@TrueBlueYoshi Well, Snakes in MGS games are voiced by Akio Ōtsuka since the very first game on PS1. Japanese treats voice acting work and seiyūs (voice actors) better than in other countries.
It's still sad that Atsuko Tanaka, Bayonetta's seiyū (JP voice), has passed away year ago... 😔 @AlienX Because seiyūs aren't treated as one time nonames as in other countries. Seiyūs are more known than Japanese live-action movies actors. Some of them are part-time or full-time singers.
@Ralizah «Hopefully Valve continues holding the line, now that I'm more invested in PC as my primary platform.» GOG is better. They even have unrated patches, and you don't need to make account on MangaGamer nor JAST USA to get them. 🙂
It's annoying as hell! Censorship is evil, and sucks. I have BCRF and BLOOD DRIVE already...
Nintendo of America and Europe are pathetic.
Nintendo of Japan needs to control them, but they just doesn't care about non-Japanese Switch users, it seems.
Thankfully, I can replay my purchased GOG versions of Book of Shadows and 2U now.
@Fiq_Strife Even Switch 1 can handle them. The thing is, single-player games aren't interesting for Rockstar. Rockstar couldn't milk Switch port of GTA IV. As for GTA V – it's too late for Switch 1/2 port, since they have VI in development, and will shift their priorities from GTA V Online to VI Online, after releasing the game.
If you know that the game is difficult, just don't buy and don't play it. I hate roguelikes/roguelites, don't buy them, and don't play them. It's simple, I guess.
@the_beaver «How can you buy SO MANY games» It's not that hard to buy new games, beat them, and move on to the new ones, you know. If you're not some Steam user who buys games on sale and never plays them at all. Or some roguelike/open world game/gachya/online games addict.
@Solid_Python I'm expecting 60FPS in games on newconsole in general.
Also, Nintendo themselves marketed Switch 2 as a more cool and mighty console.
Yet its screen is worse than Switch 1's one, lol.
@SwitchplayerJohn «CoD is coming still.» So where are eShop pages of CoD games? Or some physical pre-orders? As of now, we have nothing. @Friendly Almost every Switch 2 game/version review mentions some performance issues and hiccups. Also, Switch 2 is a new console, yet most of its games are locked at 30FPS, lol. It doesn't sound that much promising.
«Third-Party Support For Switch 2 Is Already A Dream Come True» Haha, nope. Quite a lot of new games, remasters, and remakes didn't get Switch 2 version announcements. Where is promised Call of Duty on Switch? Where is Battlefield? Where are Halo games? Silent Hill f? Silent Hill 2 Remake? Most games are locked at 30FPS and their optimization is questionable. While the other ones were delayed, like Elden Ring and Virtua Fighter V R.E.V.O.. Most games aren't really physical, just game key-cards.
I still find it weird that a Japanese company like Nintendo decided to work with a foreign animation company like Illumination, instead of Studio Ghibli, Tōei Animation, MAPPA, ufotable...
Seriously? One more time, as with BotW? Say whatever you want, but I find it inexcusable that already released DLCs aren't included in the Switch 2 version. It's ridiculous.
«Only enthusiasts buy games physically», various companies and directors says.
They shall look at these sales numbers and try to repeat those words again. 😎
@link12684 It's a 60/70 bucks low effort cash grab. Graphics wise, it's a Nintendo GameCube game. And even then, Nintendo GameCube/Dreamcast/PS2/XBOX Original games featured(!) fully-voiced dialogues. What is GameFreak's excuse, huh? Why Pokémon games are objectively worse than indie games and AA/AAA games? Why it costs 60/70 bucks?!

Re: Random: Timesplitters: Rewind Is An Ultra-Slick Fan-Made Tribute That's Got Us In GameCube FPS Mode
Fans do for free what companies doesn't even for money.
Classic.
Re: Mini Review: Morsels (Switch) - A Punishing, Obscure, But Thoroughly Entertaining Roguelite Dungeon Crawler
Another Nuclear Throne like, huh.
Re: Beyond Good & Evil 2 Job Listing Shows There's Signs Of Life In The Old Hog Yet
After 17 years and without any public demo... It's just a non existent game, lol.
Re: Resident Evil Requiem's Switch 2 Physical Release Includes A Lenticular Edition
Broken building looks cooler, imo.
Also, that Deluxe Edition box art is lame.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - SNES Classic Mini Console
NA SNES looks so ugly, lol. At least NA cartridges are better than PAL/JP ones.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade's File Size On Switch 2 Is Making Us Sweat
Haha, lol.
Switch 2's base memory capacity is 256GB, right? Funny.
Re: Sorry Xillia 2, 'Tales Of Berseria' Is The Next Remaster From Bandai Namco
Lol. They want to remaster all PS3/XBOX 360/Wii Tales of titles, huh?
Re: Resident Evil Requiem Almost Had Mouse Controls, But It "Confused" The Gameplay
So PC version will be controller-only? 😁
Re: Corpse Party Tetralogy Pack Switch Western Release Cancelled
@Ralizah «Hopefully Valve continues holding the line, now that I'm more invested in PC as my primary platform.»
GOG is better. They even have unrated patches, and you don't need to make account on MangaGamer nor JAST USA to get them. 🙂
Re: Corpse Party Tetralogy Pack Switch Western Release Cancelled
@calbeau Yet 1st and 4th games were released just fine before, years ago.
So why they aren't banned and removed, huh?

