QUOTE | “Unfortunately, due to a technical glitch, the Super Nintendo Classic Edition was mistakenly made available last Friday evening ahead of the official release date.” - A Walmart email informing customers that their Super NES Classic Edition preorders were cancelled en masse.

Even if pixel art platformers go out of style (again), Kyle may not abandon the retro world entirely. He has considered working on a project with deliberately PSone-style 3D visuals, right down to texture warping and other common quirks from Sony’s first foray into consoles.

My opinion: I think that Shovel Knight came out when the market for retro and pixel art games was already saturated, but the game was good so it found an audience anyway.

Well said. The problem isn’t so much that retro-inspired games exist, it’s that EVERY OTHER GAME THAT COMES OUT involves pixel art in some way, and the market is starting to get oversaturated.

Bullshit. Tell that to Yacht Ub Games. Or the team who did Axiom Verge. There is money in retro it’s just that most devs think they can slap together some garbage game with lazy pixel art graphics and make money. You actually have to put effort into it. Retro has become the new zombies a trope used by lazy devs who…

“This is a bit of history rewriting, I know”

It’s a start. In my experience, the only thing that keeps cheaters in check on multiplayer servers (at least for building/survival games) is a staff of dedicated moderators. If there aren’t mods on almost 24/7, script kiddies can do a lot of damage in a short amount of time. The automated tools are important, too, but…

Well I adored the show..the dialogue is hit or miss but I’ve been watching anime for the better part of 25 years. Clunky dialogue doesn’t shake me much. It did feel very...Whedon-like. Depending on how you like Whedon that could be make or break. Castlevania very much reminded me why I hated the 2016-17 Berserk…

Counter-point: a dude literally wandering from town to town in search of his son, fighting to stay alive in a shitty world not of his making, is actually not a bad use of the song at all.

I used to think “opportunism”.

Eh I can totally understand being a sellout for a few years if it means I can earn money to make the art I want after.

....You realize you posted this comment on a website dedicated to reporting the news to the exact type of people who would open such a garage, right?

Those neighbors are awfully righteous for people whose fences are made out of dildos.

I generally don’t wish personal injury on people, but wow, fuck those neighbors with a rusty cactus.

Sigh... You know, if they wanna masturbate to it, they should just say they want to masturbate to it. We’ll all appreciate the honesty.

“War-a. War-a never-a changes.”

In this case, these fakes are unlicensed reproductions of something that is a desirable property. The banana wasn’t (or probably wasn’t) a copyrighted image. Pikachu is. Here, that means two things:

I’m sure they’re trying to stop fake imports, but at the ground level, I’m wondering about the rate of success.

I’m living in Korea, I love Pokemon, and I’m addicted to these claw games [and not THAT terrible at them!]

I’d estimate like 20-50% of the prizes could be fake, and there’s definitely a strong incentive for…

I’m actually really glad they’re still teasing a big confrontation between him and Samus. if he’s the villain in Prime 4 it could be really cool.

The action-y take they seem to be doing with the Metroid 2 remake has me worried they didn’t learn anything from Other M. The melee swing and how things move really don’t show off the exploration and platforming the series is known for.
