do we think some more Pokmon will get new Mega forms

I assume whatever three non-Kalos starters are picked will, if it follows the pattern of Arceus. But probably a few actual Kalos Pokmon too since none of them ever got one besides Diancie

Also does this mean Megas will return for Gen 10

Theyre skipping Unova LMAO

they dont know what they have

So is this mobile TCG game gonna be separate from the PC app they launched not that long ago?

Death Crimson (the god of kusoge, Japanese fans even call it Death-sama)
E.T. (even though this game is actually alright once you learn how it works)
Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing
Super Monkey Daibouken

I just read that Ken Leung (Zhao) thought he was auditioning for a James Cameron Avatar thing when he got the part

and yeah Rokus shrine is the easternmost point of the Fire Nation and He Bai forest is right across the sea from it. Aang using his glider is actually somewhat believable.

His airbending flight has looked like full-on Zaheer level a few times

Jaws: The Revenge
Look Whos Talking Now

I -might- have seen Problem Child, it sounds familiar.

Mega Man water levels are usually fine, since it just makes you jump higher and fall slower

I built a Straight Flush run with Checkered Deck, Four Fingers (thanks for that tip earlier about combining a Straight with a Flush btw), Shortcut, and like five x-mult Jokers and it STILL wasn't enough to beat Ante 11. If some of my jokers had been Foil or Holo I think I would've pulled it off. I had Straight Flush leveled up to like 7 or 8 and regular Flush was at least 6

Already vetoed because he never played it

He was using a Mio-like color scheme for Juri too.

Theyre gonna do The Great Divide in s3

You could throw boomerangs in some of those e-reader levels on the GBA well before 2011, but it wasnt a whole Boomerang Suit, they were just an item you could carry and throw, like those white blocks.

Nominate Tiny Toon Adventures for NES. If you are curious how this relates to Mario, just look at the images and gifs in this French article: https://upsilandre.over-blog.com/2021/10/du-clonage-chez-konami.html

Absolutely no build up.

Same with Iroh being passed over as heir apparent

Somehow I have lost my last four games with the Checkered Deck (almost certainly the easiest deck in the game)

won with all the basic color decks and a couple of the more special ones. I was messing with Challenges but I think you can't get unlocks from there so I'll wait on that for now

or just UNI, that's what I remember people mostly saying out loud. In text it was usually UNIEL or UNICLR

Blue Shell (NSMB powerup)

certain Spectral cards can make something like Full House or Four of a Kind viable, but right now Flush is just way more reliable and accessible to build around.

Also a good number of Rare jokers I havent unlocked yet, maybe those will help other strategies

the e-Reader functions of Super Mario Advance 4

vampire is pretty easy if you can generate tarot cards, but I actually hadn't thought about midas mask working with it before. If only you had pareidolia too, huh

Waluigis name works even better than Warios what the hell are you talking about

warui=bad
ruiji=luigi
waruiji=bad luigi

nominate 3up Moon

AI art

Won with red and blue decks, so now its time for the weirder stuff

I didnt personally witness it but I saw someones high score where they actually reached Ante 13

2XKO is actually a bit laborious to say with that repeated hard syllable in the middle. But you cant really shorten it to 2X since that is a common abbreviation of the seminal game of the entire genre (Super Turbo is known as Super Street Fighter 2 X in Japan)

7 Grand Dad (aka Mario 7)

Got my first win on I think my fifth attempt. I entered Endless Mode and got over 1,000,000 chips in one hand on the next boss. I think I beat the next one after that, but then the requirements ramp up insanely high on ante 11. I saw someone reach ante 12 and its even more ridiculous, like 300,000,000

Im getting Hebereke 2 on day one, no worries there

Angry Sun

I played through Gen 2 for the first time like a month and a half ago and beat Whitney no problem on the first try. Mortys level 25 Gengar with Shadow Ball when your team is probably still largely unevolved and rocking 50-60 BP moves at best swept my entire team though

So, they can announce these about a week in advance, yet regular/partner Directs only get up to 2 days notice?

Theres a Pokmon Direct every year on February 27, announcing it is merely a formality. We knew this was coming 365 days ago

Don't mean to dump on you specifically here because this is a pretty widely-disliked one, but I will go to bat for this song every time. It takes a truly joyless individual to hear this dinky little kazoo song meant to demonstrate that the Yoshis are goofy little guys and go "wow this song is bad and I don't think Nintendo realizes it! Can't believe they published this one!!"

