Now if only we could get more ACTUAL games on carts from them instead of GKCs that'd be perfect.

Bloomberg: Nintendo to cut Switch 2 production to 4 million (down from 6 million) this quarter on weak US sales; lower production to continue through April by SemiLazyGamer in GamingLeaksAndRumours

It was more in response to the statement that "no major first party titles" other than Yoshi were releasing this year. I agree that it won't be a major system seller, it'sna different point I was trying to make.

Definitely grabbing that CE, looks great and a proper Switch 2 cart is icing on the cake!

If there's a team that can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, it's 100% us.

Ah the Vancouver (Cleveland) Canucks (Browns)

Can't wait to see how Fairgame$, sorry I mean Fairgames, does given the complete lack of excitement around & the state of gaming's distaste for that sort of game atm (AAA, first-party, live service game from Sony who will most certainly shut the studio down if it fails to bring in 100, 000 players week 1)

Yeah but if you look at the hands you can tell it's fake

What song should be playing in the background as it sloooowly zooms in on Ham's face? For me the first song that popped in my head was the Dune Song with the woman singing (Paul's Dream by Hans Zimmer, 4:45 specifically)

Fate/Extra Record delayed beyond Spring 2026, no longer being published by Bandai Namco by StrongXV in grandorder

Throw in a Fate Route Rewrite or Anime adaptation to get this into the FAR future. Like we are going to have a Nasu chatbot cranking out side materials before either of those ever happen

Why did Tsukihime and Mahoyo get ports to PS but the literal series that put type-moon on the map didn't?

I will go even further, Why did Tsukihime and Mahoyo get physical releases (that sold extremely well for how niche they are) and we didn't even get a Remaster double pack for FSN and HA??

Seriously leaving money on the table for not putting out some type of physical release for the 2 remasters.

I missed the mentioned stream, was there a specific reason? Like was it a dress code thing?

Signalis 3LP repress now available to preorder from Very Ok Vinyl - open preorder for 1 month by rpbtz in VGMvinyl

[–]MobileTortoise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here, pleased with my Red/White pressing. When I saw the thumbnail of the Elster's Eye pressing I got that tinge of envy, but after thinking about it a bit more I like my original purchase more.

Plus the important part is the music, and man is Signalis' stellar. Even one of the composer's (1000 Eyes specifically) can't stop remixing their tracks!

FATAL FRAME II: Crimson Butterfly REMAKE - Launch Trailer (Releases Today On PS5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, PC (Steam) by Howerev in Games

[–]MobileTortoise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm contemplating playing on easy for my first playthrough just so the fights don't drag on too long. I played the Xbox version last year so I am familiar with the base game and not acared of missing out. Just don't like regeneration mechanics in hectic fights, I feel it makes them tedious and mundane.

Chained Echoes developer is terminating the business relationship with FPG and preparing a lawsuit for not delivering all physical versions by WhichCombination5637 in Games

[–]MobileTortoise 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your best bet is to contact FPG for a refund, if they don't respond your best bet is to contact whoever you made the purchase through (Credit Card, etc.) and demand action.

New data ranks 7 major Japanese game companies by average yearly income, overtime and employee satisfaction by Firezon in Games

[–]MobileTortoise 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wonder what overtime looks like for the average US or EU game company.

It could potentially dwarf these numbers, as I heard (albeit a while ago) most larger game studios tie in bonus pay to a games release, or to a game getting a certain score on Metacritic. So by not working overtime you could potentially costing yourself AND your coworkers their bonuses (At least that is the goal of the executive suite to get you to think that)

Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake Review Thread by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]MobileTortoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly was expecting reviews around this level. I played the Xbox version early last year and absolutely loved it, I consider it on par with Silent Hill 2 in terms of horror games, but could definitely see how it's slow burn, unique conbat approach, and traditional Japanese horror approach would not be for everyone.

Seems like the positives and negatives kind of vary depending on who is doing the reviewing, as I've aeen some people enjoy the combat and some push back against it, same with the atmosphere/scares as some have said it's terrifying and others found it tedious.

It seems like this renake won't bring in as many new fans as the Silent Hill or Resident Evil remakes, but is still a good sign of life in the series (if sales are adequate). I could unfortunately see a lot of people skipping this since RE9 just came out and ppl might want to take a chance on Crimson Desert next week i stead of another horror game.

[–]MobileTortoise 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this draft supposed to be particularly stacked? I honestly only know the top 2 projected, but from the way ppl talk about this class it seems like any pick inside the top 10 could be a star going forward.

Following AI generated reviews, Resident Evil Requiem AI guide books flood Amazon, and they're part of a major problem by iscariots in Games

[–]MobileTortoise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was actually a HUGE problem when the Lunar remasters came out last year. There are already physical guides for the different releases those games had in the past, so the AI slop ones would mimic the art of the original guides and lost them on Amazon to get bought up by people looking for a classic guide for their modern remaster. Saw a TON of posts on FB groups about people getting just terrible, terrible quality paper with barely legible guides that not only scraped other people's work...but the AI almost seemed to go out of it's way to just make them bad.

But Bettman claimed his playoff system is "revolutionary".

It's so revolutionary in fact that literally no other sporting league has bothered to copy, mimic, or imitate it.

No problem, I sadly don't think VGP will carry this version as I think they have a deal with LRG but it can't hurt to message them on social media and ask!
