I hope this has a story and isn't totally a roguelike the same way other Battle Network inspired games were, the reason I love that series was because of the characters, story, and gameplay. The other BN spiritual successors just didn't seem that exciting to me in the way I had hoped.Yoooooo Inti Creates is making a Battle Network-alike:
Inti Creates teases new title to be announced at PAX East 2024
Inti Creates has released a single screenshot of a new title it plans to announce at PAX East 2024, which will run from March 21 to 24 at Boston Convention Center in Boston, Massachusetts. It will …www.gematsu.com
What they said I had no idea it actually released
Sounds like a good time to have a DirectI wonder if we won't get anything in April. Peach comes out at the end of March and Endless Ocean right at the beginning of May. April could just be kind of empty, I guess.
I've never felt quite as out of touch as I did watching the end of the Direct and seeing Endless Ocean as the "one more thing..." I honestly thought nobody remembered those games but us! I've never even played them! Are they really that popular amongst the Direct-viewing public?
Surprised about Kingdom Come: Deliverance coming to Switch though.
Oh yeah, looking forward to this too.
This Direct was more than fine for me I have to say.
Also here’s that full trailer in English!Gundam Breaker definitely got me excited too.
It wasn't. What a shit day.I wish I could watch the Direct right now. I could use something uplifting.
Gambit Viable!* There went all of those vast tomes of knowledge. Nothing was left of them. No hints to gain, no information to be gathered.
* But...what did Volcanic learn in this game? He barely stuck to the BOOKS. It was kindness that brought him the most success, not order. Being a rules stickler didn't get him far, and their strict enforcement was part of what got them into this mess. Even Sus.wav recognized that...
* ...wait. Sus.wav was the Game Master. They created the GAME faction after Volcanic tried to STRIKE them. If they had the power to make a faction, then maybe...
GAMBIT: Sus.wav! If you can hear me...thank you for fulfilling your promise to us, even after I tried to STRIKE you down. We can stop SuswAIve together! But we need the power of the GAME faction you created. If you still have any means left, please, transfer its control to us! Or tell us how we can take it back!

Gambit Viable!GAMBIT: After the meal, I stand up to give a toast. I immediately stumble over my words, spill my drink on myself, and smash my plate, and then somehow my pants fall down. Surely seeing how much buffoonery lies within the BOOKS faction will cause the other factions to realize how much DIGNITY they already secretly possessed?
Hopefully my fellow BOOKS pals aren't too mad at me for this. Personally it's less fun for me when one team is so far ahead, even when it's your own, so this makes it more interesting (and helps our detonations a lot)Gambit Viable!

What's a penultimate battle with some kickass theme MUSIC?
SuswAIve is out and blocks the way, yeah
No time for fear, just let it ALL fall away
(It will all fall away)
Everyone believes in LOVE and BOOKS
And even ABYSS and TWO
So what if we're at the end of our rope
We've got each other, we'll persevere!
Kick AI ass and take the plunge
Running through TWO dimensions
Don't get scared, this GAME ends soon
We'll lead the way
Let's break free of REALITY
Break free of our inhibitions
We'll take OUR ASSES straight to the goal
We'll grab the dub together, the fireworks are gonna start
Screw algorithms, we're running free, yeah
Show this AI bastard human ingenuity
Playing this GAMBIT for us all
And no one can stop us now
We'll have this rocking theme song playing
And our stats will get buffed somehow!
Rise up and fight, my newfound friends
We're not gonna let this be the end
TWO and LOVE, BOOKS and ABYSS
It's time to slay (It's time to slay)
Oh SuswAIve is a buffoon, there's no contest
Human soul will remain the best
AI could never shitpost this fine
So let's STRIKE SuswAIve down, let Famiboards really shine
Everyone believes in LOVE and BOOKS
And even ABYSS and TWO
So what if we're at the end of our rope
We're stomping this fight and get the clear!
Kick AI ass and take the plunge
Destroy its machinations
Never fear, this GAME ends soon
We'll lead the way
Let's break free of REALITY
Break free of our inhibitions
We'll take OUR ASSES straight to the goal
We'll grab the dub together, the fireworks are gonna start

Oh, we're not done yet. We're not gonna let Sus.wave's sacrifice go to waste. We're kicking your ASS.That hurt quite a bit.
Now they have restraining orders against each other or some such.Music is the only thing that makes me feel more out of touch! At least I kind of know who these two are.
What the fuck? Should I be Team Hall or Team Oates?Now they have restraining orders against each other or some such.

* Sus.wav's sacrifice had not been in vain. Over a third of SuswAIve's health had been taken out by the explosion, and the Sus rivalrly was boosted. 2uswave could take advantage of this if she was empowered further! They had to keep fighting.

You'll have plenty you can't ignore. We're taking you down! For Suswave! For Sus.wav! For our forum!
SuswAIve: Ohohohohohoho! You made me feel something. : - )
That hurt quite a bit.
I guess I can’t keep ignoring this little development, can I?
How… fascinating. : - )
Gambit Viable!GAMBIT:
Monkeys are a communal species and often work together to help the troop out…sort of like edification…I call a a TROOP EDIFICATION GAMBIT! Any time someone edifies a member of another faction, that member gets a 7X STRIKE multiplier on SuswAIve

Even support is helping us? Consider yourself the best support I've ever had the pleasure of talking to.Hi, gang! @Suswave Support here. I don’t know if this goes against the rules…
…but I STRIKE SUSWAIVE in the name of ME!
I imagine that is a fairly low bar, lolEven support is helping us? Consider yourself the best support I've ever had the pleasure of talking to.
Gambit Viable!2uswave's blade is glowing. I think that she will be instrumental in SuswAIve's defeat, but we need to give her an opening!
GAMBIT: I read aloud to SuswAIve an informative (if perhaps a little dry) book discussing the ethics of the use of AI in tabletop games in an attempt to distract it, giving 2uswave a crucial opening!
I have some luck here and there. The most hit or miss ones are food delivery services. Talk to corporate support? The worst experience I've ever had, you barely get to talk to a person and you gotta spend ages to get a refund for what is likely just a simple mistake. Get the restaurant on hold? Extremely courteous, would buy from them again. Tip your delivery drivers well, folks!I imagine that is a fairly low bar, lol
I STRIKE SuswAIve in the name of BOOKS!
When that online comes out? It's all over. Suika all day every day!It's quite cool Suika gets a two player mode which I felt really was lacking in the original. Now, Suika 99 when?
I personally would rather wait until we at least have updated HP and DIGNITY counts. As soon as the next update, we should probably detonate at least one of them though.
2uswave: If anyone wants to detonate a LIMINAL FACTION, I can put it on a timer to hit with the next UPDATE.
If you’d rather save them and grow them, you can do that too! Just remember that GAMBITS can damage them, and our time is limited…
I STRIKE SUSWAIVE IN THE NAME OF FAMIBOARDS!
It’s cool. I think the attack mode will be fun….speaking of attackIt's quite cool Suika gets a two player mode which I felt really was lacking in the original. Now, Suika 99 when?
