Re: Looks Like Bandai Namco Is Bringing Its Retro Collection To The West As Namco Museum Archives

alexybubble

Yeah, but where's Wagyan Land, Star Luster, Family Jockey, and Yokai Dochuki? All four of these games are available on the namcot collection, but not here. At least you can buy the Namcot Collection games individually, so I can pick up just those 4, but its still very annoying, especially when we are getting other former Japan exclusive games as a part of this collection. And better yet, WHERE THE HELL ARE THE DRAGON BALL GAMES? Bamco has to have the video game rights for most of, if not the entirety of Shonen Jump with how many anime games they make, and they OWN GUNDAM. Gundam alone could probably make 5 collections and still have a few games left out, and that neglect hurts me more than anything else, especially with the fates that were met by other licensed games. Just put them out Bamco, how hard could it be to put some roms for some old NES Dragonball or Gundam games on an emulator and call it a day.

Re: Bloodstained's Latest Update Is Finally Available On Switch - Adds A New Mode And Character

alexybubble

Yay! A randomizer might make this game be not terrible, as I won't know whether or not the new enemies in the 5-10 room hallways that lead nowhere until 5 hours later will actually give me something useful, which makes them not a complete waste of time! Plus, it also fixes the atrocious upgrade design in the sewers by making it so that most major upgrades will be attached to random enemies instead of there only being 1! Maybe it will actually be better than Aria now. Too bad it can't fix the mandatory equitable upgrades that should have been permanent but are mapped to shards for some god awful reason.

Re: Pac-Man Celebrates His 40th Anniversary With A Special Sale On The Switch eShop

alexybubble

@TheWingedAvenger @Juga Ms. Pac man is missing because of legal issues. Mrs. Pac man is an officially licensed reskin of the clone game Crazy Otto (I think that's the one, I'm not entirely sure). Namco had the rights without a hitch for many years, until Atgames made an unlicensed, yet commercially sold Ms. Pac-Man mini cabinet, which caused the original creators of Crazy Otto, who still technically held the rights, to be more hesitent with Namco, causing the lack of Ms. Pac-Man in the Namco Museum for Switch.

Re: Geoff Keighley Announces Summer Game Fest, Four Months Of News And Events

alexybubble

I saw Squenix and my heart jumped for a bit. What would they be showing? I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the only things we know about from Squenix are Avengers and Bravely Default 2, and I feel like getting a big spotlight in the reveal means that they would have more than 1 relatively niche game and an avengers game. FF16? Dragon Quest 12? Some other completely random thing that nobody knows about? The only other company on the list that falls into this is Bamco, which can most likely be explained by more licensed anime games (please JoJo) and maybe WB (I don't follow them much, so I don't know about them.), so what could Squenix be showing?

Re: Digimon Survive Has Reportedly Been Delayed Again, This Time Indefinitely

alexybubble

@Doofenshmirtz And Persona 5, and SMT5, basically just any new JRPG should be expected to get massive delays at this point, considering Square proper has put out 3 new games this gen, one of which being a reimagining, Enix proper has put out 1, and Atlus has put out 1 console game and a few 3DS games, and the only one of the console games that didn't get delayed was Dragon Quest 11.

Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Had The Third-Biggest US Launch Of Any Nintendo Game In History

alexybubble

@Trajan This is my exact thoughts on the series. If I want the life sim part I'll just play stardew valley, as it has actual gameplay beyond debt repayment simulator. If I want the customization, I'll just play Minecraft on peacefully as that has more customization than Animal Crossing will ever have. If the datamined vegetable growing is real, though, I can probably throw it in the pile with Stardew Valley, Story of Seasons, and Rune Factory.

