>>718699348
Ah man, give rgg a break, the only thing that stopped them of putting their games on switch was the shit hardware, you think that a Japanese didn't want to put their games on it?

The friendly fire is hilarious, but that still makes trump the enemy of vidya since he went after Nintendo.

>>718699494
This game is gonna sell a lot in tendies platform, now the switch doesn't have garbage hardware.

How much will Legends 2 sell?

Same. Mega Drag is fine, but not very interesting.

>>718700107
I justify keeping him there because he made Eric seethe during the election. I'd just as soon add "Israel won/Hamas lost" because that also pisses him off, as seen in the weird pro-Islam meltdown he had a few weeks back.

>>718700680
Where is it?

>>718700625
He's very much here. He's trying to reinvent himself after irreparably tarnishing his reputation and becoming an lolcow

>>718700625
hopefully he died

>>718700109

>>718700390
Well chaddeck is obviously the best way to play their games, but Japan is the land of tendies, Sega was expecting the new switch to come out to start porting.

>>718700769
Eric is a MIGA though, they use the same tactics. It's uncanny.

>>718700625
I think he fucked off around June, some people speculate it's because he can't pretend that he played a game through emulation because the Switch 2 isn't emulateable yet.

I don't want to alarm anybody but Kirby and the Forgotten Land + Star-Crossed World is 1st on eShop already.

>>718699953
>the only thing that stopped them of putting their games on switch was the shit hardware
No, only the Dragon Engine games was never thought to run on Switch, it works on PS4 with underwhelming results btw.
Kiwami, 3-5 ports were always able to run on Switch, you can argue that the DE games too if they put some effort but that would be not worth imo.

Is Play Asia still the only good way to import Switch games to europe? even paying premium shipping they take so long to get here.

>>718700109
The design is goofy enough that I actually kind of like it.
Shame they went with a another gen 1 Mega instead of a later one though. I'd love to see gen 5 get some love again.
Hell something from each of the later gens to keep it interesting.

>>718700625
>>718700940
Nah he made the copypasta about sakurai.

The whole Bellsprout line is full of goofy looking motherfuckers.

>>718700556
macaco begone

>missed the Nintendeen crashout
Fuck, I bet the video was boring as sin as always but still. He still seems to be clinging to the idea of the Switch 2 numbers being fudged due to Famitsu overtracking prior to Nintendo's quarterly report.

>>718701016
Bro your mega emboar?

>>718701023

>>718700827
>>>/trash/
Pick one and stop shitting up every Mario thread

>>718700109
Way, waaaaay, better than Arceus. Arceus was sandwiched between BDSP (I know, lmao) and Scarlet/Violet.

Pokefags don't have anything else close to Z-A, there's a reason Champions was hyped up for 2026.
Allegedly Gen10 is going to be China-based, so it's going to be big.

>>718701153
The one where he copes about sakurai being stifled by Nintendo (as if there was some contract clause, when he can literally work for anyone he pleases since Sora LLC is a shell company.)

>>718700929
Calling for Israel and America to be nuked and defending the Prophet Muhammad being a pedophile are decidedly not MIGA. I'll grant that he has similar tactics but that's because it's just insane coping against reality in both cases.

>>718701119
They're doing ones for the az starters? I've not been following very closely

>>718701228
When did it change to China? I thought the rumor was Greece?

>>718701268
That's actual MIGA because they hate Israeli as much as any rational person.

>>718700940
He's still around, if you see someone concern-trolling while shitting on Nintendo, it's actrans

>>718701287
yeah. There's an image floating around with the leaks. Mega Dragonite and Victreebel confirm it's real.

>>718701287
Yes they are.

>>718701175
Who used the term "Gamecubesnoys" in the /smbg/ thread?

>>718701070
You didn't miss out much. He was just repeating the same thing every anti-nintendo fag has said about the fanbase being cultists that defend everything nintendo does

>>718700109
First tranny pokemon, we need to clap at nintendo.

>>718701228
Gen 10 is supposedly taking place on a Greek-like region, and if they truly want then the victreebel trailer visuals might be what it looks like

>>718701228
Z-A also has online battles unlike Arceus, so that will help too.

>>718701525
Lol he deleted his shill rant video

>>718700827
everyone hates you

>>718701673
Hope someone saved it just like they did for that robingaming super mario PS4 video. These fuckers don't get to live their shame down

>>718701023
If that's the one about his talents being wasted on Nintendo, I'm autistic enough to recognise different posters' prose and that really doesn't read like his

>>718700109
Aaaah, eto... Bleh!

>>718701261
this is such a retarded take too

as if sakurai wanted to make mature gaymes for mature gaymers when he made it clear that he didn't like overly competitive games and wanted to make sure everyone could have fun even shitty casuals

>>718701760
Well everyone sure did believe that Bananza Pauline was Mario's daughter back in early April, before the hack happened.

Snoys are sacrificed each day to keep him alive.

>>718702724
Have you forgotten? It's only bad if Nintendo does it. Nintendo is the only evil company

>>718701381
Still glossing over the part about nuking the whole West along with Israel. Not exactly consistent with wanting to save Evropean civilization. I also swear he even named Trump directly in one of his "SLIT YOUR FUCKING THROAR" episodes. If Eric was pro-Trump in one time period it was only because he was sure the tariffs would hurt Nintendo more than Playstation. Now that the opposite is true expect him to flip-flop on Trump. They may have even been what prompted the weird intifada meltdown, assuming we still believe in the theory he has some insider information that prompts him to freak out for seemingly no reason at times.

>>718703057
At this point it's more sense it's a false flag. Notice how when Nintendo was forced to increase prices because of trump's tariffs, it was all about Nintendo's greed, but when trump stabs them in the back and sony raises prices too, they call out trump.
No honor among thieves.

Felt good.

Why even bring up the tariffs? Sony announced literally last week that they had moved enough manufacturing out of china to supply the US market, and were now tariff proof. Snoys even bragged that now there was no chance of the ps5 having a price increase due to tariffs. Sony themselves even said this was about "profitability", not tariffs.

>>718703475

>>718702715
PS3 was good compared with the piss5

>>718704625
The palworld stuff was exponentially more blatant, and even then, it wasn't the crux of the case, the mechanics themselves were. Palworld is also being sued in japan, while tencent is being sued in china, which at that point, it's literally better to save your money and not rock the boat.