Re: Pokémon Pokopia Reveals "Peculiar" New Forms In Extended 10-Minute Trailer
Insert comment about game key-cards here.
Re: Random: Steam's Brand New Game Console Sure Looks Awfully Familiar
@Nep-Nep-Freak Yep, even Saya no Uta... 😁
Re: Roguelike 'Wizard Of Legend 2' Magics Up Switch Release Date
@TheWokesterGamer Lol, it's not vague. Roguelike/roguelite is a genre.
Re: Level-5 Shows Off The First 30 Minutes Of Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road
@Dimjimmer Cough-cough
Level-5's Ushiro.
Katana ZERO's DLC.
Beyond Good & Evil 2.
Re: Roguelike 'Wizard Of Legend 2' Magics Up Switch Release Date
Every 2nd indie game is a roguelike/roguelite, while every 3rd indie game is a metroidvania, lol.
Re: Pokémon Pokopia Is Seemingly Nintendo's First Game-Key Card Release
Lol. Since it's a Pokémon game, it will sell million units anyway, sadly.
Re: Reggie Is "Surprised" We Haven't Seen More Xbox Titles On Switch 2
No Halo and no Call of Duty.
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong Update Announced, Here Are The Patch Notes
If you know that the game is difficult, just don't buy and don't play it.
I hate roguelikes/roguelites, don't buy them, and don't play them.
It's simple, I guess.
Re: After Years Of Delays, Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road Finally Has A 'Final' Trailer
Ushiro was announced back in 2018 too, and where it is now? Nowhere. Level-5 forgot that they have announced it...
Re: Opinion: Third-Party Support For Switch 2 Is Already A Dream Come True
@Darthroseman Nintendo is afraid of them, I guess.
They announced Switch 1 port of Genshin years ago, and it's been a vaporware since then.
Re: Opinion: Third-Party Support For Switch 2 Is Already A Dream Come True
@dskatter It is a portable gaming device, tho...
Re: Opinion: Third-Party Support For Switch 2 Is Already A Dream Come True
@jsty3105 Laptops on Windows? Lol.
Re: Opinion: Third-Party Support For Switch 2 Is Already A Dream Come True
@Solid_Python Nope, lol. But it's funny to read every review mentioning either locked 30FPS, performance issues, or both.
Re: Opinion: Third-Party Support For Switch 2 Is Already A Dream Come True
@the_beaver «How can you buy SO MANY games»
It's not that hard to buy new games, beat them, and move on to the new ones, you know.

Re: The Legend Of Zelda Movie Is Now "In Production" In New Zealand
I wonder if Link will have actual personality and spoken lines in the movie, lol.
Re: Review: Double Dragon Revive (Switch) - Nice Ideas, Uneven Execution
Double Dragon Advance remains the best game in the series once again, it seems, lol.
Re: Nintendo Is Preparing For Even More Movies In The Future, Unsurprisingly
I still find it weird that a Japanese company like Nintendo decided to work with a foreign animation company like Illumination, instead of Studio Ghibli, Tōei Animation, MAPPA, ufotable...
Re: Switch 2 Has The Largest Third-Party Software Lineup Ever For New Nintendo Hardware
Some of the games included on the image even aren't released yet, lol. Some of them are cross-platform titles with the Switch 1.
Re: Persona 5 Series Sales Just Won't Slow Down As Games Soar Past 13 Million
@charliecarrot There are manga, light novels, and crossovers too.
Re: Persona 5 Series Sales Just Won't Slow Down As Games Soar Past 13 Million
@IronMan30 Well, take a look at STREET FIGHTER II sub-series. 😁
Re: Persona 5 Series Sales Just Won't Slow Down As Games Soar Past 13 Million
@charliecarrot I mean, P3 and P4 got their own sub-series too...
Re: Ys vs. Trails In The Sky: Alternative Saga Update Enhances Resolution On Switch 2
@EarthboundBenjy It's not a fighting game. It's a 3D brawler.
Re: 10 Years On, Crypt Of The NecroDancer Is Still Digging Up Crossover DLC
I'd like to buy it, since I have Miku Hatsune and Synchrony DLCs already, but due to internet throttling in my country, I can't do this. 😔
Re: PSA: Don't Expect Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition To Include The DLC
Seriously? One more time, as with BotW?
Say whatever you want, but I find it inexcusable that already released DLCs aren't included in the Switch 2 version. It's ridiculous.

Re: Nintendo's Pokémon Catching-Related Patent Has Been Rejected In Japan
Good. Patenting game mechanics is absurd and dumb, anyway.
Re: 3D Fighting Series 'Battle Arena Toshinden' Is Getting Revived For Modern Platforms
I've never played them, but interested to try them out, either on my Switch 1 or PC.
Re: Level-5 Flexes Its Upcoming Titles In New Anniversary Art
And no mention of Ushiro, that was announced years ago...
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Sold 5.8 Million Copies Globally In Its First Week
@UmbreonsPapa People can enjoy something like Postal 3 and FlatOut 3, but it doesn't make them good/any better.
Re: Tales Of Xillia 2 Remastered On The Way, With More To Come
@Wexter It will be a good move for the customers, so, yeah.
Re: Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition Brings The Apocalypse To Switch 2 In 2026
@Indielink Meh. Excuses.
Re: Tales Of Xillia 2 Remastered On The Way, With More To Come
@Wexter @AndrosEGD Excuses, excuses...
There was a physical bundle of Xillia 1 & 2 with Symphonia 2 as well. 3 JRPG games on one disc.
