To a degree I wonder how much of the blame is Nintendo’s vs Koei Tecmo since if the execution seem to stand in opposition to everything about it’s presentation/BotW... it very much stands in line with every “fan service crossover spinoffs” Koei seem to spit out all the time with different franchises all the time from…

Similar here except analytical brain is more like : “Holy shit these are PS2-grade graphics and YET THEY STILL LOOK GOOD” which reminds me how much I wished often for more AAA-publisher games striving for -stylicized- games rather than “whatever hype-ass top-of-the-line shader and lighting graphics tech can we force…

It’s much more likely imo that come the 31st, the bundle would stop being sold but every titles would then become available as individual digital release.... including -then- a sudden apparition of Galaxies 2 as it’s own release rather than part of the previous bundle.

I’m pretty curious about Fire Emblem, which…

I have to find interesting how they’re adding those features(however small) to a game that’s supposedly time-limited release. It makes me wonder if there’s some foundation to the people predicting that the collection’s games might get individually released once the 31st of March rolls in.

Also suddenly makes me think…

Sadly my cynical ass do not believe that 2020 would be so gaceful as to grant us that mercy, sadly.

Assuming he’s not faking it(especially with just how fucking convenient the timing here is, and I mean... we already rode that rodeo with Bolsanero and Boris only to be fucking disappointed yet again), I expect 2020 is…

Honestly it’s too fucking convenient for him to catch it NOW in a way that can be used to allow him to skip the next debate AND garner sympathies/crush criticisms with “why do you wish him ill” bullshit AND suddenly “recover” from it only to state “it really wasn’t bad and not working fucking closing the country over…

I really wishes he could get consequences from it but then again the guy is sleazeball enough I wouldn’t put it above him to have faked the whole thing to potentially give himself an “out” from the next debate AND attempt to garner sympathies from his supporters or even outright suddenly “recover” at the end of his…

And even then in Smash I weirdly feel the map builders are... somewhat limited because on a technical level it FEELS like they’d be able to do more?

Like, I’m kind of surprised there was never support for the like of custom “scrolling” levels and the like, even with the current basic assets?

With how many updates they…

And Microsoft themselves probably know it, and probably stated such during whatever negotiations must have happened with Nintendo.

I think you underestimated just how much more crazy popular Minecraft has proven as a singular title than any single Halo or Conkers titles. And how much more likely Microsoft were to likely personally prefer having this character to represent their brand than either Master Chief or Conkers during negotiations with…

The involvement of Pokecoins makes me feel it was probably Niantic trying to figure how to best monetize Pokemon Home themselves.

Wouldn’t be surprised if negotiating the deal may be part of what took so much time.

I wonder if the reasons Home isn’t even Go compatible yet is because of negotiations they had to do with Niantic over the later trying to find yet another way to monetize Pokemon Go.

I’m not super familiar with the battle facility of older games but isn’t that what the Battle Tower + Custom tournament(which is about to get custom-ier with the 2v2 stars tournaments?) are for? Plus I could recall wrong but I feel like I dimly recall new options being added to Battle Tower or something like that with…

To be honest if you look at some of the cliche of “western” religions like the prevalence of “Local Thunder God, sometimes Patriarch God” in some of these pantheons and then look at how many of these cultures speak languages part of the greater Indo-European family of languages...

.... it sorts of loosely make sense ^^;

Plus it could be just me but I’ve generally found that analog trigger tend to be kind of harder on my wrist’s carpal tunnels with the current non-analog “triggers” of my Switch? The added pressure required to use the full width of the analog trigger’s range definitely feel like more strain during longer play sessions…

So much re: Monster Hunter.
Holy shit, I don’t think I can describe how hyped this announcement make me. It’s almost a good thing it’s only in 2021 because that give my time to clear my backlog a bit, thankfully.

Tbh Generations Ultimate is kind of an extreme case.

Sure World had less monsters, even with Iceborne but also.... that kind of made it possible to complete in the first place in my opinion and still had a good fair couple of months worth of playing.

GU however... I think I temporarily uninstalled it to refocus on other…

I doubt it. You have to recall that Monster Hunter games traditionally always came in “pairs” every generations. One for “primary” consoles, and one for “handhelds”.

The only exception was Gen 4 which was the only gen to be exclusively handheld. But even then it still went by the “main”/”side title” formula with…

I’m tentatively curious nonetheless because A: the return to a full-on fantasy setting again, even if it’s still going for that visual styles of more modern FF titles.

B: Yoshida is involved, which I cannot help but if it has anything to do with point A.

Technically the publisher(and thus rights-holder?) is 505 Games. So what money would end up going to Zaimont(and I guess it’d be debatable if the royalty money was meant to be specifically for the -studio- he’s now in the process of burning down, which could get him on technicalities I bet) would depend on whatever…