>>718704852
Combat sure but they could learn a lot from E33’s writing, exploration, and character-building

>>718703374
I don't what you mean by false flag. He is simply a pro-Sony schizo. He is world view revolves around Sony. If it's good for Sony it's good ontologically. If it's bad for Sony it's le bad. He frames Nintendo raising prices as being greed because it's a worse look than being forced to by government intervention. It's that simple.

>>718705093
I'll add to this. His entire "leftism is le good" schtick is solely because people called sony things like leftist and woke as pejoratives, and while he used to try saying "actually, nintendo is le woke, and sony is le based!" he (mostly) gave up because even less people buy it than his normal routines.

The game is good because it purposefully goes out of its way to be bothersome?

>>718702724
Guess they're going after Scribblenauts for having the robosaur in 2009.

>I'll add to this. His entire "leftism is le good" schtick is solely because people called sony things like leftist and woke as pejoratives, and while he used to try saying "actually, nintendo is le woke, and sony is le based!" he (mostly) gave up because even less people buy it than his normal routines.
Exactly. To tie that back to the start of this topic, that's the reason "Trump won/Kamala lost" was added in the first place and why it makes sense to stay. I also just like the ritual post as a marker post of significant happenings and having it lose items that it's accumulated would detract from that.

>>718705865
man he looks more like a taco than a japanese

>>718705865
hopefully he loses his job and tekken gets nuked

the tekken fanbase is the worst kind of third world brown ghetto nigger paki sludge you can think of, subhuman don't even begin to describe it

>>718705865
Harada is driven by his hate for a fucking dead man and his insane obsessive love for Sony.
He will cut his leg off to spite a fucking ghost.

>>718706280
the thing is those people play on arcades than on consoles

>>718702939
Every day they sacrifice 10 rival consoles to keep him alive

>>718706386
Tekken has been dead on arcades since 6.

>>718706164
right? it turns out that putting multiple ports in the plastic place designed to throw away the heat of the system was a bad idea. even more funny than that is the fact that nobody complained about this specific issue before those events, meaning nobody used those ports or played for enough time for this to happen

>>718706408
Oh so that's who's been buying the couple dozen PS4's every week. Nintendo wouldn't poison him with a PS5 sacrifice.

>>718706430
Part of it is the fact that the ps5 has a jet engine fan, but when you put a few of them next to each other, they're just recycling each others superheated exhaust

>>718706429
in the west? sure. but that's arcades in general
arcades still carry tekken 7 (fully updated even) and tag 2

>>718705970
I don't believe you have played either game. It's incredible to try and lie about two games in a thread full of people that actually plays them.

>>718704943
spit is a hell of a drug, anon.
Why does he hates nintendo so much? maybe for this >>718704453, but who knows.

maybe he's just a schizo or maybe he's a glownigger.

>>718706201
Getting lost isn’t “bothersome” it’s an important part of any exploration game. The fact that you can’t see that shows you don’t actually care about exploration.

>>718707093
anon you don't get "lost" in an exploration game, they often give you hints. You're probably thinking of "wandering off" which this game never lets you do.
I swear this game doesn't have any control customization it'd be seen as a positive because it's in fucking E33.

>go to gematsu to check if these are real numbers or not
>he's already released enough stories to push it off the front page

How much do we think Air Riders does opening week?

How did Forgotten Land/Discovery do over there?

>>718706280
are they worse than smashfags?

t. smashfag who hates the "community"

>>718708556
I'll give it a conservative 175k opening weekend, Kirby's HUGE in Japan but it'll still be coming on the heels of World

>>718708556
>How much do we think Air Riders does opening week?
idk probably somewhere around 250k~350k
>How did Forgotten Land/Discovery do over there?
380k FW, 1.2M LTD

>>718708556
1.5 million minimum

>>718708738
>t. smashfag who hates the "community"
That's a low bar to clear to be honest since the "community" is so shit.

Honestly, I don't know too much about the FGC community other than that they are regarded slightly better than Smashfags.

>>718708738
Best way to put it:
Take the Street Fighter fanbase and inject them with /int/ tier shitflinging

>>718708738
smashfags are just the usual westoid that hates anime and anything too anime or too kiddy, their only real issues is the cognitive dissonance spergouts over playing a children's party game competitively, the bad body hygiene memes, and the occasional grooming incident
yes they are a dogshit community but are so in a traditional way
in the other hand tekken pakis are advanced monkeys, you know the macaco? people like that seem sane in the tekken community by comparison

>>718708738
not worse than smelee but worse than ultimate

>>718708738

Meelefags are human garbage.
Ultimatefags are ironic weebs or normalfaggots.

And Amsa. That man legitimately has no enemies.

>>718708556
If it's as good as it looks I could see it reaching a milly eventually, but due to the Switch 2 install base I think it'll have a soft launch, around 200k sounds about right

Mald loser.

>>718709826
It depends on how much stock they'll have flowing for sure. One thing working in Air Riders favor is that by release Nintendo will have the Pokemon Switch 2 bundle out in the wild as well so that could boost console availability.

>>718709904
Sony's had a lot of bad news as of late and Capcom was forced to admit Wilds was a mistake.

>>718708556
The weird thing is how close it is to Mario Kart World so I could see people waiting on getting it, seeing what others think and whatnot.

>>718709904
and mind you it's fairly tame compared to the caliber of bad news for snoys we got this week
mostly because the caco is too busy sperging out on silksong threads trying to force a rivalry between it and E33 and doing damage control on PiS5 price increase threads

>>718700556

Why use it to shitpost?

>>718710001
Ye, the Yoshi main. ESAM's the other guy you're thinking of.

>>718710204
The trailer is actually up on the xboner official channel and we already know it's coming out for NSW2.
It may unironically not be on snoy consoles when the official kikestation jewtube channels have rolled the red carpet for less.

Reminder these are the people who are blaming the PS5 price increase on Nintendo

>>718710323
The average person knows most World antis have a tendency to misrepresent the game when possible.

>>718711012
by now in no small thanks to niggers like nintendeen that keep overextending and spreading easily disproven misinfo i feel like even normalfags are starting to have NDS fatigue
i feel like we are reaching a critical point where reddit/jewtube/twitter gayops against japan are no longer working
which may be why five eyes countries are rushing to try lock down the internet, because there's unironically just 2 steps or less between "i don't buy all of this "criticism" against japan when my country is doing far worse" and "death to all jews"

One of the cherry members literally trooned out, the dev team crumbled as a result.
Their offices have been empty since 2022 IIRC (it's probably still the most upvoted post on their subreddit), the game has been sitting completed on nintendo's vault since then most likely.

