Wouldn’t be entirely surprised if it was mostly that Japan doesn’t see the XBox as being important to their home market.

If you just want a shitbox that plays certain Dreamcast games maybe that’s enough, but the requirements to do it well are enough that you can’t get by on the same hardware powering these things. There being a good Dreamcast emulator out there doesn’t mean just any cheap piece of hardware will do.

Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s made exclusively for the Japanese market.

Probably not, as a way to encourage buying them collectively. Japan loves premium goods like that.

I got my Playstation TV that way. They were pretty much DOA, and discounted down to $45 brand new almost immediately.

I picked up a Vita before I went to Japan, and came back with another one (limited edition Hatsune Miku model.) Almost got a PSP, but not much a Vita can’t do that a PSP can.

GameGear games aren’t very big. The entire library is under like 200mb.

Yeah, I doubt my case is typical, too. It’s definitely not a feature for everyone, but arguably it’s more suited to Steam than any other platform.

Case-in-Point, Venture Beat’s list of 20 best indie games for 2017. Know what other game came out that year and isn’t on the list? Hollow Knight.

I feel like this is somewhat common. With consoles I’m not sure I’ve ever owned more than 50 games at a time for any given system, but collecting a large library is pretty easy to do on PC.

Think they’re just supposed to be gadgets/doodads that play into the design aesthetic of their logo.

I can’t picture Biden losing stopping the DNC from pushing third way “don’t rock the boat” candidates. They’ll find another and push them in 2024.

Currently living in Japan, just a couple blocks from a net cafe. Coronavirus measures have been pretty slow to roll out here but seeing places close in the past couple weeks made me think of the people who live out of those cafes.

They released the fighting games on XBox (at least in the West, they didn’t bother with at least one of them in Japan) but despite being canon and advancing the plot for Persona 3 and 4 it didn’t exactly lead to any more Persona games on XBox.

The huge “everyone has amnesia except for one guy who didn’t tell anyone” plot point always bothers me. Amnesia is a lazy story device most of the time, but it’s pretty bad here in particular.

Where do you think you’re going with this argument? Should any shitty behavior just be tolerated so long as it makes money for charity?

Ever heard of sponsors pulling out of an event because of the views of people participating in it?

I think once all the major accomplishments are met people are going to hit that wall where they wonder why they’re bothering. Even before Classic servers, when they rolled out new shards, players would descend upon them to reroll, and rush to the cap to to hit all the realm firsts that they could.

I love the idea of invoking “every other kid has a phone, use theirs” and “there’s no reason for your kid to have one” in the same argument.

It’s probably not intended for you to do everything the first time you play the game (and it specifically gets easier on successive playthroughs thanks to New Game Plus), but it IS possible to max them all out in one go.
