Has anyone order LRG's Sega stuff specifically? What's the gap between orders and actual receivable product? Are they better or worse than when you get an LRG "numbered" release?

I await the Inin console port

I am, of course, obligated to celebrate Screamer, as both part of Plaion's (very slow and confusing) redemption arc, but also because it signifies that people are beginning to chip away at that rights squatting Interplay finally. (Though that actual chipping started in 2022 and I just didn't notice. Whoops.)

An extra note on Pac-Man, according to Harada the game is designed by former members of SNK and Capcom's Flagship. Specifically having the main designer of Kirby and the Amazing Mirror. So that's... Fascinating. Someone tell AntDude

I think is funny that Yakuza has morphed into Saints Row featuring Sega Museum.

So THAT'S why the Keighly's are such a slip shot mess. He's just copying that one time he got to work with Leslie Nielsen. You know, it almost makes the Keighly's beautifully tragic in a way. Almost.

@KitsuneNight boy, if you reading this article you know damn well Kingdom Hearts and Metal Gear ain't got ***** on Dragon Slayer's 50 game across 8 generations timeline

The origin point of the most convoluted series in gaming

@Sketcz I am not press. I'm an autistic and possibly schizophrenic walrus on the internet, but I'll reach out and see if they offer me any assistance. Or a restraining order.

@Sketcz This is the first time my insanity has been encouraged by an authority figure. The last acknowledgement was by NF Magazine editor Lucas Thomas. Who thought I was dedicated, but insane.

Said the man with 5 children.

This is the first I've heard of Mr. Redon specifically. Do you have contact information for him?

@Daniel36 Atari and Piko do NOT make it easy. Neither does the complete lack of Phonician alphabet coverage of a majority of Japanese arcade games

@Daniel36 well someone's gotta keep track. And it's not every game ever.

Indies don't count

@Daniel36 Stare into the mouth of madness and see in its gaping abyss that the madness stares back at you, while also pointing out Capcom is actually REALLY small compared to even some Adv-A publishers https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uHp_wqa1tNWa8DpeRRH-KGp3rSU4fmYLtIr86Z7f7og/edit?usp=drivesdk

Note to self: remove Linda from Kadokawa/ASCII section of spreadsheet

They don't have a Neo Geo emulator already?

It's not a question of if, but when. Croc is such a complicated foot note of a character in the history of PlayStation that the fact the effort was put in legally to mention him at all means SOMETHING is coming down the line for Astro that includes him and, unfortunately, the French

Who owns NEC Interchannel's IP now anyway?

I thought this was announced a while ago...

@TheRealMW Thank you, based Gato. I follow Embracer for THQNordic and Freemode, so all the Eurojank Deep Silver and PC only stuff just gets lost in the mist for me.

It's nice that SOME good news came out of today. The announcement that they had given there most profitable branch to Tencent still burns.

Interesting they're not using the "Aeroboto" branding at all. Guess they don't consider it worth the extra coordination since the IP was never really much more than a blip outside Jaleco's homeland.

There's a BUTT load more leaks on here actually... wow they did a terrible job checking this
Amplifier has something called Project Expeditions to announce; Arc has a contract job "Fellowship" (probalby more Rings crap). There's this Tides of Tomorrow that's labeled as "Deep Silver/PLAION" which I have no idea what that means.

BUBSY is on this list. Normally LRG is not included at all on these lists because "there's just so much", but skipping ahead it seems one was added this year as they ramp up actual carbon engine development, but Bubsy is not in that section! He's in the "External publisher" section with the Amazon Tomb Raider (and Squirreled Away which is owned by Amplifier but not published by anyone internally? Even though Amplifier doesn't own the studio on this one. And Atari Part 2: Ziggurat's Rendering Ranger R² [Rewind]. Which tells me Wade is NEVER trusting Josh as a distributor ever again, and that is soothing to my soul.

Good that Prime Matter's still a thing. That's good. They're the good part of Plaion
The bad news is Painkiller's off the board. Meaning it was most likely quitely canceled in the divorce from Saber... And we still have no idea what "Final Form" is other than it's co-owned by Prime Matter

Wait, I thought British sites weren't allowed to use the word Soccer under penaty of death?

@slider1983 I mean the goal being THAT low and they still can't hit it

Well that's... Kinda sad

@calbeau who the &$@+ else would want this crap?!

A reminder that SNK is owned by the Saudi royal family

I will never fully get how such racist idiots got to be in charge of localization back in the day. A similar case befell Sunsoft and that's how they went from esoteric NES geniuses to pathetic license game factory on the SNES

Rollercoaster Tycoon is still a joint custody deal with Mr. Sawyer himself, I point out to Wade's intern on a daily basis

I wonder how Marvelous got involved in this...Wade's Atari of course will be all over this, but who at Xseed (and/or Paon cause Karnov is weird) did they have to meet with to get Karate Champ?

Freemode WILL find a way to mile Tatsuijin more. Don't fret on that front

Sponsored by Marvelous

House of the Dead is one of the few IP where Anderson would bring a deeper, more emotionally nuanced take to the material.

CAPITALISM AT IT'S FINEST

I still can't believe all of this is off of royalties from this inti games

Who's currently getting the paycheck for this remake of Cannibal the Musical?

Yeah, that sounds about right

Thanks, Wade. Just what I needed to go with the Yars blue balls; a grim reminder of the violent house fire that killed my mother

@LowDefAl Tatsuijin is the one only thing keeping Freemode from being worse than DECA in the Embracer family tree

@LowDefAl oh... Well that is a confusing name regardless.

...crap, that means I probably have a bunch of compile stuff under Sega that shouldn't be there... Wait I thought T&E Soft was Edia?

Okay, so "Althi" is who I need to look into about those IP.

It's also interesting that D4 went from "intentionally crap shovelware" division of Bamco to "Japanese Digital Eclipse," and is seemingly unaffected by the staffing cuts

....but why? Why this one? Why records?

Well I like it, but maybe that's just residual hype for Snow Bros 3

Please Don't. Make it stop

Yes, but this isn't it. Nintendo fans that only play Mario, Zelda, and sometimes Pikmin have bad nostalgia. They think anything that isn't exactly those three is just taking resources from something that could be Mario, Zelda, or sometimes Pikmin.

This is just "Middle Earth Enterprieses & Friends" wanting to milk that Star Wars license Aspyr managed to trip into for all it's worth, and Bob Iger being happy to oblige; because Video games are the only medium he's currently being praised for just selling people back what they already like.

Piko has been sitting on bleem for awhile. This is just the first time he's using it for anything commercial

And so the proud tradition of "one white guy in Japanese company who gets hired mainly for translation, but somehow ends up a producer and has the worst takes anyone could ever have" continues on proudly

The One Good Part of Freemode Direct

Hamster has 8 IP that all start with Moon

And at least 12 Mahjong games that are porn

Doesn't give a ***** about Americans.

Blames both political extremes.

Refuses to elaborate.

Absolutely Based

A flight from the eastern United States is around $1162.40 right now. From North GB it's actually cheaper; $939.97

Wow, they really meant it when they said "Like Team 17, but less slapshot and pratfall"

If he's this mean to Revive, I wonder what his opinions of Gaiden, River City Girls, and especially "4" would be.
