Ahhhh. That makes so much more sense. I knew there was a trailer for that but I barely paid attention to it.

Bit late now, since you already got out the PS2 and started playing, but FES is one of the PS2 games Sony sells as PS3 downloads, $10.

On a somewhat related note I finished me Mew Quest in Pokemon Go today.

Nice! Ill be finished Celebi today myself (grass-type Community Day and the only thing I have left is the 40 grass- or psychic-type captures). Hopefully I have similar luck.

The official translation on his blog doesnt sound quite as dire as GI did, which is good. No mention I can see if a disease either, instead citing fatigue.

The resulting fatigue, however, has finally caught up with me, and I find it mentally and physically difficult to go on at my current pace. After giving serious consideration to all options, I have decided to take an extended leave of absence and give my mind and body the time they need to properly mend. If I am to return, I want to do so in full health. Do not worry. Once Ive made a full recovery, Ill be back doing what I do best.

My current plan is to rest for the remainder of the year, and while I cannot commit to a method or time frame for my return, Im very hopeful.

Uematsu wrote about it on his blog, stating that he has been affected by a disease for a few years that has progressed to the point where he is unable to act at full capability. Rather than do subpar work, Uematsu is taking time to rest and reconsider whether future projects will be doable.

For everyone wondering how the game runs on Switch, heres a free way to find out.

The test will be playable between the hours of 5PM-9PM PDT on 9/21, 9/22, & 9/23 with Nintendo Switch Online. (A free 7-day trial for Nintendo Switch Online is available for a limited time as well!)

I really thought the headline was a joke.

I could still see myself getting one for somewhat less than $100 depending on games available though.

That said I have a hefty chunk of the PS1 games Id want already and the PS1 itself has no nostalgic value for me (didnt get one until I was in college), so its significantly less appealing than the NES and SNES were.

And for CQC I found this thread over on the board for the game:
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/632696-metal-gear-solid-hd-collection/61083977

- Tap B for punch-punch-punch-kick combo.
- Hold B and any direction on the analog to CQC slam. (Mama Said...)
- Hold B without touching the analog to CQC grab.
- While holding B, press Y to slit throat. (Close Shave)
- While holding B, press the left analog button (push the stick down) to interrogate the enemy.
- While holding B, flick the analog in any direction and tap B to drop an enemy to the ground. (Doesn't knock them out immediately like the CQC slam)
- While holding B, move the analog to drag the enemy around.
- While holding B, hold square to aim and use the enemy as a human shield. You can also drag them and enter first person doing this.
- While holding B, tap B repeatedly to choke and knock the enemy out. If you keep tapping B there after, you will snap their neck.
- Lastly, sneak up behind the enemy and aim your gun at them to hold them up. If you walk infront of them (holding LB to move around with the gun drawn) you can go into first person view and aim at their head/crotch to shake them down for items. (Like He Just Doesn't Care)

A quick google suggests that clicking the left stick is the new put-your-gun-away button since 360 doesnt have pressure-sensitive face buttons.

Doesnt 360 not have analog face buttons? So pressure sensitivity would be not so much a thing in that version?

its been a long while since I played a Metal Gear game

but uh, I don't remember having a free range camera!

Its actually making me disoriented!

Usually you just go up, I don't know what direction on facing right now!

The camera change was added in Subsistence, the PS2 rerelease that also included Metal Gear 1&2 and the first rendition of Metal Gear Online. I believe you can click the right stick to change the camera back to the overhead perspective.

Who is Mickeys English VA for KH these days anyways? I mean the original guy died, but Mickey has like several English voice actors in general. Kinda hoping they get the guy from the 2012~ shorts to do him.

Bret Iwan has been Mickey in Kingdom Hearts since BBS, as well as Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Minnies Bow-Toons, and Roadster Racers, plus the Epic Mickey games, Disney Infinity, etc.

The cartoons youre thinking of have a completely separate Mickey VA, Christopher Diamantopoulos.

Apparently Quinton Flynn voiced Mickey a few times in the first season of Mickey Mouse Works when Allwine was unavailable? Did not expect that.

What Anagram neglects to mention is that the original creators are the ones doing this, so thats at least a good start.

(Personally Im hoping this gets the original and Korra back on Netflix so I can watch them with my kids more than Im worried about the remake itself.)

fuck yeah.

Since this is the western release of the trailer they used Dont Think Twice, which like Simple and Clean and Sanctuary before is Utada Hikarus English-language song set to the same music as Oath/Hikari/Passion respectively. If you watch the JP version of the trailer you get Oath instead.

Exactly. She wasn't originally Peach.

Yeah, the intro to Super Mario 64 was used as a way to transition the US audience to using the name shed always had in Japan. Kinda like what Sonic Adventure did with the name Eggman.

And when did she appear in a mainline platformer? Unless you're counting Treasure Tracker, which is awesome, but definitely still a spinoff.

Shes playable in NSMBU Deluxe (as well as Super Mario Run but I assume most people dont count that as mainline), and appeared as an NPC in Odyssey.

Launch trailer:


IGN: 9.0
http://m.ign.com/articles/2018/09/10/shadow-of-the-tomb-raider-review

With a story that manages to satisfactorily tread the line between high-concept fun and grounded character exploration, Shadow of the Tomb Raider meaningfully wraps up the journey Lara began in 2013 and convincingly leaves her in a place resembling where she was when we were first introduced to her more than 20 years ago.

Game Informer: 7.5
https://www.gameinformer.com/review/shadow-of-the-tomb-raider/in-the-shadow-of-something-greater

Lara Croft often throws herself headfirst into the action without seeing the bigger picture. In a way, thats a good a parallel for Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Parts feel rushed with odd scene jumps and some of the gameplay systems feel half-baked. The game has its standout moments, but its also full of unrealized potential.

Easy Allies: 8.5

While it may not have a ton of new features or a gripping story, Shadow of the Tomb Raider improves upon just about every aspect of the previous titles. Its combat is a bit tighter, characters feel more personal, and the locations you visit are more intriguing than ever.

GameSpot: 6.0
https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/shadow-of-the-tomb-raider-review-guerilla-girl/1900-6416982/

Thankfully, the parts of Tomb Raider that make it really fantastic--uncovering the mystery of ancient ruins, solving impressive challenge tombs, and exploring exotic environments--are still here in Shadow, and they are just as outstanding as they have always been. But the core mechanics that have been with the series for half a decade are starting to show their limitations.