>>718708556
Kirby is a huge franchise now and the direct was extremely well received in Japan, and the fanbase exploded with memes and hype, and even if I don't like it Sakurai's name carries hype with him. Only reason I see it doing lower than Forgotten Land is the install base, so maybe a 200k to 300k opening.
The question is if it will be a Pikmin situation where it only overperforms in Japan.

>>718712151
I'm literally relaying a story of what OTHER people were saying.

>>718712431
You're talking to an unhinged sperg, don't expect to get through to him.

>>718712352
>Kirby is a huge franchise now
>now
Kirby has always been "huge" in japan, it just never did "the big bucks" like mario kart or BOTW.
If I can say "never did, until now" or not it's yet to be seen, but I predict it will at the bare minimum do numbers 20% better than bananza, and that's a very doomfag lowball.
It will probably debut to 250k-300k-ish in famitsu numbers.

>>718705082
This has to be bait lmao

>>718708123
I wanted to believe. It was a fun theory.

>>718712697
Kirby outside Japan took time to really blow up. In part because the 90s were the peak of X-Treme Kool thinking so a cutesy pink ball had an uphill fight. I say the point Kirby started to pick up outside Japan was around the two-punch of Melee's release and Kirby Right Back at Ya airing.

to think of it, AAs and indies not releasing games on a console is probably their coalmine canary, especially with how easy it is to port to everything now and how doing so is a cheap extra bucks
japanese AAs like inti are already skipping the snoystation, and indies have been basically switch-only there since the DT2 fiasco really sank in almost 2 years later with the continuous attacks on niche jp vidya, by now basically almost no VNs get localized, let alone actually released on steam itself
now if silksong not being on the snoystation is true it would unironically be the final nail in the coffin because it means even indies don't think it's profitable to be on snoy consoles
if so that would make gta6 the company's final terminal lucidity moment before it flatlines for good

>>718711679
They already did right after the trailer dropped

>>718713363
No one is gonna buy silksong on Xbox nor playstation, if the latter even gets it. The gamescom line for Silksong on Switch 2 was stupidly long while no one was going to Xbox's in contrast

No shit? That would have been the case if World was $60.

>>718714628
He recorded it before Sony announced the price increase then? Funny timing

>>718705865
Bamco in general don't really seems to be interested on Nintendo platforms unless nintendo step in and pay them somehow, isn't just Harada.

Really bizarre given that made a whole new division to deal with whatever Nintendo project and fact that pokeyman is one of their biggest moneymaker.

KH IV was announced on 2022.

These 2 are unreleasium enriched by SE being incompetent fucks.

Fun/Sad fact. - Nomura said a little after FFVII Remake announcement that he didn't wanted to be stuck with FFVII for a decade or so, but he knew it was more likely than not to take that much time.
That was on 2016, next year will be a decade.

>>718714190
This is the average videogame youtuber:

>>718714628
feels like trying to use retro emulation to try attack nintendo through chinky devices that come preloaded with roms is just going to backfire in like a decade and half when those chink kids grow up
it's just going to be what brazil and india are today for snoy thanks to the ps2 but with snes/64/GC/wii nintendo instead
hell that shit already backfired in spic countries that aren't brazil with those external USB hard drives with a gorillion roms preloaded that were sold around the early 10s, now those countries are switch 2 countries

>>718715119
Anon, Brazil have huge nostalgia over snes, internet really exaggerate stuff with sega.

Also switch is cheaper than PS5.

>>718714970
If these two underperform in any way, that's gonna be bad for SE. They desperately need some win after the shitshow with Rebirth and XVI.

>>718714970
>Fun/Sad fact. - Nomura said a little after FFVII Remake announcement that he didn't wanted to be stuck with FFVII for a decade or so, but he knew it was more likely than not to take that much time.
Maybe he should have made a FF7 remake instead of 3 fanficton sequels.

>>718715474
He was the only guy that tried to make it a Remake. Nojima and Kitase pushed for the Compilation stuff that we have now.
>>718715426
I can see KH IV flopping, fans are old now and their supposed "New Saga" plan has been falling apart.
I don't see DQ XII failing, the HD-2D remake was succesful and even Monsters did well a couple of years ago.

>>718715426
KH4 is almost guaranteed to underperform, KH3 was SE's TLOU2.
In other words, big numbers based on a hyped sequel and tons of fan goodwill, only for both casual and hardcore fans to come out soured from the experience and swearing off the franchise.
Which mind you is impressive given how much normalfag hype was surrounding the game, with CONSTANT 2-5 hour long lore videos summing up the plot so people could go in directly to KH3 without playing a gorillion games across a dozen consoles and phones.
As for DQ it may be dead on the water already, DQ had a lot of following when it was a borderline yearly game and both kids and adults could get hyped for it.
Radio silence since 2017 with just one pokemon clone spinoff like last year that they shadowdropped is really not a good look.

Now to be fair to Dragon Quest, they weren't expecting both their lead composer and character designer to die in the middle of development.

>>718715768
They can still pull out the Marvel and Star Wars card lmao

But yeah, KH3 really just kinda just came and went. Got outsold by Nier Automata even.

>>718716439
? It's running at 60fps pretty much locked. Doesn't save it from being a shit game on a fundamental level regardless

>>718716548

>>718716548

>>718716318
>plus Z is a double release
How is that a bad thing? It gets them more sales from the larger install base while those with a Switch 2 get a better experience.

>>718716707
2B still gets some following if only because of the porn and her design, I remember the collab on gook blade did get some decent sales numbers.
But yeah they basically squandered the franchise.

>>718716318
Those were barely playable, Arceus runs just fine.

>>718716548
KH3 had two major things working against it:
1] Trying to wrap of 20 FUCKING YEARS of kudzu tier character and plot progression across endless spinoffs because Nomura is the video game equivalent of Tite Kubo
2] Nomura also still being butthurt about Versus XIII getting cannibalized by Square and outright stapling his old ideas to KH3 with the grace of a swan covered in cement

>>718716318
S/V is mainline and the best selling Mon title on Switch. They might have also been too busy with the two ZA SKUs and the S/V patch to do Arceus at the same time.

Meltdown status?

