Best of a bad situation "Atari purchases Netherrealm, Mortal Kombat, and all other IP from Netflix for an undisclosed amount of nickles in a burlap sack, and a bottle of Merlot. TT games to go independent"
Much more likely horrible tbing to happen under current corruption "Skydance Paramount announces new Mortal Kombat game along with tournament circuit. 105% of all proceeds to go towards the IDF.

To all the international folks who have been able to be blissfully unaware of the nonsense we've been putting up with in the States: YOU DO NOT WANT PARAMOUNT TO WIN THIS
They are Skydance now, and Skydance is essentially THE REICHSTAG
Netflix was the neutral option: just the same bad things continuing to happen. Skydance Paramount is the bad one: things immediately getting much much worse. The REAL bad sign though was that COMCAST were the GOOD Option.
We can only hope that, in the confusion, a lion's share of the gameinf assets somehow end up at Wade Rosen's Atari (though now I'm remembering that his brother is the head of games at Nickelodeon, under Paramount, and my mind is putting two and two together and-)
As a professional hater of Metroid fans, I would like to restate that Metroid's baby sister Famicom Detective Club got Nintendo Store merch first. That is a victory those annoying speed freaks can never take away from me
@Henmii Well of you ask /v/ the second attempt wasn't much to look at either ba-dum-tish
Clearly, they just want the studio as an assest grunt work factory (1-Up, Monolithsoft Kyoto) and as a way of getting a pre-set up office space for the new SEA branch because corporate real estate in Singapore is &#$+# to find
@OstianOwl I'm sure every newscaster just has all that rage bottled up from all the horrendous stuff they have to read, and she got an excuse to release it all at once.
AMC?! That can't be either of the two I'm thinking of. And Virtuous seems like a risky choice for Nintendo considering how leaky they are. I'm surprised we didn't know anything about them wokeing on this beforehand.
I'm also just plain shocked they let Samus has yet another new actress, though it could just be two lines like the Spanish newscaster did in Dread: one line of Chozo and the Screaming wrath of 1000 vengeful furies
I 100% Xenoblade 2 pre-DLC and I still have no idea why people think the game needs a Super Switch re-release. At best, all 4 games could use a Panic Button free optimization patch, but it's not so necessary to keep banging on about it when most people still haven't played X despite my multiple threats of great violence if they do not
@Fighting_Game_Loser This is not S & 2. S & 2 are actually fully domestic. Seemingly this team's biggest contribution is being even more filler art for EPD5, which is good because Monolithsoft Kyoto can only make so many fish based brand puns
Montpiller? I thought they were all Hands on Rayman? Granted, despite their finance issues Ubisoft still had more support studios than Bobby Kotick had Children's Hearts in Jars (7) so it could be a matter of Ubisoft's EPD10 simply leading the other teams on Rayman and/or French Half-Life 3
Nintendo knows exactly what Prime 4's main demographic is, and they will be engaging with it only through as many proxoes and moderators as they can GET
It may be a genre I hate, but I respect Supergiant for using their publishing deal with Nintendo to show them up in thier own house by including something in the manual slot.
@Tempestryke There is no evidence to support this other than Miyamoto REALLY FRAKIN LOVES the Jim Henson Company, and I imagine getting them involved in his fantasy epic story would be his number one condition
See, this is why we don't translate songs unless the lyrics are plot important, especially in advertising. What works as a hook in Japanese RARELY works in any other language
Where Anthony? This would've been the perfect time to bring back Mr. Remember Me. And have him be the only one that doesn't die. Again There will be so much trauma fan art about the robot and the other girl's inevitable painful deaths. I also like that the Sylux amiibo is "Get the 100% ending without needing to 100%". That's just funny to me.
At this point, I'm so starved for PlayStation legacy content I'll take a Sly Cooper hero shooter. An Ico tower defense game. Endless Runner Mr. Mosquito
Man who thought things couldn't possibly get any worse more disappointed himself for not realizing that they could in fact get worse than the fact that things are somehow worse than originally thought possible.

Re: Nintendo To Acquire Bandai Namco Studios Singapore As A Subsidiary
Weren't these the guys what were rumored to be making Prime 4 originally till they biffed it?
I think this also means Nintendo just bought an IP, cause I think their one developed game was explicitly stated as "copyright Bandai Singapore"
EDIT: Hirogami! Published by Kakeshi Games, of all entities, the game's legal does state that ""© 2024 Bandai Namco Studios Singapore Pte. Ltd." Ironically, this game is on everything, BUT Nintendo. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3135840/Hirogami/
