@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

@UndockedActionFemme The one good thing about Aspyr is that if you just wait till right after the Josh pre-orders close, an actually affordable retial copy that will be released on time will he announced distributed by Aspyr themselves. It's literally the only plus they have over Nightdive, because Wade keeps sub-contracting them to Aspyr's cousin that even Aspyr hates working with.

@Elbow @Wewewi @Thomystic @TomSupreme @Alex79uk They're Embracer's most consistent profit generator now, and certainly less of a liability than the overbloated Eidos teams themselves. I will admit, most if not all of Embracer's really good porting teams either left with Saber, or were Shiver (Soon to be Nintendo Miami), but Aspyr are competent enough, and they're free. I'm not saying they're the best, but they don't have to pay a sub-contracting fee to Atari.

Someone explain to me what makes these two different versions of 3 specifically the ones to remake when, as far as I understand it, Dynasty Warriors and Romance of the Three Kingdoms are slightly updated re-dos of the same story every time

I think we need to start applying the Josh Fairhurst rule to everything Level-5 does: everytime they announce something, expect it to release 7-18 months later than when they say it will.

STILL weird to be seeing AAA live service updates be day and date on Nintendo.

WHAT THE FLYING HOOCHIE-BONGOS?!

The physical WILL be Josh Fairhurst, and the dub WILL be Yong Yea still. An objective downgrade in all regards

It's made by Tencent. Of course there's going to be some kind of Monkeys Paw

Yeah, that sounds about right

Oh they're still alive? Good for them

I thought they retired? One of them must have mob debts to pay off

There will be no survivors

@JohnnyOutOfHisMind Wasn't a compliment

@JohnnyOutOfHisMind Appropriate username.

Contractors are already outsourcing under US law, and have about as many employment protections as the sweatshops abroad.

As always, I blame this on Doug Bowser's intimate knowledge of how EA works, and way too friendly relationship with Microsoft, but this is nothing new. Nintendo wins for a generation, grows arogant in the next. Gets humbled aggressively, pulls a hail Mary too get themselves back to top while being consumer friendly again, and once back on top go right back to screwing people over.

Every year, Xenoblade 3 becomes a little more cosmicly hilarious

Square-Enix can churn out second party remakes and HD-2D experiments like government censorship regulations, but ask them to do anything in-house that isn't adding stuff to the MMO and their slower than Congress passing a bill that would benefit society as a whole.

They're actually using the Mighty Rabbit logo again, which is what Josh's development company was called and LRG originally founded as a tax shelter to publish the games mostly as gag gifts.

It shows commitment

Maybe it says more about the people I talk to, but I never saw anyone say anything bad about the gameplay. They all thought the combat and level design was fine, best in the series even.

What they hated was that they de-gayed Bayonetta.

My opinion on this man's take cannot be posted here because there is no version of it that doesn't contain at least 9 of the 14 words

Rosalina ONLY if I find her on clearance like the Tears and Streets figures ended up on.

Reason has been given for why the game has been re-made again: so they can make it SHORTER https://x.com/Chad_Concelmo/status/1966508250645332301

@Dimjimmer Star Ocean keeps getting remakes because tri-Ace needs the work. Yhis looks like... Tose. Maybe this is meant to be an easy make-up for the flop of Foamstars. (and I liked Foamstars)

Thanks Wade. Didn't realize the release date wasn't public knowledge yet. Me and the boys at the Atari functions have known this for awhile

Breath of Fire at home

I think this is the forst time besides Smash Nintendo has announced DLC before the release of the game.

@Dimjimmer But why not PORT that instead like Ace Attorney and Dream Drop Distance. Why remake everything from scratch, when that money could be going GEX 4?

Also, editor person, a version for Xbox and Base Switch (with actual 7 gig cartridge) has been confirmed

Well it's a good thing I still got my Wii copies and the ability to search "Mario Galaxy HD NEW ROSALINA LORE PAGES" on YouTube

Why 7? The Key-Card I've just learned to wait for the PS5 version if at all; but why remake 7 AGAIN?

I get the Pokemon making their own Minecraft, with Blackjack and Ditto, but why get Koei-Tecmo to do the grunt work?

HATE HATE! I AUTOMATICALLY HATE THIS CAUSE THIS BUMPED THE STAR FORCE COLLECTION FROM THE AMERICAN DIRECT!

THAT'S RIGHT! JAPAN GOT A TRAILER FOR STAR FORCE LEGACY COLLECTION INSTEAD OF THIS AND THOSE OTHER WEIRD INDIE GAMES AT THE START!

Okay, but why 7 again? Is it just for the pun? Cause I remember 8 and 5 being WAY bigger.

ANOTHER TEN YEARS OF THREE HOUSES DISCOURSE!

(I wonder if this is in-house or back at Kou Shibiwase. I want to say in-house cause this is actually pretty and not as BUTT UGLY as Fodland.)

Well, at least Camelot is still getting a pay check. Golden Sun still dead, but hey! We got Baby Waluigi now.

So that's... something

So now the question becomes: will Yoshi stay it's own IP in Smash, or will it be fully merged under Mario? Also, is this still Good-Feel?

Dread it.

Run from it

The Koopalikgs will always return

Why do the Samue amiibo come out a month ahead of the game though?

I'm guessing that Japanese Virtual Bowling is what Nester was based off of, but they still OWN Nester, so why not just use his version? Is that one of the few ROMs they lost?

Also, is that the entire library minus Waterworld?

What the heck would amiibo do in 2 Wii Roms anyway? More retcons to Rosalina lore to make her more in line with whatever backstory Illumination will give her?

I also do not look forward to pating $40 for a Susie amiibo

@tati23sp Naw, this is still a higher water mark than Argonaut, ans a hell of a lot less confusing than Microprose

All of the Acclaim Sports games are owned by Throwback or Piko. It is to my understanding that none of Acclaim's IP are owned by this, which is less than can be said about Accolade as it at least stayed mostly together as one lump as it got passed back and forth from Atari yo Billionsoft and back again

Still not a leak, Nate. There's always a direct right before TGS in the second week of September. The only question is the date, and you were flip-floppy on- OH DEAR GOD IT'S HUGE!
