Great Ace Attorney Chat: Case 2-2's placement is really baffling, even after beating both games I have no clue what's the point of the flashback. The plot does move forward after that case, however.

Maybe this is hopium but I feel like they're not done with the setting/cast of Great Ace Attorney, (actual huge ending spoilers for 2) Iris needs to find out who her parents are and have some kind of reconciliation with Barok.

Fingers crossed for Great Ace Attorney: Become Racist (i.e. the Barok spinoff)

is fire emblem engage a full new game or is it some weird full priced gacha game? only reason i ask is it seems to have every protagonist from past games a la a mobile gacha thing but it's also full priced, sooo

The previous Fire Emblem protags are basically just rpg summons. I think people got spooked because Fire Emblem Heroes exists and it looked like there was going to be a ring gacha but the only rng is for generic equipment?

Siralim is a thing of beauty. This is how pokemon games should be made. Instead of scraping the old pokemon and starting over just add 400 new ones on top of the already ridiculously bloated roster.

Twilight Princess is basically the diametric opposite of BOTW: elaborate dungeons, big setpiece bosses, very indulgent and bloated design. My tastes align way more with Twilight Princess than BOTW, but clearly I am outvoted by the masses :negative:

During the Bayonetta 3 release kefuffle I read a wiki summary of the plot and from that admittedly contextless view I'm not sure which part is the controversial part.


1) Bayonetta is straight and has a child
Seems bad at first but they go out of their way to say it's another universe's Bayonetta so "our" Bayonetta technically isn't locked into any relationship
2) Jeanne dies
Jeanne dies all the time
3) Bayonetta dies
I think she can come back? Maybe?

You guys know how some video games have copy protection so that say for example batman won't do his glide move if it's a pirated copy

Does Nintendo do anything like that? I want to make a joke about people pirating the mario movie but in their copy mario doesn't jump or something. But I need an example. God I'm so close to a really funny post

Earthbound famously crashed on the final boss if it detected a pirated game.

google result posted:

Having lots of enemies is annoying, but doesn’t make the game unplayable. So one final layer of protection was added to prevent pirates from fully enjoying the game – the game will freeze your game during the final battle with Giygas, delete all your save games, and then reset.

Don't know how this helps your joke though, sorry

I don't know the guy personally obviously so maybe I don't know him at all, but (more rape) expressing almost no regret over your friend raping your girlfriend beyond "yeah he's a real rear end in a top hat sometimes" is such a vacuously evil thing to do that it's hard to look at him the same way again.

That's how every console does it I'm afraid. Sony used to let you have five active PS3's at once but people kinda abused it and then they went to the primary secondary system they have now

The PS3/Xbox360 era was wild because companies did not value digital sales at all, I don't think they even bothered counting them. It took a moment for people to realize 'wait you can play entire games for free this way'

I doubt Advance Wars is a rare cart, in order for the price to go up legitimately (and not just from scammers buying and selling the same carts to each other) there needs to be high demand for a low printing. Like the Fire Emblem game with Ike or the special preorder version of Fire Emblem Fates that has all three games. Lots of Fire Emblem, actually.

AlphaDream went bankrupt so unfortunately not likely and Nintendo's insistence on keeping everything related to the Mario IP strictly controlled would probably just make them not have the charm they used to


The ones people liked are the first three

Cattail Prophet posted:

Literally everything after the first game is DS or later too, so don't expect more of them to hit the online service anytime soon either.

Ah right, anything DS/3DS is probably more effort than what they really want for NSO. I was asking because Alphadream being deceased doesn't seem to have stopped them from putting the first one (which I just beat) on the service.

Is it just me or is the power curve in that game kinda hosed, like as far as I can tell there is no real way of raising your defense/HP dramatically but your damage output and those of the bosses becomes ridiculous, so it's basically kill or be killed. It's kind of a shame there's no super hard bonus boss at the end.
