@slider1983 Hey, I blacklist all Tencent and NetEase owned IP when I go into the archives. I'm an American: I'm already stuck supporting a warmongering monkey brain by default. I don't need another
What I want to know is what the HELL is the rights situation on Sabrina that, out of the MULTITUDES of GB/C games Wayforward made, did they not only go for Sabrina, but were able to navigate the rights hellhole that is licensed kids games?
@Guru_Larry I think it's because he really wants an excuse to work on a Saturn emulator that NEEDS to be frame perfect. as a flex. Success and City Connection's are really only good for shooters (and even then still need work), which are a bit more forgiving in their input delay allowance.
The saddest part of all this is Matt Danner, creator of Xiaolin Showdown and Legend of the Three Caballeros is listed as the main creative behind this.
We all do things we aren't proud of to keep the lights on sometimes.
I feel like Wade risks stretching himself too thin with all that hardware. Stick with the 7800+ The NES level games seem to be selling enough to profit for both them and Plaion.
Wait, which rights holder? G-Mode, Paon, or Sega? I've been keeping it under G-Mode since they got most everything, but did it end up going to some weird ass other place because it was made by the Pinball dudes?
@maximit Again, I'm not a fan of the merch model, but everything seems to be on the up and up quality wise. Same with the games, they all say exactly what they mean in the tin. Now Wase giving the Gold Masters series to Clear River for them to turn around and give the American copies to Jeff whosyjust sitting on them till an undetermined Summer date is dumb, but Clear River at least makes sure LRG doesn't break those games, so it eventually evens out to "better than normal for LRG" on Wade's end.
@maximit Hating Josh Fairhurst is one thing, but what did Wade Rosen do? Sure he hasn't quite killed all of his predecessors shady and stupid ideas, but they make a profit so there's no reason to end them. You mean the hot sauces and the over reliance on t-shirts and other overpriced merch? While I'm not a fan of the model myself, it's how many smaller creative companies like Glitch and Fangamer keep the lights on.
Powerhouse are a team of very talented animators and at the very least most of the designs in the Castlevania cartoon are good. Most
But sweet LORD ALMIGHTY is that a bad headline, because the only thing people think of when you say "Castlevania Cartoon Director" is that HACK Sharir and his insulting dung on a stick writing
@PKDuckman Who said anything about Sony? I can hate both of them damnit, but this specifically yet another reason to hate companies based in the Seattle metro area.
It feels random that Marvelous are the only company that has any care Mobile conservation (I don't count DECA. I like to lie to myself and pretend they don't exist), but then I remember they are the only third party besides CDProjekt that will have physical releases on Super Switch
According to Nintendo Everything, this is a spin-off of the Cresta series. Are you guys able to corroborate?
And speaking of Strip Poker, though I have a list of most if not all of Nichi's Hoochie Boochie games, I'm unsure if they are all one series, or multiple different IP in the same genre. That genre being Hentai
Interesting that Jaleco2 are working with someone outside of Freemode for this. For the longest time they been pretty exclusive to the house of Clear River (LRG is kept chained in the basement)
@PKDuckman That... is avery good question, actually. Every other fighter has a Saudi/UAE rep now, but not any SNK franchise. Maybe that sand guy from KOF is, but his face is never seen, and he's on the bad guy side. Meanwhile, when SNK was owned by China we got Shuei. Without our consent.
I mean, it's stupid, but at the end of the day Im getting Fatal Fury for the story, not the multiplayer, and i doubt either of these guys will appear in that.
17 was always an awkward starting roater number, so i think this is less an example of replacing Lucky Glauber and Duck King, and more "We proposed 20 characters to start, with the assumption 5 would be saved for DLC, and then the boss gave us extra money to put in his fan-fic OCs."
At the very least, i can respect the call to not have either celebrity voice themselves in either language. I've heard both of them speak now. They suck at it. Plus, Sean Chiplock is a master at arrogant box canoes, so a self absorbed jester of a royal family is the role he was born to play.
@profkross I'm religiously opposed to the very idea of gaming subscriptions. Im not getting a Super Switch until Xenoblade 4 anyway, and hopefully by then they will have been forced to shift the prices into ambassador mode
...No, it'll still cost almost exactly $520 to play Path of Radiance. Console is $450 and the game is behind a $70 subscription. And then another $70 for the next year.
I appreciate that Gex is the example. Gives me minor hope that there's an effort to make Square+Enox actually make a 4. One WITHOUT the flaming hoops of LRG, ideally
