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.

Ian, Mikez and Wade are going to have FUN playing damage control with that.

How the heck did I miss a 4 game series when compiling the Taito section?

I'm sure of placeholder AI dialogue was really obvious, like it sounded like EVE, then I think we would have less problems

@breach187 I said DID. They DID make a genesis controller

@KingMike Marvelous. Specifically their mobile division G-Mode. They've been slinging Data East ports to every retro console they can. They even made an all new BurgerTime for consoles.

@breach187 1) That's what Amiico was going to do, but it's one of the main things that kept breaking

2) Nintendo did make a Gensis controller.

Putting aside how hilarious it is that Wade and Embracer's D Team were able to put together a better send up to Intellivision legacy in less than 2 years than Tommy ever did in 10 (by the way, this isn't the first use of Intellivision by Wade. Atari 50 got the M Network DLC, and there were shirts and hoodies immediately. There will always be shirts and hoodies.)

THE REAL QUESTION IS, did they manage to get Astrosmash, Boulderdash, and Shark Shark back from BBG, or is it a sub-liscenig deal like they had to do with Songbird for most of the Lynx and Jaguar games in 50?

The dissection of the human psyche at it's most raw and twisted now has a jukebox and achievements.

"The best satarist are in a constant battle against time, as no man could ever write a joke as hilarious and messed up as the stuff that just happens randomly on a Tuesday morning."

This is entirely a problem with only the Resident Evil producer they spoke to because literally every division of Capcom, INCLUDING THE RESIDENT EVIL TEAM, has a non-zero amount of resources put aside to find new and strange places to port their back catalog too.

"Why would you want to play old game when we make new game?"
"Why would you make a new Onimusha after porting the first 2 to modern platforms?"

FIGHT FOR LIFE 2, BAYBEE!

Making DiZ' computer Namine's "Throne" is a fantastic touch

The best games are made out of spite

@Tasuki ... it's already dead, that's why they sold it for gas money

Ah, seems this is one of those IP Pich picked up in that Gamescom fire sale Wade picked up Grow and those other Ubisoft games from. And apparently I have it listed under both Piko and Ubisoft. Will need to fix THAT later.

The old ways are the best ways

Europe gets the Atari items at actual stores, meanwhile everything in the US is Amazon, or the Josh Fairhurst mystery release date.

Normally, I'd call shenanigans, but seeing how absolutely terrible we've let things get, I can't say we deserve nice things

@JayJ Ah. Well good for them. Glad they aren't published by a division of the people what killed Michael Jackson anymore. Still confused about the 2

...So how many ways will this make it to play KoF 1-10? 4?

Wait I thought there already was a 2. Full Metal Jackal, or something like that. Had the dog from the OTHER Advance Wars at home game as DLC. And weren't these guys part of some kind of embezzlement scheme or something?

I am very confused

Of all the games to bring back... well Sunsoft was always known for their licensed games more than their originals. I guess City Hunter was just easier to re-negotiate than Batman

... Alrighty then

...Why was a Shmup at the Sonic convention?

And what do you mean only time? Square has made three shmups besides Einhander: the Gummi Ship in Kingdom Hearts. 3 even brought back the Schwarzgeist as it's Square super-boss (and all the 7 only normies complained cause they wanted Sephiroth again. "&+#-ing philistines.)

Do you think Jaleco 2 will ever just buy out Irem of their gaming IP? They never use them; they're purely Engineering software now

I mean I have a couple ideas on how a company with historic ties to both the US Military and organized crime was able to weasel their way to a warrant, bit it could also be just as likely that the clerks were just going through the motions when filling out forms and never stopped to actually look at what was being signed off on

...K? Games dongo out of print eventually. Really, it's weird Evercade announces this aflt all.

Ikki becoming Vampire Survivor made a certain amount of sense given their shared reputation and similar genres, but Ripple Island coming back as Overcooked just sound like mad-lib design. Granted, Atari is kinda doing the same thing with their 2nd party revivals and it's working for them, but Ripple Island was the most single player a game could get: a text adventure game. I can understand not wanting to over milk Hebereke, but there have to be OTHER Sunsoft IP that made more sense

Still don't get why we don't get Funky Bowling as well.

Who even owns the Athena games now anyway? Hamster?

@HammerKirby I wouldn't be surprised if they quick and dirtied that so that kids could actually KNOW who Tiki Tong is at Comcast's behest, since they were, for whatever reason, hiding the Kremlings outside of Smash until

@HammerKirby Exceptions are made for the involvement of EPD. Those guys can squeeze blood from a stone.

Forever has something most publishers don't: a consistent bar of quality. It's not a high bar, but it is an even and consistent one

LET'S GO AWAY! (let's go away)

@ElkinFencer10 Josh's argument is that even the failures need to be preserved, and it's something that even Wase Rosen repeats in reference to Bubsy's fame from failure; but Bubsy always had SOME level of care and passion put into him.

LRG is a vindictive ***** post in corporate form, and everything Josh picks up is just some form of pain he wants to inflict on others.

I asked him for clarification if they were sold to Mighty Rabbit (Josh's tax dodge developer that still exists on paper seperate of LRG but is technically controlled by Embracer) or Josh as a person. I guess I'll go with your reading and say they were sold to him directly, and therefore don't need to add them to the Embracer section of my spreadsheet.

Which is good because the first post-Randy addition to Embracer being a collection of ***** posts from the only man in gaming tbat could out-Randy Randy might have been enough to finally push me over the edge.

Coulda sworn Night Trap was part of this lot too...

I'm surprised Veronica is involved in something that's sure to put her position as Nintendo's go to for JRPG cougars in jeopardy.

"You have the sadism of Shodan, the destructive jealousy of Dark Matter, and Kapitalist Konsumption of King K. Rool.
