Project Triangle Strategy is a good on the nose name but whenever I try to remember what it's called I keep thinking it's called Project Triangle Shirtwaist Factory.

It's also canonical that inklings aren't the brightest bulbs.

Like not being able to tell that Marina is an octoling, their ancient enemies.

Oh, yes. Like the whole deal with the story mode special weapon skins is that Sheldon gives the blueprints to the folks at the factory who can't figure them out so they just make a cosmetic variant on an existing weapon.

Here are other two non-Crayon Shin Chan trailers from the Japanese version of the Direct, for posterity's sake:

eBaseball Professional Baseball Spirits 2021: Grand Slam, the latest in Konami's long line of Japanese Baseball sims.

The Caligula Effect 2 is the successor to the low-budget Vita RPG and its PS4/Switch/Steam remake that nobody here seemed to like.

The best way to think of it is probably like the Yakuza games, where they blatantly reused the same map over and over again but kept cramming it full of more and more locations and activities to an insane degree.

The game literally tells you for the objectives that letting that one character die is a game over because the goal of that mission is that you can’t let that character die. Literally the whole point is you’re escaping so he can live.

Oh no, the horrendous game design of you not reading the win/lose conditions for a fight.

Well we are only used to the poor "strategy" of fire emblem 3 houses. Don't have overpowered bullshit in this to just sleepwalk through the game.

I POSTED WHAT NOW!?

Walla posted:

And the Direct made it seem like there would be multiple storylines. I'm really hoping that's the case and we end up with like 3 main paths but only if the story can stay good.

I watched the direct to see where this claim is coming from. The direct shows that there’s multiple storylines because you can change the path the story will take. For example, in the demo there’s a big choice you can make, I haven’t played it again so see what happens if you make the other choice, but the story would drastically change.

The trailer showed combat/story all from the perspective of the one house. There’s a clear main character as well.

I mean, I see how people can think there might be more storylines but watching the trailer again and having played the demo. I can safely predict it’s going to solely focus on you playing as the one party and the game shows all the side schemes happening around you as you play. I’m willing to eat a week long probation in making the claim you won’t play as anyone other than the party from the demo.

I really hope they do something interesting with Tarrey Town, since it represents the first 'new' settlement in the recovered Hyrule. It could develop into a sprawling city or have some sort of technological advantage over the rest of Hyrule.

they really need to stop adding anime swordfighters to smash and add some more interesting characters who had a huge impact in the history of videogames. what I'm say is, where's Doomguy/Doom Slayer? c'mon Betheseda and Nintendo you cowards. I want to Rip 'n' Tear and then fire the BFG9000 in Smash! :black101:

It partly feels like a Nintendo push to solidify Xenoblade as not only a series and their series.
I guess X2 sold over 2 million copies so it's not exactly a niche title but compared to the pantheon they could be pulling from I still have to figure it's a little self-serving.

Platinum really seems to have gone off the boil in the last two years. Since Astral Chain all they've done is release teasers for games with no release in sight (and had another try at getting people to like TW101). They must have really overstretched themselves with the number of projects they took on at once.

Wonderful 101 is a holy game

I haven't really enjoyed a 3D Zelda since Majora's Mask and I'm not sure why. Skyward and Twilight felt a bit too on rails early on and BOTW is kind of the opposite. Maybe I need a good medium.

Octopath Traveler was in the same boat and then they kept the name. I like the name Octopath Traveler. I am sure Triangle Strategy will grow on me as well, so I'm cool with whatever they decide on. Except Pyramid Scheme, I guess.

So at 2pm central time yesterday I was poised to get the pins, refreshing the page... and the power went down again from the storms. Beautiful trolling from mother nature. Somehow this morning I was able to just log on and get them anyway?? I would have bet everything that the supply of those pins was limited. Very happy to be wrong about that.

Catching up on the direct... stoked for Legend of Mana and the Famicom Detective games. Mario Golf looks good when it hits $40 in a sale someday, likewise Skyward Sword. Project Triangle and World's End Club are right up my alley as well, but I'm minimizing purchases this year. Splatoon 3 is a day one purchase if it improves on 2 as much as 2 did on 1 - and yes, a Borderlands-style splatoon game would be awesome.

Miitopia isn't going to set the world on fire but I was playing it in 3DS and it was drat funny. Not going to repurchase, but if they make a demo, try it out!

I liked Skyward Sword, but while I’m not exactly clamoring for a re-release Id prefer getting it over games that already got Wii U and 3ds remakes, especially when a switch rerelease would just be removing all two-screen features and being downgrades.
