So they decided to put it on the new gen consoles about 2 years ago. My guess would be that if it were all possible to see this game released in Japan next year it’d be probably around the holiday season…or more than likely first half of 2016. If they have enough confidence at this point to put out demo for this game next year, then I can see this happening. Of course that’s unless Nomora kicks the door in on the dev studio and is like ‘I MUST BE LOSING IT…YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH ZIPPERS!!! ORRRRAAAAA!!!’. That or Toriyama forces them to replace everyone with Lightning at the last second…whichever happens first.

Japanese sales for Sept 8th to Sept 14th

Smash and Destiny came out and both topped the charts with Smash blowing away everything. There wasn’t as big of a boost in 3DS hardware sales surprisingly BUT the release of Destiny pushed PS4 to the 2nd spot and effectively takes over Wii U sales again in the process by nearly 3 times as much. Xbone sales have dropped considerably…putting it above the PSP and right below the PS3. Naruto also debuted pretty well but not enough to overtake Yokai Watch…which Smash and Destiny were able to pull off.

I heard your Vita was lacking in the ninja boobs department. That will be fixed on Oct. 14th.

Also seems that Bayo 2 is starting to hit the streets in Japan? There’s a combo vid already

Hmmm just found out Hyrule Warriors reviews are out early, very rare that Nintendo lets reviews out before release right?

Not really. I’m actually surprised the average reviews for Hyrule Warriors are what they are. I was fully expecting far worse shitting on the game.

That Halo 2 map vid. (also dem Gungooses aaaaa)
Oh shit.

LIKE IT’S 2004 ALL OVER AGAIN

I’m still not personally a fan of any tweaks 343 finds it necessary to make to Halo 2. Re-skin it and dont touch shit on the multiplayer. They put mongeese in, which didnt exist until Halo 3, and then they put guns on them to boot. they also put a shield on the center of that one map with a silver indented bowl which was a close quarters war zone to keep the people outside from shooting into it. Every time they change something I like it less and less. Halo 2 multiplayer was a legend because of what it was. You dont alter a legend thinking you are making it better. You leave it alone and feel grateful you had the chance to work with it. People dont want change. They want their childhood/teenage years on current gen consoles with upgraded netcode and extremely high res graphics. They want the convenience of it. They dont want a patched version.

I guarantee you within the first week of Halo 2HD, people will be clamoring for a “classic” version of MP without any of the added gameplay shit.

Except they won’t because 343 have already explicitly added game options which are just the classic multiplayer for each game/map.

You don’t put yourself in debt to work in an artistic medium so you can just “Re-skin” a project that’s been handed to you without addind your own artisting input to said project.

Granted the points Ive brought up arent really too huge, but I REALLY dont like the one about adding a dome a shield to the center of Ascension. If they find themselves at liberty to mess with map flow and fire zones like that who knows what they will do with other maps.

And what you say is true. But in that admission you must also realize a flaw in your argument. Whenever you are tasked with restoring something of once high renown, it must be as it once was 100%. While you are technically free to add some small things here and there in an attempt to improve upon historic greatness, there is also an element of potential failure that cannot be undone.

Remember when that old lady fucked up restoring a Fresco depiction of Jesus?

I’m just saying that while 343 is technically free to add a thing here or there, it is incredibly likely that they fuck something up and piss people off. The more things I see in Halo 2 that werent originally there, the more it starts to look like a botched Jesus restoration. It’s all im saying.

People who whine over things like this are not who gaming companies ever make money off of. So they never listen to those sorts.

You gonna be just another stereotype-laden “purist”, or are you going to play and not talk?

Today (in Japan anyway) is Nintendo’s 125th birthday. Would love to see a Direct of their history.

Why waste money with the live action when that money could be invested in making the game run smoother or play better?

Because video games are a business first and foremost, sorry Po Pimpus companies don’t work for free.

There’s a listing on Gamestop and Amazon Canada for BioShock Infinite: The Complete Edition.

Because investing half the money you blew on that live action trailer couldnt go into the game while you make a cheaper, gameplay focused trailer…

:coffee:

Or do both . No point in optimizing a game if no one knows about it.

What?
