Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

tbh I didn't have many control problems with using a stick on Samus Returns but I would have much rather played on a regular controller than on the 3DS.

Hell yeah, El Viento. A game about an anime girl ninja-ing her way across america to stop the mafia from reviving cthulhu's half-brother hastur.



Also the second game in a trilogy that started with that game Ernest Evans which is mostly notable for not being very good and having some QWOP-like animations.

first game, actually. earnest evans was the prequel, which they slapped as the head of the entire trilogy in the third game for some reason. the series was always about anett just loving people up

Huh. Weird.

Unrelated (or maybe related, idk), I found this neat crowdfunding thing for a Hardcore Gaming 101 book about obscure Japanese video games. It looks interesting and I've always enjoyed reading HG101's articles about random stuff.

https://unbound.com/books/japanese-video-game-obscurities

Maybe someone here would be interested in it. $25 for a hardback copy doesn't seem that bad for something like that.

an old hg101 writer crowdfunded it and uh

well

basically the guy self-destructed his entire loving career with a ridiculous legal battle with the lady who translated metal gear solid 2 because he got angry at the interpreters her sister hired for him

Do you have an article link or something that'll go into more detail, because jeeze, what would a lawsuit even be about in that case? "I don't like the interpreters this person's sister provided for me, I want to sue her" is so out there.

Yeah, no kidding. I wonder if it's made any former developers a little wary with wanting to deal with any strange foreigners that are interested in delving into some of the early days of games dev.

there's a guy doing a manga series about stuff he learned talking with games industry veterans that's pretty cool, but it's super obscure, there's only one chapter in english and it's on a japanese site. it's a shame cause it talks about some interesting stuff, the whole first chapter focuses on nasir gebelli, the crazy programmer dude who worked on the early ff games and secret of mana and is now best friends with both john romero and hironobu sakaguchi

As a left hander, I find myself struggling a bit with 3ds games that require using the stylus with the dpad/stick. I can usually cope, but most controls aren't built with handedness in mind, and that gets worse when writing or drawing are involved.

I'd love a left handed 3ds. :sun:
