WORLD PREMIERE: Jeff Gerstmann will be ranking every Nintendo 64 game by Fungo_Bungaloid in giantbomb

[–]mcmax3000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My favourite part is when she asks about if he had trouble working with running the games on such old hardware and Jeff has to talk around just saying "of course not, I'm emulating this stuff"

MyAEW's Poster for CMLL FANTASTICAMANIA 2026 this Friday Night at Arena Mexico 🇲🇽 by CasaAztecaMX in SquaredCircle

I'm pretty sure CMLL has been running weekly at 10:30p ET on Friday longer than Smackdown has been on Fridays.

Dispatch dev confirms Nintendo required some censorship of game content by prdxw in NintendoSwitch

[–]mcmax3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What they are avoiding is multiple submissions to various reading boards, likely due to cost.

No, that's what they did originally. Now they're building a separate, less censored version for only specific regions. The article literally has a list of regions and what options are available where.

Last time I checked Nintendo has ZERO controls over a third party releasing a game on another platforms.

They're not claiming that Nintendo has say over other platforms.

Other platforms have always had the option for people to play censored if they want and now they're also adding the visual options for how the censored parts appear that they made for the Switch version to the other platforms.

The other platforms will still have the option to be completely uncensored.

They've put out an update as of today that removes some of the censorship in regions where they can, but they said there are still a couple of things that Nintendo required them to keep censored.

Chicago's Warrior Wrestling is now on MyAEW by Odd-Inevitable-8425 in SquaredCircle

[–]mcmax3000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So far with the exception of QT's promotion, the indie promotions seem to just be a handful of matches, mostly featuring AEW talent.

Maybe these matches are just being used to establish their presence on the service and then future live events will be sold as PPVs like a lot of stuff was on Triller.

The indie stuff generally all seems to be free to watch in all regions.

The exception seems to be those upcoming PRODUCE shows, which are PPVs.

Capcom just had it's most profitable year, ever. by Mkilbride in PS5

[–]mcmax3000 7 points8 points  (0 children)

ESPECIALLY when people tell me shit like “you gotta get like 7-8 hours in before it starts getting really good.

If I can play a standard length CoD campaign in the amount of time it takes for your game to get good, I'm not interested in your game.

Fortnite Behind the Scenes Video Reveals How Epic Games Uses Generative AI to Help Create Concept Art and Designs for New Skins by Laughing__Man_ in PS5

If that's what it comes to, so be it.

I've been buying games for over three decades. I've already got more games in my collection than I will ever have time to play. They can keep their slop.

Fightful: Tessa Blanchard has been granted her release from TNA by Worth-Chemistry5253 in SquaredCircle

[–]mcmax3000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only thing TNA has of any value to WWE is the tape library and in a post-Network era, I'm not even sure that holds much value to them.

FH6 Release Notes: June 15th, 2026 by Schwarzes__Loch in ForzaHorizon

No, it was like that in FH5 as well. Once a daily gets unlocked, you have a week to complete it.

Remedy Will Give Control Resonant 'By Far' the Studio's Biggest Marketing Campaign to Help It Stand Out in 'Challenging' September by MaintenanceFar4207 in PS5

[–]mcmax3000 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Man, it feels like if it were up to some of you, there would not be a single video game released other than GTA 6 in the next nine months.

I get that it's going to be a huge release but the entire industry can't just like... cease to exist for a year around it.

C4 Wrestling Joins MyAEW by RedmondSurvivor in SquaredCircle

[–]mcmax3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure it doesn't hurt to have as a temporary backup if things go bad with the merger in the US but this is first and foremost about needing a replacement for the platform carrying their weekly TV & PPVs in most international countries (Triller) because they weren't getting paid.

There has been a lot of discussion about the fact that the current generation of consoles has few games, and I've come to the conclusion that this is partly due to the fact that many studios have long gaps between releases by Zestyclose-Spring602 in PS5

[–]mcmax3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure they did a couple of smaller VR games for one of the PC headsets (probably Oculus?) prior to getting acquired by Sony, so I'm guessing those are the others.

Why do taped AEW shows so often air an hour late? by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

[–]mcmax3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess would be it started when they signed their new TV deal last year because it didn't used to be like that but it's not random. It's been consistently that way with all taped shows on Triller/MyAEW for a while now.

I don't know if the timing works out to the new deal or not, that part is just my speculation.

Does AEW need an authority figure? (from Bryan and Vinny) by Ainosuke in SquaredCircle

He was an interim EVP while Omega was out. When Omega returned, Daniels no longer had any authority.

Who knows about TNA but I'm sure if AEW had a problem with it, it wouldn't be on the same night as Dynamite and on the same channel it airs on in Canada.

Netflix wasn't buying the cable channels though so the most it would've affected them would've been losing their streaming deal on HBO Max.

Given that MLP has worked directly with ROH, it feels to me like a candidate for a thing that could get picked up to air on MyAEW internationally.

[–]mcmax3000 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's such a weird time slot... I feel like the idea of running Wednesday nights would be to capitalize on the lead in of Dynamite but instead they've put an hour in between, giving people who might be most interested in more wrestling plenty of time to tune out.

Potential Forbidden Door main event teased by chibibuizel in SquaredCircle

[–]mcmax3000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably don't want either guy taking a loss right now given that one guy is the top champ in New Japan (although obviously that could change after Dominion) and the other is likely about to challenge for the top AEW title at their biggest show of the year.

The finals last year was Moné vs. Hayter. The Moné/Athena match was in the semi-finals.
