Blade Chimera seems to be “Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth” with a sci-fi artstyle, which was also made by Team Ladybug.

It seems weird to add two ninja turtles and cut the other two.

Also, this game made me realize that I would be totally down with a dedicated Avatar: The Last Airbender fighting game.

The FFT soundtrack could totally use a live instrument makeover. Square Enix redid Tactics Ogre and FF Pixel Remaster soundtracks with live instruments.

The card is seeing competitive play in Modern, so normal copies are commanding $60 each on average.

I don’t find the R logo distinctive. Maybe The Pokemon Company wants it to be understated, but Team Rocket would not be something I would think of immediately looking at these fashions. I would have thought R was some designer brand that I have not heard of yet.

If they do decide to release a disc version after it’s considered polished, it will probably end up being a Limited Run release.

It’s funny Atlus chose to remake the base Person 3 game and not Persona 3 Portable. Since the debut of P3P, new fans looking for a female protagonist (FemC), became fans of that character. Her social links are unique from the male protagonist’s social links and she gets few specific music tracks. Once Atlus saw the…

It looks like Person 3 Reload does not seem to feature the female protagonist from P3P.  That is a disappointment, as I know and have read a lot of fans of the female protagonist.  Even Atlus was promoting her in merchandise as well.  That seems like a step back.

Wizards of the Coasts idea of licensing other IPs for Magic: The Gathering (MTG) is to attract fans of those IPs who might otherwise not have been interested in MTG. The marketing goal is convert some of those fans into customers of MTG.

This Lord of the Rings crossover will not only draw LotR fans who might eventually…

Seriously, why didn’t Square Enix make the standard version a retail release?  Even at $74.99, I’m sure there was a market for a retail release.

There are plenty of jokes on the internet about this card being lost for many years, just like the One Ring in the stories. Some even joked that it would end up unclaimed and in a landfill.

However, given how rare this serialized card will be, I also think somebody with more money than sense could sue Wizards,…

Yoko Taro has arrived in Splatoon.

The plot and writing of Engage seems throwaway. I have been playing Tactics Ogre: Reborn, and despite the game being decades old, the re-translated writing is solid, and the plot believable for the most part.

Wasn’t Monolith Soft involved in Breath of the Wild? Monolith Soft seems to be the only team that can handle massive open world games on the Switch.

When Nintendo had bad years under Satora Iwata’s leadership, he took a huge paycut to keep the employees afloat. Mark is worth billions. He ought to pay for his corporate stewardship mistakes by taking money out of his pocket and keep the employees afloat.

Jason Schrier at Bloomberg News (and former Kotaku writer) posted some more information on this matter from the financial angle.

This incident reminds me of other family-friendly venues (with way less money than Twitch) that have foam pits. My son and I were playing in one just a few weeks ago. We could not easily touch the floor, because there were so many foam square blocks densely packed in the pit. The bottom was padded when I stood in it.…

Even video game companies employ “Hollywood Accounting”

Yes, this use of “contractors” is not just in the games industry, but other industries as well.

With the latest update concerning John Carmack, it’s the age-old “engineers vs. business suits.”

Of course, John wants to focus on the user experience of the software. But, he probably has little say, since he is just a consultant. They must be paying John  a lot, because it sounds like he would have abandoned this…