>>718717149
he's busy with Silksong

>>718717149
Not quite but close

>>718716548
KH3 dropped like a stone because by the time it actually came out, the hype had aged like milk and the target audience had either moved on or was too confused by the hundred spin-offs on random consoles. You can’t coast on “Disney + anime boy with a keyblade” forever, especially when you make Goofy talk about hearts like he’s in Evangelion. Nier Automata had a fresh hook, amazing music, and Taro’s special brand of "wtf" storytelling at peak execution. KH3 just felt like a PS2 game with PS4 lighting and none of the soul.

>>718716707
Nintendo never really changed their business view. And you can check this by reading interviews, specially with external devs like monolith, retro or even mercury stream.

They are really dedicated to their craft despite everything. Only trend they are following as now is media expansion.

There is no overlap what the fuck, not to mention that devs have interest in port, which probably going happen very soon.

Digimon release same time as pokeyman and I see nothing.

>>718718035
Nintendo worked with Sakaguchi. Last story was pretty much not FF in everything.

>>718717562
An underrated aspect of Nintendo that I've never seen anyone besides Nintendo Forecast bring up is that their headquarters being in Kyoto ties them to a strong tradition of craftsmanship and artisanry that sets them apart from not just the rest of the world but even other Japanese devs who are primarily based in Tokyo plus Capcom in Osaka.

>>718716475
SE pre-flops would have LOVED to do that but they can't do shit about what platforms Dragon Quest games come out on. Now they're begrudgingly embracing Nintendo because sticking with Sony will end up killing them.

>>718718260
That would require journos to research japanese stuff beyond whatever the first google result or literal GPT gives them.

>>718718229
>e33 still has a fanbase? feels like all of them evaporated after the shill money ran dry
Nah, they'll keep on dickriding that game until it gets a Switch 2 port and then it'll suddenly be deemed overrated like P5

>>718700109
Look like it edging, tied the top so it can’t come.

>>718718260
>Capcom in Osaka.
somehow this doesn't surprise me in the slightest

>>718717229
It literally sold as well as KH1&2's original PS2 releases. Nice round 6 million heh heh. The older games at least found a new lease on life through Epic/Steam releases and modding. If KH4 can stick the landing as a fresh start I think the series has good prospects.

>>718718260
That and starting as a toy company taught them that RETENTION is everything. Nintendo didn't end up with some of the strongest brands on Earth by accident.

>>718715768
I've never played a single KH, but I've absorbed a decent chunk of the story through sheer cultural osmosis, including many of the spinoffs. All I know about 3 is that there was toy story in it, right?

>>718718584
The KH collection being cloud only on Switch was one of the most baffling decisions I've seen a company make.
They could've made bank from the hype of Sora and Smash but nooo, gotta go all stupid.

>>718718931
Reminder that the entire crux of eric's "the switch is weaker than a ps2!" cope spam was specifically that

>>718718931
Nigga, SNK did jackshit besides samsho and KOF XIII, not even porting UM releases to switch.

And then you have fatlus with ultra late P5 port. Honestly Nintendo should had told them to eat shit.

>>718703826
Zoids want their design back.

>>718718931
Half of that was laziness
The other half was that the PS3 build of KH1+2 was an absolute coding nightmare they would have had to untangle to get running on Switch architecture

>>718718931
I guarantee you they cop'd out of a real release because of cart sizes. 1.5+2.5 could easily run on Switch and is a PS4 release so it's not even like it's super archaic to port. But SE are lazy, penny pinching niggers outside of game budgets. Maybe it could get a key card release with the story so far content but I wouldn't count on it.

>>718718998
The real reason why Squeenix is now in the deep is karmic retribution for giving the schizo ideas.

>Another shonen arena fighter
>not on switch

Feels like they never fucking learn.

>>718705068
>sue tencent
>sue tencent in XINA
Kek, it will cost Sony a ton while the case will keep dragging for a long time.

>>718719103
Feels surreal now to to think that there really was a time where P5 wasn't on Switch.

>>718718998
He also said that P5R was a cloud version, despite there being a physical version and he kinda predicted Game-Key Cards by saying that you'd need the card to play the cloud version

>>718719435
>Try to sell yourself to China
>Learn the hard way why this is actually a bad idea
Every time.

>>718719453
>and he kinda predicted Game-Key Cards by saying that you'd need the card to play the cloud version
he really didn't, that's just projecting from how games work on the pis5
not only pis5 games (90% of the time) effectively force you to install the entire game on the ssd before you can boot it with a convenient 20-50gb update before being able to boot it, you still need the disk in the console to play it anyway, making effectively all pis5 games have securom by default

>>718719447
Golden's ports doing gangbusters when ATLUS didn't expect it to and SEGA telling them "WHY AREN'T WE MAKING MORE MONEY" were the real impetus.

>>718719447
Persona staff really hates nintendo for some reason, despite SMT have strong association with platform, aside nocturne engine games.

>>718719103
Weird to think how Mexicans grew into being a Nintendo audience and SNK did nothing to retain them when they were the most loyal SNKfags ever. I mean, they still are but what is SNK even doing nowadays.

>>718719447
This really was a watershed moment for this board and even wider vidya fandom. Portbegging has never felt the same and I believe around the same time was when Snoy started announcing more PC ports.

>>718719636
Faglus (and let's be real, RGG and the sakura wars teams as well) got too comfortable during the PSO2 golden era where sega was milking the phantasy star and sonic teams and didn't gave a fuck about what the other teams were doing.
Now the geriatrics of the company retired (sonic team, SW team) or straight up died of a HRT infused heart attack (PSO2) and faglus/RGG are finding the hard way they have to provide for their sega house after wasting their golden years as sheltered college kids doing drugs.

>>718719636
They jumped ship to Sony because they wanted CD quality audio and FMVs and because they saw that the Saturn was living on borrowed time [though only after killing Majin Tensei with RONDO.] But then they put Devil Children 2 on GBA and it did well enough to get a direct sequel and a weird puzzle spinoff.

>>718719813
It became apparent that people don't actually like games. They just like knowing that X game is not on Y system which is why you see everything get thrown under the bus the moment it does get a port.

>>718719707
I might actually give the new FF a shot if they port it to Switch 2.

>>718719434
Especially since Demon Slayer is still charting on Switch while on PS its already fallen out of the top 10. You'd think third parties would figure out skipping the leading console is a bad idea hell even Sega can keep up with their Sonic releases on Switch any other titles with their names usually the fault of Atlas cause they are morons.

MORE bad news for Sony.
>>718704835
$3.6 Billion and the boss quits before releasing a game.

