I grew up to Squaresoft jRPGs and god knows I don’t trust today’s SE to remake any of them properly. You see what they did to FF6. And even FF7R, which was fine until that stupid ending...

You know, half of america bootlicked Trump for 4 years while probably about 95% of the rest of the world was somewhere between “amused” and “terrified” at how stupidly bad of a leader he was.

Quite a few people in China like their system, and its leader. It shouldn’t be too hard for an american to udnerstand ^^

Just a brief mention of No More Heroes 3 in this post and none of the fact that No More Heroes 1 and 2 were dropped onto the eShop out of nowhere. Seriously, I just happened to check the eShop right when the Direct was stealth released and they were both just sitting there staring at me like they’ve always been there.

Dreamcast mostly relied on having a weird-ass GD-ROM disc format packing more data than a standard CD, which would make it impossible to reproduce with a home burner, though games that fit on a standard CD could easily be duplicated as long as you had some means to pull the data off the original disc (most commonly,…

New account, same old trolling. Nothing makes the snowflakes cry more than tearing down their obscene shrines to treason and losing. As a white person, do not tell me these confederate loser idols are for “white people”. My white great great grandfather did his patriotic duty and shot his way in to the south as part…

That’s a weird way of spelling A.B.A.

First of all, I 100% agree that this game is incredibly anti-newcomer, which seems absurd. The end credits may as well have included a link to buy the original on PSN. But even as someone who has played the original countless times in the past 20+ years, the “fight against fate” portion feels wildly unnecessary to me…

As an adult who is more familiar with how Japanese sounds (though it’s not like I speak or understand it) I don’t think I would make the same mistakes I made as a kid. But in 1997 with no knowledge of Japanese (and before I could just Google how anything is pronounced), it was harder. And a lot of that just stuck and,…

Yeah I can understand that, when I was a kid I pronounced chocobo as “kokobo” and, switching to Zelda, Deku as “dee-koo” rather than “day-koo”. You also have Tidus from FFX who 1) was technically unnamed because the player could rename him and so none of the characters could actually say his name and had to work…

Even though those roles were recast for this latest film in the franchise, there is at least one other familiar face returning to Bill & Ted: William Sadler as the Grim Reaper.

Oh, most definitely. You could tell how much he personally loved SNK and wanted to do it justice in smash.

This presentation was incredible. Sakurai is an absolute treasure. His love for classic fighting games is abundantly clear, and I love it.

Already knew this was going to be here:

Great stuff! Finally happy to cover one of their videos on here. 

Honestly, the movie is much better in retrospect. I’ve seen so many modern terrible movies now, SMB actually seems like a fun weird sci-fantasy movie.

Counterpoint: “Metroidvania” is just fine, has been around for decades, and is an established term that refers to a specific genre of game. Specifically, one in which you’re placed into a maze-like world that requires getting powerups to advance, and once you do, the door is open for incremental backtracking and…

I am really hoping for SMB2. Been wanting that since the first game since SMB2 is my personal favorite Mario game.

So, Nickelodeon is rebooting Space Cases?
