Shame the little arrow machine is absent but not gonna stop me picking this up. I LOVED the bust a move games on the original playstation and not been able to play for years.
Please bring the franchise back Capcom. The GBA ports with their quality of life features were fantastic helping get me into "proper" RPGs and though I was never able to try the original Playstation pair I did manage to get my hands on Dragon Quarter. The soundtrack always makes a killing and I'm forever sad I was never able to afford it though I did manage to get the artbook on launch.
Still annoyed how few sales (And often region specific) there were at the end. With the exception of the Boxboy series and GBC Puzzle League refused to grab anything without a discount, that also meant no Radiant Historia which had a low print run in europe that I really wanted both times but alas. Still funny how Culdcept's sale price went UP for the final sale tho.
@Midge And this is how I discovered there's DLC. Thanks for mentioning it! I might not have long but any heads up before the deadline is a massive help. Double checking that made me realise the Shin Megami Tensei games were hiding a few things too.
@Bearzilla823 Credit on the Switch account or in my case doing it through the website. The AA DLC is a bit more of a hoop jump since it has to go through the games it's self.
As somebody who often swaps out outfits in games to be less fanservicey this is an option I'd def use from time to time, having the ability to without being forced either way is fantastic.
@HammerKirby I personally don't want to fork out £40+ for a digital version when I already have a physical preference and being able to play them as they originally were was a plus for me rebuying the games again. Unless you're willing to buy the thing for me think I'd rather wait
I originally played them completely separately particularly S&K! Apart from some sound effects getting replaced (I believe something else was changed as well but I forget what it was top of my head) it'd just be nice to have the option to play it as the weird bit of history they are and wouldn't take anything away from the complete package. Bit of a more cakes situation and personal preference
It's def one for the fans only (Mean I will get it when it's on a budget I want my boys back and to muck about on Go Go Sushi) but yeah it's very bare bones game with clear love for the franchise it's self but not the quality it should have been sadly.
The artwork incidentally is based/if not directly using the original concept art for the series so they are in fact very accurate, said art was often reused as contact screens too.
Glad they're getting it sorted out, it's one of those incredibly damaging misconceptions that people keep spouting off without realising they're doing it because it's constantly reinforced even though it's wrong. Pointing something out and asking devs to do better is hardly torch and pitchfork fare.
@HypnoVike This is honestly what I want to know: If I enjoyed the second game (Which I adored) is it worth while buying the third or has not enough been added to justify?
@brandonbwii Personally I do recommend it. From the humble beginnings with Jim and Toby being thrown into this world and trying to navigate everything while still trying to be ordinary teens, morally grey characters, good mix of humour and drama plus the horror (Del Toro influences that really come to town later) and particularly with the latter of Season 2/3, that awful realisation that nobody is safe.
The Season 1 trailer gives you a good idea what the first half of Season 1 is like.
I certainly had choice words about Merlin opening (Those who have seen Season 3 will know exactly why) but I'm very intrigued! Angor was in one of the screenshots too which makes me very interested. Really hoping we get some changelings too, need more Strickler and Nomura snark in my life.
@KitsuneNight You can flip between the original illustrations and the photo mode that was added for this version. Why they've only shown screenshots of the photo mode and not the original I've no idea.
As for the review, I'm honestly struggling to take it seriously as it just felt like a mocking vent? It's fine not enjoying a visual novel but I'd rather know about the game over reading what you'd snark to your mates about.
All nice and good until you get blacklisted from the industry for whistleblowing. Employees former and current are terrified to come forward throughout the video games industry because it is absolutely rife with doing this and lack of protection for them coming forward if they're not anonymous.
Many companies know they're in the wrong and is why they NDA their workers to ensure they keep their mouths shut along with the blacklist threat. Getting the word out via the media is the only chance these workers have on having blatant toxicity having the spotlight on it for the world to see, the industry would rather play the denial card until it burns much like Telltale and the current lootbox gambling finally getting a big hitting report released yesterday here in the UK.
As much as I dislike Kotaku, Jason is doing what should be expected of proper investigative journalism and bringing the garbage out for all to see.
@Manah If you go through the checkout it does shows international which is where I went first, $54.60 at the cheapest to the UK which is an understandable No. I guess that's one way to make sure it'll be US sales only.
I'm so happy to see this! The game deserves much better sales than it's had because of being one that works better with actual experience than trailers. Def one I'll be picking up to help support them.
It's handmade and custom and as such higher prices should be expected particularly if the quality is up there which it does look. Setting up patterns, getting the materials and the experience to make does not come cheap.
Prices will likely even out more as more peeps produce their own versions, the fastest (That can also back it up) usually get to set the bar.

Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles aren't separate? Blech that was a big deal breaker for me. I'll wait for a physical should it show and cheap at that.