>Someone uploads 20 minute footage of elden ring running on switch 2
>game runs decent
Why did IGN lied about the game running like ass?

>>718719707
i know a few 40+ spics that are still into gaming
they tell me of a mythical era before dinosaurs roamed the earth where KOF was more popular than dragon-fucking-ball and swear they are not bullshitting

>>718719945
Holy hell.
>PS5 price increace
>Sony-India EVO
>Now this
No wonder he seethed super pre-emptively.

>>718719951
because like all journalists, they are on Sony's payroll.

>>718719962
Arcades were GODS in LatAM for a good while so that tracks. Also, Dragonball only became the meta over there after Saint Seiya/Los Caballeros del Zodiaco finally died off.

>>718719951
>we weren't allowed to show footage
>therefore we can make up anything about it
Just showing their true colours like always. Any excuse for some clicks whilst it's harder, but not impossible, to disprove

>>718705865
>get told be a former sony ceo that nintendo is doing the right thing right now by lowering game budgets
so funny how he just worship sony, but refuse to take advice if its anyway connected to nintendo
instead, he greenlights this massive blunder

>>718719636
>>718719887
The SMT/devil team has a decently positive track record with nintendo thanks to the 3DS, reminder a lot of people that worked on SMT also worked on EO.
Fagsona was largely a vita series until it was clear the vita was facing the wall about to be executed for the heinous crime of being too japanese.

>>718719945
Can you imagine how many fucking games they could have made with all those millions they wasted on the Concord studio and Bungie lmao

Bravo Jimbo

>>718719962
They were correct although it didn't take long for Dragon Ball to overtake tekino faiters

>>718719945
didn't they fucking drop 1 billion in that buy out to retain talent? then they fired some people, and now the CEO is gone?

>>718719945
Press S to spit.

>>718720097
speaking of zodiac knights, they also have a tendency of calling them "armpit knights" in english and laugh every time i don't get the joke
please explain i'm literally shitting myself in anticipation

>>718719945
Oh. That is the first rat leaping off of a sinking ship. Marathon's in deeper trouble than we thought.

>>718720395
Zodiaco sounds like Sobaco, which can mean "Armpit".

>>718719945
>>718720074
>Another nigger runs away with a golden parachute before shit gets too grim.
Bungie's OG staff are such destructive kikes they never fail to impress me.

>>718716009

>>718720173
>largely a Vita series
Um, what? You mean the two times with P4? It was entirely on Playstation as a whole but not primarily the fucking Vita, anon.

>>718720447
thats the stupidest joke i have heard in a while and i hate i actually chuckled at the explanation

>>718720442
it's just the fucking CEO
i mean, who needs that

Bungie getting ready to buy itself once again
I wonder who will be the ones to buy them next

Jeet containment thread.

>>718720561
desu the dancing spinoff games were vita too

nta

>>718720442
But Nintendoomed

>>718720618
and it'll be when their value is at its lowest
genius

>>718719945
Holy shit this week keeps getting better

Destiny fans seem happy about this.

>>718719913
Kimetsu is aniplex/sega, albeit CC2 still is the developer.

Does god hate Sony? what's with all the bad news all at once

>>718720561
Not to move the goalpost but you know what I meant, and yeah I was thinking primarily about P4 which was when the series really hit mainstream.
P3 is not really liked by modern fagsona fags and the few ones that do like it are OGs that usually hate what modern faglus has become.

>>718720623
This isn't the EVO thread brought to you by Sony.
Sony, the company that gives you bobs and vegana Saar.

>>718720774
Karma is a very real thing.

>>718719434
>>718719913
which new game

>>718720643
What the fuck I didn't know those got Vita releases too. Still an odd point to make though since P5 was always going to release on PS3 and PS4. It was hardly a Vita series so much as it had games on Vita, two successes and the two worst performing titles in Atlus' history.

>>718720765
Considering that game is absolutely dead, I'm surprised there are players left.

>>718719951
I will answer you with a question of my own, why did those fake news drop on the same day Sony announced a price increase for their products?

This isn't the end for bad news for snoy this week.
I can feel it on my schizo bones.
There's still yet another bombshell to be dropped on snoys and/or westoids within the next 48h, either that or massively good news for japan/nintendo.
I cannot put it into words, I simply feel it coming.

>>718720859
If you want to count mobile ports, the iOS port of SMT1 and maybe 2 could be their worst selling games.
>Lazy ports of the GBA games
>English version of the SMT2 port website just to say that the game will never release in the West now or in the future

>>718720972
hope it's an announcement for a Prime 4 direct.

>>718720972
Is it a Super Mario Sunshine Sequel?
https://x.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1958650324727615839

>>718720857
Hero academia.

>>718721045
to be fair the MHA fanbase is the kind of soiboy that would be still on the sinking ship that is the kikestation, especially after the ending pissed off basically anyone sane, it may legit not do that well on the switch

>>718716009
I think this image encapsulates my gripes with Mega Evolution: They're either way too try hard or just too minimal to feel like a jump in "power." I will admit that I got a chuckle out of the Kanji joke in Pyroar though.

>>718720782
P3 was seen as really clunky at first and attracted mainly the "I'm 14 and this is DEEP" crowd before people kneejerked at P4 being more overtly upbeat and wearing the slice of life anime vibe on its sleeve and said "You know what, we were too hard on Persona 3!"

>>718719945
>>718720074
>there's decades were nothing happens, and weeks where decades happen
holy fucking shit what the fuck is going on at snoy
also how much of this is delayed inertia collapse from USAID fund cuts?

>>718720903
*that fake news
>>718720972
Maybe they'll announce a new PC port. For what, I don't even know at this point. Please be Astrobot.

>>718721045
I mean, after that ending I'd say it's fitting it won't release on console that became the Number 1 of the generation and its successor and instead is on the one's that gave up and became third parties

What first party games are you looking forward to?

>>718720774
>shills for palworld, it dies a week later
>shills for the switch 1 emulators, nintendo takes them down
>shills for genshin impact, ps4 players can't no longer play it
>shills for playstation, goes third party
Everything that schizo shills goes to shit. He's like a walking curse.

>>718720972
is it the fairgame$ cancelation?

>>718721251
I think a Switch 2 port is more likely because the Joy-Cons have gyro.

>>718721347
Holy shit anon, don't cauterize snoys that hard.

