I work at a store that carries Pokemon cards. Our distributor (a major one, mind you), hasn’t even locked in retailer preorders yet. While I imagine that this will be in-demand / heavily allocated, there is going to be more stock available. It can’t have “sold out” when the orders from every distributor haven’t even…

The Pokemon TCG (as a whole) is literally a double-edged sword right now. With all of the changes to the rarities for Scarlet & Violet, there are *so many* versions of “the good cards” now that even most basic “ex” cards are worthless in terms of value compared to what you’re paying for the packs. I work at a shop…

This right here is the answer. Upload a team for a competition, allow the player to make any stat modifications that they want that will temporarily last the duration of the competition, and then lock the team in once the player has made their decisions. You simply need to have the Pokemon, Nature/Tera Type/etc.,…

(For the record, I’m saying this as someone that has to deal with people that buy things like this and then try to hock them later, thinking that they’re worth a gold mine. Please stop trying to be speculators and flippers and let people have fun and have access to what they’re looking for. Thanks.)

The set from 2021 which sold out amidst the speculator craze during the height of the pandemic? The packs are worth $3 and the most expensive card of the promos in that year’s wave is $0.87, at least as of this writing. 2022's set is not much better, but at least the Pikachu in that is almost a $2 card.

Gonna throw ARIA into the mix, or at least the “main” series (especially since the last of the new projects for it haven’t officially been released outside of Japan yet).

While everyone else has a point that the people doing the pirating might not be people that would actually buy the products if it were the only option, it is also worth noting that sales and demand for print manga have skyrocketed too since the pandemic and that the book/manga/comic/etc. industry is in the middle of a…

“Then I found out that Tyrunt is a spoiled baby that throws a tantrum if it doesn’t get what it wants. That’s not a cool dinosaur at all!”

The full series list for this game is up in the article, featuring no Big O. It was previously featured in Super Robot Wars D, Z, Z2, and Z3, though.

Conceptually, kind of. Plays completely different though.

If SRW has used video game franchises among their series lists in the past, it has been few and far between. It is predominantly anime/manga properties.

“and they were part of the Taisen spin-off series”

“Why is the base set Charizard card so special?”

The last three major releases, Super Robot Wars V, X, and T, all came to Steam as well but were region-locked. This title will assumedly be no different due to the licensing. Also of note, Bandai’s SE Asia channel posted the same trailer with English captions, so it will be releasing in the same way it has with the…

The fact that it isn’t even on their list speaks volumes about how I feel about Sega’s (mis)management. I mean, they managed to screw up (in my opinion) Sakura Wars when they brought it back, so I'm not exactly holding out hope for a miracle here.

“and a pretty dead brand at this moment in time”

Yeah, it’s literally every corner of collectibles right now. Comic books, even long defunct card games. It’s absolutely ridiculous.

The Kodan Armada is such a pushover though.

Given that Blazing Blade (aka “Fire Emblem (no subtitle)“ in the west) and the DS remake of FE1, Shadow Dragon, aren’t shown in the scroll of titles and yet everything else was, some intern probably just grabbed the wrong image and it was supposed to be Blazing Blade (with Shadow Dragon omitted to not be confusing…

It probably could use a different name for the award, yes. “Best Direction” as a category would, to me, implicate that the nominees should be the directors or studios themselves for their work on a game or games, not the games themselves being the nominees, which would then be more in line with what Ian’s point is.
