see Korea or Taiwan maybe getting a localized version of this since theyre also countries with a nationally interconnected, well maintained rail/subway system unlike Northern America or Australia, but both those countries don't get nearly as much support for localizations.

@LemonSlice even if you imported a card, the game uses your commute history for the game. Since you're not riding Japan Rail the card would have no information on it and you would have no way to progress.
