It’s been fully confirmed that Konami is both the developer and publisher. Myself and many others immediately assumed it was a licensing deal when it first appeared during the event, though. It’s certainly hard to believe it’s a real thing that’s happening.

I mean, Bomberman’s been dormant longer than Mega Man..

Before I bought a PS4 for Final Fantasy Type-0 it was definitely my primary home console. It overshadowed the PS3 in virtually every way for me.

And it’s basically the same penalty in the TCG, too. You listed the wrong card on your deck list? Here, have some basic energy.

Your post is fantastic. You make a really solid analogy with the Trading Card Game and I love it, but you’ve got “TGC” instead of “TCG” twice there and I have to let you know that it’s severely triggering my OCD..

Game Freak enjoys referencing the anime because it’s been such an important part of the franchise over the years. It’s simply a nod. It’s not any sort of confirmation that he exists in the main series universe.

If he *was* in that universe for any reason it would most certainly be the result of dimension hopping of…

You can *always* trust the Dragon Quest team. They’re the only part of Square Enix that consistently puts out stellar products. This is because DQ has never changed hands. Yuji Horii is still in charge of the franchise as he was when it began.

Wow, a Toriyama character design joke. How very original.

Ash-Greninja (if canon in any way) is likely the result of dimension hopping, a theme that’s very prevalent in the main series games now. Yellow’s player character is a version of Red inspired by Ash, but is not actually Ash. Yellow is an homage to the anime, but isn’t a representation of the anime universe itself.

You don’t, actually, you play a version of Red that’s inspired by Ash. Yellow is an homage to the anime, but does not take place in the anime’s version of the universe.

They’re completely different characters from different universes that are merely considered to be counterparts.

Ash-Greninja in SM (if it’s actually considered canon in any way at all) is definitely the result of dimension hopping shenanigans– a theme that is becoming *very* prevalent in the main series games.

There are at least three distinct Reds in the video game continuity. The original Red from the Gen I-II timeline, FRLG Red from the Gen III-V timeline and the older Red that appears in SM, which is the Gen VI-VII universe’s Red. Due to the existence of Mega Evolution in Origins, I personally view that as the backstory…

It’s worth mentioning that Miyamoto once stated that he wishes he’d come up with Angry Birds as well.

Eh, they have a good relationship, but it’s not exactly “buddy-buddy.” Square Enix still releases games on the PS4 more than any other platform right now.

The whole “Fuck Konami” thing is just saddening. It really, really is. And not because they don’t deserve it– they absolutely do. It’s saddening because it’s a grim reminder of just how far they’ve fallen.

I used to think that Capcom’s continual missteps with Mega Man after Inafune’s leave were about as damaging to a…

The unfortunate reality of the industry these days is that secrets in games are almost non-existent.

With rampant leaks being an inevitability for every major release anyway, companies probably figure that if the “secret” is going to potentially sell someone the game then why not just throw it in the marketing…

We have actual instances now of people being killed by Go players. That’s not the type of news that TPC and Niantic want associated with their game.

Ultimately, Go is a game about promoting exercise and outdoor exploration on foot, so it’s pretty easy to see why they have no problem with the speed limiters.

Blame all…

No, not yet. GAME FREAK has expressed interest in continuing to remake older games, but nothing is announced as of now.

If you at past trends, remakes are based on leaps in hardware technology and not by the generations themselves. That’s why they waited until the 3DS to do ORAS— GBA -> DS wasn’t a big enough leap to…

Game Freak has kind of proven at this point that third versions are dead. A true “third version” hasn’t existed since Platinum— that was over 8 years ago now.

They’ve never really sold all that well and the powers that be would much rather surprise us by doing things like sequels to cap a generation off (BW2) or just…

Why is every single news site on the internet quoting this video like Conan had an actual opinion on the game? It’s a comedy bit, intended as marketing. Conan screams at the screen and points out all the stuff that’s extremely strange or confusing to outside perspectives. He’s not actually saying it’s a bad game. He…
