Interestingly a couple of those are also on the upcoming SNK Classics collection and it seemed like they'd been deliberately avoiding crossover until now

haven't played it but it was part of their VS series, which were at best romhacks of NES games, so its probably pretty much the same game

2shy reviewed it and didn't like it on account of "meh" writing and difficulty spikes. Looks like it's trying way too hard to be Earthbound and failing IMO.

In some respects I'm glad there's never going to be another Kid Icarus Uprising because Troy Baker probably costs way too much now compared to what they probably got him for back over half a decade ago.

It reminds me of Citizens of Earth, which was obviously trying to ape some of what made Earthbound funny while having like 70 recruitable characters. It probably wasn’t as long but it was such a niche game that my wife and I got stuck more than once on some obtuse maze or puzzle and there’s weren’t any guides to give us a hint. I think there was one guide that just said “navigate the maze to get to the boss”

What I remember from Citizens of Earth is just how easy it is to sequence break. Like, the game has forms of fast travel that you can unlock relatively early and there isn't really anything preventing you from using the fast travel to get to places earlier than you should. I ended up exploring around and in the process ended up clearing a dungeon backwards.


Eventually I got stuck in some level geometry a little later in the game and I was like "ok nah f this I'm out"

Also it had a really weird decision where it had various things you could do like leaving party members at a school so that they can gain exp or paying for stuff to be delivered to you or something like that, but these things had a timer associated with them. Like, it's a game you have to pay for, but then you see some stuff is just made up of mobile-game-style timers where you're stuck waiting around and the question's pretty much just "why is this here" since there were many better ways imo to handle that kind of situation without implementing mobile game real-time countdowns.

Also HAMSTER just spilled the beans on some upcoming Arcade Archives releases. I can't read Japanese but using technology and the obvious I was able to discern Donkey Kong Jr., Athena, and Image Fight.

https://twitter.com/HAMSTER_Corp/status/1043760069916020736

It's weird to me that Hamster would choose Athena and Ikari Warriors when SNK is putting out the 40th Anniversary Collection on Switch with similar games. I guess it's good if you don't own a Switch, but still seems a little redundant.

But there's also the case of the Sega Genesis Collection coming out for Switch at the same time M2 is putting out the Sega Ages rereleases.

Edit: gently caress, didn't see this page, I've been beat.

Considering this is the only voice cast the games gonna have, and how big of a get a new reveal for the next Kojima game is, my guess is that overshadowed the entire trailer having to be subtitled for the local audience.

Resident Evil 6 was the first game in the series to have a Japanese dub I believe. Don’t know why Capcom broke their streak, Resi was always meant to feel like a cheap American movie.
