    Ugg, would it kill you to show gameplay publishers? Like, Marvel strategy RPG has me intrigued but I kinda want to see how the game actually plays rather than "here's a bunch of super heroes - they're in some kind of game!"

    Gameplay is supposed to be released on September 1st.

    Marvel X-com was weirdly rumored to NOT have recognizable characters, so that's a surprise. (Maybe they got confused that you have to make your own "main" character.) Looks way better than the Agents of Shield game I was expecting.

    Legend of Mana remaster is solid as hell. Gorgeous, full of extras, save anywhere, turn off battles if you want. Still my favorite game of all time.

    April being trained by Splinter and fighting is an established thing. Still, seeing this specific version of April fighting feels weird, but still totally tubular.

    If there's no gameplay shown, the game might as well not exist in my opinion. Makes things like e3 and Gamescom a real crapshoot because devs love their fully cinematic reveals with no semblance of gameplay.

    Yeah, that's why it's so bonkers to me to see people so hyped up for all the Xbox announcements over the last year or so. So many of them exist as only cinematic teasers, or worse, logos on top of some background scenery.

    I keep forgetting to buy this, but I also have like 4 other games I haven't even started yet so I guess maybe I'll wait on a sale? *shrug*

    That's good, cuz yeah.. the trailer doesn't really show me anything. "Hey, Wolverine is in this game!" ok but I know who Wolverine is...

    Also ugg, I just watched the TMNT trailer.. I'm gonna have to buy this, aren't I? It looks way better than it has any right to look :P Even though the beat-em-ups weren't ever really my *favorite* genre, still, TMNT arcade is all the nostalgia... (also something something if you can play as April you should be able to play as Master Splinter)

    they do this because if they just do a cinematic they can contract that out to a CGI house to make something that looks really flashy and nice without interrupting production in the dev studio to produce a demo of gameplay that probably looks unfinished because it actually is or is full of faked gameplay. Producing work-in-progress demos and footage for trailers for trade shows is often seen as a big time waster in game dev.

    Hard to believe that No More Heroes 3 is coming out in a few days. Nintendo put out a video today with Suda51 and looks like the frame rate issues that people noticed are being worked on.

    Ah, yeah I got it now. I was looking at the official Nintendo trailer from April (not the character!) and the UI was fixed over the original teaser trailer from March. Looks like they were just using different builds.

    And wow, that old UI was hideous.

    I remember there was a list of the cds and what monsters it gave you way back then as I was harassed for my copy of Daft punk's homework and other ones by some of the people in the barracks when I would return from a tour
    I just remember the list not what was on it though

    Boost ATK
    Boost SPD

    Save scum through all major tournaments, playing keep away with distance and restarting if you get hit.

    When I was a teen playing it legit back then save scumming wasn't something I considered.

    I mean yeah that right stats can mitigate it, but I meant outside of kind of min maxing things it could be rough and that fear always lingered.

    This is true. I believe it was part of an Iwata Asks? (maybe for Twilight Princess HD? I forget if that came out after he died or before)

    But yeah, basically the team wanted to make a Majora's Mask type sequel to Twilight Princess and Miyamoto was like "Nah, let's do a shooting game." And then Miyamoto would not allow them to put any boss battles in Crossbow Training, which they argued him stringently until he finally relented and let them add ONE boss...

    Seriously, Miyamoto, I love you man, but you gotta cut this shit out. It's bad enough your meddling brought us Sticker Star...

    Edit: Here: https://zelda.fandom.com/wiki/Link's_Crossbow_Training#Development

    You can check the citation for the original Iwata Asks articles (which I guess were actually FOR Crossbow Training)

    And to reiterate what I just said, Miyamoto, wtf...
    The development team struggled with making a shooter game fit in with the Zelda universe as Link wielding a gun did not feel right. Nevertheless, Miyamoto insisted that it be set in the Zelda universe, and suggested a "terminator-style" plot in which Link time-warps into our modern world where he finds and begins using an AK-47 to defend Tokyo City and his own Kingdom from monsters. This idea was shot down immediately by everyone else on the team as atrocious. In the end, they decided to give Link a crossbow, and to flex what it could do so that it acted more akin to a modern day firearm.

    Between that, all the Paper Mario nonsense, and Star Fox Zero I'm starting to think that Miyamoto has been an anchor on development ever since the Gamecube era ended.

    God I forgot about Star Fox Zero. I wish they're remake that game for Switch but remove all the gamepad bullshit and just turn it into a normal Star Fox game.

    I'm sad that "a normal star fox game" seems to just be remakes of the first one.

    I like Assault quite a bit, and I would've loved a further sequel from Command.

    Or like, a redo of Adventures, with Fox on the flying continents and Krystal on the main planet.

    I've thought that for a long time. Often creative people need someone to reel them in a bit. I was in the position to do that with a director one time. We needed to get the show on the road but he was still trying to make all kinds of creative changes when we should have been finalizing things. I got yelled at but I stood my ground and in the end I kept the show on track. I get the feeling Miyamoto has his own ideals but no regard for what's best for the product. At this point Miyamoto is a legend in the business and I'm sure a lot of people at Nintendo don't feel they can say no to him, especially in a Japanese business environment.
