@Tempestryke Of which Castlevania meets absolutely no sane qualfiers for, and only nonsense ones like "Konami doesn't own the dev." By that logic Twilight Princess HD is an indie game.
Bestbuy had it listed at $40
I just made that up as an actual nonsense word while the other two are there as a rejected Daily Show joke.
indie is a nonsense word with no meaning. Like schmoidelz, or optimized portfolio, or inalienable human rights. Just nonsense phrases to be thrown around at random by marketing and PR people to distract and confuse the masses
The butchering of the English legal language aside, I am at least interested in Castlevania as it sits in the sweet spot most of my games come from: $40
Here's something my autism picked up on; Sneakybox are once again helping with porting. They and Llamasoft have worked almost exclusively with Atari ever since Wade took over; even before him I think because the RCT mobile game. Jeff Minter loves his independence, and it's just him and his buddy so there's not much too put a ring on with Llamasoft, but I'm sure the boys in St. Louis would love the financial security. They're a sub 20 person team, so they can't be that expensive, but have been indespinsible in Atari's AA revival efforts, especially in regards to RCT; the Pokemon of Atari.
EDIT: I was mixing Sneaky Box up with Graphite Lab when describing them as "The boys from St. Louis" but the point still stands for both of them. I'm surprised Wade picked up that dead fish Thunderful over these two.
@Eririichi well that's simply because the western publishers have been getting away with it for years on the other 2. Nintendo just makes them be honest. Say what you will about Nintendo, but they never lie about what you're buying, and they hild third-parties to that same standard.
We got Capcom, SNK, Namco, and now Konami. Pretty sure there wasat least one Sega one too. That leaves Square-Enix and Koei-Tecmo, and Arc as the next of the Daimo (SNK not really a Daimo again still, but Saudi money is getting them back up there. Slowly)
The Hong Kong part is what throws me off because normally these types are from Macau. If he was I could understand the "Nintendo device" line because most of China has historically not been able to get Nintendo devices... legally. Hong Kong is not part of that section
@Anti-Matter While this is their main fault yes, I'm willing to reserve judgement based on what the upgrade path is for Destroy 1 and Epic Michael; free or $5. And at least Titans will be on Cartridge and a more up to date build (though probably with more issues as it's a PS5 game being shoved into the equivalent of the 3.
Also, Eternal Life of Goldman needs a release date still. Just bringing that up to remind myself
Speaking of that requisit Drakengard cross-over, they gave the 2B skin to the chick with Hank Hill butt.
This should really be THE wake up call for Square-Enix that they need to stop the slow hostile takeover by the Files people, because that is the single most offensive thing I've seen done to Japanese culture since Fat Man and Little Boy
@canaryfarmer Atari is pretty much the only international company Embracer plays nice with outside of when they get sub-contracted through LRG. Atari is growing while Embracer is trying to keep CDE from dragging down what's left of the ship. All that is to say: Aspyr fumbled Deus Ex BAD and Embracer/Fellowship needs all the good PR they can get adter being dragged (unfairly, I will die on this hill) through the mud for so long
Putting aside my hatred of cards (though that $80 3 in 1 combo is the best argument I've seen for them) I have not actually seen those amiibo anywhere in the wild.
