4 years radio silence for low budget Bayonetta?  Better set your expectations for Metroid Prime 4 accordingly.

[tiesto]

Foreman Spike being in the Mario movie is fucking awesome. And he is played by the comedian-of-choice for gen-X Long Islanders.

[Nintex]

All those washed out unfiltered grey textures are going to look great on OLED? 

Exclusive Metroid Prime 4 footage




Metroid Dread looked great btw

Hello, everyone! This is Yusuke Miyata, the director of Bayonetta 3. We’ve kept you waiting for a very long time, but I’m very happy that we’ve finally been able to bring you a new trailer.

This is my first time working on the Bayonetta series [...]

[Boredfrom]

Update your subscription for a service that is  barely worth the money. The fact that one of those games is operation winback is lol

[Let's Cyber]

We finally see Bayo 3 and a bunch of whiny fuckers cry about it.

Pretty 'meh' Direct, but...

[bork]

With that emphasis on controlling large monsters, I can't help but wonder if someone decided to take things from Scalebound and use them in Bayonetta 3.

[Let's Cyber]

At first I thought it was Bayo 3, then for a moment I thought it was going to be Project G.G., then Astral Chain 2 and finally Bayo 3 again. 

[Nintex]

Pretty 'meh' Direct, but...

It was a weird direct. Also felt like Koizumi was phoning it in and about ready for that Tencent money bag.

[tiesto]

Kinda feels like the direct they should've had in 2020 (with all announced to be released in 2021) but got pushed back cuz of the rona.

Like pretty much every PS State of Play 

So I guess with the rickety but still classic 64 Zelda's coming to Online, guess that debunks any rumors of the OoT Remake and/or the 3DS Remasters being ported to Switch?  If so, I may up and sell my Switch after Dread and BOTW2.

[Great Rumbler]

At first I thought it was Bayo 3, then for a moment I thought it was going to be Project G.G., then Astral Chain 2 and finally Bayo 3 again. 

I want Astral Chain 2 more than Bayo 3. 

[Svejk]

Only thing new that interested me in that direct was Actraiser Renaissance, and come to find it's already on PC. 

[Sho Nuff]

The only interesting thing in that ND was wireless N64 controllers

Those things are a fucking manufacturing nightmare and I thought they were gonna be stupidly expensive, but apparently they're just jacking up the price of the Genesis pad to also be $50 to make up for it 

[Rahxephon91]

It’s Bayonetta so I’m probably going to like it regardless of what it looks like.

[Bebpo]

Castlevania GBA collection is cool. I always liked Circle of the Moon but it got panned a lot because before the GBA SP it was too dark of a game for a non-backlit screen. Harmony was alright and Aria was good.

I really wish the collection had the three DS metroidvanias as well so it'd be a complete metroidvania (sans SoTN) collection. Does anyone really want the SNES version of Drac X? After the PC Engine version and the PSP version it feels like the most uninteresting Drac X. Also it's not a metroidvania, why is it in this package?

[benjipwns]

Actual insider uncovered:

[bork]

Looks pretty impressive.

[Bebpo]

I don't care about DBZ, but Monolith should do another DBZ game, this time using the Xenoblade engine.

[Bebpo]

Finally tried the Wario demo. Man, this game fucking sucks. Why do I have to use all these characters, some who control way worse than others and make mini-games harder just because the controls suddenly suck? What a terrible campaign idea.

Time to pick up that DIY one I missed on DS instead.

[Don Rumata]

Finally Mayonetta 3.

The new haircut and (especially) the new voice though are... 

[HardcoreRetro]

I wonder if it's meant to be Cereza and you team up with the older Bayonetta.

[Don Rumata]

Yeah, i hope it's something like that.

I guess they'll sell us the DS Vanias later for another $20, I'd have paid $40 for all six games right now.

I keep seeing this- Cereza IS Bayonetta, no?

They'd have to actually do some work to change up or remove the touchscreen stuff (even though rom hacks have already done this), and it's Konami, so not expecting it.

She's a younger version from an alternate timeline.

Hold up, so you're telling me there's an actual story to these games other than mo-cap pole dancing?

Had to go look this up:

After Balder's defeat, Bayonetta rescues Cereza and returns her to her own time, singing to her as she tucks her into bed. This chain of events ends up creating a new universe, which this version of Cereza inhabits.


Cereza stands alongside Jeanne in the new timeline.

