Fun fact: right after this conference, the co-founder of LRG put out a post urging everyone to PLEASE buy AA games from literally any other small run publisher. He did it polite corporate speak, but you can TELL his and Josh's divorce was not pretty

@AgentGuapo Wait... are you saying... Nintendo made a paid update for their number 2 grossing IP... and DIDN'T overcharge for it?!

Well there's the January game, but why only Tears and 3 villagers? Why not bring over the rest of the crossover characters from Welcome Amiibo?

Why not bring over Puzzle League? Where's the Panel de Pon mode, EPD5?

ka-chink

Where is it?

I just want translated CD liner notes, dog.

I don't believe you

"Everything has been delayed another 6 months. Including Fantasy Life."

No thanks. You can keep it

I'm going to give Sakurai the benefit of the doubt and assume it's just a glorified pirate check to turn on the online: which I'll never use anyway

I came here to say "L+ratio+no maidens" to the RPG director that's never played a Xeno

@notreallyhere There was a Gen 8 version? Huh...

I mean it's the Saudi Royal Family presents EA. The real surprise is that it took this long for things to get even worse.

I like that Wade continues to be one of the three publishers to go out of his way to "yes, we sprung for a real cartridge," but honestly I'm actually more impressed that Nightdive was able to shove a PS5 game onto the Overclocked Vita that is the Model One. It'll probably look worse than Goat Simulator 3 did, but it will run consistently. Unlike Goat Simulator 3

I like the train

SYNERGY!

To bad Bloom is GoogleSaudi spyware.

I wish we got these. I know English people that don't live in London hate going there, but you have to admit it's quicker to get there from, say Liverpool, than it is to get to New York of San Francisco from Tampa

I like that they call it "Direct 2" because somehow BOTH of them are nearly feature length

It would be cosmically hilarious if known shovelware distributor with multiple bankruptcies in its past Maximum, ends up being one of the 4 western publishers on Super Switch to not actively hate their customers.

EDIT: NEVERMIND, Wario64 says it's a Key-Card. Business as usual.

Finally. Something to complete the trilogy

The Duke Nukem of soccer

@Fighting_Game_Loser That's the first I've heard of an Exodus from Mane6 prior to this Infogrames at home situation. I assumed they just took the My Little Pony team, and told them to work on Avatar instead. And then somehow Diesel happened. Maximum/Modus always listed them as being the same studio. I am very confused

I'm more concerned if they keep their word and put the game out on an actual cartridge

@progx That Sonic is getting a full cart with (some) of the Free Update characters included on it is also a cope I've been clinging too, as it's the first time we've actually seen a third-party course correct. I don't even own a Super Switch, but I am willing to pay $70 for a Sonic game if it means giving the accounting departments of the world more reason to not cheap out

HOW IS ARC STILL WORKING ON THIS GAME?! Guilty Gear and Granblue are still getting DLC, and now they got TOKON on their plate. How is ONE division of this company working on FOUR GAMES AT ONCE?!

Do you think this (and the combo reprint of 7 Part 4 and 5 on PS5) are some kind of test/response to all the mud that's been slu g at third parties over the Key-Card situation? Cause that'sy cope.

The producer in charge of FF7 Parts 4-6 is one of the most vocal, pro-physical suits in the industry, if not the only one at his level, and even though his game is THE ONLY ONE with a valid reason to be on Key-Card he was still apologetic about it. Probably why the fame is discount priced on Switch and comes with Magic cards that will probably be worth more than the cost of the fame itself one day.
It's literally him, Mike from Digital Eclipse, the CEO of Marvelous USA/Xseed, PM Studios, and Josh Fairhurst who have spoken out against Key-cards, and frankly I think FF7 producer is the only one that can really make a difference.

I'm the Atari sycophant, but they are a sub 100 head count company. They are NOT changing hearts and minds. Same with Xseed; Marvelous, who are HARD team Key-Card domestically could overwrite him at any time. PM Studios has to FIGHT to keep the lights on, and Josh is a bigger liar than a (insert political joke here) so you can't trust him for D*** all.

I'd be perfectly fine with random shorts just popping up in Nintendo Today. Finally give them an excuse to make WarioWare cartoons.

