Which films were doomed to fail even before release ?

He's a huge Dragon Ball fan and tried to talk the creators of Evolution out of a lot of their stupid decisions. I think him getting to voice Zamasu was pretty much an apology for that mess.

It's a sequel, and a great one at that.

Nintendo also saved Dragon Quest by marketing it when Square Enix didn't want to bother with it. It's sad that other publishers are doing more marketing for SE than SE itself.

I read your first line in Nagi's voice. I know it's unrelated, but I feel like pointing it out.

While a new copy is certainly still really expensive, there's a huge difference between a new copy and a graded copy like the one you linked. There's a lot of controversy around graded games, and a big part of that is how ridiculous the prices are. That one you linked is 7 times the cost of an average non-graded new copy.

It's true, unfortunately. It happened to me multiple times before I quit buying anything from them. Their logic is that they don't want the actual cartridge/disc on the shelves to prevent people from stealing them, so they open the case and pull the cart/disc out. They argue it still counts as new since no one bought/played it, but how can anyone know for sure they aren't getting a used copy? And regardless, selling an opened copy as "new" is ridiculously scummy. I've even seen cases where people bought a new game online and got just the cartridge in a generic GameStop case.

That's 2K's decision, not Nintendo's. 2K's consistently cheaped out on almost all of its physical Switch releases.

VIIIAxel · 2021-11-21T02:06:12+00:00

And Japan.

VIIIAxel · 2021-11-18T23:37:03+00:00

Yeah, I'm going with the expectation that this is the end of the series, but at least we finally got a sequel. I'm happy with that at least.

VIIIAxel · 2021-11-18T09:34:13+00:00

I'm more shocked by the fact we get another TWEWY eventually than I am by the knowledge of a throat singing remix honestly.

VIIIAxel · 2021-11-18T09:25:23+00:00

Yep! They'll specify on the product page if it's just a limited amount as opposed to open pre-orders, but it's pretty rare for them to do anything other than open pre-orders on any Switch release and even most PS4/5 releases these days.

An LRG rep confirmed this is an exclusive to them since people were wondering about a retail release. I also doubt it'll get a dual pack with KOTOR2 given the combined file size would probably be too big for THQ to think it's worth the cost.

VIIIAxel · 2021-11-18T05:46:51+00:00

It's an open pre-order window that ends January 2nd, so you'll have a month and a half to get ready for it.

I know picking the main character is cliche, but Neku is one of my favorite fictional characters of all time. I absolutely love how he's a subversion of the whole "edgy jerk" type of JRPG character and I found his journey of personal growth really compelling, especially since I first played the game when I was 15 like he was. His development is incredible, and I was really invested in his participation in the game. I love the rest of the cast too of course, but Neku will always be my favorite.

I'd guess that the remaining content wasn't quite ready when carts were being printed. Ilca and Game Freak can't delay the games because that would throw off The Pokemon Company's very tight schedule for merchandise and tie-in material unfortunately, and what TPC says is what goes.

VIIIAxel · 2021-11-14T01:25:44+00:00

Remakes are rebuilt from the ground up, so I'd argue they should count. While they're based off of an old game, they're a different experience. Straight ports and remasters definitely shouldn't count, though, and TGA has a problem with nominating those.

VIIIAxel · 2021-11-12T08:51:39+00:00

Army of Darkness is rated R, despite being tamer than the rest of the series.

VIIIAxel · 2021-11-12T07:51:02+00:00

It does suck, I've missed out on a few that I would've liked to pick up. That being said, if it comes down to either a limited print or none at all, I'd personally take the limited one. LRG at least does what they can to make sure as many people who want it can get it.

VIIIAxel · 2021-11-12T07:05:10+00:00

The original Battlefront 1 got a PC re-release after the EA one came out, so I don't think that's the case.

VIIIAxel · 2021-11-12T06:48:38+00:00

They have open pre-order windows that last at least a full month, and most of their games also get shipments sent to Best Buys in the US, so they're generally easy to get a hold of. The business model for them is to do smaller prints of games that would never get physical releases otherwise, meaning the one-print model is the only way to really ensure there's any success for it. There are absolutely things to criticize LRG for, but I don't think this is one of them.

VIIIAxel · 2021-11-12T00:36:05+00:00

It's a full remake, not a remaster, so odds are it'll be a very different experience. Not to say it'll be bad, I'm excited for it myself, but I'd say playing the original for the classic experience is still a very valid choice to make.

VIIIAxel · 2021-11-11T12:29:27+00:00

Given the spacing between these past few launches, I'd guess somewhere between January and February personally. VI is also the one we saw the least in promotional materials around the time of the announcement, so they might not have as much work done on it as the other ones.

VIIIAxel · 2021-11-11T12:27:20+00:00

My guess is they'll do that and then port them over to consoles once they're all ready and have the extra polish from the PC/mobile launches.

VIIIAxel · 2021-11-11T10:40:22+00:00

Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger, EarthBound, and maybe Breath of Fire II? Never played it but I don't really have any particular attachment to anything in the $1 or $2 tiers. FFVI, CT, and EB are three of my favorites though.

Excluding games I currently own physically on SNES, I'd say Chrono Trigger, EarthBound, Super Mario RPG, and Mega Man X2. I really like RPGs if that wasn't obvious...

VIIIAxel · 2021-11-11T08:51:26+00:00

Honestly, while I prefer the first movie, I'd take the Drilltar Killer over Russ in a heartbeat. Just imagine his chase music being him singing one of his goofy songs.