>>718721427
the switch 1 joycons also have gyro
source: i have been finally getting into BOTW and older switch 1 stuff lately after buying an used oled one

>>718721427
Astrobot is for sure coming to Switch 2, we just don't know when. I give it a year starting whenever the PC port releases

>>718721350
Prime 4.
>but what if it's delayed?
I've waited years already, I can wait another. Besides, I've got plenty of games on my backlog.

>>718721427
They could be arrogant enough to force DualSense use on a PC release. Switch 2 would be such an obvious humiliation ritual I don't think they would ever consider it. Game probably made money back already anyway so I doubt they're that desperate.

>>718720972
the only thing I could feasibly see is Death Stranding coming to Switch 2 and the door being opened for DS2 to go multiplat now that the wind is entirely out of that sail. Alternatively, Nintendo and Pocketpair settling out of court and Palworld on Switch 2.

>>718721719
Pocket pair already said Palworld could be on Switch 2 if it can run it, this was months after they got sued mind you

>>718721371
Don't forget Roblox.

>>718721807
Lawsuit have nothing to do with copyright, it's patent bullshit.

Nintendo was suing Copl and they still released a game on their platforms.

>>718718260
>>718718909
That somehow explains quite a bit: Nintendo wants their creations to stick in your mind; they want you to play games made by them, take delight in what you play, and whether it's the colorful design, the music, the way the characters move or act, or even the way the controller feels in your hand, they want you to take subconscious note of all of it and go "that's Nintendo; I recognize how this feels to me" even if you're playing one of their older or newer games down the line, and feel joy over what you play all over again.

Also, Nintendo Forecast might legit have some of the best videos on Nintendo of the Nintendo-focused channels I've seen.

>>718721719
i mean, there's always legislations against debanking, especially in japan
that shit happening in japan would snowball across the rest of the world rather quickly because any lawyer would fucking salivate at the thought of raping an infinite money vault in court for as much money as they can gouge out of them

>>718721719
DS1 would be fun but not an earth shattering event for Snoys since that already happened with the PC port announcement. ("WHAT DO YOU MEAN SONY LET HIM USE THEIR OWN ENGINE AND PORT IT TO PC?!?!?!") Plus it even came out on Xbox already. DS1 would for sure be Direct material. It's only a matter of when Kojimbo gets his hands on a devkit. DS2 I will predict will get ported to PC exactly a year after release.

>>718721912
he really backs the wrong horse
every
time

>>718721350
The Xbox lineup is so unappealing outside of NG4 lol, it's crazy

>>718721963
it makes sense even in game design philosophy mind you
nintendo games run on intrinsic motivations to game, awards and shiny badges are secondary, the gameplay goes first
the rest of modern gaming is extrinsic, and mind you this applies even if you ignore FOMO-riddlen GAAS slop, ask any snoy or steamie and you would be surprised at how many of them only play for cheevos and to finish games ASAP

>all of these bad news for sony this week
karma keeps hitting them like a long ass train, will it keep going when they announce the PS6?
I can only imagine being as bad as the xbox one reveal at this point

>>718721350
is fable still coming out? have we even seen a good long gameplay sequence?

>>718702724
I'm unironically with Sony on this one, sorry. Fucking hate how they operate on the market, but I hate the Chinese even more. Tencent is obviously pushing highly derivative chinkware slop, and if people are going to pretend that China is the future, why wouldn't you expect actual originality from them?

>>718722230
I fully expect snoy to be stupid enough to pull a "we have a product for those that can't afford a PS6, it's called the PS5" moment unironically, especially with how snoys already tried to force that meme with the switch 2.

>>718722230
Can't wait to see how bad things will be for them after they keep selling out to India. Selling out to China was a total mess for them.

>>718719951
Best part of that video is the comment section, you can tell who is butthurt about it not running like shit. Some of them almost sound like a certain someone this board can't get rid off soon enough

>>718722331
Still in development for right now but I think all that backlash sent them back to the drawing board and nothing since so I'm actually very surprised that it's not cancelled yet.

>>718722535
You know damn well they will triple down

>>718722535
>but I think all that backlash sent them back to the drawing board
not sure they are that self aware

>>718705865
Harada is honestly one of the biggest enigmas in gaming history. I understand that his team is accustomed to Sony hardware and all, but when confronted with actual market realities, particularly on the domestic front, he literally refuses to acknowledge it. It's a complete mystery to me and I can only assume he has some kind of backroom deal going on with Sony.

>>718722535
They are probably cleaning up much as they can, doubt it going have major rewrite or anything.

>>718722685
he has been on the "the west will save us" train for a very long time, i don't think he cares about japan anymore

>>718719951
>Look up elden ring on the switch 2 to find said video.
>Accidentally find out the last switch 1 emulator that still was getting updates got fucking murdered today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xDCqw5q-Js
Holy fucking shit, the pile just keeps growing.

>>718708556
200k is my bet. Kirby is huge in Japan. It won't do MKW numbers and will probably underperform internationally. But it'll do fine in Japan.

>>718722369
yeah sony's pretty justified on this one
those fuckers literally came to them with a horizon spin-off pitch, got rejected and then made that lmao

it's still pretty hypocritical of the gaming world at large how you never hear a peep about this,
yet somehow everyone condemns nintendo for how they chose to handle palworld

>>718722230
*this bad news
I'm not even being a pedantic asshole I genuinely think it's a weird quirk of English that learners have to be taught specifically.
>>718722203
Like I feel like a fucking fag sometimes for believing in Nintendo Exceptionalism but powering through Matt McMuscles' What Happened series really hammered the idea home for me. There's multiple stories, from Retro making Prime 1 and being tardwrangled effectively to Western devs visiting Nintendo HQ in Kyoto and being amazed, that impress upon you that Nintendo uniquely has their shit together relative to the industry that no one else can quite match. Even when it comes to preservation. The gigaleak showed they archive fucking EVERYTHING. Meanwhile you have SE needing to reverse engineer KH1 and go to Nintendo for backups of Secret of Mana.

>>718722685
He's still holding his L from buying into the WII U and having Tekken Tag 2 bomb financially because of it. That and it's super awkward to work with Nintendo knowing full well they're the ones who took in Takahashi and gave him a breakout JRPG series after Harada shot Xenosaga in the leg personally.

