it's really weird that Sony put share/stream functionality into the PS4 but they're the only one of the Big 3 to not have an official Youtube Policy

I saw Housemarque tweet at them saying "uhh help?? people keep asking us and we don't know"

Ace Combat 04 is real good and I've heard 5 is also good (but very long) so I hope you enjoy them and their soundtracks :D

Sorry if this has been posted, but Prima Games has a hardcover strategy guide coming out that seems to be a companion for this - interview, etc. plus maps and excerpts from Nintendo Power. It says it's 17 games but I'm guessing they're all from this collection since it comes out on the same day (probably just not covering things like Galaga and Tecmo Bowl).

https://www.amazon.com/Playing-Power-Nintendo-NES-Classics/dp/074401767X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1470661333&sr=8-1&keywords=nes+classic+book

edit: yep, it's meant to go with this, and the games list is...kind of weird. I mean it'll be nice to have the Nintendo Power stuff for Metroid, StarTropics, and the Zelda games handy, but I feel like Dr. Mario is less useful than Final Fantasy. Perhaps they're just sticking to first party stuff here so they don't need to pay anything else out.

Look, Nintendo just wants to sell 25 year old content at full price as usual.

Losing the Nintendo Power archive sucks if only because the level maps they put in their guide made for great no-effort dungeon maps for tabletop gaming.

The last Suda51 game that was an actual Suda51 game was No More Heroes, wasn't it? I was under the impression that since then he's been nebulously attached to games that have been written and directed by other people.

I've only played Killer is Dead since the others haven't gotten PC ports but I thought it was a fine character action game aside from the lady-ogling minigame. All the hype Furi has been getting for its art design and crazy boss designs has just been making me appreciate KID more, especially since I got it for like $3 in a bundle.

They exist. They get tattoos and make porn and own businesses and gambling poo poo. It's kinda like how the mob still exists but they try to stay a lot more low profile than they used to. If there's more to them than that, it's nothing I know about.

It's my mistake, the guy who authored the article had written a book called "Tokyo Vice", he was never emplyed by Vice as far as I know.

http://boingboing.net/2010/08/10/yakuza-3-review.html

quote:

Overall, the game is favorably received by the three yakuza playing it. While it vilifies organized crime in many parts, in the end it glorifies the yakuza and gives the protagonist just cause — it was good PR for their profession. Plus, it is not wildly off the mark in depicting the modern yakuza. Ironically, the sections that Shirokawa seemed to enjoy the most were cut out of the US version: mahjong, the sexual massage parlor, and the hostess clubs.
