The reason all this is happening is because Sony apparently only ever owned the games, never the characters of Parappa. Original creator Rodney retained everything else

@Sketcz ....

Nope, still lost

I don't know what Culdcept is and I'll never understand, but Am obligated to point out that since it's the Clarice engine porting the first game, the new one is also being published by City Connection physically. True cartridge, just like Rushing Beat, and the relationship with LRG's much cooler European cousin remains stonger than ever as Begins is planned for a world wide simultaneous physical release.

@PKDuckman I said Seems.

Although, I'm surprised this beat that Shmup they were making to be the first of their "numbered" releases.

This is done by M2 while Digital Eclipse seems to have done Bomberman

Huh... that's one of those things you feel like was always there. Just by default

That... is a THQNordic IP. At least, it was the last time I checked.

Me thinks there was an IP fore sale at one point, though wouldn't they be line items on the IR reports? I'll have to remove this and Delta Force later.

Thanks, Klemens

@LowDefAl That's what I said. They are inventing new platforms just for SNK, City Connection, and Atari to port old ROMa too

The lengths SNK goes to to find new ways to port their old games is impressive, if a bit distressing

Synergy Connection

Doug is well passed the point of crashing the plane with no survivors

@dustinprewitt Okay, now I know you're talking out your arse becasue Kansas City's never HAD a Jasper's.

@PopetheRev28 They changed their name, but the point is Kansas City still plays by the old rules.

This may look weird to you, but it's standard practice in Kansas City. Mob town rules

No one ever thought to take one of these things apart before?

Big talk coming from someone that lives in an Orwellian hell state

@NatiaAdamo The mystery confounds

@NatiaAdamo I aim for consistency. Also, what the hell happened with slider and Quick_Man up there?

I may hate the NFL and my government, but there's no greater sense of pride I feel as an American than the times when I get to correct the British:

It's JUST FOOTBALL. There is only one Football.

The two genders are Football, and INCORRECT.

USA! USA!

@slider1983 I'm not saying they aren't. I'm just saying, it explains why he did that. The exiting of a CEO, let alone a founder, is a long bureicratic process that requires transtional ceremony and what-not; at least when the exit isn't via cops and/or a 20 story window

@bobrocks95 ...Oh right, I forgot what site I'm on. The one that's half the reason that 7200+ in my living room exists in the first place.

Still, I'm surprised anyone on this site would roll the dice with LRG's re-pro carts. Figured everyone here would be a bit more... diserning

Well that explains why that Nickelodeon collection has the "Mighty Rabbit" logo in it since that's Josh's corporate Identity (Note to self, take all the Mighty Rabbit stuff out of the Spreadsheet. And burn it) so that means he wants to make sure he gets his paycheck for that. Same reason he bought all those FMV games personally, rather than on Embracer's dime
Speaking of, I've removed all that Mighty Rabbit crap that was questionable to begin with afrom my spreadsheet. It's now just Plumbers Don't Wear Ties and Little Samson. Embracer is now once again shorter than Konami; cause I don't know where to even start with the Dark Horse crap, nor do I want to.
With the Fellowship Shuffle happening this year they'll most likely be shuffled directly under GOE and/or Aspyr, meaning LRG will FINALLY have someone with a compitent understanding of logistical priority.

@slider1983 You're despicable, you know that?

I find it funny, if a bit frustrating that this escaped Atari Groovy-posting containment, and most people's reactions are STILL "Atari's still a thing"?

YES! DID YOU NOT SEE THE BUBSY AND MORTAL KOMBAT?!

There's this one guy on the Atsri forums who's been hyping up Atari's tinyBuild connection like it's what's going to take Atari's stock value to the moon.

If this is all that relationship ends up amounting too I am going to lauch my ass, sorry arse, off to how fuming he's going to be.

Holy Crap, it's the original Earthbound clone

As the Embracer sycophant who KNEW CDE was a bad idea even before The Randy happened, I would just like to say it's bit one sided that the media focuses on every little thing that goes wrong in Canada: meanwhile I only saw one site report on Arc spinning back off into it's own thing, there was hardly any coverage of Coffe Stain spining-off with most Amplifier, and speaking of Amplifier NOBODY covers what happens with any of them. Whether they bought themselves back, went under, or were moved to a different branch like Coffee Stain or THQNordic.

What I'm saying is websites are using Eidos for click-bait when even without The Randy we should have expected CDE to slim WAY the hell down given how bloated they had gotten under Square-Enix, to the point of only having 2 games that were confirmed to turn a profit (Deus Ex 3 and Tomb Raider Snuff Edition Part 1), and the fact that the process was this protracted when any other buyer would have been way more aggressive with the cuts early on is-

...

I don't know why I bother anymore.

Pairing Body Harvest up with a bunch of games from Piko's most direct competitor is certainly a choice that I am surprised Pich went along with.

Also: reminder to myself I apparently need to add Super Solitaire, Burning Road, and Dead in the Water to the Ziggy section of my spreadsheet as, apparently, this is the first time Ziggy's ever re-released those 3.

All men suffer in the hell of their own creation

I've long held the conspiracy that the rise of AI data centers and all those ecological disaster speedruns started, quite coincidentally around the same time Elon started doubling down on his space colonization efforts again.

Funny how that timing works out, don't ya think?

Progentitor ain't on the sheet, but Rekoeition is. Has a couple spin-offs under it, including Uncharted Waters... So I got that backwards I assume?

I wonder if there's a way Plaion could sell this. Like, how do they retroactively pay the modders and sell it as an official product?

You know, I bever understood why Wade went out of his way to buy a forum site of all things.

This explains that though.

Still confused about Moby though

Again, I really think Tatsujin would fit in better with Atari.

Then again, MOST of Embracer would be better off with Wade's methods at this point, as much as that makes me feel like an unfaithful skabk to say.

Definitely not Crazy Labs, though. We can just blow that up. Violently

Once again, Bark and Bean erasure

@Null2 Let's go down the list of origins

Sega: service bar games on military bases in the Pacific

Taito: Booze

Square: Electric company

Konami: Jukebox and Gyms

Tecmo: Yachts and Building Maintenance

Koei: Made to order SMUT

Sunsoft: Textiles

Namco and Data East: Pre-computer games and automotons

Irem: Cotton Candy machines

Capcom: Side hustle for the founder of Irem

and of course, Nintendo: Playing cards for the Yakuza

TAITO IS UKRAINIAN?!

@Exerion76 Ah. So the original buisness is still going.

... question for the Europeans. Is Plaion still big in movies over there, or are they basically just games to you all too now? I know the studios all exist on paper still, but those same earnings reports never make any special mention of any medium besides games unless it's that Lord of the Rings anime, or a Dark Horse series.

I just want jewel cases, dog

Damn, poor Dizzy. I'm not sure which AI dungeon would be better for him to be stuck in: EA's or his own dads'

System 3 still exists?

Coming soon to a 7200+ near you if Wade or Plaion can get Konami to pick up the phone

@slider1983 Yes. Yes we are ashamed. Of very many things.

@slider1983 This is specifically a Japan thing that they had a department set up for this kind of obscure scenario. No One Lives Forever is a purely American production, and the American system is set up to let an IP rot rather than letting something transfer without someone getting paid.

Ah, so Square didn't sell it: it fell into the public domain... technically

Thanks Wade. And Jones, though I'm not sure why you have to say "signed a deal:" Tatsujin is Plaion's corporate cousin.aybe it's because Tatsujin technically out-ranks Plaion in the hierarchy.

Josh, you still suck.
