Doshin the Giant I think as well?

I feel like people are (slightly) more aware of the N64DD version compared to the GameCube port; very strange case considering the GC version was actually localised, like Animal Crossing. Guess it just has more appeal as one of the few titles for an obscure hardware add-on than it does as an obscure GameCube game.

Today I learned Kirbys air ride was a n64 game originally

Far from being the only scrapped N64 project moved to GameCube!

Cubivore, Eternal Darkness, OoT Master Quest (AKA Ura Zelda), Resident Evil Zero, Star Fox Adventures; and then you've got Kameo, moved from N64 to GameCube to Xbox to Xbox 360.
 
yeah I've liked what I've heard of the literal suswave so far but I haven't had time to sit down and listen through it

I wonder what the holdup is on Yokai Watch 4 and if Nintendo passed on it or if L5 themselves didn't want to work with them.

At this point, L5 is the hold up. Seeing some of the stuff that does come out, there's no reason YW isn't one of them. Forget Nintendo, find someone else. She ain't coming back to the altar

Folks, have any of you tried Death's Door on Switch? Is it a locked 30? I didn't pull the trigger yet and I'm wondering if I should get it on switch or Series X.

Very uninteresting on the performance side, which is great of course. It's 30 across the board, looks great in both docked and handheld mode (think resolution is able to be this high due to changes it lighting?), native or at least very close to native res.

I played TWEWY on the DS in 2008 as a high school-attending teenager. The main character's attitude struck a major chord with me, and that game, frankly, gave me a new outlook on life. It absolutely means the world to me. That game is an all-time classic.

NEO TWEWY came out when I was almost 30, in a year full of other games I wanted to play. I played the demo. It was alright! I actually found the teenaged characters charming and believably written. I will probably play the full game at some point, if I could get it digitally for the price it's going for physically at American Wal-Marts.

But real talk: in the 13 years since I played the original, the urgency a TWEWEY sequel would conceivably garner from me fell precipitously every year. If this game came out in like 2011/2012 on 3DS, it would have been a Day One Purchase for me. In 2021? Yeah, I'll get it on sale I guess.

I was kind of on a similar boat as you but I decided to bite the bullet after liking the demo. It was the right time for me to get a new game as well since I had summer break and I played the first TWEWY during a summer as well. I don’t regret paying full price in CAD for the game, after all it’s over 50 hours long with a pretty notable postgame

When the game got announced I was pretty skeptical, not only the first trailer looked cheap but I wasn’t sold on the new cast which weren’t nearly as cool as the old one. When I played the demo I was surprised how it felt literally like a sequel to TWEWY but on a single screen system and regular controls. The gameplay loop is still as good as the first one’s. I may not be exactly in the game’s main target audience anymore but I can still very much appreciate what they went for. After completing the game I gotta say, without spoiling, that they really nailed it in terms of making a new story with new characters in that universe while trying to appeal to the current generation of young people. While the character arcs are more subtle than the first game’s, I think that NEO is a good example of successfully making a story aimed at teenagers while being in touch with their current struggles. That’s coming from someone that doesn’t care for most modern anime, in fact in general I cringe when I see a character in media using a smartphone but NEO definitely didn’t have the “how do you do fellow kids” vibe at all. The only problem that holds this game back from being a total classic like the first is a few grindy and repetitive elements in the gameplay (scramble days and dive battles). Sadly it seems to be trendy in JRPGs these days to include some kind of mobile-like grindy segment where you just fight waves of enemies. They are still not too present, the game is well paced enough so it doesn’t matter that much.

I think that big single player games like that one are good to get physically. It will probably get much lower digitally as time goes on but if you ever get the itch to go for it it’s still worth it at 30% off (not sure if the eshop sale is still going). Either way just wanted to say my thoughts about the game as someone who didn’t regret choosing this game as one of the rare ones I would buy full price on day one. While it’s very annoying to see this kind of guilt tripping attitude around that game with SE saying it underperformed, I think we should all know at this point that they usually have ridiculous sales expectations and that voting with your wallet almost never works. At the end of the day all of these games out there are competing for your time, and I gotta say that I didn’t regret at all to jump on NEO TWEWY as I felt like it

Well there's the slight issue of PS4 versions.

Surprised they haven't managed to convince Bandai Namco to pick them up though.

If Nintendo offered a publishing deal in return for platform exclusivity and Hino said no only for the game to not be localized at all... he's even more washed up than I thought. I guess it's possible they weren't interested at all.

@Suswave just saw your links. Sadly can’t get them to load as the place I’m at now does not have the best connection to load it all. Maybe when I get back home from my trip

okay! let me know if there’s a file-sending service that works better for you, “vaguely threatening ZIP file via Google Drive” is my default move

Just can’t get it to load good here. Connection isn’t great here but will be better when I get back home Sunday. Just need to remember to check
 
All this talk about Xenoblade 2 makes me rennet his angry I am at Nintendo for never do reprints of the games, it is pretty expensive physical and never doing a deep sale on it, it isn’t exactly selling anymore.

I don’t know if I can be a le to get enough money to buy it in this sale before it ends ): I’ve really wanted to play it since it was announced but I have only got my Switch last years and the physical prices are too much for me and I have only seen it on sale digitally once before this sale and last time I also didn’t have the money…

Anyway…
 
Hey I have a very weird off-topic question but it's music-mixing related and the only musicians I know are here.
So I listen to almost everything through headphones and I've been noticing this weird phenomenon for a while where it seems like the right channel is always more bass-heavy than the right. I've tried it with multiple sets of headphones, multiple sources (tv, Switch, computer), and it's always like that. And on my TV I was even able to switch the L & R cables and the bass-heavy side switched with them. So I don't think it's my right ear going bad or my headphones going bad. But it's so pronounced and seems to be this way in everything (games, shows, music, even noticed it to a degree in the (kickass) stuff @Suswave shared last night) so it makes me wonder:
with sound mixing is it normal to put the bass-heavy stuff on the right and the tinny stuff (like hi-hats and such) on the left? This is happening with such consistency that it's making me question my aural sanity.

congratulations, every single audio device you own is going to shit

I'm really only half joking

edit: no I missed the TV part. I guess all of your sources have a bass heavy channel. that's weird though

Yeah it's weird, I have three different sets of headphones and I mixed and matched them across my tv, Switch, and laptop, and am getting the same result on all of them. So the coincidence of two sets of headphones going goofy I get, but this is three sets, and all in the same way?

That's a really abnormal way to mix, generally bass is in the center. Weird
