This is what I was thinking too. But I also highly doubt it. Maybe mid September? Theyâve done a September direct almost every year since 2012

Item Pot farming for (Light/Dark) Class 3/Class 4 ultimate equips was a PITA, IMO, especially if you wanted to make the most of your (initial) NG playthrough with minimal farming for more Gold/Rainbow Item Seeds in post-game, besides having a decent stock of Class 3 change items (Light/Dark), which really is only applicable for your initial party group members in subsequent NG+ playthroughs, should you roll with any of them again. Unused/carryover Item Seeds (especially ??? Seeds) in NG+ for a different chars party is a potentially FUBAR scenario due to RNG stuffs related to the item pool availability for whatever (individual) seed.
I ended up scouting/sniping through stacks of accrued Item Seed drops (Silver/Gold/Rainbow) for C3 and C4 equips to minimize any extra farming to some extent, despite the time needed to chart results and save/reload file stuffs. Being able to manipulate the item slot for whatever seed, in spite of the predetermined item roll, was the only saving grace of the endeavor, IMO.
??? Seeds for Class 3 change stuffs was kinda all over the place, and if not for the âMagic 6â ??? Seeds you can use for a full C3 LIght/Dark change set relative to your party/chars classes, have fun dealing with lolz results of unwanted multis/duplis in trying to get what you need (Shoutouts to that one guy who got 5 Brisingamen in a row!)
But at least Sony got games lined up with their launch (Killer games), Xbox has nothing.
I had 15 of Duranâs best helmet, 8 of Hawkeyeâs best Daggers, 7 of Reiszâs best spear and an ungodly amount of the best non-character specific accessory Iâm not even going to attempt to spell. Lol
I reloaded quick saves and hard saves hella too. Shit was mad frustrating But I eventually got everything I needed with 40+ gold and rainbow seeds (each) to carry over to NG+
My NG+ Iâm gunna roll Kevin(Protag)/Angela/Charlotte.
I was thinking of rerolling the same team as my initial play though but choosing a different protag (Duran was my Protag) but I felt thatâd be way too boring and I donât care enough about their dark classes to play through with the same party again just to see them. I know I could use my Goddess Scales but I donât really want to
I think I just dove into the world of DMG Game Boy Modding.
Just ordered a old OG DMG Game Boy from eBay.
Seller said the speaker is missing too, that is a easy fix, specially since I just ordered an audio amp mod for the DMG. I also ordered a replacement power board to replace the 30+ year old power regulator board with something a bit more modern. Only reason I ordered this particular DMG Game Boy as it already has the IPS screen installed, and its cheaper than getting the DMG GB and the Screen mod kit separately.

this preview pic just reminds me again of the painful lack of Wario starring in his own game. Itâs a damn shame, man. The Gamecube game was the last major one, if I recall⌠I donât care about the Wariorware shit; I want a full action/adventure type of thing starring Wario again.
On another noteâDiablo 3 adventuresâha, after hitting a âpowerâ pylon, I hit one monster with a 6 trillion critical damage a little while ago. The damage in this game is just disgusting.

Wario has an adventure game on the Wii as well called Wario Land Shake-It!! But that was his last solo adventure before relegating him to Wario Ware and Mario X Activity games
I wish Alpha Dream was still around. They did all the Mario and Luigi RPGâs on the DS/3DS. I would have loved to see them tackle a Wario and Waluigi based RPG. It would have been amazingly funny.

Looks what else they did
No, they deserve Bankruptcy. Just for the Sonic/Mario Crossover game sequil no one wanted, and there greater sin, not releasing Tomato Adventure in the West.
No. They didnt. Shut the fuck up.
Also, fun fact: most of those Olympic Games are pretty good but most the time they get passed over due to them coming off as shove ware. Which theyâre not.

They could not balanced their cost with their sales, they did it to themselves.
Also Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020
Nothing Fun about the fact that it is Shovel ware. Itâs still Shovel ware, even if you found it entertaining.
It was more to it than that. Nintendo kept not giving them projects when they needed it. Despite my loving Bowsers Inside Story it was a title that didnât need to be remastered as the 3DS is BC.
Alpha Dream was more-or-less an unofficial 2nd party developer for Nintendo as they had only worked on Nintendo titles whether it be creating or contributing for almost 20 years.
Nintendo not supporting them when they needed it throughout the years contributed to their bankruptcy in a huge way.
This is horse shit considering Wii Sports is shovelware yet it was one of the most beloved games of the Wiiâs entire console life. And not because it came bundled with the system.
Just Dance is glorified shovel ware yet it sells millions of copies every year on every platform itâs been on including last years edition which was also for the fucking Wii.
Alpha Dream gave me some of my favorite games of all time. I was fucking devastated when I heard they closed their doors. So donât give that ignorant ass bullshit of âthey deserved itâ cause you think one game they helped develop and one you likely never played is a bad game.
Fuck you.

Who said I never played it, I just felt it was shit. I did played Sonic and Mario at the Olympics 2020, I even sorta like the story mode it had. Game play was absolute trash, and I still give it a low rating because of that. Like I set my expectations low and knew what to expect with game play, and I was still disappointed. If you ever played a old PC track and field game in the 80s, you played Sonic and Mario at the Olympics, same style game play same energy. At least they wrote an amusing story mode.
The one thing I felt Alpha Dream did right most of the time, they can craft a good story.
And shovel ware is still shovel ware, Having Just Dance sold millions of copies only proves appealing to the lowest common denominator sells products. Quality do not equal popularity. Look at all the mobile games on iOS and Android, most are absolute shit, yet they are popular.
They did, they made their beds, and now they had to lay in it. it may or may not be their fault Nintendo shit in their bed, but they signed the contracts. They couldnât balance their budgets.
You arenât my type sweetie.
Alpha Dream did not make those excellent Mario & Luigi games for it only to get mocked for a Mario and Sonic game on the 3DS. Iâm with Stu hardcore on this. Please STFU Darksakul.

Cool story Bro 
They are gone now, get used to it.
Also if you noticed, I liked their earlier work it had a je ne sais quoi quality.
Their later stuff seems uninspired.
