StarTopic Nintendo General Discussion |ST18 March 2023| The physical version of ST18 will be available in stores next month

[MissingNo.]

Finally treated myself to Capcom Fighting Collection at a 50% discount.

When will Capcom revive Darkstalkers, smh.

 

[Weebos]

Oh man, the upcoming Mario Movie Direct is airing at 11pm here in Europe ... hey Nintendo, how about you switch between EU and US having shit times?

Much like RPGs, the direct time genres are USA or Japan, nothing in between.

 

[Bonejack]

I will not let you ignore the famous Eurojank RPGs. ;_;

 

[Weebos]

I will not let you ignore the famous Eurojank RPGs. ;_;

Considering the majority of Europe is in the Eastern hemisphere, they are unfortunately disqualified from WRPG and therefore don't exist.

 

[Skittzo]

When do we start seeing the great NRPG vs SRPG war?

Never, probably. I was so hyped when Ono dropped the Darkstalkers teaser way back when, but nothing came out of it.

After spending some time with video games, I am once again convinced of the notion that video games are pretty good

 

[Brofield]

 

[Barely Able]

Hello!

 

[Mer.Saloon]

Hello!

Argh! I haven't even touched the first one and the sequel is already out. Where does the time go?

 

[Bonejack]

Aaahahahahahahaha folks ... foooolks... this is golden!

About the MS/Acti merger, the CMA released statements by Sony and MS about it, and Sony just went to another comedy goldmine.

Read from here:

For example, Microsoft might release a PlayStation version of Call of Duty where bugs and errors emerge only on the game's final level or after later updates.

I shit you not, this is an OFFICIAL answer/statement from Sony about why MS shouldn't have CoD erm sorry, Activision/Blizzard. Because they might, on purpose, add BUGS to the PS versions of CoD! Adding bugs, ON PURPOSE, on a competitor console!

Aaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahaha.

End the week, the best joke has been done, there nothing that could be funnier this week.

Holy shit.

I swear when either MS or Sony open their mouths regarding this deal, they just make the argument in favour of the other.

 

[Suswave]

it's me. A regular guy now

conregulations!

just wait until we get a divorce and i take my half of the community in the alimony ruling

I spent years of my life trying to escape the boring horror of joint custody — weekends whiled away on four-hour bus trips, free time in neither country to create and maintain friendships, or be there for the key moments, or do any activity that required unencumbered weekends

which is to say that if you two split I’m packing a bindle and stealing a bike

I know industry consolidation is bad and all that but this whole saga has been pretty hilarious, so I guess something good has come of it.

 

[Derachi]

Holy shit.

Microsoft’s whole “man our console REALLY sucks and NOBODY wants it” routine was definitely a highlight for me

 

[Bonejack]

Live reaction of MS' lawyers who handle the CMA parts:

 

[Mr_No_U]

Live reaction of MS' lawyers who handle the CMA parts:

Seriously.

Sony’s lawyers when writing that stuff:

 

[MissingNo.]

Microsoft's dog might eat the CoD PS5 master disk, better watch out.

 

[Barely Able]

And it begins (again)…

But they are doing this:

 

[HockeyBird]

In a just and interesting world, someone would sue Sony over their exclusivity deals and just copy and paste their own arguments back at them.

 

[MissingNo.]

And it begins (again)…

But they are doing this:

Decent spacing between TotK and Starfield, phew.

 

[Josh5890]

Decent spacing between TotK and Starfield, phew.

Between Zelda, Final Fantasy and Street Fighter, I am so glad that this isn't an early summer game.

 

[Skittzo]

I like that companies have just completely dropped all pretense and are now calling their presentations directs.

 

[Bonejack]

I like that companies have just completely dropped all pretense and are now calling their presentations directs.

Soon in MS' inboxes, a mail from Nintendo:

"Presenting a C&D, directly to you."

 

[Mr_No_U]

I like that companies have just completely dropped all pretense and are now calling their presentations directs.

