@Grackler @Sketcz As the Embracer sycophant, I feel it is my duty to apologize for the failings of the house of Stubbs, but also to blame this on Jeff Fairhurst being a bad influence, and Phil Rogers being crap at reaource allocation
Still confused how Plaion is making these things (and how they're more readily available than LRG's modern console releases. You know, the ones with the user count in the millions? Funny that, isn't it?)
...4K Media actually gets to work on the GAMES? I thought they were just in charge of localizing Yu-Gi-Oh cards. I assume he means then that they helped with Operation Gulaga; which I always suspected there was outside help on cause none of that game looks like the Wayforward house style.
I like that Phil is such a federal politician level of incompetent at keeping his promises, even the most vauge and simple ones like "do something with Hexen" that he has to call in Atari to to bail him out.
How much of the old Microprose is this Microprose anyway though? Cause last I checked most of their IP are disputed between Take-Two, Billionsoft, and Wade Rosen
In relation to LRG update: Yeah... yeah that makes an unfortunate amount of sense. At least it's Clear River, so it will be sold at normal stores: EVENTUALLY
@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

Oh, you don't want to piss off the French, Phil. They're where Montreal learned it from, and they're worse.