Re: Team Xbox Shares Custom Shirt And Jumper Designs For Animal Crossing: New Horizons

alexybubble

@clvr I wasn't saying that anything was happening, I was just putting out my opinion on the matter of more MS on switch. It just makes no sense to me for Microsoft to stop now, considering what Phil Spencer has been trying to build with Xbox since he took over. In his eyes, Xbox is an ecosystem, not a brand, and he wants as many people to be invested in that ecosystem as possible. Why else would he have greenlit first party games on Steam? He wants the Xbox to be the console for PC gamers, and he wants the switch to be the Xbox handheld, where you can play the last gen first party hits, causing people to buy a Series X to play Halo Infinite after playing the Master Chief Collection on switch. At least that's how I see it.

Re: Team Xbox Shares Custom Shirt And Jumper Designs For Animal Crossing: New Horizons

alexybubble

@SalvorHardin I think that there's a completed build of Rare Replay for switch already. Phil Spencer wanted DKC 1-64 and Diddy Kong racing on the Xbox in exchange for Rare Replay on Switch complete with those games. Nintendo is hesitant on the idea, but is thinking about letting it happen (Hints of this seep through with Wonderful 101 on PS4). That's also the reason that we've yet to see DKC on SNES online, they want to wait in case they decide to put DKC on Rare Replay.

Re: Poll: Which ARMS Fighter Should Join Super Smash Bros. Ultimate?

alexybubble

It will be springman, as this fighter pass will totally destroy the argument that spirits and assist trophies deconfirm. Smash is a game where you can have Solid Snake, Bayonnetta, Ridley, Mega Man, Cloud Strife, Banjo Kazooie, Sonic, and Mario all fight while summoning a Rathalos from an assist trophy on a stage based on Hannonbow while Megolovania plays in the background. Why is it that we can't have Springman Summon Springman?

Re: SNK Gals Fighters Gets Rated For The Nintendo Switch In South Korea

alexybubble

If it is a preorder bonus for the collection, count me in for a preorder! I'm a sucker for these kinds of things, and I've preordered DBFZ and SamSho Switch for these kinds of things before, so I won't stop now, especially since I was already completely planning on buying this, since I refuse to support virtual console style rereleases by companies/for series that don't already have a collection.

Re: Xbox's Phil Spencer Has "A Ton Of Respect" For Nintendo, But Is Over Rumours About Select Titles Coming To Switch

alexybubble

I don't believe this for a second. Watch as the master chief collection gets revealed at the E3 replacement this year. Stopping now would go against everything that Phil Spencer has been trying to set up at this point. And yes, I do believe that MS asked for Nintendo franchises on Xbox, but not new entries. That's probably the reason why we haven't gotten Rare Replay. I would completely believe if a leak said that there was a completed build for the switch but Phil Spencer wanted the 4 classic DKC games and Diddy Kong Racing on Xbox in return.

Re: Atlus Survey Asks Fans If They Would Like To See Persona 5 Scramble Localised

alexybubble

@kenyowa I think it's more Sony than Atlus. Sony finally realised that all of their first party games are essentially the same two games with a different coat of paint (bar the occasional Ratchet and Clank reboot or something similar) and that all of the third parties except for persona had gone multiplat. So Sony is now desperately trying to hold onto the one big third party franchise they have left, while Atlus desprately tries to escape from Sony.

Re: Sega Forever Isn't Just About Smartphone Games Anymore

alexybubble

The big thing to take note of here is that Sega Forever's library includes the Christian Whitehead Sonic ports, and, more importantly, Crazy Taxi. That means that Dreamcast and possibly even Naiomi games are on the table. We could see stuff like Jet Set Radio and original Monkey Ball on this, if this means that this is going beyond mobile, which it sounds like it might.

Re: EB Canada Reminds Us To Set Aside 24 GB For The XCOM 2: Collection On Switch

alexybubble

@JayJ I used to use a 512 before that ran out of space and I upgraded. I'll probably start using that one after my current one runs out of space. I really want these games, though, as I seem to be one of the 5 or so people that have never touched any of these 3 franchises in my life. With the amount of good things I've heard about Bioshock and Infinite, I can't really pass these up.
