@AverageGamer Oh right, I forgot the guys that killed Michael Jackson for his half of The Beatles music rights also has a virtual monopoly on international distribution of anime, and in particular Fate and Demon Slayer. Hence why those half so much obvious MONEY in them; Cause you can't get much more money than "Kill Michael Jackson" money.
Glad it appears Key-cards ain't selling for spotted dick, but this seems like a good time to bring up that eternal riddle: how did SEGA end up with the Demon Slayer license when Jump is normally Bandai's domain? Does this have to do with Shuiesha now having their own Nicallis division (with blackjack and hookers?)
I've been telling people that they need to get to the extended ending of Xenoblade X to understand how time works in Nintendo games, but the racial tensions between the Scrimblos and the McSwordGuys are simply too strong. If only I could get them to see that we are not the enemy: Pokemon is
Super Switch exclusive? Well it's not like Purple Lamp was ever able to optimize for Switch correctly. Well it's already been confirmed for Key-cards so I was going to get it on PS5 anyways.
Also, I just love that the THQ shows are always filled with the bloodiest and most gruesome games Eastern Europe can offer, but they open with the David Hasselhoff sea shanty musical number. THQNordic has no target demographic: they have a shotgun and a blindfold
@Medic_alert I actually think the new title is much more descriptive and honest. Certainly makes more sense than "Core Values of Playing BlazBlue in the Toilet"
@OrtadragoonX Low quality bait
@belmont Yes, but note that 2 of the 3 games didn't get physicals until AFTER all their updates and DLC, and Atari 50 got a re-print once it's first batch was done. The Namco stuff that's coming out this year is most likely something that came about after they were approached with after the fact as the deals for the 7800+ games were being signed.
@belmont Citation needed, cause I only remember Wade saying they had "more to reveal" and the full trailer will be this weekend at "Sony presents, an Arab Oil Baron's Sportswashing Distraction from Human Rights Violations Production: EVOLUTION Tournament Las Vegas 2025"
It's kinda messed up the series owned by Warner Bros, the second most blatantly evil company in game publishing, and is wildly remembered and regarded as "mostly crap" by the public at largez and even the few people that actually like it, is getting a better, longer lasting, and more consumer friendly release than Street Fighter 6.
Actually, come to think of it, discounting the Fighting Collections that are mostly for Darkstalkers and the 3D games respectively, the last time Street Fighter had a proper physical release was also made by Digital Eclipse: The 30th Anniversary Collection. Sure, most of the FGC wrote that game off because the future Atari Dev Team 1 hadn't quite figured out Netcode yet, but those guys also think it's admissable that 75% of a game's roster is permanently locked behind non-recoverable/DRM locked DLC passes. So for the purposes of artistic integrity, they can get beat up in a subway by an old Chinese lady and a sad hobo.
It says something that the multiplayer focused Katamari was the highlight of this EA DRENCED showcase, and it doesn't even have a Super Switch skw. Just basic backwards boosts.
Oh, also, all that EA faf bumbed a new NIS IP and a new trailer for Dragon Quest 1+2 Re-Rock The Dragon that were only in the Japanese direct. So, you know, another reason to hate Western AAA
@Thomystic Because I was legitimatly confused how someone who comes to this website has missed the 5 year Renisance of Wade Rosen saving not only Atari, but showing that there IS some good in Western game publishing. What once "killed" game development in America will be the only one left to save it from itself.
This is the exact business use case that the AAA CEO's are referring to when they say Key Cards are more publisher friendly: because as much as they hate their consumers they hate Nintendo proprietary formats more
What I don't get is LRG gave Animal Well a full retail release, so doing it again just seems... well maybe this is just cause I hate Dunkey, but it seems like a waste to re-print it.
@Serpenterror @Tyranexx @Giberaltor Now hold on: yes Microsoft are greedy idiots, but Embracer never bought a studio or company unless there was an immediate plan for how best to use them. There was always a plan; it's just not even the best plans can account for Randy: who has been named by multiple sources as the primary reason that one investment deal fell through and caused to get dragged through the mud. As I've been saying, Microsoft would have just immediately shut down entire branches in such a situation, but Embracer at least took the time to make sure as many people as possible who did go landed on their feet.
@gabrigoes Kombernina, Mr. Run and Jump, and Bread and Fred, Dayz of Ruin, and for all intents and purposes Adventure of Samasara are all new IP brought about by Wade's administration
@TerribleTerabytes What rock have you been under for the past 5 years? Every other week now Atari's in the news for some great revival or better-than-it-has-right-to-be remaster. Gold Masters series, Yars Rising, Lunar Lander Beyond. Infogrames is bringing back Totally Reliable Delivery service, and Intellivision is free from the incompetence that is Tommy Tallerinco.
We're even getting brand new 7800 cartridges as the one good thing the Plaion side of Embracer is doing.
This is nothing but good news especially for me. I hate Thunderfull for how they squandered Rising Star - which is all but dead ever since Deadly Premonition 2; a game I will stress I thought was fantastic amd much better than either No More Heroes revival.
Now under Wade the Retro nerd all that nonsense about trying to make live service indie games will be tossed out the window for what the people TRULY need: Bubsy vs Meatboy.
Even better; I'll finally get a fully itemized list of what IP Thunderfull actually held onto in the divorce form Headup.
One thing that the Presidents fail at is having these training games. Games that clearly came about more as a teaching tool for new staff rather than something to draw a profit. Something that's emblematic of American capitalism only being able to think of "number go up" means an inability to make long term investments like this.
I have a Trails playing associate, and he described Game Key Cards as such "In the civil war that is physical and digital games, Key Cards are the Missouri Compromise."
