On the Yukes switch port bell curve that's a 9/10. I went ahead and ordered it on PS5 (couldn't find it locally. What the hell, Koei-Tecmo America?) because I thought it would have performance issues on Switch, but I guess they finally figured the Vita2 out.
Not a Konami game. Konami Europe is trying to do the Devolver/EA Originals thing again after Skullgirls... well we all remember what happened at the Taco Bueno.
The only IP of this batch that Konami owns is Skellattack. Everything else has been retained by the devs.
The FGC has been... saying very mean things about this game because they're going in expecting a Fighting Game, when really they should know from Street Fighter that Digital Eclipse is very very bad at those. This is not a fighting game ment for sweaty tourneys. Digital Eclipse makes documentaries for sweaty nerds like me.
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
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 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 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
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.
@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
@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
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 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
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?
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
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.
