The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Anyway, Nintendo had their fiscal year briefing yesterday. The real important thing is that for the first time there was no mention of the 3DS outside of comparisons of the Switch's overall sales pace against 3DS, Wii and more. It looks like Extra Epic Yarn will be the last first party 3DS game unless something gets announced at E3.
So some of you might know that Dragalia Lost, the Nintendo mobile game, is currently having a Fire Emblem collaboration. What you may not know is that Cygames, the developer, went all out for this and got a unique rap remix of the Fire Emblem theme for the event. Behold.
It has a fair amount of story, and good world-building.
For example, the townspeople have been telling my character that things have been going missing for an in-game week, now. My rival accused me of stealing his equipment. Then at the end of the week the mayor, at the usual town meeting, announced that a thief is back, then he tells me later that he has a special commission for me. And here was I thinking these town meetings would be repetitive, non-important events.
So Nintendo just revealed the new Fire Emblem's apparently required sexy ackshually-7000-year-old child character on Twitter (spoilered for obvious reasons)
Well yes. Its also the anime industry making a profit on this shit for decades and shifting the media attention to the results of that so they can keep doing it
I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.
It would appear that Nintendo has pulled a game from the Switch eShop after its developer revealed it contains a secret code editor. If you're looking for a way to ensure Nintendo never works with you again, we imagine this would do it.
The game in question is A Dark Room, a text-based adventure that launched on the Switch earlier this month. We shared more info about it just ahead of its launch if you're interested in learning more, but it essentially allowed you to experience a story through text and player interaction.
As it turns out, though, that wasn't all it could do. Amir Rajan, the man responsible for converting the game from its original form to the version that has seen a release on Switch and mobile devices, spoke about a hidden feature online. He explained that he had hidden a Ruby interpreter and code editor as an "Easter egg".
As self-sabotage goes, this is up there. And the dev's response is amazingly clueless:
I deeply regret how this has blown up. A simple toy sandboxed environment has been framed as this massive exploit. And of course it's the community that exploits these things that pushed it up to that level. I'm partly to blame with my sensationalised media posts. I acted alone and stupidly. It was a last second 'spark of inspiration' and I snuck it in assuming that plugging in a USB keyboard and pressing the "~" key wasn't part of the test plan.
It's just...does he not understand the law of unintended consequences?

Either that, or he's completely and totally unfamiliar with the internet.
I have Steamworld Quest on my list now. I haven't played any of the other Steamworld games but it looks cute and fun. Though the card based aspect is weird to me

It adds a bit of randomness to the battles, but you have the ability to toss and redraw two cards per turn to help offset that. Plus other cards that let you draw more cards per turn and play more cards per turn to help control some of that randomness
Could it be used for piracy or...? Help those of us who don’t know computers that intimately
According to the dev, all you can do with it is play around with the game assets. That said, this is the sort of thing that escalation attacks are made of.

This place called Champ's Chicken opened up in all the like convenience stores/gas stations north of here. That chain has always had restaurants of some kind attached to them.
Anyway, for what it is its pretty dang good. Lotta variety too. Chicken tenders are real good. They also got these huge ass fish planks with this real light bread crumb breading that are great.
The "control which party member appears on the map" feature should be standard for any game that doesn't have the full party on screen.
Funnily enough, Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia (the most recent FF gacha game) actually does this. Whoever is in the party's first slot is who appears on the "world map," such as it is. It's an extremely minor detail, but it's nice that they bothered.
And now I'm realizing how incredibly rare that is for FF games.
I like being able to choose who's on screen but it's annoying when that's tied to "this specific character needs to be the one in the lead before talking to this specific NPC to trigger this specific scene" sort of stuff.

Is there a way to upgrade weapons or shift combo finishers in Steamworld Quest? Cause Copernica's party wide shield finisher rocks, but it's tied to her default weapon.

The second & third set of weapon upgrades have multiple options of finishers, so you can get shields back then.

End of an era I suppose

I literally don't understand
My instagram is just photos of fried chicken that I review.

I learned the slang word for them is Chester
Can confirm.

Yes - it provides a running Ruby interpreter:

He claims that it's sandboxed, but no console maker would allow a live coding environment that hadn't been rigorously tested, for a number of reasons.
At some point its just a question of how much time someone wants to commit

On the plus side: I like that MTaP allows you to pick and choose from 4 missions every week day. Much easier to actually fulfill them that way.
Also that they let you pick who walks around the map, never not gonna have Copernica.
Dig 1 and 2 are some of my favorites
Heist is also excellent!
Zaxby's is what was always around for me, I didn't have a Raisin' Cain's until I moved to Mississippi, but I find them comparable in quality

I have that too! It’s quite good!
