Re: New SteamWorld Game Sales Fell "Slightly Short" Of Thunderful's Expectations

Zadaris

Bought all the SteamWorld games Day 1 except for this; it's not a genre I'm very fond of.

I just hope that Thundeful doesn't take this as a sign of dislike towards the 'SteamWorld' franchise. You cannot make games that do persistent genre hops and then have reservations that a few particular genres don't do as well fiscally.

Were there a SteamWorld Football Manager I wouldn't play that either.

Re: Sega Plans To Revive Even "More" Legacy Franchises

Harkens back to the time when I'd trade my SNES for my friends Megadrive for a week or two and play each others games; this is how Shinobi and Golden Axe became staples of my youth, so it is a great thrill to potentially have more.

But Crazy Taxi is definitely tempting as well.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Still Making Them, So What amiibo Do You Still Want To See?

Amiibo always felt like a missed opportunity to me.

Unlike 3rd party toy-to-life models, where the released figures are tied to one singular franchise, Amiibo belongs to a platform holder. As that platform holder Nintendo had the capacity to release these figures and have them react, at least to all their own IP, in some sort of way, rather than only being used on a per-franchise basis.

But that's sadly what they did.
It was interesting prospect that if you bought a Mario Amiibo that it's functionality would apply across not only Mario games but also other games with varied functions and all for just the price of that singular figure. But instead we got new Amiibo for every barely thing that was done in whatever game they featured in.

People should've had the option to buy a single figure and have it work across 20 games, not the other way around.
