A new Crash game has been one of the worst kept secrets over the past few months.

It's been a matter of when ever since that PlayStation ad around early December

Heartily agree. Not everyone always gets a chance to play with others. Usually, I do not interact with people whenever I play games. Very rarely, if at all.
Well, the main goal was to increase interactivity in the real world, but since the DS era, Pokemon jumped all in on the online aspect, meaning you can obtain them in like 5 seconds, rendering it pointless.

Also, there haven't been any new ones after Gen 6, so idk why it's still around aside from tradition.

In that era, I basically went without, but I get what you mean. It definitely is an antiquated gimmick nowadays.

Trade evolutions I've learnt to live with.

Trade evolutions that require an item still annoy me.

Good luck trying to get a Porygon Z.
Funnily enough that was one of the first ones I got.

I remember completing the national dex in Y and Slowking was the last Pokemon I needed. Would be nice if the GTS had an option to filter for Pokemon holding the necessary evolution item. Like it was easier to find a Slowking up for trade then a Slowpoke with a King's Rock.

At this point, I'm betting on Smash next week or the last week of June.

It'd be nice to be wrong but, frankly put, I legit forgot for a few weeks there even was a character coming soon. ****'s been crazy rn.

Todays been one of those days where I'm really tired for basically no reason.

I just have too keep trudging forward, I suppose. Just two more hours until I can clock out and go home.

Here's to next week and that the 16th rumor is perhaps true.

I'm pretty sure MVCI sold about a the same as UMVC3. It did take a while to get there tho. But I could be wrong about that. Had it had better reception(as in better aesthetics and Ike Pulmutter not being a petty *****), it would have sold even better than UMVC3 I think.

DBFZ had sold about 5 million copies so far. Which is about as much Tekken 7.

Iirc, he was the CEO who would shoot down stuff like XMEN and Fantastic 4 crossing over in Marvel properties like video games cause he wanted Sony/Fox to give up the rights to the movie licenses iirc. Basically, if I'm remembering it correctly, it was a "Kill via starvation" technique. Make certain franchises less known in the public eye, so when Sony/Fox do make movies on them, there's less general appeal.

Not only that, but he's got a recorded history of generally being an awful human being. Why did War Machine suddenly get a new actor in Iron Man 2? Perlmutter said that all black people look alike so replacing the original actor wouldn't be noticed. Why did it take so long for Black Panthee and Captain Marvel to start getting worked on? "Black people/women don't sell!" Iron Man 3's villan was actually a woman before Perlmutter barged in yelling "GIRL TOYS DON'T SELL MAKE THE VILLAIN A MAN!" yet despite this no toys were made for the Iron Man 3 villain. The list goes on and on, even for pettier **** like getting mad people invited to an event dared to eat more than a single snack for wasting his money

I just hope these Arcade 1UP collabs will lead to physical releases of the MVC titles. Espeically X-Men vs Street Fighter, never had a modern re-release of some kind like most of the other titles had to some point.

But with the Mouse being an evil conqueror, the X-Men series doesn't have to be worried getting shafted for fighting games.

Now, if MVC can more than 2 Spider-Man characters in a single title, we're really gonna get crazy.

MVCI sold about as well as UMVC3, but significantly worse than vanilla MvC3. Who knows how well the DLC fared but MVCI definitely undersold compared to Capcom's expectations.

Basically. He tried to completely de-value both of those franchises since Fox had their movie rights. I think even the comics had been messed with, like the Fantastic 4 not having a main title for like 2-3 years or so. And when they were trying super hard to push the Inhumans, there was a story around that time where more Inhumans were being made, but it caused some mutants to become sterile and not have kids. Which is next level petty. I think it was Inhumans vs X-Men or something.

I don't know how he'd try to screw over Sony, but he couldn't exactly do that to Spider-Man with him being literally the most popular Marvel character of them all.

Could have done better if Ike Pulmutter wasn't such a ****head and just gave people some of the ****ing X-Men and Dr. Doom. The might've still be ugly, but at least people would have their favorite characters.

Then you look at MUA3, and that roster is pretty damn sick. They even added Spider-Man characters like Punisher and Morbius.

I think you made your distaste for Ike Pulmutter pretty clear already haha. I was simply giving you information on how well MVCI sold since you seemed unsure.

Ex-CEO of Marvel. He's a racist/sexist cheapscate who really liked the Inhumans. They got rid of him in the MCU, but he still has other parts, like the Netflix shows.
As far as I can tell from my brief researching after I read this post, he actually lost control of Marvel Television in 2019. Now he's just... chairman. Kevin Feigie is now the CCO and the company.... doesn't really have a CEO.

Really wish the Inhumans had gotten a better treatment in Marvel Media. I really like them, but now everyone else hates them because their show was bad and they tried to replace their precious X-Men.

Well, he's a jerk for a lot of reasons, Which more people already mentioned the other stuff. Like who doesn't include their 2nd most popular character, and literally their most iconic female hero(as in Storm)?

FUMBLED. THE. BAG.

Still, I hope we can get physical releases. Cause I don't have the capital to buy like 3 arcade machines.

Look, I don't hate the Inhumans or anything, But you're the last person who gets to call out fans getting mad about something. Given how you reacted about Byleth and Corrin.

Well, do keep me posted on your progress with the guy.

I pretty much cheesed him using chain attacks (Player controlled Melia -> Summon Bolt discharge, Dunban -> Blossom Dance, Reyn -> Sword Drive). Said arts were at least rank 7, though.
I will, think I'm gonna wait until I get higher level & Sharla's Cure Round however, since that move will help ALOT dealing with debuff & such.

I probably could have handled it better. I'm usually more chill than that. But I don't like it when people get all uppity and/or passive aggressive. But then no one else is allowed express their disappointment in something when they do a lot. I don't even hate MVCI, I just think its disappointing. It does some genuinely cool stuff. Like the shame cube. I really like the shame cube.

So I apologize for being rude.

And you know I usually try my best to stay positive.

Anyway, on the bright side of things, the PS5 stuff is tomorrow. Maybe we'll see what Insomniac is cooking up. Or something from Namco/Capcom.