>>718719951
>>718722805
For anyone interested in seeing how Elden Ring runs on Switch 2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPqDDWH7oQw

>>718722203
I think it's also just the fact that, as a craftsman/artisan, you sell your product based on the fact that the product is linked with or has an association with you. You want to ensure that the fact that the product is made by you is reason enough for people to buy it. By making their products, and their brand by association, associated with having an enjoyable experience, and making sure to maintain that association, Nintendo ensures that they'll always have a customer. Probably a good thing that Nintendo is also fairly competent and ruthless on the business side of things too or I think they'd have gone extinct by now.

>>718722478
Why are they coping with "this is the docked version. the handheld version runs like shit"? What, does the handheld resolution fuck up the framerate or something?

>>718722810
Don't get me wrong, I'm with you on the hypocrisy angle. Sony was never operating in good faith. But I'm not going to pretend that what Tencent is doing isn't complete BS. China shills are always bragging about how it's the greatest thing since the Holy Roman Empire, so where exactly is the great Chinese media? I'm looking very, very hard and I just can't find it. And it's not like I've programmed myself just to hate everything Chinese.

>>718722838
>Matt McMuscles
Huh, I just found that channel a few days ago and I've been watching his worst fighting game videos lately. Weird.

>>718722930
this shit could be 8k120fps and i still wouldn't buy it but i thought it was the handheld mode ign was bitching about (and then jewtubers took it to the extreme as always)

>>718722895
This is the stupidest reason to not support the Switch.
Like, fuck, are you seriously that butthurt over a Wii U game underperforming or do you seriously think the Wii U and the Switch are comparable, like at all?

>Sony sells evo
>Bungie CEO leaves
>PS5 price hikes
Sony out here collecting Ls like it's dragon ball.

>>718723050
>Japan's idea of "protecting the brand"
>Make stuff so good that people literal decades in the future still want to play it while refusing to devalue your own stuff.

>Westoid's idea of "protecting the brand"
>Massive waves of censorship and debanking trying to kill the competition after a billion dollar push to try poison them failed beyond killing three of the five JP companies that were already bootlicking you.

>>718704625
threadly reminder that despite famitsufag delusions, palworld did not launch on playstation.

>>718722895
Business is business. Not all bets work out. The Wii U was a disaster, we all get it. And I can even accept having cold feet during the entire Switch 1 gen. But right now it's absolutely unacceptable and Harada should know better. Also, it's not like he has to go to after hours drinks with Monolith staff, that whole grunge (assuming there even is one) predates the Wii U.

Again, I can only assume there is some kind of backroom deal going on with either Bamco collectively or Harada/his staff personally.

>>718723354
bad news comes in three it seems

>>718722930
This isn't the first example of Fromsoft being incompetent and cutting corners.

>>718712223
what is this schizophrenia

>>718722930
This doesn't look unplayable, nor does it appear to be a huge step back graphically. Builds for conventions are usually months behind the actual latest dev build for their own optimisation pass, so I'd presume more improvements on release.
There isn't much info other than the release this year and some extra customisation options.
I wonder if they'll have a performance/visuals toggle in the options.

Most PS5 users just use it to play F2P software.

>>718723050
I guess Miyamoto's and Yokoi's education really ended up shaping up their philosophies which in turn influenced the rest of Nintendo; create videogames as good-ass products that are actually easy to use and enjoy. If you do a good enough job in pretty much sells itself.

Still going to call you palsnoys

It's Thursday, time to shank the Snoy
>YoshiP want to release FF14 and 16 on Switch2
Now this is real bad news for Snoy. If FF14 works well on Switch 2 it will be a disaster for PS

>>718723359
For corporate Nintendo at least, it seems that they have decided that adopting craftsman/artisan values for making products is good for business more often than not.

>>718723662
Post the one where MH Wilds fell out but Rise is in.

>>718723613
For all their incompetency, I can't believe I'm saying this, but FROM aren't that bad compared to their modern AAA contemporaries.
Bloodborne running at sub-30 fps on a base PS4 most of the time feels like wonderful optimization for how the game's aesthetic looks compared to the complete fucking blurry mess disaster that is MKW on a PiS5 pro not hitting 60fps on performance mode unless you are looking either straight down or straight up.

>>718723910
>MKW
I meant MHW, fucking shit.

>>718723906
sure
Top US/Canada is just sport slop lol, no wonder they only post this in the JP blog

>>718723910
Fair enough, anon. And you're right, for what it's worth. I was being a bit unfair because anything Bamco related immediately puts me on the defensive.

>>718723880
>26
the fact IGN are apparently complaining about the confirmation button being where O would be on a snoystation (it doesn't say that, but i can guess they are) is massive levels of pettiness im not going to overlook like the rest of the westoids are

>>718724043
Thanks anon. Capcom had it coming.

>>718723880
>34
WHAT FUCKING FOREIGN GAMES?
THE WESTOIDS HAVE DONE FUCK ALL FOR HALF A DECADE NOW AND COUNTING

>>718724096
>Confirmation on A (O) button
Nintenchad won again.

>>718723910
Wilds run like anus even on top end rigs and that with Nvidia snake oil shit.

Only a new game can fix that because engine needs be rewritten from scratch.

>>718723385
It didn't launch on PS but Sony went out of their way to get buddy-buddy with Pocketpair just to cut into Pokemon's niche/aesthetic. Which makes their ire at Tencent for doing the same thing to Horizon all the more ironic.

>>718724096
That would be retarded of IGN to complain about considering that tendies are accustomed to the A button (usually) being the confirmation button.

>>718723880
I don't think FF16 is a particularly good game, and I'm not into the whole MMO thing. But Yoshida is probably the last truly competent man at Square and I hope he doesn't fuck up the port. But knowing Square, I fully expect executive shenanigans.

>>718724186
It's more of the cause Chink and JP are very harsh on their game review and aren't afraid to give those early access games a yellow or red review on steam.

>>718724096
Unrelated but I can confirm my own levels of pettiness have reached something similar.
For years I have complained about how third party controllers need to adopt symmetrical sticks because that's the main problem I always had with xbone and switch controllers.
Nowadays out of spite I'm starting to refuse to buy symmetric stick controllers despite them starting to come out because asymmetric is now how nintendo does it.

>>718724249
The engine is actually really good... if you use it what it was meant for, small, heavily detailed areas. Rise legitimately runs fantastic, even on switch. EVERY TIME crapcom tries to force this engine into an open world, it fucking shits itself.

>>718724043
>Mogged it's own series
Wilds giga flopped

>>718723971
I remember the comparison of load times between an average PC running Monster Hunter World and the Playstation. It was something like 20 seconds just to go from the title screen to the hub.
Sadly can't seem to find one for Wilds.

