One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."

Huh. I will have to check out the Skywalker Saga.

This has to be the first time we’ve had stock since launch. Any idea how many units they’ve sold? I don’t read Famitsu.

More than the Xbox One lifetime already, and last week was their highest week since launch.

This means that while number go up, number still embarassed by the Nintendo Switch, the official console of Japan

is there any point buying the 360 version of Lego Star Wars TCS now that the Skywalker Saga is out? I LOVED the original game and I see that this TCS is Lego Star Wars 1/2 ported to 360 but I’m wondering how the ports are! Thanks in advance. It’s like €3 at the moment. I’m under the impression that the Skywalker saga is a totally new game

It's a totally new game. TCS is also pretty different to the original releases in many ways too.

Basically TCS revamped all the vehicle levels from the original game to be in line with the sequel.

The original lego star wars was cool, I love the final stage because in co-op the game forces you to fight each other.

My understanding is based on Japanese message boards/the Japanese folk I know:

1) Game pass
2) Actually translating (and or doing it better) games for the market on the platform
3) Game Pass
4) PS5 having various problems, the series not being an embarassment
5) Game pass

it probably helps that the Xbox straight up has more japanese games than PlayStation now lol. of course that's only if we count BC poo poo but whatever. if you pick the fail station you get Nioh and the ff7 remake and that's it. both of which aren't even PS5 games so you could just keep your PS4 lol.

I imagine the ps5 will probably get a big jolt whenever ff16 comes out but yeah PS hasn't been the exclusive home of Japanese gaming for a while now cuz the Switch kinda took that over

Maybe? To be honest the general attitude is PS5 is dead* in Japan. Its not had one game sell over 200k units in Japan since its launch (the highest is Elden Ring at 127k) and I saw a thread popping up questioning the PS5 exclusivity for FF16 from a Japan perspective.

i think there was a weird period where it was kind of indeterminate in the US which is why you still hit circle to confirm in Metal Gear Solid 1

To further clarify, on PS4 you were allowed to choose which regions "X" rule you wanted to follow, whether Japan or other markets. On PS5 thats gone, Japan's X to cancel is not an option.

Let me tell you there was (and still is) many a thread of them trying to understand why its ok for X to be both correct and wrong in America, what the gently caress a checkmark is, and arguments about natural thumb placement for fastest menu navigation.

Edit: Sony had some idea early in the PS1's life that certain buttons would always queue certain actions and devs were going buck wild in the west with poo poo like triangle to cancel so it was all a horrible mess and the O/X split happened there.

Wow, does this require gold or anyone with an xbox account? That’s pretty huge. I imagine warzone once actiblizz is closed as well, maybe a way to juice the halo infinite playercount too?

Something as twitchy as warzone and halo might not work too good but could at least get people into cloud gaming.

I’ve heard conflicting reports from people within MS that they’re not going to do another console and it will be all azure based cloud stuff in the future but I dunno, I think it will just become part of the ecosystem with cloud/low end S/high end X being the norm. MS can definitely crank out specialized PCs for the S and X going forward.

Press stuff says you just need a MS account, an internet connection and to be in a country that has XCloud servers.

I suspect that Epic is throwing money at this to use it as a way to bypass the iOS App Store ban, which is just funny.

Ohhh yeah, that would make a heck of a lot of sense.

My son was bummed about that epic ban because he played it on his ipad. I will not tell him about this tho because fortnite sucks rear end.

Yeah it's weird the new NPB game (japanese baseball league) is only on switch now. It's like Playstation completely gave up on the market.