I would commit several war crimes for series of shorts of Nopon doing Nopon things while Xeno fights just happen around them. Like a Ponspector digging up something shiny while the opening of 3 is going on

I just confirmed: EVERYONE got Bubsy: cause it's one of the few Western games of that generation to get a Japanese localization.

Oh no Wade. You've taken the joke to far, Wade!

YOU NEED TO STOP, WADE! YOU NEED TO STOP NOW!!!!

Oh hey, we finally get Mario Bucket Game. Nice

Still very very confused

@NatiaAdamo Oh. Yeah that makes the most sense then.

No, they straight up play the Pikmin March from 4 at several points, and the Main Theme plays at the end. This is a Pikmin teaser. The real question is: who made it? Nintendo Pictures, the guys what make the Smash trailers, or maybe even Illumination themselves?

@topsekret It's what he name drops in interviews all the time when asked "why Atari?"

@topsekret Well it's a good thing Wade Rosen's Atari the Nineth is one of the few publishers to reject Key-Cards out right, AND that he's a massive NIS fan, with a "buy six studios and two publishers at once cause the companies about to go under otherwise" sized pocket book

Unfortunately, it sold like dogwater because NIS fans are even more personally insulted by key-cards than most.

If there's no Pilaf or Tao Pi Pi than what is EVEN THE POINT?!

Wait, I thought Disney, Warner, and Comcast were all using their evil powers for good and were suing the Global warming apocalypse speedrun company already?

I like it because the complete separation of Plot from Gameplay is funny to me. Like Dissidia 3, only with more lesbian furries

Eh, Pac-Man was winning to hard this year. Something stupid needed to happen eventually to try and balance it out

1) Thailand is still a monarchy?

2) Oh buggertrash. South East Asia not having the eShop has been my and so many other physical onlys number one way of getting English physical copies of games that we would otherwise have to play 3 Card Fairhurst to get. If Southeast Asia goes digital that's it. That's the last domino to fall to make physical sales negligable. Except in the Middle East and China, but then physical only exists for games that meet their cenorship guidelines

...Huh. Maybe Kyle Hyde will be one of the last cross-gen games?

I never trusted Bowser coming from EA, and quite frankly I blame him for Key-Cards instead of install cartridges because of it. Devon can at least pull rank as having been there since the begining of the Reggie adminstration, though she started in legal, and is from Kansas.

As a person from Missouri, I am gentically obliged to never trust anyone from Kansas.

@RupeeClock I'm not sure on the DLC pamphlet situation as I've never imported a game that would have had one, but I imagine not one way or the other as the entire reason SEA gets so many physicals is because many if the nations don't have digital store fronts on their consoles still. Parappa's PS4 remaster even got a physical release in Asia because of this. With a brand new cover by Rodney himself.

As for why I go for SEA over Japanese, SEA copies are also always guaranteed to have English localization on them, even being in fully English packaging sometimes, and are typically cheaper over all depending on the current exchange rate. The USD is... about to be near worthless on the international stage, but right now it still has buying power over the Philippino Peso

@RupeeClock Did Sega block Europe from importing the superior South East Asia version as well?!

The only part of Stories 3 you'll be able to own physically

Capcom is a paradox of a company. They're willing to do these lavish Legacy Collections that are some of best physical builds on the market for their older titles, but they are second only to Microsoft in their customer apathy as they speed, screaming to digital only distribution for their modern games.

And again, FF7 4-6 director can only speak for his own game. Literally no other game Square-Enix has released on Super Switch comes close to the resource hogging size and loading times of 7 part 4

@progx They never said they would never take it away though, and those digital purchases are still locked to those old, dieing Wiis and Wii U's.

DON'T

TRUST IT

@progx Those are only so long as the EU forces Nintendo to keep those channels open, and that law can change at the drop of a hat.

Installing directly onto the drive isn't the issue. Its something other consoles have been dealing with since the PS4. It's the fact that, as he frames it, it's the ONLY option available for direct install, where the cartridge is a glorified eShop coupon that will stop working in 10-15 years (if we live that long) that grinds the gears. Installing wouldn't be an issue if it wasn't soddered to the Internet and that flimsy, shovelware filled eShop in particular.

We sure are getting alotta shmups lately. Wonder why...

@NatiaAdamo That's only if it's soccer... for some reason