>>718724323
i hope nintendo teams up with Tencent and push for the horizon clone to be on the Switch 2

>>718723880
>>YoshiP want to release FF14 and 16 on Switch2
Here.

>>718724393
>But Yoshida is probably the last truly competent man at Square and I hope he doesn't fuck up the port.
Hey put some respect on Kawazu's name, SaGa is doing pretty damn well for itself all things considered

>>718723649
News outlets think what you're seeing is a disaster and completely unplayable, yet it looks fine and inline with what from usually puts out. I truly believe the fear mongering was deliberate because they knew Sony would announce price increases on the same day

>>718724470
Imagine if they worked out a deal which included the subscription as part of Nintendo's online service.

>>718724512
I haven't played a SaGa game since the PS2. So I wouldn't know. He did work on the last good FF though, so props for Kawazu.

That would honestly be such an amazing move. But I genuinely can't see it happening. The NSO tax wouldn't cover it.

>>718724567
the comedy is ER runs better on the switch 2 than the average goyslop does on its given big boy consoles they pass off as cinematic

>>718723880
Where is no. 1?
>>718724186
Balatro is p cool

>>718724470
Mind you, this is the one FF game they've been trying to get on Nintendo since the Switch was new. I can only assume they didn't feel comfortable asking for Switch owners to buy an SD card to download it and that's why it never materialized

>>718724649
Or switch 2 server with priority housing for expansion pack user.

>>718724928
On the expansion version maybe, not the base one.

>>718725017
It just common 5ch news thread

>>718705865
The gaming side of Bamco has consistently been shooting themselves in the foot ever since Harada was promoted to General Manager with their only lucky break being publishing Fromsoft games but they might lose that. This guy needs to be Nagoshi'd ASAP before he can do further harm.

>>718721371
Palworld was not a sony product. Hell it didn't even launch on playstation.

>>718725118
Never promote a guy who makes all of his big business decisions in a bar.

>>718725229
Sony paid it way into palworld, so yes palworld NOW is a Sony product

>>718725118
Wonder what the suits thought when Xenoblade 3 got a GOTY nomination right after Harada cancelled Xenosaga HD citing "There's no market for Xeno" as a reason

>>718724928

At the same time, XIV's free until the end of Stormblood unless you REALLY want to play as a Hrothgar. I can see still having to sub but they throw you a bone and give you Shadowbringers and Endwaker for free but you still have to buy Dawntrail on Switch.

>>718725229
We saw plenty of the usual suspects crusading for Palworld when the drama dropped. Same thing with Gayshit Impact back in the day.

>>718725403
>At the same time, XIV's free until the end of Stormblood unless you REALLY want to play as a Hrothgar.
I'm probably going to ask a really, really, really stupid question, so please be patient with me, but wouldn't this conflict with physical editions being sold?

>mihomo promised switch genshin port in 2020
>Switch 2 is now a thing and still no port.

>>718725415
desu snoys will bat for anything that isn't released on Nintendo because they don't play games.

>>718725492
They stopped selling physical versions of the game years ago.

>>718725229
>Palworld was not a sony product
I didn't say it was, but he was one of those niggers here that was shilling it a lot because it was going to "replace" pokemon

>>718725502
>The PS4 version was terminated, so there are actually less versions than when they started

>>718725816
Nothing can replace Pokémon. Countless have tried; all have failed.

>>718725941
Reality isn't the remedy for serious delusion you think it is.

>>718725941
Which is why people made fun of the palworld fanbase. They really thought this chink game was going to replace one of the biggest franchises ever. It's not even the same gameplay lol

>>718726008
We're talking about delusions and you think this is just going to vanish?

https://www.dualshockers.com/metroid-prime-4-beyond-has-been-rated-by-the-esrb/
ESRB has rated Prime 4. It's only a matter of time.

>Switch 2 – 179.641 (1.856.764)
>Switch – 37.346 (35.906.946)
>PlayStation 5 – 17.531 (6.980.641)
Switch 2 has already reached 25% of the PlayStation 5's install base and the system has only been out for two months. But you've got companies like picrel who have dropped the PS4, ignored the NSW1 for most of the generation, and are showing no signs of meaningful improvements with the NSW2.

>>718726221
Anon I think he was agreeing with you

>>718726221
I don't think anon thinks that

>>718726164
Chink? Isn't the game Japanese?

>>718726265
Persona 3 Demake this early into the Switch 2's life is extremely meaningful. Some people didn't even expect it to release on anything Nintendo at all

>>718725816
he shills just about anything that could be considered anti-nintendo. regardless of validity.
>>718726164
keep screaming its not japanese, it won't change reality.

>>718726273
>>718726283
ah, it appeared like he was calling him delusional for thinking pokemon couldn't be replaced
It's 2am and i'm not part of the previous replies so i'll put down my misunderstand to how i should be sleeping
apologies

>>718726314
It's chinks larping as nips

>>718726221
Yeah, I completely agree. It's kind of astonishing just how profitable Pokémon is. TPC did a great job keeping the IP alive via merchandise and other enterprises. The games might suck ass, but I'm really happy for the success of the franchise.

>>718726314
>>718726392
Palworld wasn't developed by chinks? if so, my bad

Top 30 soon don't make a thread until then

>>718726439
If true, that explains a lot actually.

>>718726453
The games at this point are just the means to allow more anime and merchandise. The source is secondary to what really brings the cash in.

>>718726345
>Persona 3 Demake
A P-Studio game ported by Team Maniax who has nothing to do with Persona isn't meaningful at all. It's a regression if anything. You didn't see P-Studio port SMTVV to PS4/PS5, Creative 1st Productive did it on their own, so why can't the Persona team? It shows a disinterest in learning how to code for the Switch 2 which doesn't bode well for Persona 4 Remake (we already know it's skipping the platform) and Persona 6. Team Maniax can't eternally port games, they've got their own games to worry about.

>>718726392
Will do, palsnoy

>>718726439
Just confirmed it, it's actually Japanese. But I guess it's spiritually chinksoft.

>>718726569
If Team Maniax's responsible for the port then all that means is that P-Studio no longer has a strong say on where they put their shit now. "Oh you don't want to port it? Fine, give the code to the guys upstairs now"

>>718726618
Just call them PCsnoys

>>718726997
I already call them PC vegans
