no the game ends with you rhythym battling a giant naked lady made of salt above Tokyo


then you get lit up by f15s and your Dragon gets impaled on Tokyo tower

Also his mentality for making the game about a bunch of mass murderers with a closet pedophile being the one to go "guys maybe murder isn't super awesome" is because Taro thought that you'd have to be that hosed up to be a musou game protagonist, which is honestly kind of great.

i played it for about ten minutes before it was cool, and about five minutes after it was wondering where all the praise was coming from, and apparently the cool stuff is all locked behind tepid gameplay, whoops

in other yoko taro news I got bored of nier about halfway through the second playthrough and switched back to witcher 3.

it's not really that i dislike the game, i appreciate why it got great reviews and people love it, just for me the bits i liked about it got worn out or dribbled away, leaving all the bits i didn't like still there. it's just not a game for cowcasters.

Has it been noted that the Japan is actually getting the worse end if the deal when it comes to the Super Famicom Mini?

quote:

The Super Famicom Mini gives up Super Castlevania IV, Super Punch-Out, Kirby's Dream Course, and EarthBound, and replaces them with The Legend of the Mystical Ninja, known as Ganbare Goemon: Yukihime Kyūshutsu Emaki, Super Formation Soccer, Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem, and Panel de Pon, known in the west as Tetris Attack.
Not to say that the game's they're getting are bad (hell, I love me some Tetris Attack) but they are all pretty much significantly worse than the games they're replacing.

Are you kidding? I'd trade Kirby's Dream Course for Tetris Attack in a heartbeat.

I'M more confused why Japan's getting FE3 and not Genealogy, aka Waifu Emblem Zero. And that there's no Dragon Quest for them, but maybe they couldn't swing it since they all have phone ports anyway.

mystery of the emblem is super popular in japan, and it's also two games in one so it's pretty big value

I can't say I'd do the same for Earthbound/ Castlevania 4 / Punch Out, especially when the replacements include a generic soccer game

also fe3 is way better than earthbound. goemon is a bit worse than sciv but the only bad pull there is the soccer game.

Also, I'd take Mystical Ninja over Super Punch-Out any day of the week.
The only real loss in that deal is Castlevania imo.

Goemon 2 would be better but the first (SNES) one is still pretty good. It is gonna have save states though because having to write those passwords down again would be awful.

Generic soccer game plus tetris attack is a pretty decent trade for mini golf and boxing if you're Japanese, I wager. Good choices for regional popularity, imo

Crash 1 is the most difficult one. Hopefully some of the clunky platform got fixed.

Goemon for Castlevania seems like an odd trade but I bet it's actually spot on by popularity, and Earthbound for Fire Emblem is evident. Seems like they did their homework.

I mean Dragon Quest would require giving Square more money and Fire Emblem requires nothing so that's probably why they did that.

They control as well as I can ever expect a phone game to, and the translation for 1/2 is amazing but I just wish there was a 3DS/Vita port.