In the new altered timeline, she instead wears the Umbran Watch on her at all times. Because of this, the stab which sets off the ritual that sealed her failed and instead strikes the watch. Instead of losing her will to fight, she is inspired by her future self, whom she had met and mistaken as her authentic mother. As a result, she retains her fighting spirit after witnessing her actual mother's death and fights off the angels and people of the Witch Hunts alongside Jeanne.

This change allows her to awaken the power of the Left Eye, which affects both the parallel universe the time-displaced Cereza inhabits, and the Main Universe's counterpart.

So yeah, I guess that could be it...

...or it's just a hairstyle change.

Did you not play Bayonetta?

[BIONIC]

The games have 15+ minute cutscenes, and have detailed lore entries. Kamiya takes this shit serious

[Svejk]

Ass here, titties there, bondage, violence and witchcraft with Sega nods is all I paid attention to.

[HardcoreRetro]

This was basically my reaction to the movie announcement as well.

[paprikastaude]

Miyamoto has long become gaming's George Lucas.

[Let's Cyber]

I'm going to grab Actraiser today, apparently it has some new tracks by the original composer so that's pretty sweet.  $30 is kinda steep but I feel obligated to support random remakes of 16-bit games I loved as a kid.

I hear the Switch version has some spotty performance. Unless handheld is paramount, might be better getting it on another system.

Ah, I see. Will grab the PS version instead, thanks for looking out.

Whenever I see a Bayonetta trailer and it has cutscenes I'm just like whyyyyyyyyyy

I wish action games had no cutscenes at all. Especially incredibly terrible cutscene/story ones like Bayo. I remember Bayo 2 had pretty much the worst story stuff ever in an action game. Even worse than DMC2!

[BIONIC]

Eh, I enjoy DMC and Bayonetta-brand schlock.

I admittedly hated the dipshit kid in B2 though 

[paprikastaude]

All I remember from the Bayo2 story is that I liked how it connected to the first game pretty well.

You didn't remember a terrible annoying kid

Anyhow Bayo 3 reminded people of Scalebound because the director of Bayo 3 was the lead designer on Scalebound.

No, he wasn't the director.  That was Kamiya.  But-

https://mobile.twitter.com/synaesthesiajp/status/1441214956288892939

Now it's pretty clear why it reminds of SB.

[team filler]

bayo 3 will be the best in the series, mashallah

[paprikastaude]

The only things that Bayonetta trailer reminded me of is low budget action games like No More Heroes and Devil's Third.

[The Sceneman]

Advancevanias is a good thing, will buy once I get around to beating super Metroid.

Do existing subscribers get the N64 stuff or do you have to pay for upgrade?

And did anyone else get No More Heroes 3? I'm enjoying it. Flawed of course but the presentation and music are just so cool

[Bebpo]

You have to pay extra and the game selection is weak unfortunately.
Otherwise an N64 emulator with rewind and save states would be nice. Though most N64 games don't hold up all that well.

[Nintex]

In Europe we get the 50hz PAL ROMS

[HardcoreRetro]

It'll work great on the 60hz portable screen.

Refresh rate lottery in 2021 lmao


Also when remake of Sin & Punishment 2, that game was amazing.

[The Sceneman]

That's the entire library? I'll pay a buck for Sin and Punishment

[Nintex]

That's the entire library? I'll pay a buck for Sin and Punishment

I think that's it for launch and then they'll add more, like a ROM of Banjo Kazooie later.

https://twitter.com/NintendoEurope/status/1441175350436786180

[HardcoreRetro]

Remember how they fixed the framerate for PAL games on the WiiU. Inserting dead frames. Gonna be great.

[Nintex]

I liked how everything ran at 50% brightness for no reason. Unless you paused it.

[demi]

My man, they are charging $50 for an ali-express controller for N64 and Genesis. They arent charging a buck for extra ROMs

[The Sceneman]

Okay I had better get googling cos I am super confused lol

And turns out Castlevania is on Xbox with achievements and I have some $$ siting on my account to pay for it, so I will be getting it on that system lol

The chances of Beyo 2 and Beyo 3 being ported to PS5 and XBOX aren't zero ... Nintendo just has to decide ...
 By the same theory, the possibility that Mario and Zelda can play on PS5 etc. is not zero ...
 Please do your best and continue to send enthusiastic requests to Nintendo ...
 By the way, I would buy hard quickly ...

Today's my mom's bday, so [you know what] that means

*every character from every game, comic, cartoon, TV show, movie, and book reality come in with everything for a party*
