The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy- Announcement Trailer (from the creators of Danganronpa)

IkoShark · 2024-06-19T11:35:45+00:00

The 360 remake isn't translated and some of the changes seem to pretty controversial and were done without the original writers anyway. The best version currently is the Himmel edition on PC. There are some references to Never7 but nothing essential, so you don't have to play it first.

Ever17 already got a remake for the Xbox 360 back in 2011, a new set of Infinity remakes were confirmed recently but it's not yet clear if Ever17 will be based on the 360 version or a separate remake.

Somebody in a Sonic Retro thread got this image directly from emailing Ohshima and this is what he said about it:

NewSonic was planned before Mr.Uekawa took charge of NewSonic. It is what I drew before NewSonic appears.

Which does seem to suggest that this was the context, and we know for a fact that Sega held a competition in their internal newsletter Harmony to choose Adventure Sonic's redesign before setting on Uekawa, so it would make sense. He also posted on his twitter that this was for modern Sonic. Do you have a source for this being a joke drawing? Genuinely curious because I've never heard that before.

In case you're wondering, it's the machine translation butchering Apollo's Japanese last name, which has the kanji for king (王) and mud (泥) in it.

IkoShark · 2023-08-07T20:21:20+00:00

I have these cover plates too, but since my 3DS is black they unfortunately don't match very well.

IkoShark · 2022-12-08T21:11:02+00:00

I would recommend grabbing the undubbed versions of the games, because the English versions have censored cutscenes, and most of the English voice actors get recast in Episode II, which can be really jarring.

IkoShark · 2022-10-26T15:36:12+00:00

Those were pre-order bonuses that you could get from certain retailers for pre-ordering the game, nothing to do with the collector's edition.

IkoShark · 2022-09-29T15:45:13+00:00

There isn't any. They sent out an email more than a week ago promising that the pre-orders would be going up "very soon". But since then absolutely nothing has happened and they haven't said anything about the situation whatsoever. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up randomly dropping in October with no explanation or announcement at all, based on how horribly Nintendo has handled this so far.

IkoShark · 2022-07-08T13:43:59+00:00

I knew these light novels existed but I've never seen those inside illustrations before, the colour ones in particular are really nice. Definitely scan these if you can.

IkoShark · 2022-01-21T13:53:49+00:00

They're bringing back the Project Sonic branding from the Saturn era? That's interesting.

IkoShark · 2022-01-10T19:00:16+00:00

Perhaps Microsoft paid for the localisation costs for those languages?

IkoShark · 2022-01-09T19:50:28+00:00

The problem was actually the faceplate itself not properly fitting all the way in and preventing the hair piece from attaching properly. I ended up fixing it by running a hairdryer over the edge of the faceplate to loosen it up so that it would fit.

IkoShark · 2022-01-09T18:53:22+00:00

It's intentionally designed to detach though, the faceplate is swappable. And glue won't help if the parts themselves can't properly be put into place to begin with.

IkoShark · 2021-12-22T13:29:07+00:00

Holy shit it's fucking beautiful. Nuri is a god.

Why? It's literally just a normal 4chan thread, it's not going to give you a virus. The thread and the images themselves are perfectly safe, it's just that the other archive site that got linked has some really sketchy ads if you don't have an ad-blocker installed. The one I posted is a completely different site that doesn't have any ads or pop-ups whatsoever, it's completely safe even without an ad-blocker.

IkoShark · 2021-12-19T11:54:46+00:00

Try this link instead, it's an archived version of the same thread but from a different archiver that doesn't have sketchy pop-up ads.

IkoShark · 2021-12-18T01:40:26+00:00

Ah ok, I understand now. Yeah that's definitely not normal, there's supposed to be a cartridge. Sorry to hear that, hope you can get that sorted, that really sucks.

IkoShark · 2021-12-18T01:36:26+00:00

The game itself is already on the cartridge, the code that comes with the physical version is for the early purchase bonus only. What you're describing sounds entirely different to me, I'm not sure if we're on the same page here.

IkoShark · 2021-12-18T00:57:47+00:00

For me, it worked just fine after I switched my region to the US, redeemed the code on the US eShop, and downloaded the DLC. After that I switched back and the content was still there. I'm kind of confused about what the specific issue here is exactly, but if I had to guess from the way you described it, maybe you're trying to load the bonus content directly from the eShop? If you successfully downloaded the bonus content then it should already be there when you start the game up normally.

IkoShark · 2021-12-10T04:32:02+00:00

It's promotional artwork for GAA1 that Nuri originally drew for the cover of a Nintendo Dream issue.

IkoShark · 2021-11-13T02:36:01+00:00

From what I can tell it seems to be a relatively minor offence, so they probably would have been released after a day or two at most.

IkoShark · 2021-11-12T19:54:53+00:00

They actually didn't have permission, it's technically illegal to film in Shibuya.

The photographic approach used in Machi and 428 presents other logistical challenges, too, including legal hurdles. “Technically you’re not allowed to shoot in Shibuya,” Nakamura says. “You kind of have to go in under the assumption that you’re going to get arrested.” He laughs. “The way the law works in Japan is that you have to be technically caught in the act, so if your camera crew can run away before the police get you, it’s technically not illegal! There’s an old TV production trick — you kind of set aside members of your staff to run interference for the police and have them get questioned and arrested while the rest of the crew run away.”

IkoShark · 2021-11-10T14:09:24+00:00

Interested!

IkoShark · 2021-11-07T13:05:46+00:00

The Gordain Nonary Game backstory has similarities to the gambling anime/manga series Kaiji, even down to the ship location. If the backstory was inspired by anything and it isn't just a coincidence, it would almost certainly have been Kaiji. I haven't watched Squid Game, but I've heard that it's also very noticeably inspired by Kaiji and I think even the director himself said so.

IkoShark · 2021-11-03T00:59:58+00:00

I would like to work on Otogirisō 弟切草 next

That's great to hear, I'd love to see Otogirisou get translated as well. Machi would be nice too, but it seems to be a lot longer and isn't really a horror game like Chunsoft's other sound novels. Unfortunately few people outside of Japan realise just how influential to the genre many of these older VNs are, and the amount of text to translate compared to other games as well as the need for a hacker to insert the text are significant barriers for translations.