Oh yeah and reminder that the RE: Director's Cut Dualshock Edition OST is credited to the guy who spent almost two decades pretending to be deaf composer and most of his stuff was ghostwritten by another person entirely. We don't know whether this was an actual work of his or ghostwritten.

I really hate Burn! Bobonga! from Chrono Trigger. Even setting aside the Brian Peppers thing

I see people are just posting the usual suspects for general bad video game music, but if you think you know the worst video game song of all time and its not something from Ancient Roman for PS1, youre wrong:

Jim Carrey as Wario in SMB2 (not confirmed or even speculated upon, just my own personal casting choice)

If the guy who played Kevin Butler in the PlayStation commercials had a non-compete agreement to not appear in any other video game-related commercials, I guarantee Jim Carrey has similar for game-related movies

Whats the Rushia drama, soz. Completely out of the loop.

Remember how people thought she was in a relationship with the singer Mafumafu

turns out they were married but have since divorced and are now taking each other to court

I dont think that its accurate to say niji and holo are intentionally western gaming focused as a business model, but rather Japanese gaming companies continue to be weird about internet stuff and just dont give them streaming permissions. We already know the consequences of the big organizations not getting permissions so theyre never gonna risk that again

I forgot that these games don't get simultaneous global releases.

yeah maybe I just didn't see it since I didn't pay much attention to Niji to begin with, but it seems like crossover between the regional branches is much less than Hololive. And I've never seen like, memes or clips or any kind of English-speaking online cultural penetration from their Japanese talents except for Salome. I can only even name like five or six of them

There was a chance things could have slid back into some normalcy with a little more time, and then they stomped all of the toothpaste out of the tube

I knew all the stuff you spoilered there, and I gathered that Popola probably intentionally told Yonah about the Lunar Tear so that she could be captured and sent to Shadowlord to reunite their body and soul. Did they not anticipate that Grimoire Weiss would be awakened by Nier, or did they want him to find the book? What would have happened if Nier was killed, wouldn't that ruin the Project too? Seems awfully risky to keep sending him to all these dangerous places.

Specifically, ver 1.2201040271727..

havent played Automata yet btw

Except for Ending E, I kinda wish I could have just watched a video of the other playthroughs in the middle. I didnt exactly get much out of playing it through again. Like yeah, the shades were humans and now you can read what theyre saying and youre supposed to maybe feel bad, but Im not dumb and had figured that out in the first playthrough even before Popola and Devola tell you so. Maybe if bosses werent invulnerable until the mid-fight dialogue is over (even if the dialogue is identical to previous playthroughs) I wouldnt have been quite as annoyed by having to go through the motions every time.

Emil, Kaine, and Weiss are great fucking characters each in their own way. Any scene where theyre all talking to each other is so good. I know most people just didnt play this game until Automata, but even after that I dont know how there arent tons of people obsessed with Kaine and talking about her constantly.

Im still not sure what Popola and Devolas endgame was though, aside from getting Shadowlord his body back eventually. A few scenes in the third playthrough suggest that they werent fully on his side? If any of this is revealed/implied through weapon stories let me know, theres no way I was going to grind for any of that shit and the few parts I read didnt seem to have any plot significance anyway.

Glad I didnt listen to whoever here told me I could just skip all the side quests, since weapons mandatory to the later endings were rewards from some of those. Pretty sure some were even in the child part I couldnt go back to. Spreading them out across all the playthroughs made them a little more bearable, and once I had all weapons I skipped anything else that was left.

The music is great, everybody knows that. Kinda wish there were a few more tracks though, a couple of them got reused enough that by playthrough 3 I didnt really want to hear them anymore.

Gameplay is like a solid 6/10 PS2 game, so its a good thing thats not what were here for. I wish you didnt have to do so much of it, the tedium:payoff ratio was definitely not balanced after the first time the credits roll.

the answer is that in most of these games the AI has to cheat to stand a chance (can see the whole map, gets extra resources, etc) and that would become very obvious if you were just watching them at all times. The reason AoE2 doesn't anymore is because they made AI that are actually good at the game and play like players do.
