I’ve been a fan of Legend of Heroes ever since I played A Tear of Vermillion on my PSP when I first got it. (Speaking of which, I really wish Falcom would do an HD remake of the Gagharv Trilogy on PC so we could get a translation that isn’t horrible.)

I remember getting paired on occasion with people that would leave you behind if you so much as dared to watch the cutscenes on your first run. It sucked.

Cost cutting, clearly.

If you’re making a patch for the same people waving torches and pitchforks at Nintendo, and then back out of it, you’re going to have a bad time.

Regardless of whether this actually turns out to be a good or bad game, be prepared for the game’s service to be taken down and/or for it to be unplayable in a couple years.

Eventually, future generations of kids will never know the excitement of cracking open a game, smelling that “new manual smell”, maybe looking over the manual a bit, and popping the game into the machine to play. Thanks to the introduction of game downloads, they’ll have... a progress bar.

For the higher end of that bracket (say 7-8+) I’d recommend Castle in the Sky as well. The younger they are the least likely I would be to suggest it though, despite it being my favorite out of all the Ghibli films. Some parts might be a bit too scary for younger children, especially the rogue robot scene.

For KonoSuba, I’d also recommend it if you liked: Outbreak Company, Slayers, and DanMachi (aka “Is It Wrong to Try To Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?”). The humor I find can be fairly similar to Outbreak Company at times (and uses the same “transported to another world” trope), and it parodies both Slayers and DanMachi in…

Only one person? Giving Bakemonogatari a run for its money.

The short answer is, “Because SAO is wildly popular, that’s why.”

This was going to be my argument. I mean they put these tatoos on a freaking NBA player. He’s gonna be on TV all the time! Do the networks need to pay the tatoo artist a royalty every time he’s on camera?

Indeed, I’d like to reiterate this: If you button mash in Zestiria, you’re going to have a Bad Time. Some Tales games are “mash X and O to win”, but not this one. Zestiria will hand you your ass if you play it this way past the first hour or two.

While it required you to, y’know, actually have enough rupees, the better tactic was to buy the item and then really quickly save and quit while your rupees counted down. Assuming you’re really quick, when you reload your file you’ll only have lost a few rupees instead of the full price, and you won’t be labeled a…

I just looked it up.

Because the extra content from the mobile version is in it?

On the plus side I am hopeful that this can be modded to look and sound however we like. This is PC after all.

That Konami game developers who aren’t seen as useful are reassigned to jobs as security guards, cleaning staff at the company’s fitness clubs or roles at a pachi-slot machine factory.

There’s a lot that can be said about “promising to do better” but if that doesn’t include doing away with retailer exclusives, Nintendo can shove that promise where the sun don’t shine.
