It doesn't take much effort for them to add a GBA rom to the online store. But localizing that ROM would be kinda... weird.

They've done it before. It'd take a bit more effort than, say, Magical Drop II's localisation, but there does very much exist a complete localisation of the game that they could pay to use if they don't feel like doing it in-house.

A chunk of Rare Replay relied on the Xbone's backwards-compatibility system to play the Xbox 360 games and ports, so it wasn't ever hugely likely since it'd require a human to brave the Perfect Dark Zero codebase again.

I have a morbid curiosity to see how Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts would run on the Switch because that game ran like poo poo on an Xbox 360 and isn't the most stable game on an Xbox One.

Are people just doing a bit when they're upset at games being added to NSO and they say they're just going to have to add them all over again on the next system? They're not actually thinking that's what's going to happen right I thought everyone agreed the service was just going to continue onto the next Switch.

Multiplayer and possible procgen have me wary, Endless Ocean is very much a vibes based game and that is not the vibe I come to it for. Hopefully that stuff is mostly ignorable. Ideally it's not actually procgen at all and "every dive is different" is just their way of saying that all these different biomes are somehow contained within the same locale instead of having you globetrotting like the previous game.

SMTVV is a whole new purchase. In it, there's a new route that they say changes dramatically from the middle of the game with a completely different ending. When you start SMTVV you have the option to play the original route or the new story.

If you played SMTV on the switch and buy SMTVV on the same system you can import 3 demons from your save file.

I wonder if they're going to 'fix' anything from MonHun Stories. The second one introduced a bunch of QoL stuff that the first sorely lacked. I just remember getting a little frustrated while playing the first.

It's even worse if you consider this version, not locked to the switch, will run significantly better barring a total fuckup on Atlus' end.

When it came out on iOS I was super excited but fell off pretty quick.. Though I'm not sure if it was the lack of stylus, or just having put in so many hours on the 3DS.

Is there any chance your save file would be compatible with the new version? If so maybe you could sell the original to offset the price of the new one.

Unless...oh no! You didn't buy digitally, did you :ohdear:

apparently it isnt

that remake was funny because it was free, and theoretically a LLM/chatbot thing isn't like, the shittiest idea for a text parser game but it had better be extremely reliable


also that it was the first english remake of, one of the most influential games ever made, and they did it that way