Well they can’t call them State of Plays or else people will just assume it’ll suck.

 

[Barely Able]

Ripping off both companies. Having the Starfield Direct after a Showcase

 

[Brofield]

And it begins (again)…

But they are doing this:

Microsoft and now its affiliates going all in on "borrowing" the Direct moniker it seems lol

 

[Bonejack]

Furukawa seeing all this, looking over to a folder with "CONFIDENTIAL" in red capitals on it, saying to himself:

"Would be a shame if i'd somehow decide to announce Drake after all, huh Phil?"

 

[Xaltmas]

Glad Microsoft went ahead and confirmed the day for their summer show too so I can request the day off work. I think I've missed it once since 2008.

 

[Hoagmaster]

Every time I see Starfield I read it as Seinfeld and do a double take.

 

[Mr_No_U]

[Magic-Man]

Microsoft just announced a game specific Direct THREE MONTHS ahead of time. Lmao

I think this is just for Starfield, not anything else.

 

[LukasManak22]

Lol they are really calling it Starfield Direct. I thought that was a joke. I would be so embarassed if i had to use Direct branding. Only one company actually makes worthy presentations that have Direct label in their name.

 

[Bonejack]

The wording on the Xbox official tweet does sound that there's a general Games Showcase before. Either on the same day or in the days before the Seinfeld Direct.

Every time I see Seinfeld I read it as Starfield.

Up until a few years ago, it was extremely confusing

 

[Barely Able]

Microsoft was always good at giving a big lead time from E3 announcement until the show. This is pretty common for them

 

[Brofield]

I just posted this in the Books |ST| over on The Roost, but fuck it this is my ST and I'll post about what I want!



Eragon was first published 20 years ago this year. It's been 12 years since the final book, Inheritance. Fuck man, I am so stoked for October 28th

Well, Seinfeld characters act just as random and choppy as Bethesda game characters, so it kinda fits.

between Zelda, FF, SF, and my second kid who's gonna be born in like seven weeks oh god I too am glad it's not a summer game.

 

[Josh5890]

RIP Cosmo Kramer

 

[Bonejack]

my second kid who's gonna be born in like seven weeks

I'm going to reserve a chair for your in the "We're adult parents and need all games available portable"-club, looks like you're going to need it in the future.

 

[Magic-Man]

They confirmed a general showcase on the same day.

Why not just make the Starfield Direct part of the regular Direct? I don't get the need to separate them.

 

[MissingNo.]

They saw people bitching about Nintendo's 2018 E3 Direct.

 

[merp]

What's with this toilet talk here? I'm getting the urge to become Monty Python and the Holy Grail's french guy and call you all "Wipers of other people's bottoms" if you don't stop.



I mean ... if you're not a fan of Horror movies, going straight to an adaption of Lovecraftian fucked up stuff sure is a decision. ;D

It was probably one of my worst decisions.

I was literally shaken afterward.

 

[MisterSpo]

Oh no

Hello!

Oh no!

So many potential things

I've never read the Eragon books, but I take it from this you would heartily recommend? The last couple of series I've read have been Sanderson's Stormlight Archive (mostly enjoyable) and Robin Hobb's Realm of the Elderlings (which I absolutely adored and would read again if I had time for 16 chunky fantasy books).

 

[Bonejack]

Well, now that you've the inital shock done, how about you read the other stuff, maybe reading is easier than having everything visualized. ;D

But as a disclaimer, be aware Lovecraft was a sick human being who had many very very shitty and bad views and opinions.

 

[Derachi]

Why not just make the Starfield Direct part of the regular Direct? I don't get the need to separate them.

I think they’re going to go very deep into it, and breaking it out into its own show lets people who only care about it watch it by itself, and allows people who don’t to tune out.

I'm well aware.

I read his stories when I was, like, 9 or 10 years-old and I do not condone them, especially now. Though at the time, I was curious and just thought that "that's how everyone acted back then" (so my interest was kinda historical).
