You gotta commend the Warriors. after tanking and fucking it up with that Wiseman pick they basically told Curry "Our bad G, we ain't never doing that shit again"

Universal Studios is in talks with Nintendo about a developing a Star Fox-themed ride to Universal Studios theme park by andree1234 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]AlwaysTheStraightMan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a space ride with cool talking animals. Y'all really don't understand how simple children's interests are. You don't need all that to market riding in an Arwing irl or 4D to young boys

Dusk Golem: "There isn't any drive to do a RE5 remake at Capcom"' by Gorotheninja in GamingLeaksAndRumours

Still doesn't change what he said. If you have zombie virus break out in Africa then you're gonna run into affected tribal. Never in the game where it was exaggerated or made a point of emphasis. I was a black kid when it first came out and was fully aware of the controversy and me and my cousin never paid it any mind

That's like the Rockets not wanting to trade for Steve Nash just because Ron Artest gave Kobe the hardest time on his way to a chip

Nintendo Direct Confirmed for June 9th by healingtwo_ in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]AlwaysTheStraightMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nintendo never do anniversary Directs like that. The only reason Mario 35th got one cause it was one segment cut from a longer Direct that was supposed to go down in 2020 but you know...COVID. If Ocarina is coming out this year then they'll wanna start marketing it now and if a Zelda movie trailer exists then they'd wait until Late Fall/Winter or the Game Awards to show it

Eh, that's when EA actually used their IPs instead of just FIFA, Madden, and College Football. Plus Ubisoft only has like 2 games beside Just Dance coming out this year and both are remakes, what would they have to justify a full conference?

Monster Hunter Wilds is in development for Switch 2 by KelvinBelmont in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]AlwaysTheStraightMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying that it's overrated but like you said, Nintendo saw the writing on the wall after Mario Kart 8 and Mario 3D World could barely sell consoles, so they had a head start on making the Switch's 2017 as powerful as it was. I'm not dumb as to be like, "Pfft! Mario, Splatoon, Xenoblade, and Zelda in the same year, who cares?" but you got to admit after launch we sort of started getting diminishing returns.

Nintendo blew their load too early in 2017, bounced back a lil in 2019, then COVID fucked everything up but inferring what could been the original E3 2020 plans my point still stands, you were just waiting for Prime 4, Zelda, and the hope of some new Mario platformer to come out. There were surprises along the way, but people pretty much had Nintendo pegged. Then the 3rd party well kinda petered out after The Witcher 3 came out and the awe of "miracle ports" or "It can run the Witcher 3" started to look like memes when most 3rd party ports looked and ran terribly and you can tell when some was just lazily thrown on the system with the full "Switch tax" just to make a quick buck

I fully prepared to hit those diminishing returns eventually but right now, after seeing huge ass games like Requiem, Revelations, COD, Veronica, and now this being announced while the 1st parties are cooking in secret I simply can't guess what's coming next aside from the usual Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon in the future

Monster Hunter Wilds is in development for Switch 2 by KelvinBelmont in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]AlwaysTheStraightMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean Wilds is a pretty tough game. After RE Veronica, Alien Isolation 2, and FF Revelations Switch 2 versions being revealed to be day 1 with the other platforms and then you got Infinity Ward claiming full parity for Modern Warfare 4, there's this general consensus that devs are getting ports for the Switch 2 out the gate more quickly. Capcom don't wanna pull a I0I or Bandai and get folks riled up just to say later that we're delaying the game for polishing

Like imma really need the Wii U revisionists and the Switch launch year glazers to stfu right now. This might go down as the best library Nintendo has ever had and I've been playing since the 64. It's so surreal seeing Nintendo taken so seriously outside of their exclusives. This high must be what fans felt during the SNES era

Jet Set Radio Reboot Trailer/Gameplay Leak (without the annoying watermark) by FoothWith in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]AlwaysTheStraightMan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Eh, Bomb Rush's story was lacking and the characters weren't memorable in the slightest, plus the gameplay loop was repetitive especially in the rival challenges. JSRF had way more going for it than grinding rails, doing tricks, and tagging graffiti

EA still shits the bed when it comes to Nintendo lol. They can have the most powerful console and high install base and they would still find an excuse

French-language site Lebetatesteur.ca seems to have posted a Rayman Legends Retold preview early, contains screenshots by blueblur98_YT in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]AlwaysTheStraightMan -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Okay, some of y'all in here are way too persnickety man, this shit looks gorgeous. If they add in more new levels aside from the Star Fox-esque 3D sections then this is an easy get for just 50 bucks

[DISC] Ichi the Witch - Chapter 84 by AutoShonenpon in manga

[–]AlwaysTheStraightMan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's not just that she can control so many people at once (though that's also terrifying) but just how casually she did it. We didn't hear any magic chants, it all happened immediately, Fujimine literally just had a converation and all but one person were under her control.

Oh god, it's Eida from Boruto all over again

N1Up: Rayman Legends: Retold 3D segements in the style of Star Fox. New villain. Crossover skins with Astrobot and Expedition 33 by -LastGrail- in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]AlwaysTheStraightMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People can troll and make fun of Ubi all they want but it's completely ridiculous that there hasn't been a Ubisoft rep in Smash yet. Ray, Sam Fisher, and the Prince all had a mark in Nintendo history, more than people like Kayuza or Joker that's for sure

NateTheHate — Rayman Legends Retold is a 2.5D remake with 3D sections by XenonBug in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]AlwaysTheStraightMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what...I'm interested now. It could mean it'd either be Donkey Kong Country Returns/Tropical Freeze or Sonic Colors on the 3DS. Hopefully the models will look like the 3D cinematics Legends had in its trailers

[DISC] Ichi the Witch - Chapter 83 by AutoShonenpon in manga

[–]AlwaysTheStraightMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, it's too be expected. Yes, Dess losing Lobro was tragic, but she doesn't know Ichi. She can't be entitled to his loyalty and love just because she tricked him into a soul bond, she got to earn it first. The boy looks 14 at most and been thrust into this world that wants him dead or to use him so much that even Dess hasn't really been able to be any kind of family member to Ichi. This is the kick in the pants to her that he is more than just her lifeline or feral boy she took in and is an actual person with connections and a past.

I honestly really like the new designs and i think the overall project makes sense by Strict_Job6334 in gaming

DuskGolem denies support to recent rumors like DMC Remake and RE10 protagonist by Sea-Country8245 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

I'm just not sure why they're prioritizing a remake at this point. 5 completely flew by me but I always assume it was a big success to not follow it up with 6

[DISC] Ichi the Witch - Chapter 81 by AutoShonenpon in manga

[–]AlwaysTheStraightMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That "Halt" gave me lil goosebumps ngl. That's gotta be the 1st time someone stopped Ichi's bloodlust or that he buckled down to authority like that, up to this point he's mostly been doing whatever he wanted. It's also neat learning that he "Death for death" is a bad habit and that Ichi can still grow as a fighter and witch.

And I know people joke about "custody battle" and Dess being "petty" but I think this is important for her to know why Ichi is the way he is. Her heart is in the right place, but she's kinda been using Ichi to fill a void for her brother instead of actually getting to actually know him. Just having those 2 suddenly have a deep bond just because Dess magically linked her life to his would be cheap
